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.364

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. (



P.313)

■

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.309

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 (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.

359

7-2. Steps to take in an emergency

Whe

ises

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.

7-2. Steps to take in an emergency

Remove any dirt or foreign

matter from the wheel con-

tact surface.

If foreign matter is on the wheel

contact surface, the wheel nuts

may loosen while the vehicle is in

motion, causing the tire to come off.

Install the tire and loosely

tighten each wheel nut by

hand by approximately the

same amount.

When replacing a steel wheel with

a steel wheel (including a compact

spare tire), tighten the wheel nuts

until the tapered portion comes

into loose contact with the disc

wheel seat .

WARNING

●

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.

• Never use oil or grease on the

wheel bolts or wheel nuts.Oil

and grease may cause the

wheel nuts to be excessively

tightened, leading to bolt or disc

wheel damage. Remove any oil

or grease that has adhered

when installing the wheel nuts.

• After replacing a tire, check the

tightening torque as soon as

possible.

Wheel nut torque: 76 ft•lbf (103

N•m, 10.5 kgf•m)

• Do not attach a heavily dam-

aged wheel ornament, as it may

fly off the wheel while the vehi-

cle is moving.

• When installing a tire, only use

wheel nuts that have been spe-

cifically designed for that wheel.

• 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.

Charging the battery

The electricity stored in the battery
will discharge gradually even when
the vehicle is not in use, due to nat-
ural discharge and the draining
effects of certain electrical appli-
ances. If the vehicle is left for a long
time, the battery may discharge,
and the engine may be unable to
start. (The battery recharges auto-
matically during driving.)
