Maintenance and care
the tire pressure warning sys-
tem determines the position.
Drive the vehicle at approxi-
mately 25 mph (40 km/h) or
more for approximately 10 to 30
minutes until the inflation pres-
sure of each tire is displayed on
the multi-information display.
When initialization is complete,
the inflation pressure of each
tire will be displayed on the
multi-information display.
Even if the vehicle is not driven
at approximately 25 mph (40
km/h) or more, initialization can
be completed by driving for a
long time. However, if initializa-
tion does not complete after
driving for 1 hour or more, park
the vehicle in a safe place for
approximately 20 minutes and
then drive the vehicle again.
■Initializing the tire pressure
warning system
Initialize the syst em with the tire
inflation pressure adjusted to the
specified level.
■Initialization procedure
●Make sure to carry out initializa-
tion after adjusting the tire inflation
pressure.
Also, make sure the tires are cold
before carrying ou t initialization or
tire inflation pressure adjustment.
●If you have accidentally turned the
engine switch off during initializa-
tion, it is not necessary to restart
the initialization again as initializa-
tion will restart aut omatically when
the engine switch has been turned
to ON for the next time.
●If you accidentally restart the ini- tialization when initialization is not
necessary, adjust the tire inflation
pressure to the specified level
when the tires are cold, and con-
duct initialization again.
●While the position of each tire is
being determined and the inflation
pressures are not being displayed
on the multi-inform
ation display, if
the inflation pressure of a tire
drops, the tire pressure warning
light will come on.
■When initialization of the tire
pressure warning system has
failed
Initialization may take longer to
complete if the ve hicle is driven on
an unpaved road. When performing
initialization, drive on a paved road if
possible. Depending on the driving
environment and condition of the
tires, initialization will be completed
in approximately 10 to 30 minutes. If
initialization is no t complete after
driving approximately 10 to 30 min-
utes, continue driving for a while.
If the inflation pressure of each tire
is not displayed after driving for
approximately 1 hour, perform the
following procedure.
●Park the vehicle in a safe place for
approximately 20 minutes. Then
drive straight (with occasional left
and right turns) at approximately
25 mph (40 km/h) or more for
approximately 10 to 30 minutes.
However, in the following situations,
the tire inflation pressure will not be
recorded and the system will not
operate properly. Perform initializa-
tion again.
●If the vehicle is reversed during
initialization, the data up to that
point is reset, so perform the ini-
tialization procedure again from
the beginning.
●When operating the tire pressure
warning reset switch, the tire pres-
sure warning light does not blink 3
times.

system is initialized before regis-
tering the ID code
s, the initialized
values will be invalid.
●ID codes can be registered by
yourself, but depending on the
driving conditions and driving
environment, registration may
take some time to complete.
■Canceling ID code registration
●To cancel ID code registration
after it has been started, turn the
engine switch off before driving
the vehicle. If the vehicle is driven
after ID code registration is
started, to cancel registration, per-
form the ID code registration start
procedure again and turn the
engine switch off before driving.
●If ID code registration has been
canceled, the tire pressure warn-
ing light will blink for approxi-
mately 1 minute when the engine
switch is turned to ON and then
illuminate. The tire pressure warn-
ing system will be operational
when the tire pressure warning
light turns off.
●If the warning light does not turn
off even after several minutes
have elapsed, ID code registration
may not have been canceled cor-
rectly. To cancel registration, per-
form the ID code registration start
procedure again and then turn the
engine switch off before driving.
■If ID codes are not registered
properly
In the following situations, ID code
registration may take longer than
usual to be completed or may not be
possible. Normally, registration com-
pletes within approximately 30 min-
utes.
●Vehicle is not parked for approxi-
mately 20 minutes or more before
driving
●Vehicle is not driven at approxi-
mately 25 mph (40 km/h) or more
●Vehicle is driven on unpaved roads
●Vehicle is driven near other vehi-
cles and system cannot recog-
nize tire pressure warning valve
and transmitters of your vehicle
over those of other vehicles
Wheel with tire pressure warning
valve and transmitter installed is
inside or near the vehicle
If registration does not complete
after driving for 1 hour or more, per-
form the ID code registration proce-
dure again from the beginning.
●If the vehicle is reversed during
registration, the data up to that
point is reset, so perform the reg-
istration procedure again from the
beginning.
●In the following situations, ID code
registration will not be started or
was not completed properly and
the system will not operate prop-
erly. Perform the ID code registra-
tion procedure again.
• If, when attempting to start ID
code registration, the tire pressure
warning light does not blink slowly
3 times.
• If, when the vehicle has been driven for about 20 minutes after
performing ID code registration,
the tire pressure warning light
blinks for approximately 1 minute
and then illuminates.
If the ID codes cannot be registered
even when performing the above
procedure, contact your Toyota
dealer.
