CAUTION

Do not rely excessively on the ve-
hicle stability control system. Even
if the vehicle stability control sys-
tem is operating, you must always
drive carefully and attentively to
avoid serious injury. Reckless driv-
ing will result in an unexpected ac-
cident. If the slip indicator light
blinks, sounding an alarm sounds,
special care should be taken while
driving.

Only use tires of specified size. The
size, manufacturer, brand and tread
pattern for all 4 tires should be the
same. If you use the tires other
than specified, or different type or
size, the vehicle stability control
system may not function correctly.
When replacing the tires or wheels,
contact your Toyota dealer. (See
ªChecking and replacing tiresº on
page 432 in Section 7±2.)If the vehicle is going to skid during driv-
ing, the slip indicator light blinks and an
alarm sounds intermittently. Special care
should be taken while driving.
The slip indicator light comes on for a few
seconds when the ignition key is turned
to ªONº. If the indicator light does not
come on when the ignition is turned on,
contact your Toyota dealer.Four±wheel drive models onlyÐ

LOW TIRE PRESSURE WARNING LIGHT
This light comes on when the ignition key
is turned to the ªONº position. It goes off
after a few seconds. This indicates that
the tire pressure warning system is func-
tioning properly.If the low tire pressure warning light
comes on or blinks, do the following.
If the warning light comes on:
Stop your vehicle in a safe place as
soon as possible and check that the
inflation pressure of all tires (including
the spare tire) is as specified on the
tire and loading information label. (See
ªChecking tire inflation pressureº on
page 429 in Section 7±2.) If the warning
light comes on even after tire inflation
pressure adjustment, you may have a
flat tire. If you have a flat tire, replace
it with the spare tire. For details, see
ªIf you have a flat tireº on page 387 in
Section 4.
The warning light goes off a few minutes
after air is put into the deflated tire.
This warning light may turn on due to
natural causes such as natural air leaks
or tire pressure changes caused by tem-
perature. In this case, adjusting the tire
pressure will turn off the warning light.
CAUTION
When the tire pressure warning light
comes on, observe the following in-
structions:

Depending on the conditions, re-
duce to an appropriate speed as
soon as possible.

Adjust the tire pressure to the spe-
cified level as soon as possible.

Avoid abrupt steering wheel maneu-
vering and braking. Tire deteriora-
tion may reduce steering wheel con-
trol and brake effectiveness. This
may lead to serious injury or death.

The tire pressure warning system
may not activate immediately if sud-
den bursts of air leakage occur.

TIRE PRESSURE WARNING SYSTEM
RESET SWITCH
The tire pressure warning system need
to be initialized in the following condi-
tions:

After replacing or rotating tires or
wheels

After replacing an air pressure sen-
sor.
When initializing the system, the pres-
ent tire condition is stored as a stan-
dard.To initialize the system, perform the fol-
lowing:
1. Park the vehicle at a safe place and
apply the parking brake. Stop the en-
gine.
2. Adjust the pressure of all the installed
tires to the specified level. (See ªTiresº
on page 458 in Section 8.)
3. Turn the ignition key to ªONº.
4. Push and hold the reset switch until
the low tire pressure warning light
blinks three times.
Initialization is completed or over for more
than 20 minutes.
When initializing the system, make sure
the low tire pressure warning light blinks
three times. If the warning light does not
blink three times, initialization will fail and
the tire pressure warning system will not
function properly. In this case, initialize
the system again.
Do not push the reset switch without ad-
justing the tire inflation pressure to the
specified level. Otherwise, the low tire
pressure warning light may not come on
even if the tire pressure is low, or it may
come on when the tire inflation pressure
is actually normal.
If you push the reset switch while the
vehicle is moving, initialization is not per-
formed.
