System
After adjusting tire pressures, or after tires have been rotated or replaced, turn 
the engine switch to “ON” and press and hold the “
SET” button until indicator 
blinks three times. Let the vehicle sit for a few minutes to allow initialization to 
complete.

specifications. 
If the tire pressure indicator flashes for more than 60 seconds and then remains 
on, take the vehicle to your local Toyota dealer.
NOTE:  The warning light may come on due to temperature changes or changes 
in tire pressure from natural air leakage. If the system has not been initialized 
recently, setting the tire pressures to factory specifications should turn off the 
light.
