⬛When the electric power steering system warning light comes on
When the light comes on yellow, the assist to the power steering is restricted.

dling operations of the steering wheel become extremely heavy. When steer-
ing wheel operations are heavier than us ual, grip the steering wheel firmly and

⬛If the tire pressure warning light comes on (vehicles with a tire pressure
warning system)
Be sure to observe the following precaut ions. Failure to do so could cause a
loss of vehicle control and result in death or serious injury.
⚫Stop your vehicle in a safe place as soon as possible. Adjust the tire inflation
pressure immediately.
⚫If the tire pressure warning light come s on even after tire inflation 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 ha ve the flat tire repaired by the near-
est Toyota dealer.

could lose control of the steering wheel or the brakes.

pressure warning system)
The tire pressure warning system may not activate immediately.
