If a warning light turns on or a warning buzzer 

sounds

Calmly perform the following actions if any of the warning 
lights comes on or flashes. If a light comes on or flashes, but 
then goes off, this does not necessarily indicate a malfunc-
tion in the system. However, if this continues to occur, have 
the vehicle inspected by your Toyota dealer.

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.467

If none of the tires are punctured:

Turn the power 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

The tire pressure warning light

causes

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).

Conditions that the tire pres-

sure warning system may not

P.419

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

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.

Check and adjust the tire infla-

tion pressure immediately.

If the tire pressure warning light 

comes on even after tire infla-

tion pressure adjustment, it is 

probable that you have a flat 

tire. Have the flat tire replaced 

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

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.)

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 pres-

sure warning light) illuminates, 

you should stop and check your 

tires as soon as possible, and 

inflate them to the proper pres-

sure. Driving on a significantly 

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.

been performed, contact 
your Toyota dealer.

Additionally, if a warning

NOTICE

If “Maintenance Required For 

Traction Battery At Your 

Dealer” is displayed

This message indicates that the 

traction battery may require 

inspection or replacement. Have 

the vehicle inspected by your Toy-

ota dealer immediately.

Do not continue driving the vehi-

cle, as the fuel cell system may 

become not able to be started 

again.

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.468)

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 

could result in an accident.
