WARNING
■Maintenance of the tires
Each tire, including the spare (if provided), should be checked monthly
when cold and inflated to the inflation pressure recommended by the
vehicle manufacturer on the vehicle placard or tire inflation p ressure
label (tire and load information label). (If your vehicle has t ires of a dif-
ferent size than the size indica ted on the vehicle placard or tire inflation
pressure label [tire and load information label], you should de termine
the proper tire inflation p ressure for those tires.)
As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been equipped with a tire
pressure monitoring system (TPMS -tire pressure warning system) that
illuminates a low tire pressure telltale (tire pressure warning light) when
one or more of your tires is significantly under-inflated. Acco rdingly,
when the low tire pressure telltale (tire pressure warning ligh t) illumi-
nates, you should stop and check your tires as soon as possible , and
inflate them to the proper pressure. Driving on a significantly under-
inflated tire causes the tire to overheat and can lead to tire failure.
Under-inflation also reduces fuel efficiency and tire tread lif e, and may
affect the vehicle’s handl ing and stopping ability.
Please note that the TPMS (tire pressure warning system) is not a sub-
stitute for proper tire maintena nce, and it is the driver’s responsibility to
maintain correct tire pressure, even if under-inflation has not reached
the level to trigger illumination of the TPMS low tire pressure telltale (tire
pressure warning light).
Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS (tire pressure warn-
ing system) malfunction indicato r to indicate when the system is not
operating properly. The TPMS (tire pressure warning system) mal func-
tion indicator is combined with the low tire pressure telltale (tire pressure
warning light). When the system detects a malfunction, the tell tale will
flash for approximately one mi nute and then remain continuously illumi-
nated. This sequence will continue upon subsequent vehicle star t-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 tir e pres-
sure as intended.
TPMS (tire pressure warning system) malfunctions may occur for a vari-
ety of reasons, including the installation of replacement or al ternate tires
or wheels on the vehicle that prevent the TPMS (tire pressure w arning
system) from functioning properly. Always check the TPMS (tire pres-
sure warning system) malfunction telltale 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 sys tem) to
continue to function properly.

■Warning messages
The warning messages explained below may differ from the actual messages
according to operation conditions and vehicle specifications.
■ If a message that indicates the need for visiting your Toyota d ealer is
displayed
The system or part shown on the multi-information display is malfunctioning.
Have the vehicle inspected by your Toyota dealer immediately.
■ If a message about an operation is shown
● If a message about an operation of the accelerator pedal or bra ke pedal is
shown
A warning message about an operation of the brake pedal may be shown
while the driving assist systems such as PCS (Pre-Collision Sys tem) or the
dynamic radar cruise control with full-speed range is operating . If a warning
message is shown, be sure to decelerate the vehicle or follow t he instruction
shown on the multi-information display.
● A warning message is shown when B rake Override System or Drive-Start
Control operates ( P. 164). Follow the instructions on the multi-informa-
tion display.
● If a message about an operation of the engine switch is shown
An instruction for operation of the engine switch is shown when the incorrect
procedure for starting the engine is performed or the engine switch is oper-
ated incorrectly. Follow the instructions shown on the multi -i nformation dis-
play to operate the engine switch again.
● If a message about a shift lever operation is shown
To prevent the shift lever from being operated incorrectly or t he vehicle from
moving unexpectedly, a message that requires shifting the shift lever may
be shown on the multi-information display. In that case, follow the instruction
of the message and shift the shift lever.
● If a message or image about an open/close state of a part or replenishment
of a consumable is shown
Confirm the part indicated by the multi-information display or a warning light,
and then perform the coping method such as closing the open doo r or
replenishing a consumable.

Chock the tires.
Slightly loosen the wheel nuts
(one turn).
Turn the tire jack portion by
hand until the center of the
recessed portion of the jack is
in contact with the center of the
jack point.

Assemble the jack handle and
the wheel nut wrench as shown
in the illustration.
Raise the vehicle until the tire is
slightly raised off the ground.
Remove all the wheel nuts and
the tire.
When resting the tire on the
ground, place the tire so that the
wheel design faces up to avoid
scratching the wheel surface.

Firmly tighten each wheel nut
two or three times in the order
shown in the illustration.
Tightening torque:
76 ft
·lbf (103 N·m, 10.5 kgf·m)
Stow the flat tire, tire jack and all tools.
■The compact spare tire
●The compact spare tire is identified by the label “TEMPORARY US E
ONLY” on the tire sidewall.
Use the compact spar e tire temporarily, and only in an emergenc y.
●Make sure to check the tire inflation pressure of the compact spare tire.
( P. 4 7 0 )
■After completing the tire change
The tire pressure warni ng system must be reset. ( P. 364)
■When using the compact spare tire
As the compact spare tire is not equipped with a tire pressure warning
valve and transmitter, low inflation pressure of the spare tire will not be
indicated by the tire pressure warning system. Also, if you rep lace the
compact spare tire after the tire pressure warning light comes on, the light
remains on.
■When the compact spa re tire is equipped
The vehicle becomes lower when driving with the compact spare t ire
compared to when driving with standard tires.
■If you have a flat front tire on a road covered with snow or ic e
Install the compact spare tire on one of the rear wheels of the vehicle.
Perform the following steps and f it tire chains to the front tires:
Replace a rear tire with the compact spare tire.
Replace the flat front tire with the tire removed from the rear of the vehi-
cle.
Fit tire chains to the front tires.

When trouble arises
If the engine will not star t
One of the following may be the cause of the problem:
● There may not be sufficient fuel in the vehicle’s tank.
Refuel the vehicle.
● The engine may be flooded.
Try to restart the engine again following correct starting proc edures.
( P. 178, 181)
● There may be a malf unction in the engine immobilizer system.
( P. 81)
One of the following may be the cause of the problem:
● The battery may be discharged. ( P. 452)
● The battery terminal connecti ons may be loose or corroded.
The engine starting system may be malfunctioning due to an elec trical
problem such as electronic key battery depletion or a blown fus e.
However, an interim measure is a vailable to start the engine.
( P. 448)
If the engine will not start eve n though correct starting proce -
dures are being followed ( P. 178, 181), consider each of the fol-
lowing points:
The engine will not start even t hough the starter motor operates
normally.
The starter motor turns over slowly, the interior lights and he ad-
lights are dim, or the horn does not sound or sounds at a low
volume.
The starter motor does not turn over (vehicles with a smart key
system)
