WARNING
Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS (tire pressure warn-
ing system) malfunction indicator to indicate when the system is not
operating properly. The TPMS (tire pressure warning system) malfunc-
tion indicator is combined with the lo w tire pressure telltale (tire pressure
warning light). When the system dete cts a malfunction, the telltale will
flash for approximately one minute and then remain continuously illumi-
nated. This sequence will continue up on subsequent vehicle start-ups
as long as the malfunction exists. When the malfunction indicator is illu-
minated, the system may not be able to detect or signal low tire pres-
sure as intended.
TPMS (tire pressure warning system) malfunctions may occur for a vari-
ety of reasons, including the installati on of replacement or alternate tires
or wheels on the vehicle that prevent the TPMS (tire pressure warning
system) from functioning properly. Always check the TPMS (tire pres-
sure warning system) malfunction te lltale after replacing one or more
tires or wheels on your vehicle to ensure that the replacement or alter-
nate tires and wheels allow the TPMS (tire pressure warning system) to
continue to function properly.
NOTICE
■To ensure the tire pressure warning system operates properly
(vehicles with a tire pr essure warning system)
Do not install tires with different sp ecifications or makers, as the tire
pressure warning system may not operate properly.

• Do not try to remove the wheel ornament by hand. Take due care in handling the ornament to avoi d unexpected personal injury.
• Do not touch the disc wheels or the area around the brakes immedi- ately after the vehicle has been driven.

(103 N·m, 10.5 kgf·m) as soon as possible after changing wheels.
• When installing a tire, only use wh eel nuts that have been specifi-
cally designed for that wheel.
• If there are any cracks or deforma tions in the bolt screws, nut threads
or bolt holes of the wheel, have the vehicle inspected by your Toyota
