What you need

  • Reliable tyre-pressure gauge
  • Air pump or compressor if adjustment is needed

Step by step

  1. 1

    Identify the fitted tyre size

    Toyota's cited ZVW30 manual provides different values for 185/65R15, 195/65R15 and 215/45R17 configurations.

  2. 2

    Read the vehicle placard

    Confirm the individual car's pressure label before adjustment.

  3. 3

    Open the exact ZVW30 reference

    Use the linked CarFactBook fact for the matching tyre package rather than a generic Prius pressure.

  4. 4

    Measure cold

    Take the reading before significant driving so heat has not raised tyre pressure.

  5. 5

    Adjust front and rear correctly

    Set pressure according to the matching front/rear values and remeasure after adding or releasing air.

  6. 6

    Repeat and monitor

    Check all four tyres and investigate persistent pressure loss.

Important: The cited values are configuration and production-period sensitive. The individual vehicle placard is the final check.
