3647-2. Steps to take in an emergency
system warning light may come on 
and the warning buzzer may sound.
■When the tire pressure warning 
light comes on (vehicles with a 
tire pressure warning system)
Inspect the tires to check if a tire is 
punctured.
If a tire is punctured:  P.370
If none of the tires are punctured:
Turn the engine switch off then turn 
it to ON. Check if the tire pressure 
warning light comes 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 pressure 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.318)
■The tire pressure warning light 
may come on due to natural 
causes (vehicles  with a tire 
pressure warning system)
The tire pressure  warning light may 
come on due to natural causes such 
as natural air leaks and tire inflation 
pressure changes caused by tem-
perature. In this case, adjusting the 
tire inflation pressure will turn off the 
warning light (after a few minutes).
■When a tire is replaced with a 
spare tire (vehicl es with a tire 
pressure warning system)
The compact spare tire is not 
equipped with a tire pressure warn-
ing valve and transmitter. If a tire  goes flat, the tire pressure warning 
light will not turn off even though the 
flat tire has been replaced with the 
spare tire. Replace the spare tire 
with the repaired tire and adjust the 
tire inflation pressure. The tire pres-
sure warning light will go off after a 
few minutes.
■Conditions that the tire pres-
sure warning system may not 
function properly (vehicles with 
a tire pressure warning system)
 P.315
WARNING
■If both the ABS and the brake 
system warning lights remain 
on
Stop your vehicle in a safe place 
immediately and contact your Toy-
ota dealer.
The vehicle will become 
extremely unstable during brak-
ing, and the ABS system may fail, 
which could cause an accident 
resulting in death o r 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 assis t to the power 
steering is lost and handling oper-
ations of the steering wheel 
become extremely heavy.
When steering wheel operations 
are heavier than usual, grip the 
steering wheel firmly and operate 
it using more fo rce than usual.
■If the tire pressure warning 
light comes on ( vehicles with 
a tire pressure warning sys-
tem)
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.

When trouble arises
WARNING
●Stop your vehicle in a safe place 
as soon as possible. Adjust the 
tire inflation pressure immedi-
ately.
●If the tire pressure warning light 
comes on even after tire infla-
tion 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 Toy ota dealer.
●Avoid abrupt maneuvering and 
braking.
If the vehicle tires deteriorate, 
you could lose control of the 
steering wheel or the brakes.
■If a blowout or sudden air 
leakage should occur (vehi-
cles with a tire pressure warn-
ing system)
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 safety feature, your 
vehicle has been equipped with a 
tire pressure monitoring system 
(TPMS-tire pressure warning sys-
tem) that illuminates a low tire 
pressure telltale (tire pressure 
warning light) w hen 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 overhea t 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. 

3707-2. Steps to take in an emergency
ately.
• “Smart Key System Malfunction”
●If any of the following messages 
are displayed on the multi-infor-
mation display, it may indicate a

WARNING
●Failure to follow these precau-
tions could cause the wheel 
nuts to loosen and the tire to fall 
off, resulting in death or serious 
injury.
• Have the wheel nuts tightened  with a torque wrench to 76 ft•lbf 
(103 N•m, 10.5 kgf•m) as soon 
as possible after changing 
wheels.
• Do not attach a heavily dam- aged wheel ornament, as it may 
fly off the whee l while the vehi-
cle is moving.
• When installing a tire, only use  wheel nuts that have been spe-
cifically designed for that wheel.
• If there are any cracks or defor- mations in the bolt screws, nut 
threads or bolt holes of the 
wheel, have the vehicle 
inspected by your Toyota 
dealer.

■The compact spare tire
●The compact spare tire is identi-
fied by the label “TEMPORARY  USE ONLY” on the tire sidewall. 
Use the compact spare tire tempo-
rarily, and only in an emergency.
●Make sure to check the tire infla-
tion pressure of the compact 
spare tire. (
P.397)
■When the compact spare tire is 
equipped
The vehicle becomes lower when 
driving with the compact spare tire 
compared to when driving with stan-
dard tires.
■After completing the tire 
change (vehicles with a tire 
pressure warning system)
The tire pressure warning system 
must be reset. ( P.318)
■When using the compact spare 
tire (vehicles with a tire pres-
sure warning system)
As the compact spare tire is not 
equipped with a tire pressure warn-
ing valve and transm itter, low infla-
tion pressure of t he spare tire will 
not be indicated by the tire pressure 
warning system. Also , if you replace 
the compact spare ti re after the tire 
pressure warning light comes on, 
the light remains on.
■If you have a flat  front tire on a 
road covered with snow or ice
Install the compact spare tire on one 
of the rear wheels  of the vehicle. 
Perform the  following steps and fit 
tire chains to the front tires:
1 Replace a rear tire with the com-
pact spare tire.
2 Replace the flat front tire with the 
tire removed from  the rear of the 
vehicle.
3 Fit tire chains to  the front tires.
