Tire inflation pressure
■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 any authorized Toyota
retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
■ Instructions for checking tire inflation 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 appear-
ance.
● 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.
● Passengers and luggage weight should be placed so that the vehicle is bal-
anced.
Make sure to maintain proper tire inflation pressure. Tire infla-
tion pressure should be checked at least once per month. How-
ever, Toyota recommends that tire inflation pressure be checked
once every two weeks. ( P. 640)

5748-2. Steps to take in an emergency
HILUX_OM_OM0K789E_(EE)
WARNING
■If a warning light comes on or a warning buzzer sounds when a warn-
ing message is shown on the multi-information display (vehicles with
multi-information display)
Check and follow the message shown on the multi-information display. Fail-
ure to do so may result in death or serious injury.
■ If both the ABS and the brake system warning lights remain on
Stop your vehicle in a safe place immediately and contact any authorized
Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized r epairer, or any reliable repairer. The
vehicle will become extremely unstable during braking, and the ABS system
may fail, which could cause an accident resulting in death or serious injury.
NOTICE
■ If the malfunction indicator lamp comes on when the boost pressure in
the turbocharger is abnormally high (diesel engine)
Never drive at high speed or race the engine even after the lamp goes off.
■ If the fuel system warning light flashes (diesel engine)
Never drive the vehicle with the warn ing light flashing. Continued driving
with water accumulated in the fuel filter will damage the fuel injection pump.
