Front passenger detection sensor, seat belt reminder and warning
buzzer
●If luggage is placed on the front passenger seat, the front passenger detec-
tion sensor may cause the warning light to flash and the warning buzzer to
sound even if a passenger is not sitting in the seat.
● If a cushion is placed on the seat, the sensor may not detect a passenger,
and the warning light may not operate properly.
■ If the malfunction indicator lamp comes on while driving
The malfunction indicator lamp will come on if the fuel tank becomes com-
pletely empty. If the fuel tank is empt y, refuel the vehicle immediately. The
malfunction indicator lamp will go off after several trips.
If the malfunction indicator lamp does not go off, contact any authorized
Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repai rer, or any reliable repairer as soon
as possible.
■ Electric power steering system warning light (warning buzzer)
When the battery charge becomes insufficient or the voltage temporarily
drops, the electric power steering system warning light may come on and the
warning buzzer may sound.
■ When the tire pressure warning light comes on (vehicles with the tire
pressure warning system)
Inspect the appearance of the tire to check that the tire is not punctured.
If the tire is punctured: P. 427, 442
If the tire is not punctured:
Check the tire inflation pressure after the tire temperature has lowered suffi-
ciently. Adjust the inflation pressure to the appropriate level and carry out ini-
tialization. ( P. 3 7 4 )
■ The tire pressure warning light may come on due to natural causes
(vehicles with the tire pressure warning system)
The tire pressure warning light may come on due to natural causes such as
natural air leaks and tire inflation pressure changes caused by temperature.
In this case, adjusting the tire inflation pressure is at the specified level and
carry out initialization. ( P. 374)
■ If the tire pressure warning light fr equently comes on after blinking for
1 minute (vehicles with a tire pressure warning system)
If the tire pressure warning light frequently comes on after blinking for 1 min-
ute when the engine switch is turned on, have it checked by any authorized
Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
■ Warning buzzer
In some cases, the buzzer may not be heard because of noisy place or an
audio sound.

WARNING
■If both the ABS and the brake system warning lights remain on
Stop your vehicle in a safe place immediately and contact any authorized
Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized r epairer, or any reliable repairer. The
vehicle will become extremely unstable during braking, and the ABS system
may fail, which could cause an accident resulting in death or serious injury.
■ When the electric power steering system warning light comes on
The steering wheel may become extremely heavy.
When steering wheel operations are heavier than usual, grip the steering
wheel firmly and operate it using more force than usual.
■ If the tire pressure warning light comes on (vehicles with the tire pres-
sure warning system)
Be sure to observe the following precautions. Failure to do so could cause a
loss of vehicle control and result in death or serious injury.
● Stop your vehicle in a safe place as soon as possible. Adjust the tire infla-
tion pressure immediately.
● If the tire pressure warning light comes on even after tire inflation pressure
adjustment, it is probable that you have a flat tire. Check the tires. If a tire
is flat, change it with the spare tire and have the flat tire repaired by the
nearest any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or
any reliable repairer.
● Avoid abrupt maneuvering and braking. If the vehicle tires deteriorate, you
could lose control of the steering wheel or the brakes.
■ If a blowout or sudden air leakage should occur (vehicles with the tire
pressure warning system)
The tire pressure warning system may not activate immediately.
NOTICE
■ To ensure the tire pressure warning system operates properly (vehi-
cles with the tire pressure warning system)
Do not install tires with different specif ications or makers, as the tire pres-
sure warning system may not operate properly.

If you have a flat tire (vehicles without a
spare tire)
Your vehicle is not equipped with a spare tire, but instead is
equipped with an emergency tire puncture repair kit.
A puncture caused by a nail or screw passing through the tire
tread can be repaired temporarily with the emergency tire punc-
ture repair kit.
WARNING
■ If you have a flat tire
Do not continue driving with a flat tire.
Driving even a short distance with a flat tire can damage the tire and the
wheel beyond repair, which could result in an accident.
Driving with a flat tire may cause a circumferential groove on the side wall.
In such a case, the tire may explode when using a repair kit.

●Stop the vehicle in a safe place on a hard, flat surface.
● Set the parking brake.
● Shift the shift lever to N.
● Stop the engine.
● Turn on the emergency flashers. (P. 406)
● Check the degree of the tire damage.
A tire should only be repaired with
the emergency tire puncture
repair kit if the damage is caused
by a nail or screw passing through
the tire tread.
• Do not remove the nail or screw
from the tire. Removing the
object may widen the opening
and prevent emergency repair
with the repair kit.
• To avoid sealant leakage, move the vehicle until the area of the
puncture, if known, is positioned at the top of the tire.
■ A flat tire that cannot be repaired with the emergency tire puncture repair
kit
In the following cases, the tire c annot be repaired with the emergency tire
puncture repair kit. Contact any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota autho-
rized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
● When the tire is damaged due to driving without sufficient air pressure
● When the tire lost air pressure due to a crack or damage in the tire sidewall
● When the tire is visibly separated from the wheel
● When the cut or damage to the tread is 4 mm (0.16 in.) long or more
● When the wheel is damaged
● When two or more tires have been punctured
● When there is more than one hole or cut in the damaged tire
● When the sealant has expired

To inject the sealant and inflate
the tire, turn the compressor
switch on.
Inflate the tire until the specified
air pressure is reached.
The sealant will be injected
and the pressure will surge
and then gradually
decrease.
The air pressure gauge will
display the actual tire infla-
tion pressure about 1 minute
(5 minutes at low tempera-
ture) after the switch is
turned on.
Inflate to specified air pres-
sure.
• If the tire inflation pressure is still lower than the specified point after
inflation for 35 minutes with the switch on, the tire is too damaged to
be repaired. Turn the compressor switch off and contact any autho-
rized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable
repairer.
• If the tire inflation pressure exceeds the specified air pressure, let out
some air to adjust the tire inflation pressure. ( P. 438, 480)

Temporarily store the bottle and compressor in the luggage com-
partment.
To spread the liquid sealant evenly within the tire, immediately drive
safely for about 5 km (3 miles) below 80 km/h (50 mph).
After driving for about 5 km
(3 miles), stop your vehicle in a
safe place on a hard, flat sur-
face and connect the compres-
sor.
Check the tire inflation pres-
sure.
If the tire inflation pressure is
under 130 kPa (1.3 kgf/cm2
or bar, 19 psi): The puncture
cannot be repaired. Contact
any authorized Toyota
retailer or Toyota authorized
repairer, or any reliable
repairer.
If the tire inflation pressure is 130 kPa (1.3 kgf/cm2 or bar, 19 psi)
or higher, but less than the specified air pressure: Proceed to

■Emergency tire puncture repair kit
● The sealant has a limited lifespan. The expiry date is marked on the bottle.
The bottle of sealant should be replaced with a new bottle before the expiry
date. Contact any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or
any reliable repairer for replacement.
● The sealant stored in the emergency tire puncture repair kit can be used
only once to temporarily repair a single tire. If the sealant has been used
and needs to be replaced, purchase a new bottle at any authorized Toyota
retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer. The compres-
sor is reusable.
● The sealant can be used when the outside temperature is from -30 C
(-22 F) to 60 C (140 F).
● The repair kit is exclusively designed for size and type of tires originally
installed on your vehicle. Do not use it for tires that a different size than the
original ones, or for any other purposes.
● If the sealant gets on your clothes, it may stain.
● If the sealant adheres to a wheel or the surface of the vehicle body, the stain
may not be removable if it is not cleaned at once. Immediately wipe away
the sealant with a wet cloth.
● During operation of the repair kit, a loud operation noise is produced. This
does not indicate a malfunction.
● Do not use to check or to adjust the tire pressure.
■ If the tire is inflated to more than the specified air pressure
Check that the air pressure gauge shows the specified air pressure.
If the air pressure is under the designated pressure, turn the compressor
switch on again and repeat the inflation procedure until the specified air
pressure is reached.
Press the button to let some air out.

WARNING
■When fixing the flat tire
● Stop your vehicle in a safe and flat area.
● Do not touch the wheels or the area around the brakes immediately after
the vehicle has been driven.
After the vehicle has been driven, the wheels and the area around the
brakes may be extremely hot. Touching these areas with hands, feet or
other body parts may result in burns.
● To avoid risk of burst or severe leakage, do not drop or damage the bottle.
Visually inspect the bottle before use. Do not use a bottle with shock,
crack, scratch, leakage or any other damage. In such case, immediately
replace.
● Connect the valve and hose securely with the tire installed on the vehicle.
● If the hose is not properly connected to the valve, air leakage may occur
as sealant may be sprayed out.
● If the hose comes off the valve while inflating the tire, there is a risk that
the hose will move abruptly due to air pressure.
● After inflation of the tire has completed, the sealant may splatter when the
hose is disconnected or some air is let out of the tire.
● Follow the operation procedure to repair the tire. If the procedures not fol-
lowed, the sealant may spray out.
● Keep back from the tire while it is being repaired, as there is a chance of it
bursting while the repair operation is being performed. If you notice any
cracks or deformation of the tire, turn off the compressor switch and stop
the repair operation immediately.
● The repair kit may overheat if operated for a long period of time. Do not
operate the repair kit continuously for more than 40 minutes.
● Parts of the repair kit become hot during operation. Be careful handling the
repair kit during and after operation. Do not touch the metal part around
the connecting area between the bottle and the compressor. It will be
extremely hot.
● Do not attach the vehicle speed warning sticker to an area other than the
one indicated. If the sticker is attached to an area where an SRS airbag is
located, such as the pad of the steering wheel, it may prevent the SRS air-
bag from operating properly.

WARNING
■Driving to spread the liquid sealant evenly
Observe the following precautions to reduce the risk of accidents.
Failure to do so may result in a loss of vehicle control and cause death or
serious injury.
● Drive the vehicle carefully at a low speed. Be especially careful when turn-
ing and cornering.
● If the vehicle does not drive straight or you feel a pull through the steering
wheel, stop the vehicle and check the following:
• Tire condition. The tire may have separated from the wheel.
• Tire inflation pressure. If tire inflation pressure is 130 kPa (1.3 kgf/cm2
or bar, 19 psi) or less, the tire may be severely damaged.
NOTICE
■ When performing an emergency repair
● A tire should only be repaired with the emergency tire puncture repair kit if
the damage is caused by a sharp object such as nail or screw passing
through the tire tread.
Do not remove the sharp object from the tire. Removing the object may
widen the opening and disenable emergenc y repair with the repair kit.
● The repair kit is not waterproof. Make sure that the repair kit is not
exposed to water, such as when it is being used in the rain.
● Do not put the repair kit directly onto dusty ground such as sand at the
side of the road. If the repair kit vacuums up dust etc., a malfunction may
occur.
● Do not turn the bottle upside down when using it, as doing so may cause
damage to the compressor.
■ Handling the emergency tire puncture repair kit
● The repair kit power source should be 12 V DC suitable for vehicle use. Do
not connect the repair kit to any other source.
● If gasoline splatters on the repair kit, the repair kit may deteriorate. Take
care not to allow gasoline to contact it.
● Place the repair kit in a storage to prevent it from being exposed to dirt or
water.
● Store the repair kit in the luggage compartment out of reach of children.
● Do not disassemble or modify the repair kit. Do not subject parts such as
the air pressure gauge to impacts. This may cause a malfunction.
