■Routine tire inflation pressure
checks
The tire pressure warning system does
not replace routine tire inflation pressure
checks. Make sure to check tire inflation
pressure as part of your routine of daily
vehicle checks.
■Tire inflation pressure
●It may take a few minutes to display
the tire inflation pressure after the
power switch is turned to ON. It may
also take a few minutes to display the
tire inflation pressure after inflation
pressure has been adjusted.
●Tire inflation pressure changes with temperature. The displayed values
may also be different from the values
measured using a tire pressure
gauge.
■Situations in which the tire pres-
sure warning system may not oper-
ate properly
●In the following cases, the tire pres-
sure 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 the
vehicle, particularly around the wheels
or wheel housings.
• If the tire inflation pressure is
extremely higher than the specified
level.
• If wheels without tire pressure warning
valves and transmitters are 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 dis-
play, airport or other facility that gen-
erates strong radio waves or electrical
noise
• When carrying a portable radio, cellu-
lar phone, cordless phone or other
wireless communication device
If tire position information is not cor-
rectly displayed due to the radio wave
conditions, the display may be cor-
rected by driving and changing the
radio wave conditions.
●When the vehicle is parked, the time
taken for the warning to start or go off

491

7-3. Do-it-yourself maintenance
Maintenance and care
could be extended.
●When tire inflation pressure declines rapidly for example when a tire has
burst, the warning may not function.
■Warning performance of the tire pressure warning system
The warning of the tire pressure warning
system will change in accordance with the conditions under which it was initial-ized. For this reason, the system may
give a warning even if the tire pressure does not reach a low enough level, or if the pressure is higher than the pressure
that was adjusted to when the system was initialized.
When replacing tires or wheels, tire
pressure warning valves and trans-
mitters must also be installed.
When new tire pressure warning
valves and transmitters are
installed, new ID codes must be
registered in the tire pressure warn-
ing computer and the tire pressure
warning system must be initialized.
( P.495)
■When replacing the tires and
wheels
If the ID code of the tire pressure warn- ing 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
warning light blinks for 1 minute and stays on to indicate a system malfunc-tion.

ing valves and transmitters
NOTICE
■Repairing or replacing tires, wheels, tire pressure warning
valves, transmitters and tire valve caps
●When removing or fitting the
wheels, tires or the tire pressure warning valves and transmitters, contact any authorized Toyota
retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer 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 pres-sure warning valves and trans-mitters (vehicles without spare
tire)
When a tire is repaired with liquid sealants, the tire pressure warning
valve and transmitter may not operate properly. If a liquid sealant is used, contact any authorized Toyota retailer
or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer or other qualified ser-vice shop as soon as possible. After
use of liquid sealant, make sure to replace the tire pressure warning valve and transmitter when repairing
or replacing the tire. ( P.491)

ing for 1 hour or more, park the vehicle
in a safe place for approximately 20
minutes and then drive the vehicle
again.
■When initializing
●Initialization is performed while driving
at a vehicle speed of approximately
40 km/h (25 mph) or more.
●Make sure to carry out initialization
after adjusting the tire inflation pres-
sure. Also, make sure the tires are
cold before carrying out initialization
or tire inflation pressure adjustment.
●The tire pressure warning system can
be initialized by yourself, but depend-
ing on the driving conditions and driv-
ing environment, initialization may
take some time to complete.
■The initialization operation
●If you have accidentally turned the
power switch to OFF during initializa-
tion, it is not necessary to restart the
initialization again as initialization will
restart automatically when the power
switch has been turned to ON for the
next time.
●If you accidentally perform initializa-
tion when initialization is not neces-
sary, adjust the tire inflation pressure
to the specified level when the tires
are cold, and conduct initialization
again.
●While the position of each tire is being
determined and the inflation pres-
sures are not being displayed on the
multi-information display, if the infla-
tion pressure of a tire drops, the tire
pressure warning light will come on.
■If the tire pressure warning system
is not initialized properly
●In the following situations, initialization
may take longer than usual to be com-
pleted or may not be possible. Nor-
mally, initialization completes within
approximately 30 minutes.
• Vehicle is not driven at approximately
40 km/h (25 mph) or more• Vehicle is driven on unpaved roads
• Vehicle is driven near other vehicles
and system cannot recognize tire
pressure warning valve and transmit-
ters of your vehicle over those of other
vehicles.
• If the vehicle is driven in heavy traffic
or another situation where other vehi-
cles are driven close by, it may take
time for the system to recognize the
tire pressure warning valve and trans-
mitters of your vehicle over those of
other vehicles.
●If initialization does not complete after
driving for 1 hour or more, park the
vehicle in a safe place for approxi-
mately 20 minutes and then drive the
vehicle again.
●If the vehicle is reversed during initial-
ization, the data up to that point is
reset, so perform the initialization pro-
cedure again from the beginning.
●In the following situations, initialization
will not be started or was not com-
pleted properly and the system will not
operate properly. Perform the initial-
ization procedure again.
• If, when attempting to start initializa-
tion, the tire pressure warning light
does not blink 3 times.
• If, when the vehicle has been driven
for about 20 minutes after performing
initialization, the tire pressure warning
light blinks for approximately 1 minute
and then illuminates.
If initialization cannot be completed after
performing the above procedure, con-
tact any authorized Toyota retailer or
Toyota authorized repairer, or any reli-
able repairer.
