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.
■ When the electric power steering 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  extre mely
heavy.  When  steering  wheel  operations  are  heavier  than  usual,  grip  the
steering wheel firmly and operate it using more force than usua l.
■
If the tire pressure warning light comes on
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
inflation pressure immediately.
●If the tire pressure warning light comes on even after tire inf lation pres-
sure adjustment, it is probable that you have a flat tire. Chec k 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
The tire pressure warning system  may not activate immediately.

WARNING
■Maintenance of the tires
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.  Acco rdingly,
when  the  low  tire  pressure  telltale  (tire  pressure  warning  ligh t)  illumi-
nates,  you  should  stop  and  check  your  tires  as  soon  as  possible ,  and
inflate  them  to  the  proper  pressure.  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  lif e,  and  may
affect the vehicle’s handling and stopping ability.
Please note that the TPMS (tire pressure warning system) is not  a sub-
stitute for proper tire maintenance, and it is the driver’s res ponsibility to
maintain  correct  tire  pressure,  even  if  under-inflation  has  not   reached
the level to trigger illumination of the TPMS low tire pressure telltale (tire pressure warning light).
Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS (tire pressure  warn-
ing  system)  malfunction  indicato r  to  indicate  when  the  system  is  not
operating  properly. The TPMS  (tire  pressure  warning  system)  mal func-
tion indicator is combined with  the low tire pressure telltale (tire pressure
warning  light).  When  the  system  detects  a  malfunction,  the  tell tale  will
flash for approximately one minute and then remain continuously  illumi-
nated.  This  sequence  will  continue  upon  subsequent  vehicle  star t-ups
as long as the malfunction exists . When the malfunction indicator is illu-
minated,  the  system  may  not  be  able  to  detect  or  signal  low  tir e  pres-
sure as intended.
TPMS (tire pressure warning system) malfunctions may occur for  a vari-
ety of reasons, including the installation of replacement or alternate tires
or  wheels  on  the  vehicle  that  prevent  the TPMS  (tire  pressure  w arning
system)  from  functioning  properly. Always  check  the  TPMS  (tire  pres-
sure  warning  system)  malfunction  telltale  after  replacing  one  or  more
tires  or  wheels  on  your  vehicle  to  ensure  that  the  replacement  or  alter-
nate tires and wheels allow the TPMS (tire pressure warning system) to
continue to function properly.

When trouble arises
●Stop the vehicle in  a safe place on a hard, flat surface.
● Set the parking brake.
● Shift the shift lever to P.
● Stop the engine.
● Turn on the emergency flashers. ( P. 516)
If  you have a flat tire
Your  vehicle  is  equipped  with  a  spare  tire.  The  flat  tire  can  be
replaced with the spare tire.

WARNING
■If you have a flat tire
Do not continue driving with a flat tire.
Driving even a short distance wit h a flat tire can damage the tire and the
wheel beyond repair, which cou ld result in an accident.

When trouble arises
Remove any dirt or foreign mat-
ter  from  the  wheel  contact  sur-
face.
If  foreign  matter  is  on  the  wheel
contact  surface,  the  wheel  nuts
may loosen while the vehicle is in
motion,  causing  the  tire  to  come
off.
Install  the  tire  and  loosely  tighten  each  wheel  nut  by  hand  by
approximately the same amount.
When  replacing  a  steel  wheel
with  a  steel  wheel,  tighten  the
wheel  nuts  until  the  tapered
portion  comes  into  loose  con-
tact with the disc wheel seat.
When  replacing  an  aluminum
wheel  with  a  steel  wheel,
tighten  the  wheel  nuts  until  the
tapered  portion  comes  into
loose  contact  with  the  disc
wheel seat.

Firmly  tighten  each  wheel  nut
two  or  three  times  in  the  order
shown in the illustration.
Vehicles  with  wheel  locks:
Tighten  the  wheel  lock  using  the
wheel  lock  key  after  tightening
the other wheel nuts.
Tightening torque:
76 ft•lbf (103 N•m, 10.5 kgf•m)
Stow the flat tire, tire jack and all tools.
■The compact spare tire
●The  compact  spare  tire  is  identified  by  the  label  “TEMPORARY  US E
ONLY” on the tire sidewall.
Use the compact spar e tire temporarily, and only in an emergenc y.
●Make sure to check the tire inflation pressure of the compact spare tire. 
(  P.   5 8 4 )
■When using the compact spare tire
As  the  compact  spare  tire  is  not  equipped  with  a  tire  pressure  warning
valve  and  transmitter,  low  inflation  pressure  of  the  spare  tire   will  not  be
indicated  by  the  tire  pressure  warning  system.  Also,  if  you  rep lace  the
compact spare tire after the tire pressure warning light comes  on, the light
remains on.
■When the compact spa re tire is equipped
When driving with the compact spare tire installed, the vehicle  height will
be different than when driving with standard tires.
■If you have a flat front tire on a road covered with snow or ic e (vehi-
cles with 16 or  17-inch wheels)
Install  the  compact  spare  tire  on  one  of  the  rear  wheels  of  the   vehicle.
Perform the following steps and f it tire chains to the front tires:
Replace a rear tire with the compact spare tire.
Replace the flat front tire with the tire removed from the rear  of the vehi-
cle.
Fit tire chains to the front tires.

NOTICE
■Be  careful  when  driving  over  bumps  with  the  compact  spare  tire
installed on the vehicle.
The  vehicle  becomes  lower  when  driving  with  the  compact  spare  tire
compared  to  when  driving  with  standard  tires.  Be  careful  when  d riving
over uneven road surfaces.
■Driving with tire chains and the compact spare tire
Do not fit tire chains to  the compact spare tire.
Tire  chains  may  damage  the  vehicle  body  and  adversely  affect  dr iving
performance.
■When replacing the tires
When  removing  or  fitting  the  wheels,  tires  or  the  tire  pressure   warning
valve  and  transmitter,  contact  your  Toyota  dealer  as  the  tire  p ressure
warning valve and transmitter  may be damaged if not handled correctly.
■To  avoid  damage  to  the  tire  pressure  warning  valve  and  transmit -
ters
When  a  tire  is  repaired  with  liqui d  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. 475)
