CAMRY_U (01999-06122)• When a very bright light, such as the sun or the headlights of oncoming
traffic, shines directly into the camera sensor
• When the surrounding area is dim, such as at dawn or dusk, or while at
night or in a tunnel
• After the engine has started the vehicle has not been driven for a certain
amount of time
• While making a left/right turn and for a few seconds after making a left/
right turn
• While driving on a curve and for a few seconds after driving on a curve
• If your vehicle is skidding
• If the wheels are misaligned
• If a wiper blade is blocking the camera sensor
• The vehicle is wobbling.
• The vehicle is being driven at extremely high speeds.
• When driving on a hill
• If the radar sensor or camera sensor is misaligned
●In some situations such as the following, sufficient braking force may not be
obtained, preventing the system from performing properly:
• If the braking functions cannot operate to their full extent, such as when
the brake parts are extremely cold, extremely hot, or wet
• If the vehicle is not properly maintained (brakes or tires are excessively
worn, improper tire inflation pressure, etc.)
• When the vehicle is being driven on a gravel road or other slippery sur-
face • If the front of the vehicle is raised or
lowered

WARNING
■Replacing tires
Make sure that all tires are of the specified size, brand, tread pattern and
total load capacity. In addition, make sure that the tires are inflated to the
recommended tire inflation pressure level.
The ABS, TRAC and VSC systems will not function correctly if different tires
are installed on the vehicle.
Contact your Toyota dealer for further information when replacing tires or
wheels.
■Handling of tires and the suspension
Using tires with any kind of problem or modifying the suspension will affect
the driving assist systems, and may cause a system to malfunction.

Maintenance and care
Your vehicle is equipped with a tire pressure warning system that uses
tire pressure warning valve and transmitters to detect low tire inflation
pressure before serious problems arise.
Vehicles without a tire inflation pressure display function
If the tire pressure drops below a predetermined level, the driver is
warned by a warning light. (→P. 500)
Vehicles with a tire inflation pressure display function
●The tire pressure detected by the tire pressure warning system can
be displayed on the multi-information display.
●If the tire pressure drops below a predetermined level, the driver is
warned by a screen display and a warning light. (→P. 500)

◆Installing tire pressure warning valve and transmitters
When replacing the tires or wheels, the tire pressure warning valve
and transmitters must be installed to the wheels which will be
installed to the vehicle.
When new tire pressure warning valve and transmitters are
installed, new ID codes must be registered in the tire pressure
warning computer and the tire pressure warning system must be
initialized. (→P. 448)
◆Initializing the tire pressure warning system
■The tire pressure warning system must be initialized in the fol-
lowing circumstances:
●When the tire inflation pressure is changed such as when chang-
ing traveling speed or load weight.
●When the tire inflation pressure is changed such as when the tire
size is changed.
●When rotating the tires.
●Vehicles with a tire inflation pressure display function: After per-
forming the transmitter ID code registration procedure. (→P. 448)
When the tire pressure warning system is initialized, the current tire
inflation pressure is set as the benchmark pressure.
■How to initialize the tire pressure warning system
Park the vehicle in a safe place and turn the engine switch off.
The initialization procedure cannot be started while the vehicle is
moving.
Adjust the tire inflation pressure to the specified cold tire inflation
pressure level. (→P. 547)
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.
Select (4.2-inch display) or (7-inch display) on the multi-
information display using the meter control switches on the steer-
ing wheel. (→P. 92, 104).

4.2-inch display: Select “Vehicle Settings” and then press .
7-inch display: Select and then press and hold .
Select “TPWS” and then press .
Select “Set Pressure” then
press and hold until
the tire pressure warning
light blinks 3 times.
Then a message will be dis-
played on the multi-information
display.
Vehicles with a tire inflation
pressure display function: “- -”
will be displayed on the multi-
information display for the
inflation pressure of each tire
while initialization is being per-
formed.
Vehicles with a tire inflation pressure display function: Drive
straight (with occasional left and right turns) at approximately 25
mph (40 km/h) or more for approximately 10 to 30 minutes.
Initialization is complete when the position of each tire is determined
and the inflation pressure of each tire is displayed on the multi-infor-
mation display.
Initialization may take longer than approximately 1 hour in certain
situations, such as when the vehicle is stopped for a long time at
traffic lights, etc. (→P. 453)
