Emission inspection and maintenance (I/M) programs

Some states have vehicle emission inspection programs which
include OBD (On Board Diagnostics) checks. The OBD system moni-
tors the operation of the emission control system.

■

If the malfunction indicator lamp comes on

The OBD system determines that a problem exists somewhere
in the emission control system. Your vehicle may not pass the I/
M test and may need to be repaired. Contact your Toyota dealer
to service the vehicle.

■

Your vehicle may not pass the I/M test:

●

When the battery is disconnected or discharged

Readiness codes that are set during ordinary driving are
erased.
Also, depending on your driving habits, the readiness codes
may not be completely set.

●

When the fuel tank cap is loose

The malfunction indicator lamp comes on as a temporary mal-
function and your vehicle may not pass the I/M test.

■

When the malfunction indicator lamp goes off after several
driving trips

The error code in the OBD system will not be cleared unless the
vehicle is driven 40 or more times.

■

If your vehicle does not pass the I/M test

Contact your Toyota dealer to prepare the vehicle for re-testing.

drive belt.

●

Be careful not to touch the engine, radiator, exhaust manifold, etc. right
after driving as they may be hot. Oil and other fluids may also be hot.

●

Do not leave anything that may burn easily, such as paper or rags, in the
engine compartment.

●

Do not smoke, cause sparks or expose an open flame to fuel or the bat-
tery. Fuel and battery fumes are flammable.

●

Be extremely cautious when working on the battery. It contains poisonous
and corrosive sulfuric acid.

■

When working near the electric cooling fans or radiator grille

Vehicles without a smart key system: Be sure the engine switch is off. With
the engine switch in the “ON” position, the electric cooling fans may auto-
matically start to run if the air conditioning is on and/or the coolant tempera-
ture is high. (

Installing tire pressure warning valves and transmitters

When replacing tires or wheels, tire pressure warning valves and
transmitters must also be installed.

When new tire pressure warning valves and transmitters are
installed, new tire pressure warning valve and transmitter ID codes
must be registered in the tire pressure warning computer and tire
pressure warning system must be initialized. Have tire pressure
warning valve and transmitter ID codes registered by your Toyota
dealer. (



P. 346)

Registering ID codes

The tire pressure warning valve and transmitter is equipped with a
unique ID code. When replacing a tire pressure warning valve and
transmitter, it is necessary to register the ID code. Have the ID code
registered by your Toyota dealer.

■

The tire pressure warning system

Your Toyota is equipped with a tire pressure warning system that
uses tire pressure warning valves and transmitters to detect low
tire inflation pressure before serious problems arise.

When to replace your vehicle’s tires

Tires should be replaced if:

●

The treadwear indicators are showing on a tire.

●

You have tire damage such as cuts, splits, cracks deep enough to
expose the fabric or bulges indicating internal damage

●

A tire goes flat repeatedly or cannot be properly repaired due to the
size or location of a cut or other damage

If you are not sure, consult with your Toyota dealer.

■

Replacing tires and wheels

If the ID code of the tire pressure warning valve and transmitter is not
registered, the tire pressure warning system will not work properly. After
driving for about 20 minutes, the tire pressure warning light comes on
after blinking for 1 minute to indicate a system malfunction.

■

Tire life

Any tire over 6 years old must be checked by a qualified technician even
if they have seldom or never been used or damage is not obvious.

■

If the tread wears down below 0.16 in. (4 mm) on snow tires

The effectiveness of snow tires is lost.

■

Low profile tires

Generally, low profile tires will wear more rapidly and tire grip perfor-
mance will be reduced on snowy and/or icy roads when compared to
standard tires. Be sure to use snow tires or tire chains on snowy and/or
icy roads and drive carefully at a speed appropriate for road and weather
conditions.

348

4-3. Do-it-yourself maintenance

■

Maximum load of tire

Check that the maximum load of the replacement tire is greater than 1/2
of the Gross Axle Weight Ratings (GAWR) of either the front axle or the
rear axle, whichever is greater.

■

Tire types

1 Summer tires

Summer tires are high-speed performance tires best suited to highway
driving under dry conditions. Since summer tires do not have the same
traction performance as snow tires, summer tires are inadequate for
driving on snow-covered or icy roads. For driving on snow-covered
roads or icy roads, the use of snow tires is recommended. When
installing snow tires, be sure to replace all four tires.

2 All season tires

All season tires are designed to provide better traction in snow and to
be adequate for driving in most winter conditions, as well as for use
year round. All season tires, however, do not have adequate traction
performance compared with snow tires in heavy or loose snow. Also,
all season tires fall short in acceleration and handling performance
compared with summer tires in highway driving.

3 Snow tires

For driving on snow-covered roads or icy roads, we recommend using
snow tires. If you need snow tires, select tires of the same size, con-
struction and load capacity as the originally installed tires. Since your
vehicle has radial tires as original equipment, make sure your snow
tires also have radial construction. Do not install studded tires without
first checking local regulations for possible restriction. Snow tires
should be installed on all wheels. (



P. 261)

For the GAWR, see the Certification
Label. For the maximum load of the
tire, see the load limit at maximum cold
tire inflation pressure mentioned on the
sidewall of the tire. (

WARNING

■

Tire pressure warning system operation

The tire pressure warning system may not provide warning immediately
if a tire bursts or if sudden air leakage occurs.

■

When inspecting or replacing tires

Observe the following precautions to prevent accidents.
Failure to do so may cause damage to parts of the drive train, as well as
dangerous handling characteristics, which may lead to an accident
resulting in death or serious injury.

●

Make sure to install 4 tires that are of the specified size, and that all 4
tires are the same size, same maker, same brand and tread pattern.

●

Do not use tire sizes other than those recommended by Toyota.

●

Only use radial tires.

●

Do not mix summer, all season and snow tires.

●

Do not use tires that have been used on another vehicle.
Do not use tires if you do not know how they were used previously.

NOTICE

■

Repairing or replacing tires, wheels, tire pressure warning valves,
transmitters and tire valve caps

●

When removing or fitting the wheels, tires or the tire pressure warning
valves and transmitters, contact your Toyota dealer as the tire pres-
sure warning valves and transmitters may be damaged if not handled
correctly.

●

Make sure to install the tire valve caps. If the tire valve caps are not
installed, water could enter the tire pressure warning valves and the
tire pressure warning valves could be bound.

●

When replacing tire valve caps, do not use tire valve caps other than
those specified. The cap may become stuck.

352

4-3. Do-it-yourself maintenance

NOTICE

■

Driving on rough roads

Take particular care when driving on roads with loose surfaces or pot
holes.
These conditions may cause losses in tire inflation pressure, reducing
the cushioning ability of the tires. In addition, driving on rough roads may
cause damage to the tires themselves, as well as the vehicle’s wheels
and body.

■

Low profile tires and wheels

Low profile tires may cause greater damage than usual to the tire wheel
when receiving impact from the road surface. Therefore pay attention to
the following:

●

Be sure to use proper tire inflation pressure. If tires are under-inflated,
they may be damaged more severely.

●

Avoid pot holes, uneven pavement, curbs and other road hazards.
Failure to do so may lead to severe tire and wheel damage.

■

If tire inflation pressures become low while driving

Do not continue driving, or your tires and/or wheels may be ruined.

■

Replacing a flat tire

Do not hit and bend the disc rotor backing plate when removing and
installing the tire. A bent backing plate may scrape against the disc rotor
and cause noise while the vehicle is in motion.

■

Tire inflation pressure check interval

You should check tire inflation pressure every two weeks, or at least
once a month.
Do not forget to check the spare.

■

Inspection and adjustment procedure

Tire valve
Tire pressure gauge

Remove the tire valve cap.
Press the tip of the tire pressure gauge onto the tire valve.
Read the pressure using the graduations of the gauge.
If the tire inflation pressure is not within the recommended
levels, adjust the pressure.
If you add too much air, press the center of the valve to
lower.
After completing the tire inflation pressure measurement
and adjustment, apply soapy water to the valve and check
for leakage.
Reinstall the tire valve cap.

Effects of incorrect tire inflation pressure

Driving with incorrect tire inflation pressure may result in the following:

●

Reduced fuel economy

●

Reduced driving comfort and poor handling

●

Reduced tire life due to wear

●

Reduced safety

●

Damage to the drive train

If a tire needs frequent refilling, have it checked by your Toyota dealer.

■

Instructions for checking tire inflation pressure

When checking tire inflation pressure, observe the following:

●

Check only when the tires are cold.
If your vehicle has been parked for at least 3 hours and has not been
driven for more than 1 mile or 1.5 km, you will get an accurate cold
tire inflation pressure reading.

●

Always use a tire pressure gauge.
It is difficult to judge if a tire is properly inflated based only on its
appearance.

●

It is normal for the tire inflation pressure to be higher after driving as
heat is generated in the tire. Do not reduce tire inflation pressure after
driving.

●

Never exceed the vehicle capacity weight.
Passengers and luggage weight should be placed so that the vehicle
is balanced.

356

4-3. Do-it-yourself maintenance

WARNING

■

Proper inflation is critical to save tire performance

Keep your tires properly inflated.
If the tires are not properly inflated, the following conditions may occur
which could lead to an accident resulting in death or serious injury:

●

Excessive wear

●

Uneven wear

●

Poor handling

●

Possibility of blowouts resulting from overheated tires

●

Air leaking from between tire and wheel

●

Wheel deformation and/or tire damage

●

Greater possibility of tire damage while driving (due to road hazards,
expansion joints, sharp edges in the road, etc.)

NOTICE

■

When inspecting and adjusting tire inflation pressure

Be sure to reinstall the tire valve caps.
If a valve cap is not installed, dirt or moisture may get into the valve and
cause an air leak, resulting in decreased tire inflation pressure.

Wheels

If a wheel is bent, cracked or heavily corroded, it should be
replaced. Otherwise, the tire may separate from the wheel or
cause loss of handling control.

■

Wheel selection

When replacing wheels, care should be taken to ensure that
they are equivalent to those removed in load capacity, diameter,
rim width, and inset

*

.

Replacement wheels are available at your Toyota dealer.

*

: Conventionally referred to as “offset”.

Toyota does not recommend using:

●

Wheels of different sizes or types

●

Used wheels

●

Bent wheels that have been straightened

■

Aluminum wheel precautions

●

Use only Toyota wheel nuts and wrenches designed for use
with your aluminum wheels.

●

When rotating, repairing or changing your tires, check that the
wheel nuts are still tight after driving 1000 miles (1600 km).

●

Be careful not to damage the aluminum wheels when using
tire chains.

●

Use only Toyota genuine balance weights or equivalent and a
plastic or rubber hammer when balancing your wheels.

358

4-3. Do-it-yourself maintenance

■

When replacing wheels

The wheels of your Toyota are equipped with tire pressure warning
valves and transmitters that allow the tire pressure warning system to
provide advanced warning in the event of a loss in tire inflation pressure.
Whenever wheels are replaced, the tire pressure warning valves and
transmitters must be installed. (



P. 346)

WARNING

■

When replacing wheels

●

Do not use wheels that are a different size from those recommended in
the Owner’s Manual, as this may result in loss of handling control.

●

Never use an inner tube in a leaking wheel which is designed for a
tubeless tire. Doing so may result in an accident, causing death or seri-
ous injury.

■

When installing the wheel nuts

●

Never use oil or grease on the wheel bolts or wheel nuts.
Oil and grease may cause the wheel nuts to be excessively tightened,
leading to bolt or disc wheel damage. In addition, the oil or grease can
cause the wheel nuts to loosen and the wheel may fall off, causing an
accident and resulting in death or serious injury. Remove any oil or
grease from the wheel bolts or wheel nuts.

●

Be sure to install the wheel nuts with
the tapered ends facing inward.
Installing the nuts with the tapered
ends facing outward can cause the
wheel to break and eventually cause
the wheel to come off while driving,
which could lead to an accident
resulting in death or serious injury.

WARNING

■

Replacing light bulbs

●

Turn off the lights. Do not attempt to replace the bulb immediately after
turning off the lights.
The bulbs become very hot and may cause burns.

●

Do not touch the glass portion of the light bulb with bare hands. When it is
unavoidable to hold the glass portion, use and hold with a clean dry cloth
to avoid getting moisture and oils on the bulb.
Also, if the bulb is scratched or dropped, it may blow out or crack.

●

Fully install the light bulbs and any parts used to secure them. Failure to
do so may result in heat damage, fire, or water entering a light unit. This
may damage the light or cause condensation to build up on the inner side
of the lens.

■

When changing the back-up lights

Stop the engine and wait until the exhaust pipes have cooled down suffi-
ciently. The lights are located near the exhaust pipe and touching a hot
exhaust pipe can cause burns.

■

To prevent damage or fire

Make sure bulbs are fully seated and locked.
