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 with the engine switch turned 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 engine will not start even after multiple attempts at both methods, con-
tact your Toyota dealer.

■How to initialize the tire pressure warning systemPark the vehicle in safe plac e and turn the engine switch off.
Initialization cannot be performed while the vehicle is moved.
Adjust the tire inflation pressure to the specified cold tire inflation
pressure level. ( →P. 558)
Make sure to adjust the tire pressu re to the specified cold tire infla-
tion pressure level. The tire pressure warning system will operate
based on this pressure level.
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.
“--” will be displayed for inflation pressure of each tire on the multi-
information display while the tire pressure warning system deter-
mines the position on the multi-information display.
When position of each tire is determined, the inflation pressure of
each tire will be displayed on the multi-information display.
Drive the vehicle at approximatel y 25mph (40 km/h) or more for
approximately 10 to 30 minutes.
When initialization is co mplete, the inflation pre ssure of each tire will
be displayed on the multi-information display.
Depending on the vehicle and driving conditions, initialization may
take up to approximately 1 hour to complete.
◆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.

■Tire types
●Summer tires
Summer tires are high-speed performance tires best suited to highway
driving under dry conditions. Since summer tires do not have the same
traction performance as snow tires, summer tires are inadequate for
driving on snow-covered or icy ro ads. For driving on snow-covered
roads or icy roads, the use of snow tires is recommended. When install-
ing snow tires, be sure to replace all four tires.
●All season tires
All season tires are designed to provide better traction in snow and to
be adequate for driving in most winter conditions as well as for use
year-round. All season tires, however, do not have adequate traction
performance compared with snow tires in heavy or loose snow. Also, all
season tires fall short in acceleration and handling performance com-
pared with summer tires in highway driving.
●Snow tires
For driving on snow-covered roads or icy roads, we recommend using
snow tires. If you need snow tires, select tires of the same size, con-
struction and load capacity as the or iginally installed tires. Since your
vehicle has radial tires as original equipment, make sure your snow
tires also have radial construction. Do not install studded tires without
first checking local regulations fo r possible restrictions. Snow tires
should be installed on all wheels. ( →P. 370)
■When rotating the tires
Make sure that the engine switch is off. If the tires are rotated while the
engine switch is in IGNITION ON mo de, the tire position information will
not be updated.
If this accidentally occurs, either turn the engine switch to off and then to
IGNITION ON mode, or initialize the system after checking that the tire
pressure is properly adjusted.

Maintenance and care
■The initialization operation
●Make sure to carry out initialization after adjusting the tire inflation pres-
sure. Also, make su re the tires are cold before carrying out initialization
or tire inflation pressure adjustment.
●If you have accidentally turned the engine switch off 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 IGNI-
TION ON mode for the next time.
●If you accidentally press the reset s witch when initialization is not neces-
sary, adjust the tire inflation pressu re to the specified level when the
tires are cold, and conduct initialization again.
●While the position of each tire is being determined and the inflation pres-
sures are not being displayed on the multi-information display, if the
inflation pressure of a ti re drops, the tire pressure warning light will come
on.
■Warning performance of the ti re pressure warning system
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 pr essure warning system has failed
Initialization may take longer to comp lete 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 approx imately 10 minutes. If initialization
is not complete after driving approxima tely 10 minutes, continue driving
for a while.
If the inflation of each ti re 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
25 mph (40 km/h) or more for approximately 10 to 20 minutes.
However, in the following situations, the tire inflation pressure will not be
recorder and the system will not operate properly. Perform initialization.
●When operating the tire pressure warning reset switch, the tire pressure
warning light does not blink 3 times.
●After performing init ialization, the tire pressure warning light blinks for 1
minute then stays on after driving for about 20 minutes.
If the inflation pressure of each tire is still not displayed, have the vehicle
inspected by your Toyota dealer.
