STEP4
System reset initialization
1. Push and hold “
SET” button until
the indicator blinks three times.
2. Wait a few minutes to allow
initialization to complete.
After adjusting tire pressures, or after tires have been rotated or replaced,
turn the “POWER”/ignition switch “ON” and press and hold the “
SET” button
until indicator blinks three times. Let the vehicle sit for a few minutes to allow
initialization to complete.
Refer to the load label on the door jamb or the Owner’s Manual for tire inflation
specifications.
If the tire pressure indicator flashes for more than 60 seconds and then remains
on, take the vehicle to your local Toyota dealer.
NOTE: The warning light may come on due to temperature changes or changes
in tire pressure from natural air leakage. If the system has not been initialized
recently, setting the tire pressures to factory specifications should turn off the
light. NOTE: If a passenger’s seat belt is fully extended, then retracted even slightly,
the Automatic locking retractor (ALR) will prevent it from being re-extended
beyond that point, unless fully retracted again. This feature is used to help hold
child restraint systems securely.
To find more information about seat belts, and how to install a child restraint
system, refer to the Owner’s Manual.
