2022 TOYOTA HIGHLANDER power steering

4657-2. Steps to take in an emergency
7
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).

4687-2. Steps to take in an emergency
■If “Engine Stopped Steering
Power Low” is displayed
This message is displayed if the
engine is stopped while driving.
When steering wheel operations are
heavier than usual, grip the steering
wheel firmly and operate it using
more force th an usual.
■If “Shift to P when Parked” is
displayed
This message is displayed when the
driver’s door is opened without turn-
ing the engine switch off with the
shift lever in any position other than
P. Change the shift lever to P.
■If “Auto Power OFF to Conserve
Battery” is displayed
Power was cut off due to the auto-
matic power off function. Next time
when starting the engine, increase
the engine speed slightly and main-
tain that level for approximately 5
minutes to recha rge the battery.
■If “Headlight System Malfunc-
tion Visit Your Dealer” is dis-
played
The following systems may be mal-
functioning. Have the vehicle
inspected by your Toyota dealer
immediately.
●The LED headlight system (if AFS
[Adaptive Front-lighting System]
equipped)
●AFS (Adaptive Fr ont-lighting Sys-
tem) (if equipped)
●The automatic headlight leveling
system (if equipped)
●Automatic High Beam
■If “Radar Cruise Control
Unavailable” is displayed
The dynamic radar cruise control
with full-speed range system cannot
be used temporarily. Use the system
when it becomes available again.
■If a message that indicates the
malfunction of front camera is
displayed
The following systems may be sus-
pended until the problem shown in
the message is resolved. (P.233,
462)
●PCS (Pre-Collision system)
●LTA (Lane Tracing Assist)
●Automatic High Beam
●RSA (Road Sign Assist) (if
equipped)
●Dynamic radar cruise control with
full-speed range
■If a message that indicates the
malfunction of radar sensor is
displayed
The following systems may be sus-
pended until the problem shown in
the message is resolved. (P.233,
462)
●PCS (Pre-Collision system)
●LTA (Lane Tracing Assist)
●Dynamic radar cruise control with
full-speed range
■If “AWD System Overheated
Switching to 2WD Mode” or
“AWD System Overheated 2WD
Mode Engaged” is displayed
This message may be displayed
when driving under extremely high
load conditions.
Drive the vehicle at low speeds or
stop the vehicle in a safe place with
the engine running until the mes-
sage is cleared.
If the message is not cleared, have
the vehicle inspected by your Toyota
dealer.
■If “Check Fuel Cap” is dis-
played
The fuel tank cap is not properly
installed. Correctly install the fuel
tank cap.

5158-1. Specifications
8
Vehicle specifications
Grade C corresponds to a level of
performance which all passenger
car tires must meet under the Fed-
eral Motor Vehicle Safety Standard
No. 109.
Grades B and A represent higher
levels of performance on the labo-
ratory test wheel than the minimum
required by law. Warning: The temperature grades
of a tire assume tha
t it is properly
inflated and not overloaded.
Excessive speed, underinflation, or
excessive loading, either sepa-
rately or in combination, can cause
heat buildup and possible tire fail-
ure.

Maximum inflation pressure
The maximum cold inf lated pressure to
which a tire may be inflated, shown on the
sidewall of the tire
Recommended inflation pres-
sureCold tire inflation pressure recommended

Accessory weight
The combined weight (in excess of those
standard items which may be replaced) of
