Installing tire pressure warning valve and transmitters

When replacing the tires or wheels, the tire pressure warning valve
and transmitters must be installed to the wheels which will be
installed to the vehicle.
When new tire pressure warning valve and transmitters are
installed, new ID codes must be registered in the tire pressure
warning computer and the tire pressure warning system must be
initialized. (

→P. 448)

◆

Initializing the tire pressure warning system

■

The tire pressure warning system must be initialized in the fol-
lowing circumstances:
● When the tire inflation pressure is changed such as when chang-

ing traveling speed or load weight.

● When the tire inflation pressure is changed such as when the tire

size is changed.

● When rotating the tires.
● Vehicles with a tire inflation pressure display function: After per-

forming the transmitter ID code registration procedure. (

→P. 448)

When the tire pressure warning system is initialized, the current tire
inflation pressure is set as the benchmark pressure.

■

How to initialize the tire pressure warning system

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

The initialization procedure cannot be started while the vehicle is

moving.

Adjust the tire inflation pressure to the specified cold tire inflation
pressure level. (

→P. 547)

Make sure to adjust the tire pressure to the specified cold tire infla-

tion pressure level. The tire pressure warning system will operate

based on this pressure level.

Vehicles without a smart key system: 
Turn the engine switch to the “ON” position.
Vehicles with a smart key system: 
Turn the engine switch to IGNITION ON mode.
Select 

 (4.2-inch display) or 

 (7-inch display) on the multi-

information display using the meter control switches on the steer-
ing wheel. (→P. 92, 104).

display.
Vehicles with a tire inflation

pressure display function: “- -”

will be displayed on the multi-

information display for the

inflation pressure of each tire

while initialization is being per-

formed.

Vehicles with a tire inflation pressure display function: Drive
straight (with occasional left and right turns) at approximately 25
mph (40 km/h) or more for approximately 10 to 30 minutes.

Initialization is complete when the position of each tire is determined

and the inflation pressure of each tire is displayed on the multi-infor-

mation display.
Initialization may take longer than approximately 1 hour in certain

situations, such as when the vehicle is stopped for a long time at

traffic lights, etc. (→P. 453)

Registering ID codes



Vehicles without a tire inflation pressure display function

Every tire pressure warning valve and transmitter has a unique ID
code. In addition to the set of tire pressure warning system sensor
ID codes initially registered to the vehicle, a second set of ID codes
can be registered.
A second set of tire pressure warning system sensor ID codes can
be registered at your Toyota dealer. When 2 sets of ID codes have
been registered, either ID code set can be selected.



Vehicles with a tire inflation pressure display function

Every tire pressure warning valve and transmitter has a unique ID
code. When replacing a tire pressure warning valve and transmitter,
it is necessary to register the ID codes. 
The ID codes can be registered on 

 (4.2-inch display) or 

 (7-

inch display) of the multi-information display.

■

Changing the available set of ID codes (vehicles without a tire
inflation pressure display function)
When 2 sets of ID codes are registered, the corresponding ID code
set for the installed wheels can be selected on 

 (4.2-inch display)

or 

 (7-inch display) of the multi-information display. It is not nec-

essary to reregister the ID codes each time the wheels are
changed.
For information regarding changing the registered ID codes for an
ID code set, contact your Toyota dealer.

How to register the ID codes (vehicles with a tire inflation pres-
sure display function)

Select 

 (4.2-inch display) or 

 (7-inch display) on the multi-

information display using the meter control switches on the steer-
ing wheel. (→P. 92, 104)

Select “TPWS” and then press 

.

Select “Change Wheel” then
press and hold 

 until

the tire pressure warning
light blinks slowly 3 times.

Then a message will be dis-

played on the multi-information

display.
When registration is being per-
