2667-2. Steps to take in an emergency
Scion iM_U (12J49U)n
When the tire pressure warning light comes on
Inspect the tires to check if a tire is punctured.
If a tire is punctured:
P. 272
If none of the tire s are punctured:
Turn the engine switch off then turn it to the “ON” position. Check if the
tire pressure warning light comes on or flashes.
If the tire pressure warning light comes on
After the temperature of the tires has lowered sufficiently, check the
inflation pressure of each tire and adjust them to the specified level.
If the warning light does not turn off even after several minutes have
elapsed, check that the inflation pressu re of each tire is at the specified
level and perform initialization. (P. 222)
If the warning light does not turn off even after several minutes have
elapsed, have the vehicle inspected by your Scion dealer immediately.
If the tire pressure warning light flashes for 1 minute then stays on
There may be a malfunction in the tire pressure warning system. Have
the vehicle inspected by your Scion dealer immediately.
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 and tire inflation pressure changes caused by temper-
ature. In this case, adjusting the ti re inflation pressure will turn off the
warning light (after a few minutes).
nWhen a tire is replaced with a spare tire
The compact spare tire is not equipped with a tire pressure warning valve
and transmitter. If a tire goes flat, the tire pressure warning light will not
turn off even though the flat tire has been replaced with the spare tire.

pressure. The tire pressu re warning light will go off after a few minutes.

properly
P. 2 2 5
nWarning buzzer
In some cases, the buzzer may not be heard because of noisy place or an
