CAUTION
■
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 han-
dling characteristics, which may lead to an accident resulting in death or
serious injury.
●
Do not mix tires of different makes, models, tread patterns or tread-
wear.
●
Do not use tire sizes other than those recommended by Toyota.
●
Do not mix radial, bias-belted, or bias-ply tires.
●
Do not mix summer, all season and winter tires.
●
Do not tow the vehicle with the spare tire installed.
■
When initializing the tire pressure warning system
Do not push the tire pressure warning reset switch without first adjusting
the tire inflation pressure to the specified level. Otherwise, the tire pres-
sure warning light may not come on even if the tire inflation pressure is
low, or it may come on when the tire inflation pressure is actually normal.
