■Setting items
●Setting items are not selectable during driving and cannot be o perated.
Also, the settings screen is temporarily canceled in the follow ing situations.
• A warning message is displayed.
• The vehicle starts off.
● Settings for functions not equipped to the vehicle are not displayed.
● When  a  function  is  turned  off,  the  related  settings  for  that  fu nction  are  not
selectable.
■ Pop-up display
In  some  situations,  such  as  when  a  switch  operation  is  performe d,  a  pop-up
display will be temporarily displayed on the multi-information  display.
■ When disconnecting and reco nnecting battery terminals
The drive information will be reset.
■ Ending display
When  the  engine  switch  is  turned  off,  each  of  the  following  wil l  be  displayed
on  the  multi-information  display,  and  will  extinguish  after  app roximately
30 seconds.
● Distance traveled
● Average fuel economy
● Distance to empty
■ Tire inflation pressure (vehicles with tire pressure warning sy stem)
● It  may  take  a  few  minutes  to  display  the  tire  inflation  pressur e  after  the
engine  switch  is  turned  to  the  “ON”  position  (vehicles  without  a  smart  key
system)  or  IGNITION  ON  mode  (vehicles  with  a  smart  key  system).  It may
also  take  a  few  minutes  to  display  the  tire  inflation  pressure  after  inflation
pressure has been adjusted.
● “---”  may  be  displayed  if  the  tire  position  information  cannot  be  determined
due to unfavorable radio wave conditions.
● Tire inflation pressure changes with temperature. The displayed  values may
also be different from the values measured using a tire pressur e gauge.

Maintenance and care
Tire valve
Tire pressure gauge
Remove the tire valve cap.
Press the tip of the tire pressure gauge onto the tire valve.
Read the pressure using  the gauge gradations.
If the tire inflation pressure is not at the recommended level,  adjust
the pressure.
If you add too much air, press the center of the valve to defla te.
After  completing  the  tire  inflation  pressure  measurement  and
adjustment, apply soapy water to  the valve and check for leakage.
Put the tire valve cap back on.
■Tire inflation pressure check interval
You should check tire inflation p ressure every two weeks, or at least once
a month.
Do not forget to check the spare.
■Effects of incorrect tire inflation pressure
Driving with incorrec t tire inflation pressure may result in th e following:
●Reduced fuel economy
●Reduced driving comfort and poor handling
●Reduced tire life due to wear
●Reduced safety
●Damage to the drive train
If a tire needs frequent inflating , have it checked by your Toyota dealer.

4867-2. Steps to take in an emergency
■If the malfunction indicator lamp comes on while driving
First check the following:
●Is the fuel tank empty?
If it is, fill the fuel tank immediately.
● Is the fuel tank cap loose?
If it is, tighten it securely.
The light will go off after several driving trips.
If the light does not go off even after several trips, contact  your Toyota dealer
as soon as possible.
■
When the tire pressure warning  light comes on (if equipped)
Check the tire inflation pressure and adjust to the appropriate  level. Push-
ing the tire pressur e warning reset switch  will not turn off the tire pressure
warning light.
■The  tire  pressure  warning  light  may  come  on  due  to  natural  caus es
(if equipped)
The tire pressure warning light may come on due to natural caus es such
as  natural  air  leaks  and  tire  inflation  pressure  changes  caused  by tem-
perature. In this case, adjusting the tire inflation pressure w ill turn off the
warning light (after  several minutes).
■When a tire is replaced with a spare tire (vehicles with the ti re  pres-
sure warning system)
The  temporary  spare  tire  is  not  equipped  with  a  tire  pressure  w arning
valve and transmitter. If a tire goes flat, the tire pressure w arning light will
not turn off even though the flat tire has been replaced with t he temporary
spare  tire.  Replace  the  temporary  spare  tire  with  the  repaired  tire  and
adjust the tire inflation pressu re. The tire pressure warning l ight will go off
after several minutes.
■Conditions  that  the  tire  pressure  warning  system  may  not  functi on
properly (if equipped)
 P.   4 3 6
■If  the  tire  pressure  warning  light  frequently  comes  on  after  bl inking
for 1 minute (if equipped)
If  the  tire  pressure  warning  light  frequently  comes  on  after  bl inking  for  1
minute  when  the  engine  switch  is  turned  to  “ON”  position  (vehic les  with-
out  a  smart  key  system)  or  IGNITION  ON  mode  (vehicles  with  a  sm art
key system), have it checked  by your Toyota dealer.
■Warning buzzer
In  some  cases,  the  buzzer  may  not  be  heard  because  of  noisy  pla ce  or  an
audio sound.

When trouble arises
WARNING
■If both the ABS and the brake system warning lights remain on
Stop  your  vehicle  in  a  safe  place  immediately  and  contact  your  Toyota
dealer. The vehicle will become extremely unstable during braki ng, and the
ABS  system  may  fail,  which  could  cause  an  accident  resulting  in  death  or
serious injury.
■ If the tire pressure warning light comes on (if equipped)
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 infla-
tion pressure immediately. 
● If the tire pressure warning light comes on even after tire inf lation 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 Toyota dealer.
● Avoid abrupt maneuvering and braking. If the vehicle tires dete riorate, you
could lose control of the steering wheel or the brakes.
■ If a blowout or sudden air leakage should occur (vehicles with  the tire
pressure warning system)
The tire pressure warning system may not activate immediately.
■
Maintenance  of  the  tires  (vehicles  with  the  tire  pressure  warning
system)
Each tire, including the spare (if provided), should be checked  monthly
when  cold  and  inflated  to  the  inflation  pressure  recommended  by   the
vehicle  manufacturer  on  the  vehicle  placard  or  tire  inflation  p ressure
label  (tire  and  load  information  label).  (If  your  vehicle  has  t ires  of  a  dif-
ferent size than the size indicated on the vehicle placard or t ire inflation
pressure  label  [tire  and  load  information  label],  you  should  de termine
the proper tire inflation p ressure for those tires.)
As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been equipped with a tire
pressure monitoring system (TPMS-tire pressure warning system)  that
illuminates  a  low  tire  pressure  telltale  (tire  pressure  warning  light)
when  one  or  more  of  your  tires  is  significantly  under-inflated.  Accord-
ingly,  when  the  low  tire  pressure  telltale  (tire  pressure  warni ng  light)
illuminates, you should stop and check your tires as soon as po ssible,
and  inflate  them  to  the  proper  pressure.  Driving  on  a  significa ntly
under-inflated tire causes the tire to overheat and can lead to  tire fail-
ure. Under-inflation also reduces fuel efficiency and tire tread life, and
may affect the vehicle’s handling and stopping ability.

When trouble arises
Indicates  that  the  accelerator  and  brake  pedals
are  being  depressed  simultaneously,  and  the
Brake Override System is operating. (
P. 170)
 Release  the  accelerator   pedal  and  depress
the brake pedal.
(If equipped)
Indicates that the tire inflation pressure is low.
 Check  the  tire  inflation  pressure,  and
adjust to the appropriate level.
(Canada only)
Indicates that the washer fluid level is low.
Add washer fluid.
Indicates  that  remaining  fuel  is  approximately
3.2 gal. (12.0 L, 2.6 Imp.gal.) or less
 Refuel the vehicle.
