■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.

ing for 1 hour or more, park the vehicle in a safe place for more than 15 min-utes and please drive a vehicle once
again with the engine switch ON. ( P.283)
■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 more than 15
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.
