8-2. Steps to take in an emergency
When trouble arises
If the tire pressure warning light
comes on
1 After the temperature of the tires has lowered sufficiently, check the infla-
tion pressure of each tire and adjust
them to the specified level.
2 If the warning light does not turn off even after several minutes have
elapsed, check that the inflation
pressure of each tire is at the speci- fied level and perform initialization.
( P.442)
■The tire pressure warning light may
come on due to natural causes
The tire pressure warning light may
come on due to natural causes such as
natural air leaks and tire inflation pres- sure changes caused by temperature. In
this case, adjusting the tire inflation
pressure will turn off the warning light (after a few minutes).
■When a tire is replaced with a spare
tire
Vehicles with a compact spare tire: The compact spare tire is not equipped with
a tire pressure warning valve and trans-
mitter. If a tire goes flat, the tire pressure warning light will not turn off even
though the flat tire has been replaced
with the spare tire. Replace the spare tire with the repaired tire and adjust the
tire inflation pressure. The tire pressure
warning light will go off after a few min- utes.
Vehicles with a full-size spare tire: The
spare tire is also equipped with a tire pressure warning valve and transmitter.
The tire pressure warning light will turn
on if the tire inflation pressure of the spare tire is low. If a tire goes flat, the
tire pressure warning light will not turn
off even though the flat tire has been
replaced with the spare tire. Replace the spare tire with the repaired tire and
adjust the tire inflation pressure. The tire
pressure warning light will go off after a few minutes.
■Conditions that th e tire pressure
warning system may not function properly
P. 4 3 1
WA R N I N G
■If both the ABS and the brake system warning lights remain on
Stop your vehicle in a safe place
immediately and contact any author-
ized Toyota retailer or Toyota author- ized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
The vehicle will become extremely
unstable during br aking, and the ABS system may fail, which could cause
an accident resulting in death or seri-
ous injury.
■When the electric power steer-
ing system warning light comes on
When the light comes on yellow, the
assist to the power steering is restricted. When th e light comes on
red, the assist to the power steering is
lost and handling operations of the steering wheel become extremely
heavy.
When steering wheel operations are heavier than usual, grip the steering
wheel firmly and operate it using more
force than usual.
■If the tire pressure warning light
comes on
Be sure to observe the following pre-
cautions.
Failure to do so could cause a loss of vehicle control and re sult in death or
serious injury.
●Stop your vehicle in a safe place as
soon as possible. Adjust the tire
inflation pressure immediately.

■Note for checking the emergency tire puncture repair kit
Check the sealant expiry date occasion-
ally. The expiry date is shown on the bottle.
Do not use sealant whose expiry date
has already passed. Otherwise, repairs
conducted using the emergency tire
puncture repair kit may not be per- formed properly.
■Emergency tire puncture repair kit
●The emergency tire puncture repair kit is for filling the car tire with air.
●The sealant has a limited life span. The expiry date is marked on the bot-
tle. The sealant should be replaced
with a new bottle before the expiry date. Contact any authorized Toyota
retailer or Toyota authorized repairer,
or any reliable repairer for replace- ment.
●The sealant stored in the emergency tire puncture repair kit can be used
only once to temporarily repair a sin-
gle tire. If the sealant has been used and needs to be replaced, purchase a
new bottle at any authorized Toyota
retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer. The compres-
sor is reusable.
●The sealant can be used when the
outside temperature is from -30°C
(-22°F) to 60°C (140°F).
●The kit is exclusively designed for size
and type of tires originally installed on your vehicle. Do not use it for tires that
a different size than the original ones,
or for any other purposes.
●If the sealant gets on your clothes, it
may stain.
●If the sealant adheres to a wheel or
the surface of the vehicle body, the stain may not be removable if it is not
cleaned at once. Immediately wipe
away the sealant with a wet cloth.
●During operation of the repair kit, a
loud operation noise is produced. This
does not indicate a malfunction.
●Do not use to check or to adjust the
tire pressure.
