Tires
Replace or rotate tires in accordance with maintenance sched-
ules and treadwear.
■ Checking tires
New tread
Treadwear indicator
Worn tread
The location of treadwear
indicators is shown by the
“TWI” or “
” 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.
AWD models: Do not fail to
initialize the tire pressure
warning system after tire
rotation.
■ The tire pressure warning system (if equipped)
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. (
→P. 404)
The compact spare tire is not equipped with the tire pressure
warning valves and transmitters.
