FCC WARNING:
Changes or modifications not ex-
pressly approved by the party respon-
sible for compliance could void the
user’s authority to operate the equip-
ment.
For vehicles sold in Canada
Operation is subject to the following two
conditions: (1) This device may not
cause harmful interference, and (2) this
device must accept any interference, in-
cluding interference that may cause un-
desired operation of the device.
REPLACING TIRES AND WHEELS
When replacing the tires and wheels, be
sure to install tire pressure warning valves
and transmitters. ID codes on the tire
pressure warning valves and transmitters
are registered on the tire pressure warning
ECU. When replacing a tire pressure
warning valve and transmitter, it is neces-
sary to register the ID code of tire pres-
sure warning valve and transmitter. Have
the ID code registered by your Toyota
dealer.
If the ID code is not registered, the sys-
tem will not work properly. After about 1
hour, the tire pressure warning light
comes on after blinking for 1 minute to
indicate a system malfunction.
NOTICE
When the tires or tire pressure warn-
ing valves and transmitters must be
replaced, have them replaced by your
Toyota dealer. The tire pressure warn-
ing valves and transmitters will be
affected by the installation or removal
of tires.
TIRE PRESSURE WARNING RESET
SWITCH
When initializing the system, the present
tire inflation pressure is stored as stan-
dard. The tire pressure warning system
determines decreased air pressure by
comparing the present and the standard
tire inflation pressures. When you change
the set tire inflation pressure, it is neces-
sary to initialize the tire pressure warning
system.

When rotating the tires on vehicles dif-
fering with front and rear tire inflation
pressures.
When changing the tire inflation pres-
sure by changing traveling speed or
load weight, etc.
When changing the tire size.
To initialize the system, perform the fol-
lowing:
1. Park the vehicle in a safe place and turn the ignition switch off.
2. Adjust the pressure of all the installed tires to the specified cold tire inflation
pressure level. (See “Tires” on page
386 in Section 8.)
3. Set the ignition switch to ON.
4. Push and hold the tire pressure warn- ing reset switch until the tire pressure
warning light blinks slowly three times.
5. Wait for a few minutes with the ignition switch ON, and then turn the ignition
switch off.
If you push the tire pressure reset switch
while the vehicle is moving, initialization is
not performed.
If you push the tire pressure reset switch
accidentally and initialization is performed,
adjust the tire inflation pressure to the
specified level and initialize the system
again.AI17009
If the tire pressure warning light does not
blink slowly three times when you push
and hold the reset switch, initialization has
failed and the tire pressure warning sys-
tem may not work properly. In this case,
initialize the system again. If initialization
cannot be performed, have the system
checked at your Toyota dealer.

CAUTION
Do not push the reset switch without
first adjusting the tire inflation pres-
sure to the specified level. Otherwise,
the tire pressure warning light may
not come on even if the tire inflation
pressure is low, or it may come on
when the tire inflation pressure is ac-
tually normal.
Ty p e A
Ty p e B
When parking, firmly apply the parking
brake to avoid inadvertent creeping.
To set: Fully depress the parking brake
pedal. For better holding power, first de-
press the brake pedal and hold it while
setting the parking brake.
To release: Depress the parking brake
pedal while depressing the brake pedal.
To remind you that the parking brake is
set, the parking brake reminder light in
the instrument panel remains on until you
release the parking brake.
CAUTION
Before driving, be sure the parking
brake is fully released and the park-
ing brake reminder light is off.

The cruise control allows you to cruise
the vehicle at a desired speed over 40
km/h (25 mph) with your foot off the
accelerator pedal.
Your cruising speed can be maintained
although a slight speed change may occur
when driving up or down gradient, within
the limits of engine performance. On
steeper hills, a greater speed change will
occur so it is better to drive without the
cruise control.
CAUTION
To help maintain maximum control
of your vehicle, do not use the
cruise control when driving in
heavy or varying traffic, or on slip-
pery (rainy, icy or snow covered) or
winding roads.
Avoid vehicle speed increases when
driving downhill. If the vehicle
speed is too fast in relation to the
cruise control set speed, cancel the
cruise control then downshift the
transmission to use engine braking
to slow down.
TURNING THE SYSTEM ON
To operate the cruise control, press the
“ON −OFF” button. This turns the system
on. The indicator light in the instrument
cluster shows that you can now set your
desired cruising speed. Another push will
turn the system completely off.
When the ignition switch is turned off, the
system automatically turned off. To use
the cruise control again, press the “ON −
OFF” button again to turn it on.
