WARNING

⬛

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 han-

dling operations of the steering wheel become extremely heavy. When steer-

ing 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 system)

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 immediately.

⚫

If the tire pressure warning light comes on even after tire inflation 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 near-

est 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 (vehicles with a tire
pressure warning system)

The tire pressure warning system may not activate immediately.

NOTICE

⬛

To ensure the tire pressure warning system

✽

operates properly

Do not install tires with different specifications or makers, as the tire pressure
