tire pressure warni ng light will blink
3 times.
When the message disappears, ini-
tialization is complete.
A message is displayed on the
multi-information di splay. Also, “--”
is displayed for inflation pressure of
each tire on the multi-information
display while the tire pressure
warning system determines the
position.
8 Drive straight (with occa-
sional left and right turns) at
approximately 25mph (40
km/h) or more for approxi-
mately 10 to 30 minutes.
When initialization is complete, the
inflation pressure of each tire will be
displayed on the multi-information
display.
Even if the vehicle is not driven at
approximately 25 mph (40 km/h) or
more, initializat ion can be com-
pleted by driving for a long time.
However, if initia lization does not
complete after driving for 1 hour or
more, park the vehicle in a safe
place for approximately 20 minutes
and then drive th e vehicle again.
■When initializing
●Vehicles with tire inflation pres-
sure display function only: Initial-
ization is perform ed while driving
at a vehicle speed of approxi-
mately 25 mph (40 km/h) or more.
●Make sure to carry out initializa-
tion after adjusting the tire inflation
pressure. Also, make sure the
tires are cold before carrying out
initialization or tire inflation pres-
sure adjustment.
●Vehicles with tire inflation pres-
sure display function only: The tire
pressure warning system can be
initialized by yourself, but depend-
ing on the driving conditions and
driving environment, initialization
may take some ti me to complete.
■The initialization operation
●If you have accidentally turned the
engine switch to OFF during ini-
tialization, it is not necessary to
restart the initialization again as
initialization will re start automati-
cally when the engine switch has
been turned to ON for the next
time.
●If you accidentally perform the ini-
tialization when initialization is not
necessary, adjust the tire inflation
pressure to the s pecified level
when the tires are cold, and con-
duct initialization again.
●Vehicles with tire inflation pres-
sure display function only: While
the position of each tire is being
determined and the inflation pres-
sures are not being displayed on
the multi-information display, if the
inflation pressure of a tire drops,
the tire pre ssure warning light will
come on.
■When initializat ion of the tire
pressure warning system has
failed (vehicles without tire
inflation pressu re display func-
tion)
Initialization can be completed in a

few minutes. However, in the follow-
ing cases, the settings have not
been recorded an d the system will
not operate prope rly. If repeated
attempts to record tire inflation pres-
sure settings are unsuccessful,
have the vehicle inspected by your
Toyota dealer.
●When operating the tire pressure
warning reset swit ch, the tire pres-
sure warning light does not blink 3
times.
●After driving for a certain period of
time since the initialization has
been completed, the warning light
comes on after blin king for 1 min-
ute.
■If the tire pressure warning sys-
tem is not initialized properly
(vehicles with tire inflation pres-
sure display function)
●In the following si tuations, initial-
ization may take longer than usual
to be completed or may not be
possible. Normally, initialization
completes within approximately
30 minutes.
• Vehicle is not driven at approxi- mately 25 mph ( 40 km/h) or more
• Vehicle is driven on unpaved
roads
• Vehicle is driven near other vehi- cles and system cannot recog-
nize tire pressure warning valve
and transmitters of your vehicle
over those of other vehicles.
• If the vehicle is driven in heavy traffic or another situation where
other vehicles are driven close by,
it may take time for the system to
recognize the tire pressure warn-
ing valve and tran smitters of your
vehicle over those of other vehi-
cles.
If initialization does not complete
after driving for 1 hour or more, park
the vehicle in a safe place for
approximately 20 minutes and then
drive the vehicle again.
●If the vehicle is reversed during
initialization, the data up to that point is reset, so p
erform the ini-
tialization procedure again from
the beginning.
●In the following situations, initial-
ization will not be started or was
not completed properly and the
system will not oper ate properly.
Perform the initialization proce-
dure again.
• If, when attempting to start initial- ization, the tire pressure warning
light does not blink 3 times.
• If, when the veh icle has been
driven for about 20 minutes after
performing initialization, the tire
pressure warning light blinks for
approximately 1 minute and then
illuminates.
If the inflation pressure of each tire
is still not display ed, have the vehi-
cle inspected by your Toyota dealer.

sure without first adjusting the tire
inflation pressure to the specified
level. Otherwise, the tire pressure
warning light may not come on
even if the tire inflation pressure is
low, or it may c ome on when the
tire inflation pre ssure is actually
normal.
