NOTICE
• A metal accessory
• A case or cover made of metal
• A case which ha s magnet in it
on the charging side of the por-
table device
●Electric wave type wireless
remote controls are being used
nearby
●The electronic key is not inside
the vehicle
●2 or more portable devices are
placed on the charging tray at
the same time
If charging is abnormal or the
operation indicator light contin-
ues to flash for any other reason,
the wireless charger may be mal-
functioning. Contact your Toyota
dealer.
■To prevent malfunctions and
data corruptions
●When charging, bringing a
credit, or other magnetic card,
or magnetic storage media
close to the charge area may
clear any stored data due to
magnetic influence. Also, do not
bring a wristwatch or other pre-
cision instrument close to the
charge area since doing so may
cause it to malfunction.
●Do not charge with a non-con-
tact IC card such as a transpor-
tation system IC card inserted
between the charging side of a
portable device and the charge
area. The IC chip may become
extremely hot and damage the
portable device or IC card. Be
especially careful not to charge
a portable device inside a case
or cover with a non-contact IC
card attached.
●Do not leave portable devices
inside the vehicle. The inside of
the vehicle can become hot in
extreme heat, which could
cause a malfunction.
■If the smartphone OS has
been updated
If the smartphone OS has been
updated to a newer version, its
charging specifications may have
changed significantly.
For details, check the information
on the manufacturer’s website.

wheels or wheel housings.
• If the tire inflation pressure is
extremely higher than the speci-
fied level.
• If the spare tire is in a location
subject to poor radio wave signal
reception.
*
• If wheel without the tire pressure warning valve and transmitter is
used.
• If the ID code on the tire pressure warning valves and transmitters is
not registered in the tire pressure
warning computer.
*: Vehicles with full-size spare tire
only
●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 will change in
accordance with th e conditions
under which it was initialized. For
this reason, the system may give a
warning even if the 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. Have tire pressure
warning valves and transmitter
ID codes registered by your Toy-
ota dealer. ( P.401)
■Replacing 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.

■When registering ID codes
●ID code registrati on is performed
while driving at a vehicle speed of
approximately 25 mph (40 km/h)
or more.
●Before performing ID code regis-
tration, make sure that no wheels
with tire pressure warning valve
and transmitters installed are near
the vehicle.
●Make sure to initi alize the tire
pressure warning system after
registering the ID codes. If the
system is initialized 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.
■Canceling ID code registration
●To cancel ID code registration
after it has been started, turn the
engine switch off before driving
the vehicle. If the vehicle is driven
after ID code registration is
started, to cancel registration, per-
form the ID code registration start
procedure again and turn the
engine switch off before driving.
●If ID code registration has been
canceled, the tire pressure warn-
ing light will blin k 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-
