Before Driving
■ Use snow tires on all four wheels
Do not go faster than 75 mph (120 km/h) while driving with snow
tires. Inflate snow tires 30 kPa (0.3 kgf/cm
2
, 4.3 psi) more than rec-
ommended on the tire pressure label (driver’s door frame), but
never more than the maximum cold-tire pressure shown on the
tires.
The vehicle is originally equipped with all season radials designed
to be used all year around. In some extreme climates you may find
it necessary to replace them with snow tires during the winter
months to further improve traction on snow and ice covered roads.
Check local regulations before using tire chains.
Install the chains on the front tires only.
Do not use chains on the rear tires.
Please consult your Toyota dealer.
■ Installing the chains
If your vehicle is equipped with wheel covers remove them, oth-
erwise the chain bands will scratch them.
Secure the chains on the front tires as tightly as possible.
Always follow the chain manufacturer’s instructions.
Retighten the chains after driving 1/4—1/2 mile (1/2—1 km).
If your vehicle is equipped with the tire pressure monitoring system, the
system may not function correctly when using tire chains.
Snow Tires
WARNING
■ Use only the same size and type tires (snow, radial, or non-radial)
on all four wheels
Using tires different in size or type is dangerous. Your vehicle’s handling
could be greatly affected and result in an accident.
NOTICE
Check local regulations before using studded tires.
