When trouble arises
■When the electric power
steering system warning light
comes on
When the light comes on yellow,
the assist to the power steering is
restricted. When the light comes
on red, the assist to the power
steering is lost and handling oper-
ations 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
precautions.
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 immedi-
ately.
●Vehicles with a compact spare
tire: If the tire pr essure warning
light comes on ev en after tire
inflation pressure adjustment, it
is probable that you have a flat
tire. Check the tires. If a tire is
flat, change it with the spare tire
and have the flat tire repaired by
the nearest Toy ota dealer.
●Avoid abrupt maneuvering and
braking.
If the vehicle tires deteriorate,
you could lose control of the
steering wheel or the brakes.
■If a blowout or sudden air
leakage should occur
The tire pressure warning system
may not activate immediately.
■Maintenance of the tires
Each tire, includi ng the spare (if
provided), should be checked
monthly when cold and inflated to
the inflation pressure recom-
mended by the vehicle manufac-
turer on the vehicle placard or tire
inflation pressure label (tire and
load information label). (If your
vehicle has tires of a different size
than the size indicated on the
vehicle placard or tire inflation
pressure label [tire and load infor-
mation label], you should deter-
mine the proper tire inflation
pressure for those tires.)
As an added safety feature, your
vehicle has been equipped with a
tire pressure monitoring system
(TPMS-tire pressure warning sys-
tem) that illuminates a low tire
pressure telltale (tire pressure
warning light) w hen one or more
of your tires is significantly
under-inflated. Accordingly, when
the low tire pressure telltale (tire
pressure warning light) illumi-
nates, you should stop and check
your tires as soon as possible,
and inflate them to the proper
pressure. Driving on a signifi-
cantly under-inflated tire causes
the tire to overhea t and can lead
to tire failure. Under-inflation also
reduces fuel efficiency and tire
tread life, and may affect the vehi-
cle’s handling and stopping ability.
WARNING
Please note that the TPMS (tire
pressure warning system) is not a
substitute for proper tire mainte-
nance, and it is the driver’s
responsibility to m aintain correct
tire pressure, even if under-infla-
tion has not reached the level to
trigger illumination of the TPMS
low tire pressure te lltale (tire pres-
sure warning light).
4667-2. Steps to take in an emergency
Your vehicle has also been
equipped with a TPMS (tire pres-
sure warning system) malfunc-
tion indicator to indicate when the
system is not opera ting properly.
The TPMS (tire pressure warning
system) malfunction indicator is
combined with the low tire pres-
sure telltale (tire pressure warning
light). When the system detects a
malfunction, the telltale will flash
for approximately one minute and
then remain continuously illumi-
nated. This sequence will con-
tinue upon subsequent vehicle
start-ups as long as the malfunc-
tion exists. When the malfunction
indicator is illuminated, the sys-
tem may not be able to detect or
signal low tire pressure as
intended.
TPMS (tire pressure warning sys-
tem) malfunctions may occur for a
variety of reasons, including the
installation of replacement or
alternate tires or wheels on the
vehicle that prevent the TPMS
(tire pressure warning system)
from functioning properly. Always
check the TPMS (tire pressure
warning system) malfunction tell-
tale after replacing one or more
tires or wheels on your vehicle to
ensure that the r eplacement or
alternate tires and wheels allow
the TPMS (tire pressure warning
system) to continue to function
properly.
NOTICE
■To ensure the tire pressure
warning system operates
properly
Do not install tires with different
specifications or makers, as the
tire pressure warning system may
not operate properly.
If a war ning message
is displayed
The multi-information dis-
play shows warnings of sys-
tem malfunctions,
incorrectly performed oper-
ations, and messages that
indicate a need for mainte-
nance. When a message is
shown, perform the correc-
tion procedure appropriate
to the message.
Additionally, if a warning
light comes on or flashes at
the same time that a warn-
ing message is displayed,
take the appropriate correc-
tive action for the warning
light. ( P.456)
If a warning message is dis-
played again after the
appropriate actions have
been performed, contact
your Toyota dealer.

WARNING
■Using the tire jack
Observe the following precau-
tions.
Improper use of the tire jack may
cause the vehicle to suddenly fall
off the jack, leading to death or
serious injury.
●Do not use the tire jack for any
purpose other than replacing
tires or installing and removing
tire chains.
●Only use the tire jack that
comes with this vehicle for
replacing a flat tire.
Do not use it on other vehicles,
and do not use other tire jacks
for replacing tires on this vehi-
cle.
4727-2. Steps to take in an emergency
When replacing tires on a vehi-
cle with wheel lock nuts, use the
following procedures to remove
and install the wheel lock nuts.
The wheel lock key is stored in
the tray inside the luggage com- partment. Always return the
wheel lock key to its original
position after use, so that it does
not get lost. (
P.472)
■Removal
For ease of removal, the wheel
lock nut should always be the
first one loosened.
1 Place the wheel lock key on
top of the wheel lock nut,
turning until the wheel lock
key and wheel lock nut pat-
terns engage.
2 Place the wheel nut wrench
on the wheel lock key, and
while applying pressure on
the wheel lock key, loosen
the wheel lock nut.
■Installation
For ease of installation, the
wheel lock nut should always be
the last one tightened.
1 By hand, install a wheel lock
nut on each wheel.
2 Place the wheel lock key on
top of the wheel lock nut,
turning until the wheel lock
key and wheel lock nut pat-
terns engage.
3 Place the wheel nut wrench
on the wheel lock key, and
while applying pressure on
the wheel lock key, tighten
the wheel lock nut to the rec-
ommended torque.
WARNING
●Put the jack prope rly in its 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.
●When lowering the vehicle,
make sure that there is no-one
near the vehicle. If there are
people nearby, warn them
vocally before lowering.
