Replacement with used wheels is not rec-
ommended as they may have been sub-
jected to rough treatment or high mileage
and could fail without warning. Also, bent
wheels which have been straightened may
have structural damage and therefore
should not be used. Never use an inner
tube in a leaking wheel which is designed
for a tubeless tire.
CAUTION
Observe the following instructions.
Otherwise, an accident may occur re-
sulting in death or serious injuries.
D
Do not use wheels other than the
manufacturer’s recommended size,
as this may cause dangerous han-
dling characteristics resulting in
loss of control.
D
Do not use wheels of different
brands, sizes and types, as this
may cause dangerous handling
characteristics resulting in loss of
control.
Aluminum wheel precautions
D
When installing aluminum wheels,
check that the wheel nuts are tight
after driving your vehicle the first 1600
km (1000 miles).
D
If you have rotated, repaired, or
changed your tires, check that the
wheel nuts are still tight after driving
1600 km (1000 miles).
D
When using tire chains, be careful not
to damage the aluminum wheels.
D
Use only Toyota wheel nuts and
wrench designed for your aluminum
wheels.
D
When balancing your wheels, use only
Toyota balance weights or equivalent
and a plastic or rubber hammer.
D
As with any wheel, periodically check
your aluminum wheels for damage. If
damaged, replace immediately.
