Maintenance and care
Check the battery as follows:
■Battery exterior
Make sure that the battery terminals are not corroded and that
there are no loose connections, cracks, or loose clamps.
Terminals
Hold-down clamp
■Before recharging
When recharging, the battery produces hydrogen gas which is flammable and
explosive. Therefore, observe the following before recharging:
●If recharging with the battery installed on the vehicle, be sure to disconnect
the ground cable.
●Make sure the power switch on the charger is off when connecting and dis-
connecting the charger cables to the battery.
■After recharging/reconnecting the battery (vehicles with a smart key sys-
tem)
The engine may not start. Follow the procedure below to initialize the system.
Shift the shift lever to P.
Open and close any of the doors.
Restart the engine.
●Unlocking the doors using the smart key system may not be possible imme-
diately after reconnecting the battery. If this happens, use the wireless
remote control or the mechanical key to lock/unlock the doors.
●Start the engine with the engine switch in ACCESSORY mode. The engine
may not start when the engine switch turned from off. However, the engine
will operate normally from the second attempt.
●The engine switch mode is recorded by the vehicle. If the battery is recon-
nected, the vehicle will return the engine switch mode to the status it was in
before the battery was disconnected. Make sure to turn off the engine
before disconnect the battery. Take extra care when connecting the battery
if the engine switch mode prior to discharge is unknown.
If the system will not start even after multiple attempts, contact your Toyota
dealer.

■How to initialize the tire pressure warning system
Vehicles without a smart key system:
Park the vehicle in a safe place and turn the engine switch to the
“LOCK” position.
Vehicles with a smart key system:
Park the vehicle in a safe place and turn the engine switch off.
Initialization cannot be performed while the vehicle is moving.
Adjust the tire inflation pressure to the specified cold tire inflation
pressure level. (P. 577)
Make sure to adjust the tire pressure to the specified cold tire infla-
tion pressure level. The tire pressure warning system will operate
based on this pressure level.
Vehicles without a smart key system:
Turn the engine switch to the “ON” position.
Vehicles with a smart key system:
Turn the engine switch to IGNITION ON mode.
Press and hold the tire pres-
sure warning reset switch
until the tire pressure warn-
ing light blinks slowly 3 times.
Vehicles with a multi-information
display: “- -” will be displayed for
inflation pressure of each tire on
the multi-information display
while the tire pressure warning
system determines the position
of each tire.
When position of each tire is
determined, the inflation pres-
sure of each tire will be dis-
played on the multi-information
display.

Maintenance and care
Vehicles without a multi-information display
Vehicles without a smart key system:
Wait for a few minutes with the engine switch in the “ON” position
and then turn the engine switch to the “LOCK” position.
Vehicles with a smart key system:
Wait for a few minutes with the engine switch in IGNITION ON
mode and then turn the engine switch off.
Vehicles with a multi-information display
Drive the vehicle at approximately 25 mph (40 km/h) or more for
approximately 10 minutes.
When initialization is complete, the inflation pressure of each tire
will be displayed on the multi-information display.
Initialization will take longer than approximately 10 minutes if the
vehicle is stopped for a long time, such as at traffic signals.
◆Registering ID codes
The tire pressure warning valve and transmitter is equipped with a
unique ID code. When replacing a tire pressure warning valve and
transmitter, it is necessary to register the ID code. Have the ID code
registered by your Toyota dealer.

Maintenance and care
■The initialization operation (vehicles with the tire pressure warning
system)
●Make sure to carry out initialization after adjusting the tire inflation pres-
sure.
Also, make sure the tires are cold before carrying out initialization or tire
inflation pressure adjustment.
●If you have accidentally turned the engine switch to the “LOCK” position
(vehicles without a smart key system) or off (vehicles with a smart key
system) during initialization, it is not necessary to press the reset switch
again as initialization will restart automatically when the engine switch
has been turned to the “ON” position (vehicles without a smart key sys-
tem) or IGNITION ON mode (vehicles with a smart key system) for the
next time.
●If you accidentally press the reset switch when initialization is not neces-
sary, adjust the tire inflation pressure to the specified level when the
tires are cold, and conduct initialization again.
■Warning performance of the tire pressure warning system (vehicles
with a multi-information display)
The warning of the tire pressure warning system will change in accor-
dance with the conditions under which it was initialized. For this reason,
the system may give a warning even if the tire pressure does not reach a
low enough level, or if the pressure is higher than the pressure that was
adjusted to when the system was initialized.
■When initialization of the tire pressure warning system has failed (if
equipped)
Initialization may take longer to complete if the vehicle is driven on an
unpaved road. When performing initialization, drive on a paved road if
possible. Depending on the driving environment and condition of the tires,
initialization will be completed in approximately 10 minutes. If initialization
is not complete after driving approximately 10 minutes, continue driving
for a while.
If the inflation pressure of each tire is not displayed after driving for
approximately 1 hour, perform the following procedure.
●Park the vehicle in a safe place for approximately 20 minutes. Then
drive straight (with occasional left and right turns) at approximately
25mph (40 km/h) or more for approximately 10 to 20 minutes.
However, in the following situations, the tire inflation pressure will not be
recorded and the system will not operate properly. Perform initialization
again.
●When operating the tire pressure warning reset switch, the tire pressure
warning light does not blink 3 times.
●After performing initialization, the tire pressure warning light blinks for 1
minute then stays on while driving.
If the inflation pressure of each tire is still not displayed, have the vehicle
inspected by your Toyota dealer.
