Tire inflation pressure

 Effects of incorrect tire inflation pressure

Driving with incorrect tire inflation pressure may result in the following:

 Reduced fuel efficiency

 Reduced driving comfort and tire life

 Reduced safety

 Damage to the drive train

If a tire needs frequent inflating, have it checked by any authorized Toyota

dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional.

 Instructions for checking tire inflation pressure

When checking tire inflation pressure, observe the following:

 Check only when the tires are cold.

If your vehicle has been parked for at least 3 hours or has not been

driven for more than 1.5 km or 1 mile, you will get an accurate cold tire

inflation pressure reading.

 Always use a tire pressure gauge.

The appearance of the tire can be misleading. In addition, tire inflation

pressure that is even just a few pounds off can affect ride quality and

handling.

 Do not reduce tire inflation pressure after driving. It is normal for tire infla-

tion pressure to be higher after driving.

 Never exceed the vehicle capacity weight.

Passengers and luggage weight should be placed so that the vehicle is

balanced.

Make sure to maintain proper tire inflation pressure. Tire inflation

pressure should be checked at least once per month. However,

Toyota recommends that tire inflation pressure be checked once

every two weeks. (P. 353)
