WARNING
QIf a warning light comes on or a
warning buzzer sounds when a warning message is shown on
the multi-information display*
Check and follow the message shown on the multi-information display.
Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.*: Warning lights illuminate in red or
yellow and the warning buzzer
beeps once or sounds continu-
ously.
QWhen the electric power steer- ing 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 operations of the steering wheel become extremely
heavy. If the steering wheel becomes heavier than usual when operating, hold firmly
and operate using more force than usual.
QIf 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.
OStop your vehicle in a safe place as soon as possible. Adjust the tire inflation pressure immediately.
OIf 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, change it with
the spare tire and have the flat tire repaired by the nearest authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized
repairer, or any reliable repairer.
OAvoid abrupt maneuvering and
braking. If the vehicle tires deterio- rate, you could lose control of the steering wheel or the brakes.
QIf a blowout or sudden air leak-age should occur
The tire pressure warning system may not activate immediately.
