8-2. Steps to take in an emergency

■ System warning light

In the following situation, the master warning light will not come on or flash.

Instead, a separate system warning light will come on along with a message

displayed on the multi-information display.

● Malfunction of the brake system

The brake system warning light will come on. (P. 545)

■ Warning buzzer

In some cases, the buzzer may not be heard because of noisy place or an

audio sound.

■ Engine oil change reminder message comes on (1ND-TV engine only)

Replace the engine oil filter when the engine oil change reminder message

does not come on even if you have driven over 15000 km (9300 miles) after

the engine oil was changed.

There is a possibility that the “Oil maintenance required.” message has been

displayed when you have driven less than 15000 km (9300 miles) based on a

usage or driving condition.

WARNING

■ When driving to clean the DPF catalytic converter (diesel engine)

When driving, pay sufficient attention to weather, road conditions, terrain

and traffic conditions, and be sure to observe traffic laws and/or regulations.

Failure to do so may cause an unexpected accident, resulting in death or

serious injury.

NOTICE

■ When the DPF system warning message comes on (diesel engine)

If the DPF system warning message is left on without performing cleaning,

after an additional 100 to 300 km (62 to 187 miles), the malfunction indicator

lamp may come on. If this happens, have the vehicle inspected by any

authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped

professional immediately.

■ If the fuel filter warning message comes on (diesel engine)

Never drive the vehicle with the warning message is shown. Continued driv-

ing with water accumulated in the fuel filter will damage the fuel injection

pump.

WARNING

■ Using the tire jack

Observe the following precautions.

Improper use of the tire jack may cause the vehicle to suddenly fall off the

jack, leading to death or serious injury.

● Do not use the tire jack for any purpose other than replacing tires or install-

ing and removing tire chains.

● Only use the tire jack that comes with this vehicle for replacing a flat tire.

Do not use it on other vehicles, and do not use other tire jacks for replac-

ing tires on this vehicle.

● Put the jack properly in its jack point.

● Do not put any part of your body under the vehicle while it is supported by

the jack.

● Do not start the engine or drive the vehicle while the vehicle is supported

by the jack.

● Do not raise the vehicle while someone is inside.

● When raising the vehicle, do not put an object on or under the jack.

Remove all the wheel nuts and

the tire.

When resting the tire on the

ground, place the tire so that the

wheel design faces up to avoid

scratching the wheel surface.

WARNING

■ Replacing a flat tire

● Do not touch the disc wheels or the area around the brakes immediately

after the vehicle has been driven.

After the vehicle has been driven the disc wheels and the area around the

brakes will be extremely hot. Touching these areas with hands, feet or

other body parts while changing a tire, etc. may result in burns.

● Failure to follow these precautions could cause the wheel nuts to loosen

and the tire to fall off, resulting in death or serious injury.

• Never use oil or grease on the wheel bolts or wheel nuts.

Oil and grease may cause the wheel nuts to be excessively tightened,

leading to bolt or disc wheel damage. In addition, the oil or grease can

cause the wheel nuts to loosen and the wheel may fall off, causing a

serious accident. Remove any oil or grease from the wheel bolts or

wheel nuts.

• Have the wheel nuts tightened with a torque wrench to 103 N•m

(10.5 kgf•m, 76 ft•lbf) as soon as possible after changing wheels.

• Do not attach a heavily damaged wheel ornament, as it may fly off the

wheel while the vehicle is moving.

• When installing a tire, only use wheel nuts that have been specifically

designed for that wheel.

8

• If there are any cracks or deformations in the bolt screws, nut threads or

bolt holes of the wheel, have the vehicle inspected by any authorized

Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped profes-

sional.

• When installing the wheel nuts, be sure to install them with the tapered

ends facing inward. (P. 507)

8-2. Steps to take in an emergency

Installing the spare tire

Remove any dirt or foreign mat-

1

ter from the wheel contact sur-

face.

If foreign matter is on the wheel

contact surface, the wheel nuts

may loosen while the vehicle is in

motion, causing the tire to come

off.

2

Install the tire and loosely tighten each wheel nut by hand by

approximately the same amount.

When replacing a steel wheel

Tapered portion

with a steel wheel (including a

compact spare tire), tighten the

wheel nuts until the tapered

portion comes into loose con-

tact with the disc wheel seat.

■ The compact spare tire

● The compact spare tire is identified by the label “TEMPORARY USE ONLY”

on the tire sidewall.

Use the compact spare tire temporarily, and only in an emergency.

● Make sure to check the tire inflation pressure of the compact spare tire.

(P. 630)

■ When the compact spare tire is equipped

The vehicle becomes lower when driving with the compact spare tire com-

pared to when driving with standard tires.

■ When using the compact spare tire (vehicles with a tire pressure warn-

ing system)

As the compact spare tire is not equipped with a tire pressure warning valve

and transmitter, low inflation pressure of the spare tire will not be indicated by

the tire pressure warning system. Also, if you replace the compact spare tire

after the tire pressure warning light comes on, the light remains on.

■ If you have a flat front tire on a road covered with snow or ice

Install the compact spare tire on one of the rear wheels of the vehicle. Per-

form the following steps and fit tire chains to the front tires:

● Remember that the compact spare tire provided is specifically designed

for use with your vehicle. Do not use your compact spare tire on another

vehicle.

● Do not use more than one compact spare tires simultaneously.

● Replace the compact spare tire with a standard tire as soon as possible.

● Avoid sudden acceleration, abrupt steering, sudden braking and shifting

operations that cause sudden engine braking.

may not operate correctly:

• ABS & Brake assist

• Cruise control (if equipped)

• VSC

• EPS

• TRC

• PCS (if equipped)

• Automatic High Beam

• LDA (Lane departure alert)

(if equipped)

■ Speed limit when using the compact spare tire

Do not drive at speeds in excess of 80 km/h (50 mph) when a compact

spare tire is installed on the vehicle.

The compact spare tire is not designed for driving at high speeds. Failure to

observe this precaution may lead to an accident causing death or serious

injury.

■ After using the tools and jack

Before driving, make sure all the tools and jack are securely in place in their

storage location to reduce the possibility of personal injury during a collision

or sudden braking.

8-2. Steps to take in an emergency

575

NOTICE

■ Be careful when driving over bumps with the compact spare tire

installed on the vehicle.

The vehicle becomes lower when driving with the compact spare tire com-

pared to when driving with standard tires. Be careful when driving over

uneven road surfaces.

■ Driving with tire chains and the compact spare tire

Do not fit tire chains to the compact spare tire.

Tire chains may damage the vehicle body and adversely affect driving per-

formance.

■When replacing the tires (vehicles with a tire pressure warning system)

When removing or fitting the wheels, tires or the tire pressure warning valve

and transmitter, contact any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another

duly qualified and equipped professional as the tire pressure warning valve

and transmitter may be damaged if not handled correctly.

■ To avoid damage to the tire pressure warning valves and transmitters

(vehicles with a tire pressure warning system)

When a tire is repaired with liquid sealants, the tire pressure warning valve

and transmitter may not operate properly. If a liquid sealant is used, contact

any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and

equipped professional or other qualified service shop as soon as possible.

Make sure to replace the tire pressure warning valve and transmitter when

replacing the tire. (P. 491)
