■Checking battery fluid
Check that the level is between
the “UPPER LEVEL” and
“LOWER LEVEL” lines.
“UPPER LEVEL” line
“LOWER LEVEL” line
If the fluid level is at or below the
“LOWER LEVEL” line, add distilled
water.
■Adding distilled water
1 Remove the vent plug.
2 Add distilled water.
If the “UPPER LEVEL ” line cannot
be seen, check the fluid level by
looking directly at the cell.
3 Put the vent plug back on

switch in ACC. T he engine may
not start with th e engine switch
turned off. However, the engine
will operate normally from the sec-
ond attempt.
●The engine switch mode is
recorded by the vehicle. If the bat-
tery is disconnected and recon-
nected, the vehi cle will return the
engine switch mode to the status it
was in before the battery was dis-
connected. Make sure to turn off
the engine before disconnecting
the battery. Take extra care when

Maintenance and care
Front
To equalize tire wear and extend
tire life, Toyota recommends that
tire rotation is carried out at the
same interval as tire inspection.
Your vehicle is equipped with a
tire pressure warning system
that uses tire pressure warning
valves and transmitters to detect
low tire inflation pressure before
serious problems arise.
 The tire pressure detected by
the tire pressure warning sys-
tem can be displayed on the
multi-information display.
 If the tire pressure drops
below a predetermined level,
the driver is warned by a screen display and a warning
light. (
P.354)
■Routine tire inflation pressure
checks
The tire pressure warning system
does not replace routine tire inflation
pressure checks . Make sure to
check tire inflation pressure as part
of your routine o f daily vehicle
checks.
■Tire inflation pressure
●It may take a few minutes to dis-
play the tire inflation pressure
after the engine switch is turned to
ON. It may also take a few min-
utes to display the tire inflation
pressure after infl ation pressure
has been adjusted.
●Tire inflation pressure changes
with temperature. The displayed
values may also be different from
the values measured using a tire
pressure gauge.
■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 (Original
Equipment) tire.
• A tire has been replaced with a
tire that is not of the specified size.
• Tire chains, etc. are equipped.
• An auxiliary-support ed run-flat tire

Maintenance and care
■The tire pressure warning
system must be initialized
in the following circum-
stances:
 When rotating the tires.
 When the tire inflation pres-
sure is changed such as
when changing traveling
speed.
 When changing the tire size.
When the tire pressure warning
system is initialized, the current
tire inflation pressure is set as
the benchmark pressure.
■How to initialize the tire
pressure warning system
1 Park the vehicle in a safe
place and turn the engine
switch off.
Initialization cannot be performed
while the vehicle is moving.
2Adjust the tire inflation pres-
sure to the specified cold tire
inflation pressure level.
Make sure to adjust the tire pres-
sure to the specifie d cold tire infla-
tion pressure level. The tire
pressure warning system will oper-
ate based on this pressure level.
3Turn the engine switch to
ON.
4 Press and hold the tire pres-
sure warning reset switch
until the tire pressure warning
light blinks slowly 3 times.
5 Wait for a few minutes with
the engine switch ON and
NOTICE
●Make sure to install the tire
valve caps. If the tire valve caps
are not installed, water could
enter the tire pressure warning
valves and the tire pressure
warning valves could be bound.
●When replacing ti re valve caps,
do not use tire valve caps other
than those specified. The cap
may become stuck.
■To avoid damage to the tire
pressure warning valves and
transmitters
When a tire is repaired with liquid
sealants, the tire pressure warn-
ing valve and transmitter may not
operate properly. If a liquid seal-
ant is used, contact your Toyota
dealer or other qualified service
shop as soon as possible. After
use of liquid sealant, make sure to
replace the tire pressure warning
valve and transmitter when repair-
ing or replacing the tire. (

Initializing the tire pres-
sure warning system

3186-3. Do-it-yourself maintenance
then turn the engine switch
off.
■If you press the tire pressure
warning reset switch acciden-
tally
If initialization is performed, adjust
the tire inflation pressure to the
specified level and initialize the tire
pressure warning system again.
■Initialization procedure
●Make sure to carry out initializa-
tion after adjusting the tire inflation
pressure.
Also, make sure the tires are cold
before carrying out initialization or
tire inflation pressure adjustment.
●If you have accidentally turned the
engine switch off during initializa-
tion, it is not necessary to press
the reset switch again as initializa-
tion will restart aut omatically when
the engine switch has been turned
to ON 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 con-
duct initialization again.
■When initialization of the tire
pressure warning system has
failed
Initialization can be completed in a
few minutes. However, in the follow-
ing cases, the set tings have not
been recorded an d the system will
not operate properly. If repeated
attempts to record tire inflation pres-
sure settings are unsuccessful,
have the vehicle inspected by your
Toyota dealer.
●When operating the tire pressure
warning reset switch, tire pressure
warning light doe s not blink 3
times.
●After carrying out the initialization
procedure, the tir e pressure warn-
ing light blinks for 1 minute then stays on after driving for 20 min-
utes.
The tire pressure warning valve
and transmitter is equipped with
a unique ID code. When replac-
ing a tire pressure warning valve
and transmitter, it is necessary
to register the ID code. Have the
ID code registered by your Toy-
ota dealer.
■Registering ID codes
The ID codes of t he tire pressure
warning valve and transmitters for
two sets of whee ls can be regis-
tered.
It is not necessary to register the ID
codes when replacing normal tires
with snow tires, if the ID codes for
the wheels of both normal tires and
snow tires are registered before-
hand.
In addition to the set of tire pressure
warning system sensor ID codes ini-
tially registered to the vehicle, a sec-
ond set of ID codes can be
registered.
A second set of tire pressure warn-
ing system sensor ID codes can be
registered at your Toyota dealer.
WARNING
■When initializing the tire pres-
sure warning system
Do not operate the tire pressure
warning reset switch without first
adjusting the tire inflation pres-
sure to the specif ied level. Other-
wise, the tire pressure warning
light may not come on even if the
tire inflation press ure is low, or it
may come on when the tire infla-
tion pressure is actually normal.
