◆Initializing the tire pressure warning system
■The tire pressure warning system must be initialized in the fol-
lowing circumstances:
● When rotating the tires.
● When the tire inflation pressure is changed such as when chang-
ing tire size. (When there are multiple specified pressures)
● After registeri ng the ID codes. ( P. 431)
When the tire pressure warning sy stem is initialized, the current tire
inflation pressure is set as the benchmark pressure.
■How to initialize the tire pressure warning system
Park the vehicle in s afe place and turn the engine switch off.
Initialization cannot be perfo rmed while the vehicle is moving.
Adjust the tire inflation pressure to the specified cold tire i nflation
pressure level. ( P. 531)
Make sure to adjust the tire pre ssure to the specified cold tire infla-
tion pressure level. The tire pressure warning system will oper ate
based on this pr essure level.
Turn the engine switch to ON.
Push and hold the tire pres-
sure warning reset switch
until the tire pressure warn-
ing light blinks 3 times.
A message is displayed on the
multi-information display. Also,
“- -” is displayed for inflation
pressure of each tire on the
multi-information display while
the tire pressure warning sys-
tem determines the position.

Drive straight (with occasional left and right turns) at approxi-
mately 25 mph (40 km/h) or more for approximately 10 to 30 min-
utes.
Initialization is complete when the position of each tire is determined
and the inflation pressure of ea ch tire is displayed on the multi-infor-
mation display.
Initialization may take longer than approximately 30 minutes in cer-
tain situations, such as when the vehicle is stopped for a long time at
traffic lights, etc. ( P. 435)
◆Registering ID codes
Every tire pressure warning valve and transmitter has a unique ID
code. When replacing a tire pressure warning valve and transmit ter,
it is necessary to register the ID codes.
To register the ID codes, perf orm the following procedure:
Press the tire pressure warn-
ing reset switch 3 times until
the tire pressure warning
light blinks slowly 3 times.
Then a message will be dis-
played on multi-information
display.
When registration is being per-
formed, the tire pressure warn-
ing light will blink for
approximately 1 minute then
illuminate and “- -” will be dis-
played for the inflation pres-
sure of each tire on the multi-
information display.

Drive straight (with occasional left and right turns) at approxi-
mately 25 mph (40 km/h) or more for approximately 10 to 30 min-
utes.
Registration is complete when the tire pressure warning light
turns off and the inflation pressure of each tire is displayed on the
multi-information display.
Registration may take longer t han approximately 30 minutes in
certain situations, such as when the vehicle is stopped for a long
time at traffic lights, etc. (
P. 435)
After registering the ID codes, make sure to initialize the tir e
pressure warning system. (
P. 4 3 0 )
■When to replace your vehicle’s tires
Tires should be replaced if:
●The treadwear indicators are showing on a tire.
●You have tire damage such as cuts, splits, cracks deep enough t o
expose the fabric, and bulges indicating internal damage
●A tire goes flat repeatedly or c annot be properly repaired due to the size
or location of a cut or other damage
If you are not sure, consult with your Toyota dealer.
■When replacing the tires and wheels
If the ID code of the tire press ure warning valve and transmitt er is not reg-
istered, the tire pressure warni ng system will not work properly. A f t e r d r i v -
ing for about 20 minutes, the tire pressure warning light blink s for 1
minute and stays on to indi cate a system malfunction.
■Tire life
Any tire over 6 years old must be checked by a qualified techni cian even
if it has seldom or never been u sed, or damage is not obvious.
■Routine tire inflation pressure checks
The tire pressure warning system does not replace routine tire inflation
pressure checks. Make sure to chec k tire inflation pressure as part of
your routine of daily vehicle checks.

Initializing the tire pressure warning system
Initialize the system
with the tire inflation pressure adjusted to the speci-
fied level.
■If the tread on snow tires wea rs down below 0.16 in. (4 mm)
The effectiveness of the tires as snow tires is lost.
■Situations in which the tire pressure warning system may not op er-
ate properly
●In the following cases, the tire pressure warning system may no t operate
properly.
• If non-genuine Toyota wheels are used.
• A tire has been replaced with a tire that is not an OE (Original Equip-
ment) tire.
• A tire has been replac ed with a tire that is not of the specif ied size.
• Tire chains, etc., are equipped.
• An auxiliary-supported ru n-flat tire is equipped.
• If a window tint that affects the radio wave signals is instal led.
• If there is a lot of snow or ice on the vehicle, particularly around the
wheels or wheel housings.
• If the tire inflation pressure is extremely higher than the sp ecified
level.
• If wheel without the tire pressure warning valve and transmitt er is
used.
• If the ID code on the tire pressure warning valves and transmi tters is
not registered in the tire pressure warning computer.
●Performance may be affected in the following situations.
• Near a TV tower, electric power plant, gas station, radio stat ion, large
display, airport or other facilit y that generates strong radio waves or
electrical noise
• When carrying a portable radio, cellular phone, cordless phone or
other wireless communication device
If tire position information is not correctly displayed due to the radio
wave conditions, the display may be corrected by driving and ch anging
the radio wave conditions.
●When the vehicle is parked, the time taken for the warning to s tart or go
off could be extended.
●When tire inflation pressure declines rapidly for example when a tire has
burst, the warning may not function.

The initialization operation
●Make sure to carry out initializ
ation after adjusting the tire inflation pres-
sure.
Also, make sure the tires are co ld before carrying out initialization or tire
inflation pressure adjustment.
●If you have accidentally turned the engine switch to OFF during initial-
ization, it is not necessary to press the reset switch again as initialization
will restart automatically when the engine switch has been turned to ON
for the next time.
●If you accidentally press the reset switch when initialization is not neces-
sary, adjust the tire inflation pressure to the specified level when the
tires are cold, and cond uct initialization again.
●While the position of each tire is being determined and the inf lation pres-
sures are not being displayed on the multi-information display, if the
inflation pressure of a tire drops, the tire pressure warning l ight will come
on.
■Warning performance of the tire pressure warning system
The warning of the tire pressu re warning system will change in accor-
dance with the conditions under which it was initialized. For t his reason,
the system may give a warning even if the tire pressure does no t reach a
low enough level, or if the pressure is higher than the pressur e that was
adjusted to when the sys tem was initialized.
■When initialization of the tire pressure warning system has fai led
Initialization may take longer to complete if the vehicle is driven on an
unpaved road. When performing ini tialization, drive on a paved road if
possible. Depending on the driving environment and condition of the tires,
initialization will be completed i n approximately 10 to 30 minutes. If initial-
ization is not complete after dr iving approximately 10 to 30 mi nutes, con-
tinue driving for a while.
If the inflation pressure of each tire is not displayed after d riving for
approximately 1 hour, perf orm the following procedure.
●Park the vehicle in a safe place for approximately 20 minutes. Then
drive straight (with occasional left and right turns) at approx imately
25 mph (40 km/h) or more for approximately 10 to 30 minutes.
However, in the following situatio ns, the tire inflation pressure will not be
recorded and the system will not operate properly. Perform initialization
again.
●When operating the tire pressure warning reset switch, the tire pressure
warning light does not blink 3 times.
●After performing initialization, t he tire pressure warning light blinks for
1 minute then stays on while driving about 20 minutes.
If the inflation pressure of eac h tire is still not displayed, have the vehicle
inspected by you r Toyota dealer.

WARNING
■When inspecting or replacing tires
Observe the following precautions to prevent accidents.
Failure to do so may cause damage to parts of the drive train as well as
dangerous handling characteristics, which may lead to an accide nt
resulting in death o r serious injury.
●Do not mix tires of different makes, models or tread patterns.
Also, do not mix tires of remarkably different treadwear.
●Do not use tire sizes other th an those recommended by Toyota.
●Do not mix differently constructed tires (radial, bias-belted o r bias-ply
tires).
●Do not mix summer, all season and snow tires.
●Do not use tires that have been used on another vehicle.
Do not use tires if you do not kn ow how they were used previous l y.
■When initializing the tire pressure warning system
Do not initialize tire pressure warning system without first ad justing the
tire inflation pressure to the sp ecified level. Otherwise, the tire pressure
warning light may not come on even if the tire inflation pressu re is low,
or it may come on when the tire inflation pressure is actually normal.

NOTICE
■Repairing or replacing tires, wheels, tire pressure warning valves,
transmitters and tire valve caps
●When removing or fitting the wheels, tires or the tire pressure warning
valves and transmitters, contact your Toyota dealer as the tire pres-
sure warning valves and transmitters may be damaged if not handled
correctly.
●Make sure to install the tire val ve caps. If the tire valve caps are not
installed, water could enter the tire pressure warning valves a nd the
tire pressure warning valves could be bound.
●When replacing tire valve caps, do not use tire valve caps othe r than
those specified. The cap may become stuck.
■To avoid damage to the tire pressure warning valves and transmi t-
ters
When a tire is repaired with liquid sealants, the tire pressure warning valve and transmitter may not operate properly. If a liquid sea lant is
used, contact your Toyota dealer or other qualified service shop as soon
as possible. Make sure to replace the tire pressure warning valve and
transmitter when replacing the tire. ( P. 429)
■Driving on rough roads
Take particular care when drivi ng on roads with loose surfaces or pot-
holes.
These conditions may cause losses in tire inflation pressure, reducing
the cushioning ability of the t ires. In addition, driving on ro ugh roads
may cause damage to the tires themselves, as well as the vehicl e’s
wheels and body.
■If tire inflation pressure of each tire becomes low while drivi ng
Do not continue driving, or your t ires and/or wheels may be ruined.
