CAUTION
# Do not exceed 50 km/h (30 mph)
or the chain manufacturer’s rec-
ommended speed limit, whichever
is lower.
# Drive carefully avoiding bumps,
holes, and sharp turns, which
may cause the vehicle to
bounce.
# Avoid sharp turns or locked−
wheel braking, as use of chains
may adversely affect vehicle han-
dling.
# When driving with chains
installed, be sure to drive care-
fully. Slow down before entering
the curves to avoid losing con-
trol of the vehicle. Otherwise an
accident may occur.
Replacing wheels
WHEN TO REPLACE YOUR WHEELS
If you have wheel damage such as
bending, cracks or heavy corrosion, the
wheel should be replaced.
If you fail to replace damaged wheels, the
tire may slip off the wheel or cause loss
of handling control.
WHEEL SELECTION
When replacing wheels, care should be
taken to ensure that the wheels are re-
placed by ones with the same load ca-
pacity, diameter, rim width, and offset.
Correct replacement wheels are available
at your Toyota dealer.
A wheel of a different size or type may
adversely affect handling, wheel and bear-
ing life, brake cooling, speedometer/odom-
eter calibration, stopping ability, headlight
aim, bumper height, vehicle ground clear-
ance, and tire or snow chain clearance to
the body and chassis.
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.
