Effects of incorrect tire inflation pressure
Driving with incorrect ti re inflation pressure ma y result in the following:●
Reduced fuel economy●
Reduced driving comfort and poor handling●
Reduced tire life due to wear●
Reduced safety●
Damage to the drive train
If a tire needs frequent re filling, have it checked by your Toyota dealer.■
Instructions for checking tire inflation pressure
When checking tire inflation pressure, observe the following: ●
Check only when the tires are cold.
If your vehicle has been parked for at least 3 hours or has not been
driven for more than 1 mile or 1.5 km, you will get an accurate cold
tire inflation pressure reading.●
Always use a tire pressure gauge.
It is difficult to judge if a tire is properly inflated based only on its
appearance.●
It is normal for the tire inflation pressure to be higher after driving as
heat is generated in the tire. Do not reduce tire inflation pressure after
driving.●
Never exceed the vehicle capacity weight.
Passengers and luggage weight should be placed so that the vehicle
is balanced.

VENZA_OM_OM73030U_(U) ■ If the malfunction indicator lamp comes on while driving
First check the following:
● Is the fuel empty?
If it is, fill the fuel tank immediately.
● Is the fuel tank cap loose?
If it is, tighten it securely.
The malfunction indicator lamp will go off after taking several driving trips.
If the malfunction indicator lamp does not go off even after several trips, con-
tact your Toyota dealer as soon as possible.

The buzzer indicates that the key has not been removed with the engine off
and the driver’s door opened.

and the driver’s door opened.
■ Front passenger detect ion sensor and passenger seat belt reminder
● If luggage is placed on the front passenger seat, the front passenger
detection sensor may cause the warning light to flash, even if a passen-
ger is not sitting in the seat.
● If a cushion is placed on the seat, the sensor may not detect a passen-
ger, and the warning light may not operate properly.

drops, the electric power steering system warning light may come on.
