■Routine tire inflation pressure
checks
The tire pressure warning system does
not replace routine tire inflation pressure
checks. Make sure to check tire inflation
pressure as part of your routine of daily
vehicle checks.
■Tire inflation pressure
●It may take a few minutes to display
the tire inflation pressure after the
engine switch is turned to ON. It may
also take a few minutes to display the
tire inflation pressure after inflation
pressure has been adjusted.
●Tire inflation pressure changes with
temperature. The displayed values
may also be different from the values
measured using a tire pressure
gauge.
■Situations in which the tire pres-
sure warning system may not oper-
ate properly
●In the following cases, the tire pres-
sure warning system may not operate
properly.
• If non-genuine Toyota wheels are
used.
• A tire has been replaced with a tire
that is not an OE (Original Equipment)
tire.
• A tire has been replaced with a tire
that is not of the specified size.
• Tire chains, etc. are equipped.
• An auxiliary-supported run-flat tire is
equipped.• If a window tint that affects the radio
wave signals is installed.
• 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 specified
level.
• If tires not equipped with tire pressure
warning valves and transmitters are
used.
• If the ID code on the tire pressure
warning valves and transmitters 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 station, large dis-
play, airport or other facility that gen-
erates strong radio waves or electrical
noise.
• When carrying a portable radio, cellu-
lar phone, cordless phone or other
wireless communication device.
●When the vehicle is parked, the time
taken for the warning to start or go off
could be extended.
●When tire inflation pressure declines
rapidly for example when a tire has
burst, the warning may not function.
■Warning performance of the tire
pressure warning system
The warning of the tire pressure warning
system will change in accordance with
driving conditions. For this reason, the
system may give a warning even if the
tire pressure does not reach a low
enough level, or if the pressure is higher
than the pressure that was adjusted to
when the system was initialized.
When replacing tires or wheels, tire
pressure warning valves and trans-
mitters must also be installed.

6-3. Do-it-yourself maintenance
When new tire pressure warning
valves and transmitters are
installed, new ID codes must be
registered in the tire pressure warn-
ing computer and the tire pressure
warning system must be initialized.
Have tire pressure warning valves
and transmitter ID codes regis-
tered any authorized Toyota retailer
or Toyota authorized repairer, or
any reliable repairer. ( →P.336)
■Replacing tires and wheels
If the ID code of the tire pressure warn- ing valve and transmitter is not regis-tered, the tire pressure 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:
z When rotating front and rear tires
which have different tire inflation
pressures.
z When changing the tire size.
z When the tire inflation pressure
is changed such as when chang-
ing traveling speed or load
weight.
z When changing between two
registered wheel sets.
When the tire pressure warning
system is initialized, the current tire
inflation pressure is set as the
benchmark pressure.
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 authorized 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 valve 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
When a tire is repaired 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 authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer as soon as possible.

formed.
8Drive straight (with occasional
left and right turns) at approxi-
mately 40 km/h (25 mph) or
more for approximately 10 to 30
minutes.
Initialization is complete when the posi-
tion of each tire is determined and the
inflation pressure of each tire is dis-
played on the multi-information display.
Initialization may take longer than
approximately 1 hour in certain situa-
tions, such as when the vehicle is
stopped for a long time at traffic lights,
etc. (→P.337)
■Initialization procedure
●Make sure to carry out initialization
after adjusting the tire inflation pres-
sure.
Also, make sure the tires are cold
before carrying out initialization or tire
inflation pressure adjustment.
●If you have accidentally turned the
engine switch off during initialization, it
is not necessary to press the reset
switch again as initialization will
restart automatically when the engine
switch is turned to ON the next time.
●If you accidentally press the reset
switch when initialization is not neces-
sary, adjust the tire inflation pressure
to the specified level when the tires
are cold, and conduct initialization
again.
●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 infla-tion pressure of a tire drops, the tire
pressure warning light will come on.
■If the tire pressure warning system is not initialized properly
●In the following situations, initialization may take longer than usual to be com-pleted or may not be possible. (Usu-
ally, the vehicle will need to be driven for approximately 10 to 30 minutes to complete initialization.) If initialization
is not complete after driving approxi- mately 30 minutes, continue driving for a while.
• If the vehicle is driven on an unpaved road, it may take longer to complete initialization.
• If the vehicle is backed up while per- forming initialization, data collected during initialization will be cleared and
it will take longer than normal to com- plete.• If the vehicle is driven in heavy traffic
or another situation where other vehi- cles are driven close by, it may take time for the system to recognize the
tire pressure warning valve and trans- mitters of your vehicle over those of other vehicles.
If initialization is not complete after driv-
ing for approximately 1 hour, park the
vehicle in a safe place for approximately
20 minutes and then drive the vehicle
again.
●In the following situations, initialization will not be started or was not com-
pleted properly and the system will not operate properly. Perform the initial-ization procedure again.
• If, when attempting to start initializa- tion, the tire pressure warning light does not blink 3 times.
• If, when the vehicle has been driven for about 20 minutes after performing initialization, the tire pressure warning
light blinks for approximately 1 minute and then illuminates.
●If initialization cannot be completed
after performing the above procedure,
contact any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
The tire pressure warning valve
and transmitter is equipped with a
unique ID code. When replacing a
tire pressure warning valve and
transmitter, it is necessary to regis-
ter the ID code.

tion, make sure that no wheels with
tire pressure warning valve and trans-
mitters installed are near the vehicle.
●Make sure to initialize the tire pres-
sure warning system after registering
the ID codes. If the system is initial-
ized before registering the ID codes,
the initialized values will be invalid.
●As the tires will be warm when regis-
tration is completed, make sure to
allow the tires to cool before perform-
ing initialization.
■Canceling ID code registration
●To cancel ID code registration after it
has been started, turn the engine
switch off before driving the vehicle.

■Effects of incorrect tire inflation pressure
Driving with incorrect tire inflation pres- sure may result in the following:
●Reduced safety
●Damage to the drive train
●Reduced tire life due to wear
●Reduced fuel economy
●Reduced driving comfort and poor
handling
If a tire needs frequent inflating, have it checked by any authorized Toyota
retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
■Instructions for checking tire infla-tion pressure
When checking tire inflation pressure, observe the following:
●Check only when the tires are cold.If your vehicle has been parked for at least 3 hours or has not been driven
for more than 1.5 km or 1 mile, you will get an accurate cold tire inflation pressure reading.
●Always use a tire pressure gauge.It is difficult to judge if a tire is properly
inflated based only on its appearance.
●It is normal for the tire inflation pres-
sure to be higher after driving as heat is generated in the tire. Do not reduce
tire inflation pressure after driving.
●Passengers and luggage weight
should be placed so that the vehicle is balanced.
Tire inflation pressure
Make sure to maintain proper
tire inflation pressure. Tire
inflation pressure should be
checked at least once per
month. However, Toyota rec-
ommends that tire inflation
pressure be checked once
every two weeks. ( →P.417)

Maintenance and care
When replacing wheels, care
should be taken to ensure that they
are equivalent to those removed in
load capacity, diameter, rim width
and inset*.
Replacement wheels are available
at any authorized Toyota retailer or
Toyota authorized repairer, or any
reliable repairer.
*: Conventionally referred to as offset.
Toyota does not recommend using
the following:
z Wheels of different sizes or types
z Used wheels
z Bent wheels that have been
straightened
■When replacing wheels
The wheels of your vehicle are equipped with tire pressure warning valves and
transmitters that allow the tire pressure warning system to provide advance warning in the event of a loss in tire
inflation pressure. Whenever wheels are replaced, the tire pressure warning valves and transmitters must be
installed. ( →P.333)
WARNING
●Uneven wear
●Poor handling
●Possibility of blowouts resulting
from overheated tires
●Air leaking from between tire and
wheel
●Wheel deformation and/or tire dam-
age
●Greater possibility of tire damage
while driving (due to road hazards, expansion joints, sharp edges on the road, etc.)
NOTICE
■When inspecting and adjusting tire inflation pressure
Be sure to put the tire valve caps back
on. If a valve cap is not installed, dirt or moisture may get into the valve and
cause an air leak, resulting in decreased tire inflation pressure.
Wheels
If a wheel is bent, cracked or
heavily corroded, it should be
replaced. Otherwise, the tire
may separate from the wheel
or cause a loss of handling
control.
