Be sure to observe the following precautions. Failure to do so could
cause a loss of vehicle control and result in death or serious injury.
●
Stop your vehicle in a safe place as soon as possible. Adjust the tire
inflation pressure immediately.

If a tire is flat, change it with the spare tire and have the flat tire
repaired by the nearest Toyota dealer.

Avoid abrupt maneuvering and braking. If the vehicle tires deteriorate,
you could lose control of the steering wheel or the brakes.
