Maintenance and care
Rotate the tires in the order
shown.Front
To equalize tire wear and extend
tire life, Toyota recommends that
tire rotation is c arried out at the
same interval as tire inspection.
Do not fail to initialize the tire pres-
sure warning system after tire rota-
tion.
Your vehicle is equipped with a
tire pressure warning system
that uses tire pressure warning
valves and transmitters to detect low tire inflation pressure before
serious problems arise.
The tire pressure warning sys-
tem of this vehicle adopts a
2-type warning system.
When “Adjust Pressure” is
displayed (Normal Warning)
The tire pressure warning light
comes on and a buzzer sounds
when the tire inflation pressure
becomes low due to natural air
leakage or outside temperature.
(Ways of coping: P.395, 434)
When “Immediately Check
tire when Safe” is displayed
(Emergency Warning)
The tire pressure warning light
comes on and a buzzer sounds
when the tire inflation pressure
becomes low suddenly due to a
blowout. (Ways of coping: P.395,
P.405)
However, the system may not be
able to detect sudden tire ruptures
(bursting, etc.).
The tire pressure detected by the
tire pressure warning system can
be displayed on the multi-informa-
tion display.
The unit can be changed.
NOTICE
■Driving on rough roads
Take particular care when driving
on roads with loose surfaces or
potholes.
These conditions may cause
losses in tire inf lation pressure,
reducing the cushio ning ability of
the tires. In addit ion, driving on
rough roads may cause damage
to the tires themselves, as well as
the vehicle’s wheels and body.

• If the tire inflation pressure is
extremely higher than the speci-
fied level.
• If wheel without tire pressure
warning valves a nd transmitters
are used.
• If the ID code on the tire pressure
warning valves and transmitters 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 station,
large display, airpo rt or other facil-
ity 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
changing the radio wave condi-
tions.
●When the vehicle is parked, the
time taken for the warning to start
or go off could be extended.
●When tire inflation pressure
declines rapidly for example when
a tire has burst, the warning may
not function.
■Warning performance of the tire
pressure warning system
The warning of the tire pressure
warning system w ill change in
accordance with the conditions
under which it was initialized. For
this reason, the system may give a
warning even if th e tire pressure
does not reach a low enough level,
or if the pressure is higher than the
pressure that was adjusted to when
the system was initialized.
When replacing tires or wheels,
tire pressure warning valves and
transmitters must also be
installed.
When new tire pressure warning
valves and transmitters are
installed, new ID codes must be
registered in the tire pressure
warning computer and the tire
pressure warning system must
be initialized. ( P.358)
■When replacing the tires and
wheels
If the ID code of the tire pressure
warning valve and tr ansmitter is not
registered, the tire pressure warning
system will not work properly. After
driving for about 20 minutes, the tire
pressure warning light blinks for 1
minute and stays on to indicate a
system malfunction.

■Repairing or replacing tires,
wheels, tire pressure warn-
ing valves, transmitters and
tire valve caps
●When removing or fitting the
wheels, tires or the tire pressure
warning valves and transmit-
ters, contact your Toyota dealer
as the tire pr essure warning
valves and transmitters may be
damaged if not handled cor-
rectly.
●Make sure to install the tire
valve caps. If the tire valve caps
are not installed, water could
enter the tire pressure warning
valves and the tire pressure
warning valves could be bound.
●When replacing ti re valve caps,
do not use tire valve caps other
than those specified. The cap
may become stuck.
■To avoid damage to the tire
pressure warning valves and
transmitters
When a tire is repaired with liquid
sealants, the tire pressure warn-
ing valve and transmitter may not
operate properly. If a liquid seal-
ant 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 replaci ng the tire. (P.355)

Drive straight (with occa-
sional left and right turns) at
approximately 25 mph (40
km/h) or more for approxi-
mately 10 to 30 minutes.
When initialization is complete, the
inflation pressure of each tire will be
displayed on the multi-information
display.
Even if the vehicle is not driven at
approximately 25 mph (40 km/h) or
more, initialization can be com-
pleted by driving for a long time.
However, if initialization does not
complete after driving for 1 hour or
more, park the vehicle in a safe
place for approximately 20 minutes
and then drive the vehicle again.
■When initializing
●Initialization is p erformed while
driving at a veh icle speed of
approximately 25 mph (40 km/h)
or more.
●Make sure to carry out initializa-
tion after adjusting the tire inflation
pressure.
Also, make sure the tires are cold
before carrying out initialization or
tire inflation pressure adjustment.
●The tire pressure warning system
can be initialized by yourself, but
depending on the driving condi-
tions and driving environment, ini-
tialization may take some time to
complete.
■The initialization operation
●If you have accidentally turned the
engine switch to OFF during ini-
tialization, it is not necessary to
restart the initialization again as
initialization will re start automati-
cally when the engine switch has
been turned to ON for the next
time.
●If you accidentally perform initial-

3586-3. Do-it-yourself maintenance
ization when initialization is not
necessary, adjust the tire inflation
pressure to the specified level
when the tires are cold, and con-
duct initialization again.
●While the position of each tire is
being determined and the inflation
pressures are not being displayed
on the multi-information display, if
the inflation pres sure of a tire
drops, the tire pressure warning
light will come on.
■If the tire pressure warning sys-
tem is not initialized properly
●In the following situations, initial-
ization may take longer than usual
to be completed or may not be
possible. Normally, initialization
completes within approximately
30 minutes.
• Vehicle is not driven at approxi- mately 25 mph ( 40 km/h) or more
• Vehicle is driven on unpaved
roads
• Vehicle is driven near other vehi- cles and system cannot recog-
nize tire pressure warning valve
and transmitters of your vehicle
over those of other vehicles.
• If the vehicle is driven in heavy traffic or another situation where
other vehicles are driven close by,
it may take time for the system to
recognize the tire pressure warn-
ing valve and tran smitters of your
vehicle over those of other vehi-
cles.
●If initialization does not complete
after driving for 1 hour or more,
park the vehicle in a safe place for
approximately 20 minutes and
then drive the vehicle again.
●If the vehicle is reversed during
initialization, the data up to that
point is reset, so perform the ini-
tialization procedure again from
the beginning.
●In the following situations, initial-
ization will not be started or was
not completed properly and the
system will not operate properly. Perform the initialization proce-
dure again.
• If, when attempting to start initial-
ization, the tire pressure warning
light does not blink 3 times.
• If, when the veh icle has been
driven for about 20 minutes after
performing initialization, the tire
pressure warning light blinks for
approximately 1 minute and then
illuminates.
●If the inflation pr essure of each
tire is still not displayed, have the
vehicle inspected by your Toyota
dealer.
Every tire pressure warning
valve and transmitter has a
unique ID code. When replacing
a tire pressure warning valve
and transmitter, it is necessary
to register the ID code.
When registering the ID codes,
perform the following procedure.
1 Park the vehicle in a safe
place, wait for approximately
20 minutes, and then start
the engine.
WARNING
■When initializing the tire pres-
sure warning system
Do not initializing tire inflation
pressure without f irst adjusting
the tire inflation pressure to the
specified level. Otherwise, the tire
pressure warning light may not
come on even if the tire inflation
pressure is low, or it may come on
when the tire inflation pressure is
actually normal.

■When registering ID codes
●ID code registration is performed
while driving at a vehicle speed of
approximately 25 mph (40 km/h)
or more.
●Before performin g ID code regis-
tration, make sure that no wheels
with tire pressur e warning valve
and transmitters installed are near
the vehicle.
●Make sure to initialize the tire
pressure warning system after
registering the ID codes. If the
system is initializ ed before regis-
tering the ID codes, the initialized
values will be invalid.
●ID codes can be registered by
yourself, but depending on the
driving conditions and driving
environment, registration may
take some time to complete.
●As the tires will be warm when
registration is completed, make
sure to allow the tires to cool
before performing initialization.
■Canceling ID code registration
●To cancel ID code registration
after it has been started, select
“Identify Wheel” o n the multi-infor-
mation display and press and hold
again.
●If ID code registration has been
canceled, the tire pressure warn-
ing light will blink for approxi-
mately 1 minute when the engine switch is turned to ON and then
illuminate. The tire pressure warn-
ing system will be operational
when the tire pressure warning
light turns off.
●If the warning lig
ht does not turn
off even after several minutes
have elapsed, ID code registration
may not have been canceled cor-
rectly. To cancel registration, per-
form the ID code registration start
procedure again and then turn the
engine switch off before driving.
■If ID codes are not registered
properly
In the following situations, ID code
registration may take longer than
usual to be completed or may not be
possible. Normally, registration com-
pletes within appr oximately 30 min-
utes.
●Vehicle is not parked for approxi-
mately 20 minutes or more before
driving
●Vehicle is not driven at approxi-
mately 25 mph (40 km/h) or more

■Instructions for checking tire
inflation pressure
When checking tire inflation pres-
sure, observe the following:
●Check only when the tires are
cold.
If your vehicle has been parked for
at least 3 hours or has not been
driven for more tha n 1 mile or 1.5
km, you will get an accurate cold
tire inflation pressure reading.
●Always use a tire pressure gauge.
It is difficult to judge if a tire is
properly inflated based only on its
appearance.
●It is normal for the tire inflation
pressure to be higher after driving
as heat is generated in the tire. Do
not reduce tire inflation pressure
after driving.
●Never exceed the vehicle capacity
weight.
Passengers and luggage weight
should be placed so that the vehi-
cle is balanced.
WARNING
■Proper inflation is critical to
save tire performance
Keep your tires properly inflated.
If the tires are not properly
inflated, the following conditions
may occur which could lead to an
accident resulting in death or seri-
ous injury:
●Excessive wear
●Uneven wear
●Poor handling
●Possibility of blowouts resulting
from overheated tires
●Air leaking from between tire
and wheel
●Wheel deformation and/or tire
damage
●Greater possibi lity of tire dam-
age while driving (due to road
hazards, expansion joints,
sharp edges in the road, etc.)
NOTICE
■When inspecting and adjust-
ing tire inflation pressure
Be sure to put the tire valve caps
back on.
If a valve cap is no t installed, dirt
or moisture may get into the valve
and cause an air leak, resulting in
decreased tire inflation pressure.
