WARNING
A blocked exhaust pipe or inadequate
ventilation can allow harmful exhaust
fumes to enter the vehicle. The
exhaust fumes contain pollutants
which are colourless and odourless.
In enclosed spaces, the exhaust
fumes can also build up outside the
vehicle. There is a danger of fatal
injury. Keep the exhaust pipe clear
and ensure sufficient ventilation.
NOTICE
The compressor can overheat if oper-
ated for too long. There is a danger of
damage to property. Do not let the
compressor run for longer than 10
minutes.

Tire chains cannot be mounted.
Snow tires should be used instead.
The system monitors the tyre infla-
tion pressure in the four fitted tyres.
The system warns if the tyre infla-
tion pressure in one or more tyres
has fallen.
Sensors in the tyre valves measure
the tyre inflation pressure and tyre
temperature.
The system detects the fitted tyres
automatically. The system shows
the preset specified pressures on
the Control Display and compares
them to the current tyre inflation
pressures.
If tyres are fitted which are not
listed on the tyre inflation pressure
labels in the vehicle, see page 278, for example tyres with special
approval, the system must be
actively reset. The current tyre
inflation pressures are then
accepted as the specified values.
To operate the system, also please
comply with the other information
and notes in the chapter Tyre infla-
tion pressure, see page 278.
The following requirements must be
met for the system, otherwise relia-
ble signalling of a loss of tyre infla-
tion pressure is not ensured:
• After each tyre or wheel change,
the system has detected the fit-
ted tyres, updated the relevant
information and, after a short
journey, shown it on the Control
Display.

WARNING
The display showing the specified
tyre inflation pressures does not
replace the tyre inflation pressure
information on the vehicle. If incorrect
data has been entered into the tyre
settings, the specified tyre inflation
pressures will also be incorrect. As a
result, reliable signalling of a loss of
tyre inflation pressure can no longer
be guaranteed. There is a danger of
injury and damage to property. Make
sure that the tyre sizes of the fitted
tyres are displayed correctly and that
they match the specifications on the
tyres and the tyre inflation pressure
information.

WARNING
A damaged normal tyre with too little
or no tyre inflation pressure impairs
driving characteristics, for example

run-flat properties allow a limited level
of stability to be maintained. There is

normal tyres. Comply with the notes
on run-flat tyres and continuing to
drive with these tyres.

1Identify the damaged tyre.
Check the tyre inflation pressure in all
four tyres, for example using the tyre
pressure indicator of a flat tyre kit.
In the case of tyres with special
approval: if all four tyres are inflated to
the correct tyre inflation pressures, the
TPM might not have been reset. Per-
form a reset.
If no tyre damage can be identified,
contact any authorized Toyota retailer
or Toyota authorized repairer, or any
reliable repairer.
2Repair the flat tyre, for example
using a flat tyre kit or by chang-
ing the wheel.
The use of sealant, for example a
flat tyre kit, can damage the TPM
wheel electronics. Have the elec-
tronics replaced at the next oppor-
tunity.
■Safety notes
■Maximum speed
If a tyre is damaged you can con-
tinue your journey, but do not
exceed a maximum speed of 80
km/h, 50 mph.
■Continuing a journey with a
flat tyre
Note the following if you continue a
journey with a flat tyre:
1Avoid violent or sudden braking
and steering manoeuvres.
2Do not exceed a speed of 80
km/h, 50 mph.

There is a flat tyre or sub-

What to do in the event of a
flat tyre
Standard tyres
Run-flat tyres
WARNING
A run-flat tyre which has low tyre infla-
tion pressure or no tyre inflation pres-
sure at all will change the vehicle's
handling characteristics, for example
there may be reduced directional sta-
bility when braking, longer braking
distances and different self-steering
characteristics. There is a danger of
accidents. Drive with care and do not
exceed a speed of 80 km/h, 50 mph.

3As soon as there is an opportu-
nity, check the tyre inflation
pressure in all four tyres.
In the case of tyres with special
approval: if all four tyres are inflated to
the correct tyre inflation pressures, the
Tyre Pressure Monitor might not have
been reset. Perform a reset.
■Possible driving distance with
a deflated tyre
The possible driving distance varies
depending on the load and stresses
the vehicle is subjected to, for
example speed, road properties,
outside temperature. The driving
distance can be shorter or, if the
driving style is more careful, longer.
If the vehicle is moderately loaded
and used under favourable condi-
tions, it is possible to travel up to 80
km, 50 miles.
■Driving properties with dam-
aged tyres
On a journey with damaged tyres,
handling characteristics change
and may result in the following situ-
ations, for example:
• The vehicle losing traction more
quickly.
• Longer braking distances.
• Different self-steering character-
istics.
Adapt your driving style. Avoid
abrupt steering or driving over
obstacles, for example kerbs or
potholes.
■Final tyre failure
Vibration or loud noises during the journey may be an indication that
the tyre has finally failed.
Reduce your speed and stop the
vehicle. Parts of the tyre could
detach, which might lead to an acci-
dent.
Do not continue driving, but contact
any authorized Toyota retailer or
Toyota authorized repairer, or any
reliable repairer.
The tyre inflation pressure depends
on the temperature of the tyre.
The tyre inflation pressure
increases as the tyre temperature
increases, for example during driv-
ing or due to exposure to sunlight.
Tyre inflation pressure decreases if
the tyre temperature drops.
Through this behaviour, a warning
may be triggered if there are major
temperature drops, due to the given
warning limits.
After a temperature-related warn-
ing, the specified pressures are dis-
played again on the Control Display
after a short distance.
No warning can be given by the
system of extreme, sudden tyre fail-
ure caused by external factors.System limits
