Maintenance and care
nInitializing the tire pressure warning system
Initialize the tires with the tire inflat
ion pressure adjusted to the specified
level.
nIf you press the tire pressure reset switch accidentally
If initialization is performed, adjust t
he tire inflation pressure to the speci−
fied level and initialize the tire pressure warning system again.
nWhen the initialization of the tire pressure warning system has
failed
Initialization can be comp leted in a few minutes. However, in the follow−
ing cases, the settings have not b
een recorded and the system will not
operate properly. If repeated attempts to record tire inflation pressure
settings are unsuccessful, have the vehicle inspected by your Toyota
dealer.
lWhen operating the tire pressure warning reset switch, the warning
light does not flash 3 times and t
he setting message does not appear
on the multi−information display.
lAfter carrying out the initialization procedure, the tire pressure warn−
ing light blinks for 1 minute then stays on after driving for about 20
minutes.

Do not press the tire pressure warning reset switch without first adjusting
the tire inflation pressure to the spec
ified level. Otherwise, the tire pres−
sure warning light may not come on ev en if the tire inflation pressure is
low, or it may come on when the tire

NOTICE
n Repairing or replacing tires, wheels and tire pressure warning
valves and transmitters
When removing or fitting the wheels, tires or the tire pressure warning
valve and transmitter, contact your Toyota dealer as the tire pressure
warning valve and transmitter may be damaged if not handled correctly.

When trouble arises
455 5−2. Steps to take in an emergency
nWhen the tire pressure warning light comes on
Check the tire inflation pressure and adjust to the appropriate level.
Pushing the tire pressure warning reset switch does not turn off the tire
pressure warning light.
nThe 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 or tire inflation pressure changes caused by temper−
ature. In this case, adjusting the ti
re inflation pressu re will turn off the
warning light (after a few minutes).
nWhen a tire is replaced with a spare tire
The spare tire is also equipped with the tire pressure warning valve and
transmitter. The tire pressure warning li ght will turn on if the tire inflation
pressure of the spare tire is low. If a tire goes flat, even though the flat
tire is replaced with the spare tire, the tire pressure warning light does
not turn off. Replace the spare tire with the repaired tire and adjust the
proper tire inflation pressure. The ti
re pressure warning light will turn off
after a few minutes.
