is not sitting in the seat.
●If a cushion is placed on the seat, the
sensor may not detect a passenger, and the warning light may not operate
properly.
■If the malfunction indicator lamp
comes on while driving
The malfunction indicator lamp will
come on if the fuel tank becomes com-
pletely empty. If the fuel tank is empty, refuel the vehicle immediately. The mal-
function indicator lamp will go off after
several trips.
If the malfunction indicator lamp does
not go off, contact any authorized Toyota
retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer as soon as possi-
ble.
■Electric power steering system
warning light (warning buzzer)
When the battery charge becomes
insufficient or the voltage temporarily
drops, the electric power steering sys- tem warning light may come on and the
warning buzzer may sound.
■When the tire pressure warning
light comes on
Check the tire inflation pressure and
adjust to the appropriate level. Pushing
the tire pressure wa rning reset switch will not turn off the tire pressure warning
light.
■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).
■Conditions that the tire pressure warning system may not function
properly

■If the tire pressure warning light
frequently comes on after blinking for 1 minute
If the tire pressure warning light fre-
quently comes on after blinking for 1 minute when the engine switch is turned
to ON, have it checked by any author-
ized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
■Warning buzzer
In some cases, the buzzer may not be
heard due to being in a noisy location or audio sound.
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
The steering wheel may 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 result in death or serious injury.
●Stop your vehicle in a safe place as soon as possible. Adjust the tire
inflation pressure immediately.

●If the tire pressure warning light
comes on even after tire inflation
pressure adjustment, it is probable that you have a flat tire. Check the
tires. If a tire is flat, repair the flat
tire by using emergency tire punc- ture repair kit.
●Avoid abrupt maneuvering and
braking. If the vehicle tires deterio- rate, you could lose control of the
steering wheel or the brakes.
■If a blowout or sudden air leak-
age should occur
The tire pressure warning system may not activate immediately.
NOTICE
■To ensure the tire pressure warn-
ing system operates properly
Do not install tires with different speci-
fications or makers, as the tire pres-
sure warning system may not operate
properly.
If a war ning message is
displayed
The multi-information display
shows warnings of system
malfunctions, incorrectly per-
formed operations, and mes-
sages that indicate a need for
maintenance. When a message
is shown, perform the correc-
tion procedure appropriate to
the message.

( P.326)
Check the degree of the tire
damage.
A tire should only be repaired with
the emergency tire puncture repair
If you have a flat tire
Your vehicle is not equipped
with a spare tire, but instead is
equipped with an emergency
tire puncture repair kit.
A puncture caused by a nail or
screw passing through the tire
tread can be repaired tempo-
rarily with the emergency tire
puncture repair kit.
WA R N I N G
■If you have a flat tire
Do not continue driving with a flat tire.
Driving even a short distance with a flat tire can damage the tire and the
wheel beyond repair. Driving with a
flat tire may cause a circumferential groove on the side wall. In such a
case, the tire may explode when
using the emergency tire puncture repair kit, resulting in death or serious
injury.
Before repairing the vehicle

3467-2. Steps to take in an emergency
kit if the damage is caused by a nail
or screw passing through the tire
tread.
• Do not remove the nail or screw
from the tire. Removing the
object may widen the opening
and disenable emergency repair
with the kit.
• To avoid sealant leakage, move
the vehicle until the area of the
puncture, if known, is positioned
at the top of the tire.
■A flat tire that ca nnot be repaired with the emergency tire puncture
repair kit
In the following cases, the tire cannot be repaired with the emergency tire punc-
ture repair kit. Contact any authorized
Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
●When the tire is damaged due to driv-ing without sufficient air pressure
●When the tire lost air pressure due to a crack or damage in the tire sidewall
●When the tire is visibly separated from the wheel
●When the cut or damage to the tread is 4 mm (0.16 in.) long or more
●When the wheel is damaged
●When 2 or more sharp objects, such
as nails or screws, have passed through the tread on a single tire
●When there is more than one hole or cut in the damaged tire
●When the sealant has expired

3487-2. Steps to take in an emergency
tle. The sealant should be replaced
before the expiry date. Contact any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota
authorized repairer, or any reliable
repairer for replacement.
●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 purchased, contact any authorized Toyota retailer or
Toyota authorized repairer, or any reli-
able repairer. The compressor is reus- able.
●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 kit, a loud
operation noise is produced. This
does not indicate a malfunction.
●Do not use the emergency tire punc-
ture repair kit to check or to adjust the tire pressure.
●In extremely low temperatures -30°C to -20°C (-22°F to -4°F), the viscosity
of the sealant increases and the seal-
ant will flow more slowly. In such tem- peratures, bring the sealant into the
vehicle to warm it up before use.
■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.
WA R N I N G
■Caution while driving
●Store the repair kit in the trunk.
Injuries may result in the event of an accident or sudden braking.
●The repair kit is exclusively only for
your vehicle. Do not use repair kit on other vehi-
cles, which could lead to an acci-
dent causing death or serious injury.
●Do not use repair kit for tires that are different size than the original
ones, or for any other purpose. If
the tires have not been completely repaired, it could lead to an acci-
dent causing death or serious
injury.
■Precautions for use of the seal-
ant
●Ingesting the sealant is hazardous
to your health. If you ingest sealant,
consume as much water as possi- ble, then immediately consult a
doctor.
●If sealant gets in eyes or adheres to
skin, immediately wash it off with
water. If discomfort persists, consult a doctor.
●If a person who is allergic to natural rubber comes in contact the seal-
ant, allergy symptoms may occur.

8 To inject the sealant and inflate
the tire, turn the compressor
switch on.
9 Adjust the air pressure to the
appropriate level (green zone of
the air gauge).
After the compressor starts to operate, the air pressure will temporarily rise to
300 kPa (3.0 kgf/cm2 or bar, 45 psi) or
higher. After about 30 seconds when all of the sealant is inside the tire, the air
pressure will lower, representing the air
pressure in the tire.
