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.
