Tire pressure warning system✽
Your vehicle is equipped with a tire pressure warning system that uses tire
pressure warning valves and transmitters to detect low tire inflation pres-
sure before serious problems arise.
If the tire pressure drops below a predetermined level, the driver is
warned by a warning light. (➞P. 382)
Installing tire pressure warning valves and transmitters
(vehicles with a tire pressure warning system)
When replacing tires or wheels, tire pressure warning valves and transmit-
ters must also be installed.
When new tire pressure warning valv es 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 pres-
sure warning valve and transmitter ID codes registered by your Toyota
dealer. ( ➞P. 329)

Registering ID codes (vehicles with a tire pressure warning system)
The tire pressure warning valve and transmitter is equipped with a unique
ID code. When replacing a tire pressure warning valve and transmitter, it
is necessary to register the ID code. Have the ID code registered by your
Toy o t a d e a l e r.
⬛When to replace your vehicle’s tires
Tires should be replaced if:
⚫The treadwear indicators are showing on a tire.
⚫You have tire damage such as cuts, spli ts, cracks deep enough to expose the
fabric, and bulges indicating internal damage
⚫A tire goes flat repeatedly or cannot be properly repaired due to the size or
location of a cut or other damage
If you are not sure, consult with your Toyota dealer.
⬛Replacing tires and wheels (vehicles wi th a tire pressure warning system)
If the ID code of the tire pressure war ning valve and transmitter is not regis-
tered, the tire pressure warning system will not work properly. After driving for
about 10 minutes, the tire pressure war ning light blinks for 1 minute and stays
on to indicate a system malfunction.
⬛Tire life
Any tire over 6 years old must be checked by a qualified technician even if it
has seldom or never been used or damage is not obvious.
⬛Routine tire inflation pr essure checks (vehicles with a tire pressure
warning system)
The tire pressure warning system does not replace routine tire inflation pres-
sure checks. Make sure to check tire inflation pressure as part of your routine
of daily vehicle checks.
⬛Initializing the tire pressure warning system (vehicles with a tire pressure
warning system)
Initialize the system with the tire inflation pressure adjusted to the specified
level.

⬛Situations in which the tire pressure warning system may not operate properly✽
⚫In the following cases, the tire pressure warning system may not operate
properly.
⦁ If non-genuine Toyota wheels are used.
⦁A tire has been replaced with a tire that is not an OE (Original Equipment) tire.
⦁A tire has been replaced with a tire that is not of the specified size.
⦁ Tire chains, etc., are equipped.
⦁ An auxiliary-supported run-flat tire is equipped.
⦁ If a window tint that affects the radio wave signals is installed.
⦁ If there is a lot of snow or ice on th e vehicle, particularly around the wheels
or wheel housings.
⦁ If the tire inflation pressure is extr emely higher than the specified level.
⦁ If the spare tire is in a location subj ect to poor radio wave signal reception.
⦁ If a large metallic object which can in terfere with signal reception is put
near the spare tire.
⦁ If a wheel, not equipped with a tire pressure warning valve and transmit-
ter, is used.
⦁ If the ID code on the tire pressure warning valves and transmitters is not
registered in the tire pressure warning computer.
⚫Performance may be affected in the following situations.
⦁Near a TV tower, electric power plant, gas station, radio station, large display,
airport or other facility that generates strong radio waves or electrical noise
⦁ When carrying a portable radio, cellul ar phone, cordless phone or other
wireless communication device
⚫When the vehicle is parked, the time ta ken for the warning to start or go off
could be extended.
⚫When tire inflation pressure declin es rapidly for example when a tire has
burst, the warning may not function.
⬛The initialization operation (vehicles with the tire pressure warning system)
⚫Make sure to carry out init ialization after adjusting th e tire inflation pressure.
Also, make sure the tires are cold befo re carrying out initialization or tire
inflation pressure adjustment.
⚫If you have accidentally turned the engi ne switch to “OFF” during initializa-
tion, it is not necessary to press the reset switch again as initialization will
restart automatically when the engine switch has been turned to “ON” for
the next time.
⚫If you accidentally press the reset switch when initialization is not necessary,
adjust the tire inflation pressure to the specified level when the tires are
cold, and conduct initialization again.

NOTICE
⬛Driving on rough roads
Take particular care when driving on roads with loose surfaces or potholes.
These conditions may cause losses in tire inflation pressure, reducing the
cushioning ability of the tires. In addition, driving on rough roads may cause
damage to the tires themselves, as well as the vehicle’s wheels and body.
⬛If tire inflation pressure of each tire becomes low while driving
Do not continue driving, or your tires and/or wheels may be ruined.
⬛Repairing or replacing tires, wheels, tire pressure warning valves,
transmitters and tire valve caps (veh icles with a tire pressure warning
system)
⚫When removing or fitting the wheels, tires or the tire pressure warning
valves and transmitters, contact your Toyota dealer as the tire pressure
warning valves and transmitters may be damaged if not handled correctly.
⚫Make sure to install the tire valve caps. If the tire valve caps are not installed,
water could enter the tire pressure warning valves and the tire pressure
warning valves could be bound.
⚫When replacing tire valve caps, do not use tire valve caps other than those
specified. The cap may become stuck.
⬛To avoid damage to the tire pressure warning valves and transmitters
(vehicles with a tire pressure warning system)
When a tire is repaired with liquid seal ants, the tire pressure warning valve and
transmitter may not operate properly. If a liquid sealant is used, contact your
Toyota dealer or other qualified service shop as soon as possible. After use of
liquid sealant, make sure to replace th e tire pressure warning valve and trans-
mitter when repairing or replacing the tire. ( ➞P. 328)

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 damage
⚫Greater possibility of tire damage while driving (due to road hazards, expan-
sion joints, sharp edges in the road, etc.)
NOTICE
⬛After inspecting and adjusting the tire pressure
Be sure to put the tire valve caps back on securely.
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.

: If equipped
Wheels
If a wheel is bent, cracked or heavily corroded, it should be replaced.
Otherwise, the tire may separate from the wheel or cause a loss of
handling control.
Wheel selection
When replacing wheels, care should be taken to ensure that they are
equivalent to those removed in load capacity, diameter, rim width and
inset*.
Replacement wheels are available at your Toyota dealer.
*Conventionally referred to as “offset”.
Toyota does not recommend using the following:
⚫Wheels of different sizes or types
⚫Used wheels
⚫Bent wheels that ha ve been straightened
Aluminum wheel
✽ precautions
⚫Use only Toyota wheel nuts and wrenches designed for use with your
aluminum wheels.
⚫When rotating, repairing or changing your tires, check that the wheel
nuts are still tight after driving 1600 km (1000 miles).
⚫Use only Toyota genuine balance weights or equivalent and use a plastic
or rubber hammer when balancing your wheels.
⬛When replacing wheels (vehicles with a tire pressure warning system)
The wheels of your vehicle are equipped with tire pressure warning valves and
transmitters that allow the tire pressu re warning system to provide advance
warning in the event of a lo ss in tire inflation pressure. Whenever wheels are
replaced, tire pressure warning valves and transmitters must be installed.

WARNING
⬛When replacing wheels
⚫Do not use wheels that are a different size from those recommended in the
Owner’s Manual, as this may result in a loss of handling control.
⚫Never use an inner tube in a leaking wheel which is designed for a tubeless
tire. Doing so may result in an accident, causing death or serious injury.
⬛When installing the wheel nuts
⚫Be sure to install the wheel nuts wi th the tapered ends facing inward.
( ➞ P. 402) Installing the nu ts with the tapered ends facing outward can
cause the wheel to break and eventual ly cause the wheel to come off while
driving, which could lead to an acciden t resulting in death or serious injury.
⚫Never use oil or grease on the wheel bolts or wheel nuts.
Oil and grease may cause the wheel nuts to be excessively tightened, lead-
ing to bolt or disc wheel damage. In addition, the oil or grease can cause the
wheel nuts to loosen and the wheel ma y fall off, causing an accident and
resulting in death or serious injury. Re move any oil or grease from the wheel
bolts or wheel nuts.
⬛Use of defective wheels prohibited
Do not use cracked or deformed wheels.
Doing so could cause the tire to leak air during driving, possibly causing an
accident.
NOTICE
⬛Replacing tire pressure warning valves and transmitters (vehicles with a
tire pressure warning system)
⚫Because tire repair or replacement ma y affect the tire pressure warning
valves and transmitters, make sure to have tires serviced by your Toyota
dealer or other qualified service shop . In addition, make sure to purchase
your tire pressure warning valves and transmitters at your Toyota dealer.
⚫Ensure that only genuine Toyota wheels are used on your vehicle.
Tire pressure warning valves and transmitters may not work properly with
non-genuine wheels.
