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.

■

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. 384)

The compact spare tire is not equipped with the tire pressure
warning valve and transmitters.
