If the Tire Pressure Warning indicator “” illuminates without blinking, adjust
tire pressures to factory-specified levels.* The light will turn off after a few
minutes. The warning light is designed to turn on when tire pressure is critically
low, but it may also come on due to temperature changes or changes in tire
pressure from natural air leakage.
If the tire pressure indicator flashes for more than 60 seconds and then remains
on, take the vehicle to your local Toyota dealer.
Refer to the Owner’s Manual for more details.
* Refer to load label on door jamb or the Owner’s Manual for tire inflation specifications.
