 Use only Toyota wheel nuts and wrenches designed for use with
your aluminum wheels.
 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-
tic or rubber hammer when balancing your wheels.

When replacing wheels (vehicles with a tire pressure warning system)
The wheels of your vehicle are equipped with tire pressure warning valves
and transmitters that allow the tire pressure warning system to provide
advance warning in the event of a loss in tire inflation pressure. Whenever
wheels are replaced, tire pressure warning valves and transmitters must be
installed. (

Wheels
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.
