First check the following:

●

Is the fuel tank empty?

If it is, fill the fuel tank immediately.

●

Is the fuel tank cap loose?

If it is, tighten it securely.

The light will go off after several

driving trips.

If the light does not go off even after

several trips, contact your Toyota

dealer as soon as possible.

■

Electric power steering system

warning light (warning buzzer)

When the battery charge becomes

insufficient or the voltage temporar-

ily drops, the electric power steering

system warning light may come on

and the warning buzzer may sound.

■

When the tire pressure warning

light comes on

Inspect the tires to check if a tire is

punctured.
If a tire is punctured:



P.329

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

After the temperature of the tires

has lowered sufficiently, check

the inflation pressure of each tire

and adjust them to the specified

level.

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. (

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 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

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.

●

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 deteriorate,

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.)

324

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.

tro



Stop the vehicle in a safe
place on a hard, flat surface.



Set the parking brake.



Shift the shift lever to R.



Stop the engine.



Turn on the emergency flash-
ers. (



P.308)



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 make emer-
gency repair with the repair kit
impossible.

• To avoid sealant leakage,

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

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 using
the emergency tire puncture
repair kit. (The kit contains a
bottle of sealant. The seal-
ant can be used only once
to temporarily repair one
tire without removing the
nail or screw from the tire.)
Depending on the damage,
this kit cannot be used to
repair the tire. (



P.329)

After temporarily repairing
the tire with the kit, have the
tire repaired or replaced by
your Toyota dealer. Repairs
conducted using the emer-
gency tire puncture repair
kit are only a temporary
measure. Have the tire
repaired and replaced as
soon as possible.

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, which

date has already passed. Other-

wise, repairs conducted using the

emergency tire puncture repair kit

may not be performed properly.

■

Emergency tire puncture repair

kit

●

The emergency tire puncture

repair kit is for filling the car tire

with air.

●

The sealant has a limited life

span. The expiry date is marked

on the bottle. The sealant should

be replaced before the expiry

date. Contact your Toyota dealer

for replacement.

●

The sealant stored in the emer-

gency tire puncture repair kit can

be used only once to temporarily

repair a single tire. If the sealant in

the bottle and other parts of the kit

have been used and need to be

replaced, contact your Toyota

dealer.

●

The compressor can be used

repeatedly.

●

The sealant can be used when the

outside temperature is from -40°F

(-40°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 repair kit,

a loud operation noise is pro-

duced. This does not indicate a

malfunction.

●

Do not use to check or to adjust

the tire pressure.

Inflate the tire until the speci-

fied air pressure is reached.

The sealant will be injected
and the pressure will spike to
between 44 psi (300 kPa, 3.0
kgf/cm

or bar) and 58 psi

(400 kPa, 4.0 kgf/cm

or bar),

then gradually decrease.
The air pressure gauge will
display the actual tire inflation
pressure about 1 to 5 min-
utes after the switch is turned
on.

Turn the compressor switch off and

then check the tire inflation pres-

sure. Being careful not to over

inflate, check and repeat the infla-

tion procedure until the specified

tire inflation pressure is reached.
The tire can be inflated for about 5

to 20 minutes (depending on the

outside temperature). If the tire

inflation pressure is still lower than

the specified point after inflation for

25 minutes, the tire is too damaged

to be repaired. Turn the compres-

sor switch off and contact your Toy-

ota dealer.
If the tire inflation pressure exceeds

the specified air pressure, let out

some air to adjust the tire inflation

pressure. (
