■ Allow inspection and repairs to be performed by a Toyota dealer
●Toyota  technicians  are  well-trained  specialists  and  are  kept  up   to  date  with
the  latest  service  information. They  are  well  informed  about  th e  operations
of all systems on your vehicle.
● Keep  a  copy  of  the  repair  order.  It  proves  that  the  maintenance   that  has
been  performed  is  under  warranty  coverage.  If  any  problem  should  arise
while  your  vehicle  is  under  warranty,  your  Toyota  dealer  will  p romptly  take
care of it.

Your vehicle is equipped with a tire pressure warning system that uses
tire pressure warning valve and t ransmitters to detect low tire inflation
pressure before serious problems arise.
● The  tire  pressure  detected  by
the  tire  pressure  warning  sys-
tem  can  be  displayed  on  the
multi-information display.
*:If equipped
●If  the  tire  pressure  drops  below
a  predetermined  level,  the
driver  is  warned  by  a  screen
display  and  a  warning  light.

Maintenance and care
4RUNNER (U)
◆Installing tire pressure warning valve and transmitters
When replacing the tires or wheels, the tire pressure warning v alve
and  transmitters  must  be  install ed  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. 426)
◆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 ti re
size is changed.
● When rotating the tires.
● After  performing  the  transmitter  ID  code  registration  procedure .
(  P. 426)
When the tire pressure warning sy stem 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 i nflation
pressure level. ( P. 528)
Make  sure  to  adjust  the  tire  pre ssure  to  the  specified  cold  tire infla-
tion  pressure  level.  The  tire  pressure  warning  system  will  oper ate
based on this pr essure level.
Start the engine. ( P. 209, 212)
Select    on  the  multi-information  display  using  the  meter  con-
trol switches on the steering wheel. ( P.   9 6 )
Select “Vehicle Settings” 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.
“---”  will  be  displayed  on  the
multi-information  display  for
the  inflation  pressure  of  each
tire  while  initialization  is  being
performed.
Drive  straight  (with  occasional  left  and  right  turns)  at  approxi-
mately 25 mph (40 km/h) or more for approximately 10 to 30 min-
utes.
Initialization is complete when the position of each tire is determined
and the inflation pressure of ea ch tire is displayed on the multi-infor-
mation display.
Initialization  may  ta ke  longer  than  approximately  1  hour  in  cer tain
situations,  such  as  when  the  veh icle  is  stopped  for  a  long  time at
traffic lights, etc. ( P. 431)
◆Registering ID codes
Every  tire  pressure  warning  valve  and  transmitter  has  a  unique  ID
code. When replacing a tire pressure warning valve and transmit ter,
it is necessary to reg ister the ID codes. 
The ID codes can be registered on   of the multi-information dis -
play.

Select “Vehicle Settings” and then press and hold  .
Select “TPWS” and then press  .
Select  “Change  Wheel  Set”
then press and hold   until
the  tire  pressure  warning
light blinks slowly 3 times.
Then  a  message  will  be  dis-
played on the multi-information
display.
When registration is being per-
formed, the tire pressure warn-
ing  light  will  blink  for
approximately  1  minute  then
illuminate  and  “---”  will  be  dis-
played  for  the  inflation  pres-
sure  of  each  tire  on  the  multi-
information display.
Drive  straight  (with  occasional  left  and  right  turns)  at  approxi-
mately 25 mph (40 km/h) or more for approximately 10 to 30 min-
utes.
Registration  is  complete  when  the  tire  pressure  warning  light  t urns
off  and  the  inflation  pressure  of  each  tire  is  displayed  on  the multi-
information display.
Registration  may  take  longer  than  approximately 1 hour in certain
situations,  such  as  when  the  veh icle  is  stopped  for  a  long  time at
traffic lights, etc. ( P. 432)
After  registering  the  ID  codes,  make  sure  to  initialize  the  tir e  pres-

Situations  in  which  the  tire  pressure  warning  system  may  not  op
er-
ate properly
●In the following cases, the tire pressure warning system may no t operate
properly.
• If non-genuine Toyota wheels are used.
• A tire has been replaced with a  tire that is not an OE (Original Equip-
ment) tire.
• A tire has been replac ed with a tire that is not of the specif ied size.
• Tire chains etc . are equipped.
• If a window tint that affects the radio wave signals is instal led.
• If  there  is  a  lot  of  snow  or  ice  on  the  vehicle,  particularly  around  the
wheels or wheel housings.
• If  the  tire  inflation  pressure  is  extremely  higher  than  the  sp ecified
level.
• If  the  spare  tire  is  in  a  location  subject  to  poor  radio  wave  signal
reception.
• If  a  large  metallic  object  whic h  can  interfere with  signal  reception  is
put near the spare tire.
• If  tires  not  equipped  with  the  tire  pressure  warning  valves  an d trans-
mitters are used.
• If the ID code on the tire pressure warning valves and transmi tters is
not registered in the tire  pressure warning computer.
●Performance may be affected in the following situations.
• Near a TV tower, electric power plant, gas station, radio stat ion, large
display,  airport  or  other  facilit y  that  generates  strong  radio  waves  or
electrical noise
• When  carrying  a  portable  radio,  cellular  phone,  cordless  phone  or
other wireless communication device
●When the vehicle is parked, the time taken for the warning to s tart or go
off could be extended.
●When tire inflation pressure declines rapidly for example when  a tire has
burst, the warning may not function.
