: Driver’s seat belt warning buzzer:

The driver’s seat belt warning buzzer sounds to alert the driver that his or 
her seat belt is not fastened. Once the engine switch is turned to ON, the 
buzzer sounds. If the seat belt is still unfastened, the buzzer sounds inter-
mittently for a certain period of time after the vehicle reaches a certain 
speed.
Front passenger’s seat belt warning buzzer:
The front passenger’s seat belt warning buzzer sounds to alert the front 
passenger that his or her seat belt is not fastened. If the seat belt is unfas-
tened, the buzzer sounds intermittently for a certain period of time after the 
vehicle reaches a certain speed.

If luggage is placed on the front

not operate properly.

Operation of rear passengers’ 

seat belt reminder lights

The rear passengers’ seat belt 

reminder lights will illuminate for 

approximately 60 seconds after 

either rear door has been opened 

and closed.

If any rear seat belt is fastened 

and then unfastened, the corre-

system warning light may come on 

and the warning buzzer may sound.

When the tire pressure warning 

light comes on (vehicles with a 

tire pressure warning system)

Inspect the tires to check if a tire is 

punctured.
If a tire is punctured: 

P.370

If none of the tires are punctured:

Turn the engine switch off then turn 

it to ON. Check if the tire pressure 

warning light comes on or blinks.

If the tire pressure warning light 

blinks for approximately 1 minute 

then stays on

There may be a malfunction in the 

tire pressure warning system. Have 

the vehicle inspected by your Toyota 

dealer immediately.

If the tire pressure warning light 

comes on

1

After the temperature of the tires 

has lowered sufficiently, check 

the inflation pressure of each tire 

and adjust them to the specified 

level.

2

If the warning light does not turn 

off even after several minutes 

have elapsed, check that the 

inflation pressure of each tire is 

at the specified level and perform 

initialization. (

P.318)

The tire pressure warning light 

may come on due to natural 

causes (vehicles with a tire 

pressure warning system)

The tire pressure warning light may 

come on due to natural causes such 

as natural air leaks and tire inflation 

pressure changes caused by tem-

perature. In this case, adjusting the 

tire inflation pressure will turn off the 

warning light (after a few minutes).

When a tire is replaced with a 

spare tire (vehicles with a tire 

pressure warning system)

The compact spare tire is not 

equipped with a tire pressure warn-

ing valve and transmitter. If a tire 

goes flat, the tire pressure warning 

light will not turn off even though the 

flat tire has been replaced with the 

spare tire. Replace the spare tire 

with the repaired tire and adjust the 

tire inflation pressure. The tire pres-

sure warning light will go off after a 

few minutes.

Conditions that the tire pres-

sure warning system may not 

function properly (vehicles with 

a tire pressure warning system)

P.315

WARNING

If both the ABS and the brake 

system warning lights remain 

on

Stop your vehicle in a safe place 

immediately and contact your Toy-

ota dealer.

The vehicle will become 

extremely unstable during brak-

ing, and the ABS system may fail, 

which could cause an accident 

resulting in death or serious injury.

When the electric power 

steering system warning light 

comes on

When the light comes on yellow, 

the assist to the power steering is 

restricted. When the light comes 

on red, the assist to the power 

steering is lost and handling oper-

ations of the steering wheel 

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 (vehicles with 

a tire pressure warning sys-

tem)

Be sure to observe the following 

precautions.

Failure to do so could cause a 

loss of vehicle control and result 

in death or serious injury.

WARNING

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, change it with the spare tire 

and have the flat tire repaired by 

the nearest Toyota dealer.

Avoid abrupt maneuvering and 

braking.

If the vehicle tires deteriorate, 

you could lose control of the 

steering wheel or the brakes.

If a blowout or sudden air 

leakage should occur (vehi-

cles with a tire pressure warn-

ing system)

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.)

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.

Warning messages

The warning messages explained 

below may differ from the actual 

messages according to operation 

conditions and vehicle specifica-

tions.

Warning buzzer

A buzzer may sound when a mes-

sage is displayed. 

The buzzer may not be audible if the 

vehicle is in a noisy location or if the 

audio system volume is high.

If “Engine Oil Level Low Add or

The engine oil level is low. Check 

WARNING

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 (vehicles with a tire 

pressure warning system)

Do not install tires with different 

specifications or makers, as the 

tire pressure warning system may 

not operate properly.

If a warning message 

is displayed

The multi-information dis-
play shows warnings for 
system malfunctions and 
incorrectly performed oper-
ations, and messages that 
indicate a need for mainte-
nance. When a message is 
displayed, perform the 
appropriate corrective 
action for the message.

If a warning message is dis-
played again after the 
appropriate actions have 
been performed, contact 
your Toyota dealer.

Additionally, if a warning 
light comes on or flashes at 
the same time that a warn-
ing message is displayed, 
take the appropriate correc-
tive action for the warning 
light. (
