WARNING
■When adding washer fluid
Do not add washer fluid when the
engine is hot or running as
washer fluid contains alcohol and
may catch fire if spilled on the
engine, etc.
NOTICE
■Do not use any fluid other
than washer fluid
Do not use soapy water or engine
antifreeze instead of washer fluid.
Doing so may cause streaking on
the vehicle’s painted surfaces, as
well as damaging the pump lead-
ing to problems of the washer
fluid not spraying.
■Diluting washer fluid
Dilute washer fluid with water as
necessary.
Refer to the freezing tempera-
tures listed on the label of the
washer fluid bottle.

Maintenance and care
Front
To equalize tire wear and extend
tire life, Toyota recommends that
tire rotation is carried out at the
same interval as tire inspection.
Your vehicle is equipped with a
tire pressure warning system
that uses tire pressure warning
valves and transmitters 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 the tire pressure drops
below a predetermined level,
the driver is warned by a screen display and a warning
light. (
P.354)
■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 o f daily vehicle
checks.
■Tire inflation pressure
●It may take a few minutes to dis-
play the tire inflation pressure
after the engine switch is turned to
ON. It may also take a few min-
utes to display the tire inflation
pressure after infl ation 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
pressure warning system may
not operate properly
●In the following cases, the tire
pressure 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-support ed run-flat tire

Maintenance and care
■The tire pressure warning
system must be initialized
in the following circum-
stances:
When rotating the tires.
When the tire inflation pres-
sure is changed such as
when changing traveling
speed.
When changing the tire size.
When the tire pressure warning
system is initialized, the current
tire inflation pressure is set as
the benchmark pressure.
■How to initialize the tire
pressure warning system
1 Park the vehicle in a safe
place and turn the engine
switch off.
Initialization cannot be performed
while the vehicle is moving.
2Adjust the tire inflation pres-
sure to the specified cold tire
inflation pressure level.
Make sure to adjust the tire pres-
sure to the specifie d cold tire infla-
tion pressure level. The tire
pressure warning system will oper-
ate based on this pressure level.
3Turn the engine switch to
ON.
4 Press and hold the tire pres-
sure warning reset switch
until the tire pressure warning
light blinks slowly 3 times.
5 Wait for a few minutes with
the engine switch ON and
NOTICE
●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 ti re valve caps,
do not use tire valve caps other
than those specified. The cap
may become stuck.
■To avoid damage to the tire
pressure warning valves and
transmitters
When a tire is repaired with liquid
sealants, the tire pressure warn-
ing valve and transmitter may not
operate properly. If a liquid seal-
ant is used, contact your Toyota
dealer or other qualified service
shop as soon as possible. After
use of liquid sealant, make sure to
replace the tire pressure warning
valve and transmitter when repair-
ing or replacing the tire. (

Initializing the tire pres-
sure warning system
3186-3. Do-it-yourself maintenance
then turn the engine switch
off.
■If you press the tire pressure
warning reset switch acciden-
tally
If initialization is performed, adjust
the tire inflation pressure to the
specified level and initialize the tire
pressure warning system again.
■Initialization procedure
●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 pressure adjustment.
●If you have accidentally turned the
engine switch off during initializa-
tion, it is not necessary to press
the reset switch again as initializa-
tion will restart aut omatically when
the engine switch has been turned
to ON for the next time.
●If you accidentally press the reset
switch when initialization is not
necessary, adjust the tire inflation
pressure to the specified level
when the tires are cold, and con-
duct initialization again.
■When initialization of the tire
pressure warning system has
failed
Initialization can be completed in a
few minutes. However, in the follow-
ing cases, the set tings have not
been recorded an d the system will
not operate properly. 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 switch, tire pressure
warning light doe s not blink 3
times.
●After carrying out the initialization
procedure, the tir e pressure warn-
ing light blinks for 1 minute then stays on after driving for 20 min-
utes.
The tire pressure warning valve
and transmitter is equipped with
a unique ID code. When replac-
ing a tire pressure warning valve
and transmitter, it is necessary
to register the ID code. Have the
ID code registered by your Toy-
ota dealer.
■Registering ID codes
The ID codes of t he tire pressure
warning valve and transmitters for
two sets of whee ls can be regis-
tered.
It is not necessary to register the ID
codes when replacing normal tires
with snow tires, if the ID codes for
the wheels of both normal tires and
snow tires are registered before-
hand.
In addition to the set of tire pressure
warning system sensor ID codes ini-
tially registered to the vehicle, a sec-
ond set of ID codes can be
registered.
A second set of tire pressure warn-
ing system sensor ID codes can be
registered at your Toyota dealer.
WARNING
■When initializing the tire pres-
sure warning system
Do not operate the tire pressure
warning reset switch without first
adjusting the tire inflation pres-
sure to the specif ied level. Other-
wise, the tire pressure warning
light may not come on even if the
tire inflation press ure is low, or it
may come on when the tire infla-
tion pressure is actually normal.

Maintenance and care
When 2 sets of ID codes have been
registered, either ID code set can be
selected.
1Park the vehicle in a safe
place and turn the engine
switch to ON.
2 Press the tire pressure warn-
ing reset switch 3 times
within 3 seconds.
3 The tire pressure warning
light will illuminate for 3 sec-
onds and then blink 3 times.
4 The tire pressure warning
light will blink for 1 minute
and then illuminate.
5 When the ID code change
has completed, the tire pres-
sure warning light will turn off.
Check that tire pressures are dis-
played on the multi-information dis-
play.
Stop the vehicle in a safe
place on a hard, flat surface.
Set the parking brake.
Shift the shift lever to P (auto-
matic transmission) or R
(manual transmission).
Stop the engine.
■Jack and Jack handle
As your vehicle is equipped with an
emergency tire puncture repair kit, a
jack and jack handle for replacing a
tire are not include d with your vehi-
cle. To purchase a jack and jack
handle, contact your Toyota dealer.

replacing tires on this vehicle.
●Always check that the tire jack
is securely set to the jack point.
●Do not put any part of your body
under the vehicle while it is sup-
ported by the jack.
●Do not start the engine or drive
the vehicle while the vehicle is
supported by the jack.
●Do not raise the vehicle while
someone is inside.
●When raising the vehicle, do not
put an object on or under the
jack.
●Do not raise the vehicle to a
height greater than that required
to replace the tire.
●Use a jack stand if it is neces-
sary to get under the vehicle.
