■When registering ID codes
●ID code registration is performed
while driving at a vehicle speed of
approximately 25 mph (40 km/h)
or more.
●Before performin g ID code regis-
tration, make sure that no wheels
with tire pressur e 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.
●As the tires will be warm when
registration is completed, make
sure to allow the tires to cool
before performin g initialization.
■Canceling ID code registration
●To cancel ID code registration
after it has been started, turn the
power switch to OFF before driv-
ing 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
power switch to OFF before driv-
ing.
●If ID code registration has been
canceled, the tire pressure warn-
ing light will blink for approxi-
mately 1 minute when the power
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-
form the ID code registration start
procedure again and then turn the
power switch to OFF before driv-
ing.
■If ID codes are not registered
properly
●In the following situations, ID code
registration may take longer than
usual to be completed or may not

4206-3. Do-it-yourself maintenance
be possible. Normally, registra-
tion completes within approxi-
mately 30 minutes.
If ID code registration is not com-
plete after driving for approxi-
mately 30 minutes, continue
driving for a while.
• Vehicle is not parked for approxi- mately 20 minutes or more before
driving
• Vehicle is not driven at approxi- mately 25 mph ( 40 km/h) or more
• Vehicle is driven on unpaved roads
• Vehicle is driven near other vehi-
cles and system cannot recog-
nize tire pressure warning valve
and transmitters of your vehicle
over those of other vehicles
• Wheel with tire p ressure warning
valve and transmitter installed is
inside or near the vehicle
If registration does not complete
after driving for 1 hour or more, per-
form the ID code registration proce-
dure again from the beginning.
●If the vehicle is reversed during
registration, the data up to that
point is reset, so perform the reg-
istration procedure again from the
beginning.
●In the following situations, ID code
registration will not be started or
was not completed properly and
the system will no t operate prop-
erly. Perform the ID code registra-
tion 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 20 minutes after
performing ID co de registration,
the tire pressur e warning light
blinks for approxi mately 1 minute
and then illu minates.
If the ID codes cannot be registered
even when performing the above
procedure, contact your Toyota
dealer.
The recommended cold tire
inflation pressure and tire size
are displayed on the tire and
loading information label.
( P.502)
Tire inflation pressure
Make sure to maintain the
proper tire inflation pres-
sure. Tire inflation pressure
should be checked at least
once per month. However,
Toyota recommends that
tire inflation pressure be
checked once every two
weeks. ( P.502)
Checking the specified
tire inflation pressure

Maintenance and care
Tire valve
Tire pressure gauge
1 Remove the tire valve cap.
2 Press the tip of the tire pres-
sure gauge onto the tire
valve.
3 Read the pressure using the
gauge gradations.
4 If the tire inflation pressure is
not at the recommended
level, adjust the pressure. If
you add too much air, press
the center of the valve to
deflate.
5 After completing the tire infla-
tion pressure measurement
and adjustment, apply soapy
water to the valve and check
for leakage.
6 Put the tire valve cap back
on.
■Tire inflation pressure check
interval
You should check tire inflation pres-
sure every two weeks, or at least
once a month. Do not forget to
check the spare.
■Effects of incorrect tire inflation
pressure
Driving with incorrec t tire inflation
pressure may resul t 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 your Toyota
dealer.
■Instructions for checking tire
inflation pressure
When checking tire inflation pres-
sure, 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 mile
or 1.5 km, 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
pressure to be higher after driving
as heat is generated in the tire. Do
not reduce tire inflation pressure
after driving.
●Never exceed the vehicle capacity
weight. Passengers and luggage
weight should be placed so that
the vehicle is balanced.

4226-3. Do-it-yourself maintenance
When replacing wheels, care
should be taken to ensure that
they are equivalent to those
removed in load capacity, diam-
eter, rim width and inset
*.
Replacement wheels are avail-
able at your Toyota dealer.
*: Conventionally referred to as off- set.
Toyota does not recommend
using the following:
 Wheels of different sizes or
types
 Used wheels
 Bent wheels that have been
straightened
■When replacing wheels (vehi-
cles with tire p ressure warning
system)
The wheels of your vehicle are
equipped with tire pressure warning
valves and transmitters that allow
the tire pressure warning system to
provide advance warning in the
event of a loss in tire inflation pres-
sure. Whenever wheels are
replaced, tire pressure warning
valves and transmitters must be
installed. ( P.412, 423)
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 seri-
ous 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 dam-
age while driving (due to road
hazards, expansion joints,
sharp edges in the road, etc.)
NOTICE
■When inspecting and adjust-
ing 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.
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.

equipped) and wireless remote
control will not fu nction properly.
●The operational range will be
reduced.
Prepare the following before
replacing the battery:
 Flathead screwdriver
 Small flathead screwdriver
 Lithium battery CR2032
■Use a CR2032 lithium battery
●Batteries can be purchased at

1 Remove the cover.
Use a screwdriver of an appropriate
size. Forcedly prying may cause
the cover damaged. To prevent damage to the key,
cover the tip of t
he screwdriver with
a rag.
2 Remove the battery cover.
If the battery cover is difficult to
remove, lift the e dge to remove it.
3Remove the depleted bat-
tery.
When removing the battery, use a
screwdriver of an appropriate size.
Insert a new battery with the “+” ter-
minal facing up.
4Install the battery cover with
the tab facing up.

WARNING
■To prevent system break-
downs and vehicle fire
Observe the following precau-
tions.
Failure to do so may cause dam-
age to the vehicle, and possibly a
fire or injury.
●Never use a fuse of a higher
amperage rating than that indi-
cated, or use any other object in
place of a fuse.
●Always use a genuine Toyota
fuse or equivalent.
Never replace a fuse with a
wire, even as a temporary fix.
●Do not modify the fuses or fuse
boxes.
NOTICE
■Before replacing fuses
Have the cause of electrical over-
load determined and repaired by
your Toyota dealer as soon as
possible.
■To prevent damage to the
engine compartment fuse box
cover
When opening the fuse box, com-
pletely release the claw locks
before lifting up the cover. Other-
wise, the claws may be damaged.
