When to replace your vehicle’s tires
Tires should be replaced if:
l
You have tire damage such as cuts, splits, cracks deep enough to
expose the fabric or bulges indicating internal damage
l
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.
n
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
about 20 minutes, the tire pressure warning light comes on after blinking
for 1 minute to indicate a system malfunction.
n
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.
n
If the tread wears down below 0.16 in. (4 mm) on snow tires
The effectiveness of snow tires is lost.
n
If you press the tire pressure warning reset switch accidentally
If initialization is performed, adjust the tire inflation pressure to the speci-
fied level and initialize the tire pressure warning system again.
