4747-2. Steps to take in an emergency
WARNING
As an added safety feature, your
vehicle has been equipped with a
tire pressure m onitoring system
(TPMS-tire pressure warning sys-
tem) that illuminates a low tire
pressure telltale (tire pressure
warning light) when one or more
of your tires is significantly under-
inflated. Accordingly, when the
low tire pressure telltale (tire pres-
sure warning light) illuminates,
you should stop and check your
tires as soon as possible, and
inflate them to the proper pres-
sure. Driving on a significantly
under-inflated tire causes the tire
to overheat 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 abil-
ity.
Please note that the TPMS (tire
pressure warning system) is not a
substitute for pro per tire mainte-
nance, and it is the driver’s
responsibility to maintain correct
tire pressure, even if under-infla-
tion has not reach ed the level to
trigger illumination of the TPMS
low tire pressure telltale (tire pres-
sure warning light).
Your vehicle has also been
equipped with a TPMS (tire pres-
sure warning system) malfunc-
tion indicator to indicate when the
system is not operating 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 te lltale 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 ab le 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 replacement 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 manufacturers
as the tire pressure warning sys-
tem may not operate properly.

If you have a flat tire
(vehicles without
spare tire)
Your vehicle is not
equipped with a spare tire,
but instead is equipped with
an emergency tire puncture
repair kit. A puncture
caused by a nail or screw
passing through the tire
tread can be repaired tem-
porarily using the emer-
gency tire puncture repair
kit. (The kit contains a bottle
of sealant. The sealant can
be used only once to tempo-
rarily repair one tire without
removing the nail or screw
from the tire.) Depending on
the damage condition of the
flat tire, it may not be able to

kit. (
P.481)
After temporarily repairing
the tire with the kit, have the
tire repaired or replaced by
your Toyota dealer.
WARNING
■If you have a flat tire
Do not continue driving with a flat
tire.
Driving even a short distance with
a flat tire can damage the tire and
the wheel beyond repair, which
could result in an accident.
Driving with a flat tire may cause a
circumferential groove on the side
wall.
In such a case, the tire may
explode when using a repair kit.

tires to not be repaired properly.
■Precautions for use of the
sealant
●Ingesting the sealant is hazard-
ous to your health. If you ingest
sealant, consume as much
water as possible, and then
immediately consult a doctor.
●If sealant gets in eyes or
adheres to skin, immediately
wash it off with water. If discom-
