06 SIENNA_U (L/O 0603) CAUTION Observe the following instructions. Otherwise, an accident may occur resulting in death or serious injuries. SNOW TIRE INSTALLATION Snow tires should be installed on all wheels. Installing snow tires on the front wheels only can lead to an excessive difference in road grip capability between the front and rear tires which could cause loss of vehicle control. When storing removed tires, you should store them in a cool dry place. Mark the direction of rotation and be sure to install them in the same direction when replacing. TIRE CHAIN SELECTION Use the tire chains of correct size and type. Use SAE Class "S" type radial tire chains except radial cable chains or V- bar type chains. Regulations regarding the use of tire chains vary according to location or type of road, so always check local regulations before installing chains. CHAIN INSTALLATION Install the chains on the front tires as tightly as possible. Do not use tire chains on the rear tires. Retighten chains after driving 0.5-1.0 km (1/4-1/2 mile). When installing chains on your tires, carefully follow the instructions of the chain manufacturer. If wheel covers are used, they will be scratched by the chain band, so remove the covers before putting on the chains. D Do not use snow tires other than the manufacturer's recommended size, as this may cause dangerous handling characteristics resulting in loss of control. D All- wheel drive models: Do not use snow tires of different brands, sizes, construction or tread patterns, as this may cause dangerous handling characteristics resulting in loss of control. CAUTION D Do not drive with the snow tires incorrectly inflated. D Never drive over 120 km/h (75 mph) with any type of snow tires. D Vehicles with run- flat tires-Do not replace or repair the tire by yourself. When the tires must be replaced or repaired, consult your Toyota dealer or authorized tire dealer. 479 2006 SIENNA from March '06 Prod. (OM45443U)
