The tire pressure warning system is de-
signed to provide warning when tire
inflation pressure of one or more of
your tires (including the spare tire) is
low. The low tire pressure warning light
comes on to inform you that low tire
inflation pressure may hamper driving.

LOW TIRE PRESSURE WARNING LIGHT
This light comes on when the ignition key
is turned to the “ON” position. It goes off
after a few seconds. This indicates that
the tire pressure warning system is func-
tioning properly.
If the low tire pressure warning light
comes on or blinks, do the following.
If the warning light comes on:
Stop your vehicle in a safe place as
soon as possible and check that the
inflation pressure of all tires (including
the spare tire) is as specified on the
tire and loading information label. (See
“Checking tire inflation pressure” in
Section 7 −2.) If the warning light comes
on even after tire inflation pressure ad-
justment, you may have a flat tire. If
you have a flat tire, replace it with the
spare tire. For details, see “If you have
a flat tire” in Section 4.
The warning light goes off a few minutes
after air is put into the deflated tire.
This warning light may turn on due to
natural causes such as natural air leaks
or tire pressure changes caused by tem-
perature. In this case, adjusting the tire
pressure will turn off the warning light.

CAUTION
When the tire pressure warning light
comes on, observe the following in-
structions:
Depending on the conditions, re-
duce to an appropriate speed as
soon as possible.
Adjust the tire pressure to the spe-
cified level as soon as possible.
Avoid abrupt steering wheel maneu-
vering and braking. Tire deteriora-
tion may reduce steering wheel con-
trol and brake effectiveness. This
may lead to serious injury or death.
The tire pressure warning system
may not activate immediately if sud-
den bursts of air leakage occur.
NOTICE
Do not use liquid sealants for a flat
tire as air pressure sensors will be
damaged.
 When the tires must be repaired or
replaced, have them repaired or re-
placed by the nearest Toyota dealer
or authorized tire dealer. The tire
pressure sensors will be affected by
the installation or removal of tires.
 The tire pressure warning system is
not to be used as a substitute for
regular inspections. Be sure to
check the air pressure in the tires
on a regular basis.
 When the tires must be replaced,
replace the grommets for air pres-
sure sensors as well.
If the warning light blinks:
The tire pressure warning system may
be malfunctioning. Contact your Toyota
dealer.
SYSTEM MALFUNCTION
The tire pressure warning system does
not function properly under certain cir-
cumstances. In the following cases, the
low tire pressure warning light may not
come on even if the tire inflation pres-
sure is low, or it may come on when
the tire inflation pressure is actually
normal.
Electric devices or facilities using simi-
lar radio wave frequencies are nearby.
A radio set to similar frequencies is in
use.
A lot of snow or ice covers the ve-
hicle, in particular, around the wheels
or wheel housings.
The tires are not equipped with an air
pressure sensor.
Snow tires or tire chains are used.
Non −genuine Toyota wheels are used.
The sensor battery is expired.
Radio waves from the air pressure sen-
sor installed on the spare tire cannot
be received.

2005 TUNDRA from Aug. ’04 Prod. (OM34427U)
CAUTION
The use of non −genuine wheels will
cause the air pressure sensors to
transmit the electronic code in dif-
ferent manner, resulting in the sys-
tem failure.
The use of different type of tires
with genuine wheels may also
cause the malfunction of the sys-
tem.
CAUTION
When the tire pressure monitoring
system warning light is lit, one or
more of your tires is significantly un-
der −inflated. You should stop and
check your tires as soon as possible,
and inflate them to the proper pres-
sure as indicated on the vehicle’s tire
information placard. Driving on a sig-
nificantly under −inflated tire causes
the tire to overheat and can lead to
tire failure. Under− inflation also re-
duces fuel efficiency and tire tread
life, and may affect the vehicle’s han-
dling and stopping ab ility. Each tire,
including the spare, should be
checked monthly when cold and set
to the recommended inflation pres-
sure as specified in the vehicle plac-
ard and owner ’s manual.

When replacing the wheels, be sure to
install air pressure sensors on the
wheels.
There are 3 ways to set up the air pres-
sure sensors:
a. Remove the sensor from the old wheel and install it to the new wheel.
b. Keep the same wheel with air pressure sensor and replace only the tire.
c. Use a new wheel and sensor. In this case, you have to register an ID code
for a new sensor.
CAUTION
Have the tires, wheels or sensors re-
placed and ID codes registered by a
Toyota dealer. If you need sensors,
purchase from a Toyota dealer.

The tire pressure warning system need
to be initialized in the following condi-
tions:
After replacing or rotating tires or
wheels
After replacing an air pressure sen-
sor.
When initializing the system, the pres-
ent tire condition is stored as a stan-
dard. To initialize the system, perform the fol-
lowing:
1. Park the vehicle at a safe place and apply the parking brake. Stop the en-
gine.
2. Adjust the pressure of all the installed tires to the specified level. (See “Tires”
in Section 8.)

When initializing the system, make sure
the low tire pressure warning light blinks
three times. If the warning light does not
blink three times, initialization failed and
the tire pressure warning system will not
function properly. In this case, initialize
the system again.
Do not push the reset switch without ad-
justing the tire inflation pressure to the
specified level. Otherwise, the low tire
pressure warning light may not come on
even if the tire pressure is low, or it may
come on when the tire inflation pressure
is actually normal.
If you push the reset switch while the
vehicle is moving, initialization is not per-
formed.
If the low tire pressure warning light does
not blink when you push and hold the
reset switch, have the low pressure warn-
ing system checked at your Toyota dealer.

When parking, firmly apply the parking
brake to avoid inadvertent creeping.
Pedal type—
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 once again.
Lever type—
To set: Pull out on the lever. For better
holding power, first depress the brake
pedal and hold it while setting the parking
brake.
To release: Press the lock release button
(1), turn the lever (2), then push it in (3).
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) even with your foot off
the accelerator pedal.
Your cruising speed can be maintained up
or down grades within the limits of engine
performance, although a slight speed
change may occur when driving up or
down the grades. 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
panel shows that you can now set the
vehicle at a desired cruising speed. Anoth-
er press will turn the system completely
off.
CAUTION
To avoid accidental cruise control en-
gagement, keep the “ON −OFF” button
off when not using the cruise control.

SETTING AT A DESIRED SPEED
The transmission must be in “D” before
you set the cruise control speed.
Bring your vehicle to the desired speed,
push the lever down in the “ − SET” direc-
tion and release it. This sets the vehicle
at that speed. If the speed is not satisfac-
tory, tap the lever up for a faster speed,
or tap it down for a slower speed. Each
tap changes the set speed by 1.6 km/h
(1.0 mph). You can now take your foot off
the accelerator pedal. If you need acceleration—for example,
when passing—depress the accelerator
pedal enough for the vehicle to exceed
the set speed. When you release it, the
vehicle will return to the speed set prior
to the acceleration.
CANCELLING THE PRESET SPEED
You can cancel the preset speed by:
a. Pulling the lever in the “CANCEL”
direction and releasing it
b. Depressing the brake pedal
c. Pushing the “ON −OFF” button.
If the vehicle speed falls below about 40
km/h (25 mph), the preset speed will auto-
matically cancel out.
If the vehicle speed drops 16 km/h (10
mph) below the preset speed, the preset
speed will also automatically cancel out.
If the preset speed automatically cancels
out other than for the above cases, have
your vehicle checked by your Toyota deal-
er at the earliest opportunity. RESETTING TO A FASTER SPEED
Push the lever up in the “+ RES” direction
and hold it. Release the lever when the
desired speed is attained. While the lever
is held up, the vehicle will gradually gain
speed.
However, a faster way to reset is to ac-
celerate the vehicle and then push the
lever down in the “− SET” direction.
RESETTING TO A SLOWER SPEED
Push the lever down in the “
− SET” direc-
tion and hold it. Release the lever when
the desired speed is attained. While the
lever is held down, the vehicle speed will
gradually decrease.
However, a faster way to reset is to de-
press the brake pedal and then push the
lever down in the “− SET” direction.
Even if you turn off the overdrive switch
with the cruise control on, engine braking
will not be applied because the cruise
control is not cancelled. To decrease the
vehicle speed, reset to a slower speed
with the cruise control lever or depress
the brake pedal. If you use the brake
pedal, cruise control is cancelled.

RESUMING THE PRESET SPEED
If the preset speed is cancelled by pulling
the control lever or by depressing the
brake pedal, pushing the lever up in the
“+ RES” direction will restore the speed
set prior to cancellation.
CRUISE CONTROL FAILURE WARNING
If the “CRUISE” indicator light in the
instrument cluster flashes when using the
cruise control, press the “ON −OFF” button
to turn the system off and then press it
again to turn it on.
If any of the following conditions then oc-
curs, there is some trouble in the cruise
control system.
The indicator light does not come on.
The indicator light flashes again.
The indicator light goes out after it
comes on.
If this is the case, contact your Toyota
dealer and have your vehicle inspected.
