CAUTION
■If the tire pressure warning light comes on
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.
●Stop your vehicle in a safe place as soon as possible. Adjust the tire
inflation pressure immediately.
●If the tire pressure warning light comes on even after tire inflation pres-
sure adjustment, it is pr obable that you have a flat tire. Check the tires.
If a tire is flat, change it with th e 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
The tire pressure warning syste m 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 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.)

Warning messageDetailsCorrection
procedure
Alerts the driver that the vehi-
cle is out of the lanes (while
the LKA [Lane-Keeping Assist]
system is operating). The warning buzzer sounds
continuously. The lane mark-
ings and/or the steering
wheel marking flash.
At the same time,
will appear on the
head-up display (the image

markings.
Indicates that the LKA (Lane-
Keeping Assist) system
detects nohanded driving

heated. This message may be dis-
played when driving under
severe operating conditions,
and the output of the hybrid
system may temporarily
decrease in order to protect
the system. (For example,
when driving up a long steep
hill or driving up a steep hill in
reverse.) Stop and check.
