When rotating, repairing or changing your tires, check that the
wheel nuts are still tight after driving 1600 km (1000 miles).

Be careful not to damage the aluminum wheels when using tire
chains.

Use only Toyota genuine balance weights or equivalent and a plas-

If a wheel is bent, cracked or heavily corroded, it should be
replaced. Otherwise, the tire may separate from the wheel or
cause a loss of handling control.
