WARNING
■To prevent injury
Before performing any light bulb
replacement procedure, be sure
to turn the power switch off. Fail-
ure to do so may result in burns
from hot compone nts or a part of
your body may get caught on an
operating component, possibly
causing serious injury.
■Replacing light bulbs
●Turn off the lights. Do not
attempt to replace the bulb
immediately after turning off the
lights.The bulbs become very
hot and may cause burns.
●Do not touch the glass portion
of the light bulb with bare
hands. When it is unavoidable
to hold the glass portion, use
and hold with a clean dry cloth
to avoid getting moisture and
oils on the bulb. Also, if the bulb
is scratched or dropped, it may
blow out or crack.
●Fully install light bulbs and any
parts used to secure them. Fail-
ure to do so may result in heat
damage, fire, or water entering
the light unit. This may damage
the lights or cause condensa-
tion to build up on the lens.
●Do not attempt t o repair or dis-
assemble light bulbs, connec-
tors, electric circuits or
component parts.
Doing so may result in death or
serious injury due to electric
shock.
■To prevent damage or fire
●Make sure bulbs are fully
seated and locked.
●Check the wattage of the bulb
before installing to prevent heat
damage.

■Electric power steering system
warning light (warning buzzer)
When the 12-volt battery charge
becomes insufficien t or the voltage
temporarily drops, the electric power
steering system warning light may
come on and the warning buzzer
may sound.
■When the tire pressure warning
light comes on
Inspect the tires to check if a tire is
punctured.
If a tire is punctured: P.479
If none of the tires are punctured:
Turn the power switch off then turn it
to ON. Check if the tire pressure
warning light comes on or blinks.
If the tire pressure warning light
blinks for 1 minute then stays on
There may be a malfunction in the
tire pressure warning system. Have
the vehicle inspected by your Toyota
dealer immediately.
If the tire pressure warning light
comes on
1 After the temperature of the tires
has lowered sufficiently, check
the inflation 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 specified level and perform
initialization. ( P.429)
If the warning light does not turn off
several minutes afte r the initializa-
tion has been performed, have the
vehicle inspected by your Toyota
dealer immediately.
■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 pressure changes caused by tem-
perature. In this ca
se, adjusting the
tire inflation pressure will turn off the
warning ligh t (after a few minutes).

spare tire
The compact spare tire is not
equipped with a tire pressure warn-
ing valve and tran smitter. 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 pres-
sure warning light will go off after a
few minutes.
