When trouble arises
■Electric power steering system
warning light (warning buzzer)
When the 12-volt battery charge becomes insufficient or the voltage tem-
porarily drops, the electric power steer- ing system warning light may come on and the warning buzzer may sound.
■When the tire pressure warning
light comes on
Inspect the tires to check if a tire is punctured.
If a tire is punctured: P.448, 459
If none of the tires are punctured: Turn the power switch off then turn it to
ON. Check if the tire pressure warning light comes on or blinks.
If the tire pressure warning light blinks
for approximately 1 minute then stays on
There may be a malfunction in the tire
pressure warning system. Have the vehicle inspected by any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized
repairer, or any reliable repairer immedi- ately.
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.395)
■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 spare
tire
Vehicles with a compact spare tire: The compact spare tire is not equipped with
a tire pressure warning valve and trans- mitter. 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 repaired tire and adjust the
tire inflation pressure. The tire pressure warning light will go off after a few min-utes.
Vehicles with a full-size spare tire: The spare tire is also equipped with a tire pressure warning valve and transmitter.
The tire pressure warning light will turn on if the tire inflation pressure of the spare tire is low. 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 repaired tire and adjust the tire inflation pressure. The tire pressure warning light will go off after a
few minutes.

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.When steering wheel operations are
heavier than usual, grip the steering wheel firmly and operate it 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.
●Vehicles with a compact spare tire and full-size spare tire: 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 any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
●Vehicles with emergency tire punc-ture repair kit: 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, repair the flat tire by using emergency tire puncture repair kit.
●Avoid abrupt maneuvering and braking.If the vehicle tires deteriorate, 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.

replaced, make sure to tell any autho-
rized Toyota retailer or Toyota autho- rized repairer, or any reliable repairer that the sealant is injected.
■If the tire is inflated to more than the specified air pressure
1 Press the button to let some air out.
2 Check that the air pressure indicator
shows the specified air pressure. If
the air pressure is under the desig-
nated pressure, turn the compres-
sor switch (on) again and repeat
the inflation procedure until the
specified air pressure is reached.
■The valve of a tire that has been repaired
After a tire is repaired with the emer-
gency tire puncture repair kit, the valve should be replaced.
■After a tire is repaired with the emergency tire puncture repair kit
●The tire pressure warning valve and transmitter should be replaced.
●Even if the tire inflation pressure is at the recommended level, the tire pres-
sure warning light may come on/flash.
WARNING
■Do not drive the vehicle with a flat tire
Do not continue driving with a flat tire. Driving even a short distance with a flat tire can damage the tire and the
wheel beyond repair.
Driving with a flat tire may cause a cir- cumferential groove on the side wall.
In such a case, the tire may explode when using a repair kit.
■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.
