If the tire pressure warning light

frequently comes on after blink-

ing for 1 minute

If the tire pressure warning light fre-

quently comes on after blinking for 1

minute when the engine switch is

turned to ON, have it checked by

your Toyota dealer.

■

Warning buzzer

In some cases, the buzzer may not

be heard due to being in a noisy

location or audio sound.

WARNING

■

If both the ABS and the brake

system warning lights remain

Stop your vehicle in a safe place

immediately and contact your Toy-

ota dealer. The vehicle will

become extremely unstable

during braking, and the ABS sys-

tem may fail, which could cause

an accident resulting in death or

serious injury.

■

When the electric power

steering system warning light

comes on

The steering wheel may become

extremely heavy.

When steering wheel operations

are heavier than usual, grip the

steering wheel firmly and operate

it using more force than usual.

■

If the tire pressure warning

light comes on

Be sure to observe the following

precautions. Failure to do so

could cause a loss of vehicle con-

trol and result in death or serious

injury.

●

Stop your vehicle in a safe place

as soon as possible. Adjust the

tire inflation pressure immedi-

ately.

●

If the tire pressure warning light

comes on even after tire infla-

tion pressure adjustment, it is

probable that you have a flat

tire. Check the tires. If a tire is

flat, repair the flat tire by using

emergency tire puncture repair

kit.

●

Avoid abrupt maneuvering and

braking. If the vehicle tires dete-

riorate, you could lose control of

the steering wheel or the

brakes.

■

If a blowout or sudden air

leakage should occur

The tire pressure warning system

may not activate immediately.

■

Maintenance of the tires

Each tire, including the spare (if

provided), should be checked

monthly when cold and inflated to

the inflation pressure recom-

mended by the vehicle manufac-

turer on the vehicle placard or tire

inflation pressure label (tire and

load information label). (If your

vehicle has tires of a different size

than the size indicated on the

vehicle placard or tire inflation

pressure label [tire and load infor-

mation label], you should deter-

mine the proper tire inflation

pressure for those tires.)

356

7-2. Steps to take in an emergency

WARNING

As an added safety feature, your

vehicle has been equipped with a

tire pressure monitoring system

(TPMS-tire pressure warning sys-

tem) that illuminates a low tire

pressure telltale (tire pressure

warning light) when one or more

of your tires is significantly

under-inflated. Accordingly, when

the low tire pressure telltale (tire

pressure warning light) illumi-

nates, you should stop and check

your tires as soon as possible,

and inflate them to the proper

pressure. Driving on a signifi-

cantly under-inflated tire causes

the tire to overheat and can lead

to tire failure. Under-inflation also

reduces fuel efficiency and tire

tread life, and may affect the vehi-

cle’s handling and stopping ability.

Please note that the TPMS (tire

pressure warning system) is not a

substitute for proper tire mainte-

nance, and it is the driver’s

responsibility to maintain correct

tire pressure, even if under-infla-

tion has not reached the level to

trigger illumination of the TPMS

low tire pressure telltale (tire pres-

sure warning light).

Your vehicle has also been

equipped with a TPMS (tire pres-

sure warning system) malfunc-

tion indicator to indicate when the

system is not operating properly.

The TPMS (tire pressure warning

system) malfunction indicator is

combined with the low tire pres-

sure telltale (tire pressure warning

light). When the system detects a

malfunction, the telltale will flash

for approximately one minute and

then remain continuously illumi-

nated. This sequence will con-

tinue upon subsequent vehicle

start-ups as long as the malfunc-

tion exists. When the malfunction

indicator is illuminated, the sys-

tem may not be able to detect or

signal low tire pressure as

intended.

TPMS (tire pressure warning sys-

tem) malfunctions may occur for a

variety of reasons, including the

installation of replacement or

alternate tires or wheels on the

vehicle that prevent the TPMS

(tire pressure warning system)

from functioning properly. Always

check the TPMS (tire pressure

warning system) malfunction tell-

tale after replacing one or more

tires or wheels on your vehicle to

ensure that the replacement or

alternate tires and wheels allow

the TPMS (tire pressure warning

system) to continue to function

properly.

NOTICE

■

To ensure the tire pressure

warning system operates

properly

Do not install tires with different

specifications or makers, as the

tire pressure warning system may

not operate properly.



Check the degree of the tire

damage.

A tire should only be repaired
with the emergency tire punc-
ture repair kit if the damage is
caused by a nail or screw pass-
ing through the tire tread.
• Do not remove the nail or

screw from the tire. Removing
the object may widen the
opening and disenable emer-
gency repair with the kit.

• To avoid sealant leakage,

move the vehicle until the
area of the puncture, if
known, is positioned at the
top of the tire.

■

A flat tire that cannot be

repaired with the emergency

tire puncture repair kit

In the following cases, the tire can-

not be repaired with the emergency

tire puncture repair kit. Contact your

Toyota dealer.

●

When the tire is damaged due to

driving without sufficient air pres-

sure

●

When the tire lost air pressure due

to a crack or damage in the tire

sidewall

●

When the tire is visibly separated

from the wheel

●

When the cut or damage to the

tread is 0.16 in. (4 mm) long or

If you have a flat tire

Your vehicle is not equipped
with a spare tire, but instead
is equipped with an emer-
gency tire puncture repair
kit.
A puncture caused by a nail
or screw passing through
the tire tread can be
repaired temporarily with
the emergency tire puncture
repair kit.

WARNING

■

If you have a flat tire

Do not continue driving with a flat

tire.

Driving even a short distance with

a flat tire can damage the tire and

the wheel beyond repair. Driving

with a flat tire may cause a cir-

cumferential groove on the side

wall. In such a case, the tire may

explode when using the emer-

gency tire puncture repair kit,

resulting in death or serious injury.

gency tire puncture repair kit can

be used only once to temporarily

repair a single tire. If the sealant

has been used and needs to be

purchased, contact your Toyota

dealer. The compressor is reus-

able.

●

The sealant can be used when the

outside temperature is from -22°F

(-30°C) to 140°F (60°C).

●

The kit is exclusively designed for

size and type of tires originally

installed on your vehicle. Do not

use it for tires that a different size

than the original ones, or for any

other purposes.

●

If the sealant gets on your clothes,

it may stain.

●

If the sealant adheres to a wheel

or the surface of the vehicle body,

the stain may not be removable if

it is not cleaned at once. Immedi-

ately wipe away the sealant with a

wet cloth.

●

During operation of the kit, a loud

operation noise is produced. This

does not indicate a malfunction.

●

Do not use the emergency tire

puncture repair kit to check or to

adjust the tire pressure.

●

In extremely low temperatures

-22°F to -4°F (-30°C to -20°C), the

viscosity of the sealant increases

and the sealant will flow more

slowly. In such temperatures,

bring the sealant into the vehicle

to warm it up before use.

■

Note for checking the emer-

gency tire puncture repair kit

Check the sealant expiry date occa-

sionally.

The expiry date is shown on the bot-

tle. Do not use sealant whose expiry

date has already passed. Other-

wise, repairs conducted using the

emergency tire puncture repair kit

may not be performed properly.

WARNING

■

Caution while driving

●

Store the repair kit in the trunk.

Injuries may result in the event

of an accident or sudden brak-

ing.

●

The repair kit is exclusively only

for your vehicle.

Do not use repair kit on other

vehicles, which could lead to an

accident causing death or seri-

ous injury.

●

Do not use repair kit for tires

that are different size than the

original ones, or for any other

purpose. If the tires have not

been completely repaired, it

could lead to an accident caus-

ing death or serious injury.

■

Precautions for use of the

sealant

●

Ingesting the sealant is hazard-

ous to your health. If you ingest

sealant, consume as much

water as possible, then immedi-

ately consult a doctor.

●

If sealant gets in eyes or

adheres to skin, immediately

wash it off with water. If discom-

fort persists, consult a doctor.

●

If a person who is allergic to nat-

ural rubber comes in contact the

sealant, allergy symptoms may

occur.

cle over in a safe place and
reconnect the compressor.

Turn the compressor switch

on and wait for several sec-
onds, then turn it off. Check
the tire inflation pressure.

If the air pressure is in red

zone of the air gauge, the kit
did not successfully seal the
puncture. In this case, please
stop driving and contact your
Toyota dealer.

Taking precautions to avoid

sudden braking, sudden

acceleration and sharp turns,
drive carefully at under 50
mph (80 km/h) to the nearest

away for tire repair or
replacement.

■

After a tire is repaired with the

emergency tire puncture repair

kit

●

The tire pressure warning valve

and transmitter should be

replaced.

●

Even if the tire inflation pressure is

at the recommended level, the tire

pressure warning light may come

on/flash.

WARNING

■

Do not drive the vehicle with

a flat tire

Do not continue driving with a flat

tire.

Driving even a short distance with

a flat tire can damage the tire and

the wheel beyond repair. Driving

with a flat tire may cause a cir-

cumferential groove on the side

wall. In such a case, the tire may

explode when using a repair kit.

■

When fixing the flat tire

●

Stop your vehicle in a safe and

flat area.

●

Do not touch the wheels or the

area around the brakes immedi-

ately after the vehicle has been

areas with hands, feet or other

body parts may result in burns.

366

7-2. Steps to take in an emergency

WARNING

●

Connect the valve and hose

securely with the tire installed

on the vehicle.

●

If the hose is not properly con-

nected to the valve, air leakage

may occur or sealant may be

sprayed out.

●

If the hose comes off the valve

while inflating the tire, there is a

risk that the hose will move

abruptly due to air pressure.

●

After inflation of the tire has

completed, the sealant may

splatter when the hose is dis-

connected or some air is let out

of the tire.

●

Follow the operation procedure

to repair the tire. If the proce-

dure is not followed, the sealant

may spray out.

●

Keep back from the tire while it

is being repaired, as there is a

chance of it bursting while the

repair operation is being per-

formed. If you notice any cracks

or deformation of the tire, turn

off the compressor switch and

stop the repair operation imme-

diately.

●

The kit may overheat if operated

for a long period of time. Do not

operate the compressor contin-

uously for more than 10 min-

utes.

●

Parts of the kit become hot

during operation. Be careful

handling the kit during and after

operation. Do not touch the

metal part around the connect-

ing area between the bottle and

compressor. It will be extremely

hot.

●

Do not attach the vehicle speed

warning sticker to an area other

than the one indicated. If the

sticker is attached to an area

where an SRS airbag is located,

such as the pad of the steering

wheel, it may prevent the SRS

airbag from operating properly.

■

Driving to spread the liquid

sealant evenly

Observe the following precautions

to reduce the risk of accidents.

Failing to do so may result in a

loss of vehicle control and cause

death or serious injury.

●

Drive the vehicle carefully at a

low speed. Be especially careful

when turning and cornering.

●

If the vehicle does not drive

straight or you feel a pull

through the steering wheel, stop

the vehicle and check the tire.

The tire may have separated

from the wheel.

NOTICE

■

When performing an emer-

gency repair

●

Perform the emergency repair

without removing the nail or

screw that has punctured the

tread of the tire. If the object

that has punctured the tire is

removed, repair by the emer-

gency tire puncture repair kit

may not be possible.

●

The kit is not waterproof. Make

sure that the kit is not exposed

to water, such as when it is

being used in the rain.

●

Do not put the kit directly onto

dusty ground such as sand at

the side of the road. If the kit

vacuums up dust etc., a mal-

function may occur.
