Vehicles without smart key system: Turn the engine switch to
the “ACC” or “LOCK” position.

NOTICE
■Before starting the engine
Inspect the ground under the vehicle.
If you find that fuel has leaked on to the ground, the fuel system has been
damaged and is in need of repair. Do not restart the engine.
To minimize the risk of fuel leakage when the engine stalls or an air-
bag inflates upon collision, the fuel pump shut off system stops sup-
plying fuel to the engine.

■If the tire pressure warning light continues to comes on after blink-
ing for 1 minute frequently
Vehicles with smart key system
If the tire pressure warning light comes on after blinking for 1 minute when
the “ENGINE START STOP” switch is turned to IGNITION ON mode, have it
checked by your Toyota dealer.
Vehicles without smart key system
If the tire pressure warning light comes on after blinking for 1 minute when
the engine switch is turned to the “ON” position, have it checked by your
Toyota dealer.
■
When 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.
■The tire pressure warning light may turn on due to natural causes
The tire pressure warning light may turn on due to natural causes such
as natural air leaks or tire inflation pressure changes caused by temper-
ature. In this case, adjusting the tire inflation pressure will turn off the
light (after a few minutes).
■When 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 light 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 tire pressure warning light will turn off
after a few minutes.
