●If ID code registration has been can- celed, the tire pressure warning light
will blink for approximately 1 minute when the engine switch is turned to ON mode and then illuminate. The tire
pressure warning system will be oper- ational when the tire pressure warning light turns off.
●If the warning light does not turn off even after several minutes have
elapsed, ID code registration may not have been canceled correctly. To can-cel registration, perform the ID code
registration start procedure again and then turn the engine switch off before driving.
■If ID codes are not registered prop-
erly
●In the following situations, ID code
registration may take longer than usual to be completed or may not be possible. (Usually, the vehicle will
need to be driven for approximately 10 to 30 minutes to complete ID code registration.)
If ID code registration is not complete after driving for approximately 30 min-utes, continue driving for a while.
• If the vehicle is driven on an unpaved road, it may take longer than normal to complete registration.
• If the vehicle is backed up while per- forming registration, data collected during registration will be cleared, and
it will take longer than normal to com- plete.• If the vehicle is driven in heavy traffic
or another situation where other vehi- cles are driven close by, it may take time for the system to recognize the
tire pressure warning valve and trans- mitters of your vehicle over those of other vehicles.
• If a wheel with a tire pressure warning valve and transmitter installed is inside or near the vehicle, registration
of the ID codes for the installed
wheels may not be possible.
If ID registration is not complete after
driving for approximately 1 hour, park
the vehicle in a safe place for approxi-
mately 20 minutes and then perform the
ID code registration procedure again.
●In the following situations, ID code registration will not be started or was
not completed properly and the sys- tem will not operate properly. Perform the ID code registration procedure
again. • If, when attempting to start ID code registration, the tire pressure warning
light does not blink slowly 3 times. • If, when the vehicle has been driven for about 10 minutes after performing
ID code registration, the tire pressure warning light blinks for approximately 1 minute and then illuminates.
●If ID code registration cannot be com-pleted after performing the above pro-
cedure, contact any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
Your vehicle is equipped with tire
pressure warning system with the
function to have ID codes regis-
tered for a second wheel set, for
example a winter set, by any autho-
rized Toyota retailer or Toyota
authorized repairer, or any reliable
repairer.
After registration of a second wheel
set, either of these two wheel sets
can be selected for usage with the
tire pressure warning system.

Maintenance and care
■Effects of incorrect tire inflation pressure
Driving with incorrect tire inflation pres- sure may result in the following:
●Reduced safety
●Damage to the drive train
●Reduced tire life due to wear
●Reduced fuel economy
●Reduced driving comfort and poor
handling
If a tire needs frequent inflating, have it checked by any authorized Toyota
retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
■Instructions for checking tire infla-tion pressure
When checking tire inflation pressure, 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 1.5 km or 1 mile, 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 pres-
sure to be higher after driving as heat is generated in the tire. Do not reduce
tire inflation pressure after driving.
●Passengers and luggage weight
should be placed so that the vehicle 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 serious 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 dam-age
●Greater possibility of tire damage while driving (due to road hazards,
expansion joints, sharp edges on the road, etc.)
NOTICE
■When inspecting and adjusting
tire inflation pressure
Be sure to put the tire valve caps back on.
If a valve cap is not installed, dirt or moisture may get into the valve and cause an air leak, resulting in
decreased tire inflation pressure.
