WARNING
Observe the following precautions. Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.
■While towing
●When towing using cables or
chains, avoid sudden starts, etc. which place excessive stress on the towing eyelets, cables or chains.
The towing eyelets, cables or chains may become damaged, bro-ken debris may hit people, and
cause serious damage.
●Vehicles with steering lock function:
Do not turn the power switch off. There is a possibility that the steer-ing wheel is locked and cannot be
operated.
■Installing towing eyelets to the
vehicle
Make sure that towing eyelets are installed securely. If not securely
installed, towing eyelets may come loose during towing.
NOTICE
■To prevent damage to the vehicle during emergency towing
Do not secure cables or chains to the suspension components.
If you think something is
wrong
If you notice any of the follow-
ing symptoms, your vehicle
probably needs adjustment or
repair. Contact any authorized
Toyota retailer or Toyota
authorized repairer, or any reli-
able repairer as soon as possi-
ble.

8-2. Steps to take in an emergency
When trouble arises
If the tire pressure warning light
comes on
1 After the temperature of the tires has lowered sufficiently, check the infla-tion pressure of each tire and adjust
them to the specified level.
2 If the warning light does not turn off even after several minutes have elapsed, check that the inflation
pressure of each tire is at the speci- fied level and perform initialization. ( P.492)
■The tire pressure warning light may
come on due to natural causes
The tire pressure warning light may come on due to natural causes such as
natural air leaks and tire inflation pres- sure changes caused by temperature. In this case, adjusting the tire inflation
pressure will turn off the warning light (after a few minutes).
■When a tire is replaced with a com-pact spare tire (vehicles with com-
pact spare tire)
The compact spare tire is not equipped with a tire pressure warning valve and
transmitter. If a tire goes flat, the tire pressure warning light will not turn off even though the flat tire has been
replaced with the spare tire. Replace the spare tire with the standard tire and adjust the tire inflation pressure. The tire
pressure warning light will go off after a few minutes.
■Conditions that the tire pressure warning system may not function
properly
 P.490
WARNING
■If a warning light comes on or a
warning buzzer sounds when a
warning message is shown on
the multi-information display*
Check and follow the message shown
on the multi-information display.
Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.*: Warning lights illuminate in red or
yellow and the warning buzzer
beeps once or sounds continu-
ously.
■When the electric power steer- ing system warning light comes on
When the light comes on yellow, the assist to the power steering is restricted. When the light comes on
red, the assist to the power steering is lost and handling operations of the steering wheel become extremely
heavy. If the steering wheel becomes heavier than usual when operating, hold firmly
and operate using more force than usual.
■If the tire pressure warning light comes on
Be sure to observe the following pre-
cautions. 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 comes 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 have the flat tire repaired by the nearest authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized
repairer, or any reliable repairer.

■Warning messages
The warning messages explained below may differ from the actual messages
according to operation conditions and vehicle specifications.
■If a message about an operation is
shown
●If a message about an operation of
the accelerator pedal or brake pedal is shown
WARNING
●Avoid abrupt maneuvering and braking. If the vehicle tires deterio-
rate, you could lose control of the steering wheel or the brakes.
■If a blowout or sudden air leak-age should occur
The tire pressure warning system
may not activate immediately.
NOTICE
■To ensure the tire pressure warn- ing system operates properly
Do not install tires with different speci- fications or manufacturers, as the tire pressure warning system may not
operate properly.
If a warning message is
displayed
The multi-information display
shows warnings of system
malfunctions, incorrectly per-
formed operations, and mes-
sages that indicate a need for
maintenance. When a message
is shown, perform the correc-
tion procedure appropriate to
the message.
If a warning message is dis-
played again after the appropri-
ate actions have been performed,
contact any authorized Toyota
retailer or Toyota authorized
repairer, or any reliable repairer.
When a message about charging
is displayed, refer to P.172.

WARNING
■When fixing the flat tire
●Stop your vehicle in a safe and flat area.
●Do not touch the wheels or the area around the brakes immediately
after the vehicle has been driven. After the vehicle has been driven,
the wheels and the area around the brakes may be extremely hot. Touching these areas with hands,
feet or other body parts may result in burns.
●Connect the valve and hose securely with the tire installed on the vehicle. If the hose is not prop-
erly connected to the valve, air leakage may occur as sealant may be sprayed out.
●If the hose comes off the valve while inflating the tire, there is a risk
that the hose will move abruptly due to air pressure.
●After inflation of the tire has com-pleted, the sealant may splatter when the hose is disconnected or
some air is let out of the tire.
●Follow the operation procedure to repair the tire. If the procedures not followed, the sealant may spray
out.
●Keep back from the tire while it is
being repaired, as there is a chance of it bursting while the repair opera-tion is being performed. If you
notice any cracks or deformation of the tire, turn off the compressor switch and stop the repair operation
immediately.
●The repair kit may overheat if oper-
ated for a long period of time. Do not operate the repair kit continu-ously for more than 40 minutes.
●Parts of the repair kit become hot during operation. Be careful han-
dling the repair kit during and after operation. Do not touch the metal part connecting the bottle and the
compressor. It will be extremely hot.
●Do not attach the vehicle speed warning sticker to an area other than the one indicated. If the sticker
is attached to an area where an SRS airbag is located, such as the pad of the steering wheel, it may
prevent the SRS airbag from oper- ating properly.
■Driving to spread the liquid seal-ant evenly
Observe the following precautions to
reduce the risk of accidents.
Failing to do so may result in a loss of vehicle control and cause death or
serious injury.
●Drive the vehicle carefully at a low speed. Be especially careful when
turning and cornering.

5688-2. Steps to take in an emergency
One of the following may be the
cause of the problem:
 The AC charging cable may be
attached to the vehicle.

functioning due to an electrical
problem such as electronic key
battery depletion or a blown fuse.
However, depending on the type
of malfunction, an interim mea-
sure is available to start the
hybrid system. ( P.569)
NOTICE
■Driving with tire chains and the compact spare tire
Do not fit tire chains to the compact spare tire.
Tire chains may damage the vehicle
body and adversely affect driving per- formance.
■When replacing the tires
When removing or fitting the wheels, tires or the tire pressure warning
valve and transmitter, contact any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable
repairer as the tire pressure warning valve and transmitter may be dam-aged if not handled correctly.
If the hybrid system will
not start
Reasons for the hybrid system
not starting vary depending on
the situation. Check the follow-
ing and perform the appropri-
ate procedure:
The hybrid system will not
start even though the cor-
