 Condensation buildup on the inside of the lens
Contact your Toyota dealer for more information in the following situations.
Temporary condensation build−up on the inside of the headlight lens does
not indicate a malfunction.
 Large drops of water are built up on the inside of the lens.
Water has built up inside the headlight.
LED high mounted stoplight
The high mounted stoplight consists of a number of LEDs. If any of the LEDs
burn out, take your vehicle to your Toyota dealer to have the light replaced.
CAUTION
 Replacing light bulbs
 Turn off the headlights. Do not attempt to replace the bulb immediately
after turning off the headlights.
The bulbs become very hot and may cause burns.
 Do not touch the glass portion of the light bulb with bare hands. Hold the
bulb by the plastic or metal portion.
If the bulb is scratched or dropped it may blow out or crack.
 Fully install light bulbs and any parts used to secure them. Failing to do so
may result in heat damage, fire, or water entering the headlight unit. This
may damage the headlights or cause condensation to build up on the lens.
 To prevent damage or fire
Make sure bulbs are fully seated and locked.

When trouble arises
337 5−2. Steps to take in an emergency
If the tire pressure warning system is inoperative
The tire pressure warning system may become inoperative in the follow−
ing conditions:
(When the condition be
comes normal, the system will work properly.)
If tires not equipped with tire pressure warning valves and transmit−
ters are used.
If the ID code on the tire pressure warning valves and transmitters is
not registered in the tire pressure warning computer.
If electronic devices or facilities us ing similar radio wave frequencies
are nearby.
If a radio set at similar frequencies is in use in the vehicle.
If a window tint that affects the radio wave signals is installed.
If there is a lot of snow or ice on the vehicle, in particular around the
wheels or wheel housings.
If non−genuine Toyota wheels are used.
If tire chains are used.
If the spare tire is in a location subject to poor radio wave signal
reception.
If the tire inflation pressure is more than 73 psi (500 kPa, 5.1 kgf/cm2
or bar) or higher.
If the tire pressure warning light comes on after blinking for 1
minute frequently
If the tire pressure warning light comes on after blinking for 1 minute fre−
quently when the engine switch is
turned to the ON position, have it
checked by your Toyota dealer.
 After changing the engine oil (U.S.A. only)
Make sure to reset the oil maintenance data. ( P. 278)

338 5−2. Steps to take in an emergency
CAUTION
Maintenance of the tire
Each tire, including the spare (if provided), should be checked monthly
when cold and inflated to the inflation pressure recommended by the
vehicle manufacturer on the vehicle
placard or tire inflation pressure
label (tire and load information label). (If your vehicle has tires of a differ−
ent size than the size indicated on the vehicle placard or tire inflation
pressure label [tire and load information label], you should determine the
proper tire inflation pr
essure for those tires.)
As an added safety feature, your
vehicle has been equipped with a tire
pressure monitoring system (TPMS−ti re pressure warning system) that
illuminates a low tire pressure telltal e (tire pressure warning light) when
one or more of your tires is significantly under−inflated. Accordingly,
when the low tire pressu
re 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 significantly under−
inflated tire causes the tire to overheat and can lead to tire failure.
Under−inflation also reduces fuel effi
ciency and tire tread life, and may
affect the vehicle’s handling and stopping ability.
Please note that the TPMS (tire pressure warning system) is not a sub−
stitute for proper tire main tenance, and it is the driver ’s responsibility to
maintain correct tire pressure, even if under−inflation has not reached the
level to trigger illu
mination of the TPMS low ti re pressure telltale (tire
pressure warning light).
Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS (tire pressure warning
system) malfunction indicator to indi cate when the system is not operat−
ing properly. The TPMS (tire pressure warning system) malfunction indi−
cator is combined with the low tire pressure telltale (tire pressure
warning light). When the system det
ects a malfunction, the telltale will
flash for approximately one minute an d then remain continuously illumi−
nated. This sequence will
continue upon subsequent vehicle start−ups as
long as the malfunction exists. When the malfunction indi cator is illumi−
nated, the system may not be able to detect or signal low tire pressure
as intended.
