WARNING
■ If the tire pressure warning light comes on (vehicles with a tire pres-
sure warning light system)
Be sure to observe the following precautions. Failure to do so could cause a
loss of vehicle control and result in death or serious injury.
● Stop your vehicle in a safe place as soon as possible. Adjust the tire infla-
tion pressure immediately.
● If the tire pressure warning light comes on even after tire inflation pressure
adjustment, it is probable that you have a flat tire. Check the tires. If a tire
is flat, change it with the spare tire and have the flat tire repaired by the
nearest any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified
and equipped professional.
● Avoid abrupt maneuvering and braking. If the vehicle tires deteriorate, you
could lose control of the steering wheel or the brakes.
■ If a blowout or sudden air leakage should occur (vehicles with a tire
pressure warning light system)
The tire pressure warning system may not activate immediately.
NOTICE
■ To ensure the tire pressure warning system operates properly (vehi-
cles with a tire pressure warning light system)
Do not install tires with different specifications or makers, as the tire pres-
sure warning system may not operate properly.
