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.523

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.482)

The tire pressure warning light 

may come on due to natural 

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 

function properly

P.481

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.

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 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 

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. 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.

Whe

ouble

 a

rises

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.)

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).

WARNING

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.

Raise the vehicle until the tire 
is slightly raised off the 
ground.

When positioning the jack under 

the rear axle housing, make sure 

the groove on the top of the jack fits 

with the rear axle housing.

Remove all the wheel nuts 
and the tire.

When resting the tire on the 

ground, place the tire so that the 

wheel design faces up to avoid 

scratching the wheel surface.

WARNING

Replacing a flat tire

Observe the following precau-

tions.

Failure to do so may result in seri-

ous injury:

• Lower the spare tire completely 

to the ground before removing it 

from under the vehicle.

• Do not try to remove the wheel 

ornament by hand. Take due 

care in handling the ornament to 

avoid unexpected personal 

injury.

• Do not touch the disc wheels or 

the area around the brakes 

immediately after the vehicle 

has been driven.

After the vehicle has been driven 

the disc wheels and the area 

around the brakes will be 

extremely hot. Touching these 

areas with hands, feet or other 

body parts while changing a tire, 

etc., may result in burns.

Failure to follow these precau-

tions could cause the wheel 

nuts to loosen and the tire to fall 

off, resulting in death or serious 

injury.

• Have the wheel nuts tightened 

with a torque wrench as soon as 

possible after changing wheels.

Steel wheel: 154 ft•lbf (209 N•m, 

21.3 kgf•m)

Aluminum wheel: 97 ft•lbf (131 

N•m, 13.4 kgf•m)

• When installing a tire, only use 

wheel nuts that have been spe-

cifically designed for that wheel.

• Retighten the wheel nuts within 

100 miles (160 km) of driving.

• If there are any cracks or defor-

mations in the bolt screws, nut 

threads or bolt holes of the 

wheel, have the vehicle 

inspected by your Toyota 

dealer.

• Do not attach a heavily dam-

aged wheel ornament, as it may 

fly off the wheel while the vehi-

cle is moving.

• When installing the wheel nuts, 

be sure to install them with the 

tapered ends facing inward.
