Toyota CH-R: Tire rotation

Rotate the tires in the order shown.

1. Front

2WD models: To equalize tire wear and help extend tire life, Toyota recommends that tire rotation is carried out approximately every 10000 km (6000 miles).

When rotating front and rear tires which have different tire inflation pressures, do not fail to initialize the tire pressure warning system after tire rotation.

AWD/4WD models: To equalize tire wear and help extend tire life, Toyota recommends that tire rotation is carried out approximately every 5000 km (3000 miles).

When rotating front and rear tires which have different tire inflation pressures, do not fail to initialize the tire pressure warning system after tire rotation.

Tire pressure warning system

Your vehicle is equipped with a tire pressure warning system that uses tire pressure warning valves and transmitters to detect low tire inflation pressure before serious problems arise.

The tire pressure warning system of this vehicle adopts a 2-type warning system.

• When "Adjust Pressure" is displayed (Normal Warning)

A warning with the tire pressure warning light and warning buzzer when there is an unknown level of low tire pressure with the appearance of the tire due to natural air leakage as well as the pressure lowering due to changes in the pressure according to the outside temperature.

• When "Immediately Check tire when Safe" is displayed (Emergency Warning)

A warning with the tire pressure warning light and warning buzzer when there is a known level of low tire pressure with the appearance of the tire due to pressure suddenly lowering.

However, the system may not be able to detect sudden tire ruptures (bursting, etc.).

The tire pressure detected by the tire pressure warning system can be displayed on multi-information display.

The unit can be changed.

Vehicles with 7-inch display

Vehicles with 12.3-inch display

■ How to change the unit (with 7-inch display)

1. Park the vehicle in a safe place and turn the power switch off.

Changing the unit cannot be performed while the vehicle is moving.

2. Turn the power switch to ON.

3. Press of the meter control switch to select .

4. Press to select "Vehicle Settings" and then press and hold .

5. Press to select "TPWS Setting" and then press .

6. Press to select "Pressure unit setting".

7. Press to select the desired unit and then press .

■ How to change the unit (with 12.3-inch display)

Changing the unit cannot be performed while the vehicle is moving.

2. Turn the power switch to ON

3. Press and hold to display the cursor on the content display area (center) of the multi-information display.

4. Press of the meter control switches to select " Settings" and then press .

5. Press of the meter control switches, select "Vehicle Settings" and then press and hold .

6. Press of the meter control switches, select "TPWS setting" and then press .

7. Press of the meter control switches, select the "Pressure unit setting". Then press and hold .

■Routine tire inflation pressure checks

The tire pressure warning system does not replace routine tire inflation pressure checks. Make sure to check tire inflation pressure as part of your routine of daily vehicle checks.

■Tire inflation pressure

• It may take a few minutes to display the tire inflation pressure after the power switch is turned to ON. It may also take a few minutes to display the tire inflation pressure after inflation pressure has been adjusted.
• Tire inflation pressure changes with temperature. The displayed values may also be different from the values measured using a tire pressure gauge.

■Situations in which the tire pressure warning system may not operate properly

• In the following cases, the tire pressure warning system may not operate properly.
  • If non-genuine Toyota wheels are used.
  • A tire has been replaced with a tire that is not an OE (Original Equipment) tire.
  • A tire has been replaced with a tire that is not of the specified size.
  • Tire chains, etc. are equipped.
  • An auxiliary-supported run-flat tire is equipped.
  • If a window tint that affects the radio wave signals is installed.
  • If there is a lot of snow or ice on the vehicle, particularly around the wheels or wheel housings.
  • If the tire inflation pressure is extremely higher than the specified level.
  • If tires not equipped with tire pressure warning valves and transmitters are used.
  • If the ID code on the tire pressure warning valves and transmitters is not registered in the tire pressure warning computer.
• Performance may be affected in the following situations.
  • Near a TV tower, electric power plant, gas station, radio station, large display, airport or other facility that generates strong radio waves or electrical noise.
  • When carrying a portable radio, cellular phone, cordless phone or other wireless communication device.
• When the vehicle is parked, the time taken for the warning to start or go off could be extended.
• When tire inflation pressure declines rapidly for example when a tire has burst, the not to able detect.

■Warning performance of the tire pressure warning system

The warning of the tire pressure warning system will change in accordance with driving conditions. For this reason, the system may give a warning even if the tire pressure does not reach a low enough level, or if the pressure is higher than the pressure that was adjusted to when the system was initialized.
