Maintenance and care
(→P.525)
■When replacing the tires and
wheels
If the ID code of the tire pressure warn -
ing valve and transm itter is not regis-
tered, the tire pre ssure warning system will not work properly. After driving for
about 10 minutes, the tire pressure
warning light blinks for 1 minute and stays on to indicate a system malfunc-
tion.
■The tire pressure warning sys -
tem must be initialized in the
following circumstances:
 When rotating the tires.
 When changing the tire.
 After registering the ID codes.
( →P.525)
 When changing between two
registered wheel sets.
When the tire pressure warning
system is initialized, the current tire
inflation pressu re is set as the
benchmark pressure.
■How to initialize the tire pres -
sure warning system
1 Park the vehicle in a safe place
and stop the hybrid system for
20 minutes or more.
Initialization cannot be performed while the vehicle is moving.
NOTICE
■Repairing or replacing tires,
wheels, tire pressure warning valves, transmitters and tire
valve caps
●When removing or fitting the wheels, tires or the tire pressure
warning valves and transmitters,
contact any auth orized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized
repairer, or any reliable repairer as
the tire pressure warning valves and transmitters may be damaged
if not handled correctly.
●Make sure to install the tire valve
caps. If the tire v alve caps are not
installed, water could enter the tire pressure warning valves and the
tire pressure warning valves could
be bound.
●When replacing tire valve caps, do
not use tire valve caps other than those specified.
The cap may become stuck.
■To avoid damage to the tire pres- sure warning valves and trans -
mitters (vehicles without spare
tire)
When a tire is repa ired with liquid
sealants, the tire pressure warning
valve and transmitter may not operate properly. If a liquid sealant is used,
contact any authorized Toyota retailer
or Toyota authoriz ed repairer, or any reliable repairer or other qualified ser -
vice shop as soon as possible. Make
sure to replace the tire pressure warn - ing valve and transm itter when repair-
ing or replacing the tire. ( →P.511,

2Adjust the tire inflation pressure
to the specified cold tire inflation
pressure level. ( →P.624)
Make sure to adjust the tire pressure to
the specified cold tire inflation pressure level. The tire pressure warning system
will operate based o n this pressure
level.
3 Start the hybrid system.
4 Press or of the meter
control switches on the steering
wheel and select .
5 Press or of the meter
control switches, select “Vehi -
cle Settings” and then press and
hold .
6 Press or of the meter
control switches, select “TPWS”
and then press .
7 Press or of the meter
control switches, select the “Set -
ting Pressure”. Then press and
hold .
“Set Pressure Accepted” will be dis -
played on the multi-information display
and the tire pressure warning light will blink 3 times.
When the message disappears, initial -
ization is complete.
A message is displayed on the multi-
information display. Also, “--” is dis - played for inflation pressure of each tire
on the multi-informat ion display while
the tire pressure w arning system deter- mines the position.
8 Drive straight (with occasional
left and right turns) at approxi -
mately 40 km/h (25mph) or
more for approximately 10 to 30
minutes.
When initialization is complete, the inflation pressure of each tire will be
displayed on the multi-information dis -
play.
Even if the vehicle is not driven at
approximately 40 k m/h (25 mph) or
more, initialization can be completed by driving for a long time. However, if ini -
tialization does not complete after driv-
ing for 1 hour or mor e, park the vehicle in a safe place for approximately 20
minutes and then drive the vehicle
again.
■When initializing
●Initialization is performed while driving at a vehicle speed of approximately
40 km/h (25 mph) or more.
●Make sure to carry out initialization
after adjusting the tire inflation pres -
sure. Also, make s ure the tires are
cold before carrying out initialization or tire inflation pressure adjustment.
●The tire pressure warning system can be initialized by yourself, but depend -
ing on the driving conditions and driv -
ing environment, initialization may take some time to complete.
■The initialization operation
●If you have accident ally turned the power switch to OFF during initializa -
tion, it is not necessary to restart the
initialization again as initialization will restart automatically when the power
switch has been tu rned to ON for the
next time.
