Safety information
Damaged tires can lose tire infla-
tion pressure, which can lead to
loss of vehicle control. There is a
risk of an accident. If tire damage
is suspected while driving, imme-
diately reduce speed and stop.
Have wheels and tires checked.
For this purpose, drive carefully to
the nearest your Toyota dealer.
Have vehicle towed or trans-
ported as needed. Do not repair
damaged tires, but have them
replaced.
Tires can become damaged by
driving over obstacles, e.g., curbs
or road damage, at high speed.
Larger wheels have a smaller tire
crosssection. The smaller the tire
cross-section, the higher the risk
of tire damage. There is a danger
of accidents and property dam-
age. If possible, avoid driving over
objects or road conditions that
may damage tires, or drive over
them slowly and carefully.
