WARNING
The engine compartment contains 
many mechanisms and fluids that 
may move suddenly, become hot, 
or become electrically energized. 
To avoid death or serious injury, 
observe the following precautions.
■When working on the engine 
compartment
●Keep hands, clothing and tools 
away from the moving fan and 
engine drive belt.
●Be careful not to touch the 
engine, radiator , exhaust mani-
fold, etc. right a fter driving as 
they may be hot . Oil and other 
fluids may also be hot.
●Do not leave anything that may 
burn easily, such as paper and 
rags, in the engine compart-
ment.
●Do not smoke, cause sparks or 
expose an open flame to fuel. 
Fuel fumes are flammable.
ItemsParts and tools●Be extremely cautious when 
working on the battery. It con-
tains poisonous and corrosive 
sulfuric acid.
■When working near the elec-
tric cooling fan or radiator 
grille
Be sure the engine switch is off.
With the engine switch in ON, the 
electric cooling fa n may automati-
cally start to run if the air condi-
tioning is on and/or the coolant 
temperature is high. ( P.278)
■Safety glasses
Wear safety glasses to prevent 
flying or falling material, fluid 
spray, etc. from getting in your 
eyes.
NOTICE
■If you remove the air cleaner 
filter
Driving with the air cleaner filter 
removed may cause excessive 
engine wear due to  dirt in the air. 

3006-3. Do-it-yourself maintenance
Tire pressure gauge
1 Remove the tire valve cap.
2 Press the tip of the tire pres-
sure gauge onto the tire 
valve.
3 Read the pressure using the 
gauge gradations.
4 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 
deflate.
5 After completing the tire infla-
tion pressure measurement 
and adjustment, apply soapy 
water to the valve and check 
for leakage.
6 Put the tire valve cap back 
on.
■Tire inflation pressure check 
interval
You should check tire inflation pres-
sure every two weeks, or at least 
once a month. Do not forget to 
check the spare.
■Effects of incorrect tire inflation 
pressure
Driving with incorrect tire inflation 
pressure may result in the 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.
■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 than 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 j udge 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

When trouble arises
■Brake hold operated indicator
■Warning buzzer
In some cases, the buzzer may not 
be heard due to being in a noisy 
location or audio sound.
■Front passenger detection sen-
sor, seat belt reminder and 
warning buzzer
●If luggage is placed on the front 
passenger seat, the front passen-
ger detection sensor may cause 
the warning light to flash and the 
warning buzzer to sound even if a 
passenger is not sitting in the 
seat.
●If a cushion is placed on the seat, 
the sensor may n ot detect a pas-
senger, and the warning light may 
not operate properly.
■SRS warning light
This warning light system monitors 
the airbag sensor assembly, front 
impact sensors, side impact sensors 
(front door), side  impact sensors 
(front), driver’s se at position sensor, 
driver’s seat belt buckle switch, front 
passenger seat belt buckle switch, 
“AIR BAG ON” indicator light, “AIR 
BAG OFF” indicator light, seat belt 
pretensioners, airbags, intercon-
necting wiring and  power sources. 
(  P.31)
■If the malfunction indicator 
lamp comes on while driving
First check the following:
●Is the fuel t ank empty?
If it is, fill the f uel tank immediately.
●Is the fuel tank cap loose?
If it is, tighten it securely.
The light will go o ff after several 
driving trips. If the light does not go off even after 
several trips, con
tact your Toyota 
dealer as soon as possible.
■Electric power steering system 
warning light (warning buzzer)
When the battery charge becomes 
insufficient or the  voltage temporar-
ily drops, the electric power steering 
system warning light may come on 
and the warning buzzer may sound.
■When the tire pressure warning 
light comes on
Inspect the tires to check if a tire is 
punctured.
If a tire is punctured:  P.334, 346
If none of the tires are punctured:
Turn the engine switch off then turn 
it to ON. Check if the tire pressure 
warning light com es on or blinks.
If the tire pressure warning light 
blinks for approximately 1 minute 
then stays on
There may be a malfunction in the 
tire pressure warning system. Have 
the vehicle inspected by your Toyota 
dealer immediately.
If the tire pressur e warning light 
comes on
1 After the temperature of the tires 
has lowered sufficiently, check 
the inflation pressure of each tire 
and adjust them to the specified 
level.
2 If the warning light does not turn 
off even after several minutes 
have elapsed, check that the 
inflation pressure  of each tire is 
at the specified level and perform 
initialization. ( P.288)

When trouble arises
WARNING
■If a blowout or sudden air 
leakage should occur
The tire pressure warning system 
may not activate immediately.
■Maintenance of the tires
Each tire, including the spare (if 
provided), should be checked 
monthly when cold and inflated to 
the inflation pressure recom-
mended by the vehicle manufac-
turer on the vehicle placard or tire 
inflation pressure label (tire and 
load information label). (If your 
vehicle has tires of a different size 
than the size indicated on the 
vehicle placard or tire inflation 
pressure label [tire and load infor-
mation label], you should deter-
mine the proper tire inflation 
pressure for those tires.)
As an added safe ty 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 
pressure warning light) illumi-
nates, you should stop and check 
your tires as soon as possible, 
and inflate them to the proper 
pressure. Driving on a signifi-
cantly 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 ability.
Please note that the TPMS (tire 
pressure warning system) is not a 
substitute for proper tire mainte-
nance, and it is the driver’s 
responsibility to m aintain correct 
tire pressure, even  if under-infla-
tion has not reached the level to 
trigger illumination of the TPMS 
low tire pressure te lltale (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.
