The location of treadwear

” marks, etc.,

molded on the sidewall of
each tire.

Check spare tire condition
and inflation pressure if not
rotated.

■

Tire rotation

Rotate the tires in the order
shown.

To equalize tire wear and
extend tire life, Toyota recom-
mends that tire rotation is
carried out at the same inter-
val as tire inspection.

Vehicles with P215/70R15
and P265/70R16 tires: Do
not fail to initialize the tire
pressure warning system
after tire rotation.

■

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. (
