◆Registering ID codes 
The tire pressure warning valve and transmitter is equipped wit h  a 
unique ID code. When replacing a tire pressure warning valve an d 
transmitter, it is necessary to register the ID code. Have the  ID code 
registered  by  any  authorized  Toyota  retailer  or  Toyota  authoriz ed 
repairer, or any reliable repairer.
■ When to replace your vehicle’s tires 
Tires should be replaced if: 
● The treadwear indicators are showing on a tire. 
● You  have  tire  damage  such  as  cuts,  splits,  cracks  deep  enough  to  expose 
the fabric, and bulges indicating internal damage. 
● A tire goes flat repeatedly or cannot be properly repaired  due to the size or 
location of a cut or other damage. 
If  you  are  not  sure,  consult  with  any  authorized  Toyota  retaile r  or  Toyota 
authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer. 
■ Replacing tires and wheels 
If  the  ID  code  of  the  tire  pressure warning  valve  and  transmitt er  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 malfunction. 
■ Tire life 
Any tire over 6 years old must be checked by a qualified techni cian even if it 
has seldom or never been used, or damage is not obvious. 
■ Routine tire inflation pressure check 
The tire pressure warning system does not replace routine tire  inflation pres- 
sure checks. Make sure to check tire inflation pressure as part  of your routine 
of daily vehicle checks. 
■ If the tread on snow tires wears down below 4 mm (0.16 in.) 
The effectiveness of the tires as snow tires is lost.

Maintenance and care
■Situations  in  which  the  tire  pressure  warning  system  may  not  operate 
properly 
● In  the  following  cases,  the  tire  pressure  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 (Origin al Equipment) 
tire. 
• A tire has been replaced with a tire that is not of the specif ied 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 instal led. 
• 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 sp ecified level. 
• If  wheels  without  the  tire  pressure  warning  valves  and  transmi tters  are 
used. 
• If the ID code on the tire pressure warning valves and transmi tters 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 stat ion, large dis- 
play,  airport  or  other  facilit y  that  generates  strong  radio waves or electri- 
cal noise
• When  carrying  a  portable  radio,  cellular  phone,  cordless  phone   or  other 
wireless communication device 
● When the vehicle is parked, the time taken for the warning to start or go off 
could be extended. 
● When  tire  inflation  pressure  declines  rapidly  for  example  when a  tire  has 
burst, the warning may not function.

■ The initialization operation 
● Make sure to carry out initialization after adjusting the tire inflation pressure. 
Also,  make  sure  the  tires  are  cold  before  carrying  out  initiali zation  or  tire 
inflation pressure adjustment. 
● If you have accidentally turned the power switch off during initialization, it is 
not  necessary  to  press  the  reset  switch  again  as  initialization   will  restart 
automatically  when  the  power  switch  has  been  turned  to  ON  mode  for  the 
next time.  
● If you accidentally press the reset switch when initialization is not necessary, 
adjust  the  tire  inflation  pressure  to  the  specified  level  when  the  tires  are 
cold, and conduct initialization again. 
■ 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 initialized. For this re ason, the system 
may  give  a  warning  even  if  the  tire  pressure  does  not  reach  a  l ow  enough 
level, or if the pressure is higher than the pressure that was  adjusted to when 
the system was initialized. 
■ When initialization of the tire pressure warning system has failed 
Initialization  can  be  completed  in  a  few  minutes.  However,  in  t he  following 
cases,  the  settings  have  not  been  recorded  and  the  system  will  not  operate 
properly.  If  repeated  attempts  to  record  tire  inflation  pressur e  settings  are 
unsuccessful, have the vehicle inspected by any authorized Toyo ta retailer or 
Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer as soon as  possible. 
● When  operating  the  initialization  of  the  system,  the  tire  pressure  warning 
light does not flash 3 times and the setting message does not a ppear on the 
multi-information display. 
● After  driving  for  a  certain  period  of  time  since  the  initialization  has  been 
completed, the warning light comes on after blinking for 1 minu te. 
■ Registering ID codes 
The ID codes of the tire pressure warning valve and transmitter s for two sets 
of wheels can be registered.  
It  is  not  necessary  to  register  the  ID  codes  when  replacing  nor mal  tires  with 
snow tires, if the ID codes for the wheels of both normal tires  and snow tires 
are registered beforehand.  
For  information  about changing  ID  codes,  ask  any  authorized Toy ota  retailer 
or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
