inflation pressure TOYOTA LAND CRUISER 2006 J100 Owners Manual

viii
Tires and loading on your Toyota
Underinflated or overinflated tire inflation pressure
and the excess load may result in the deterioration
of steering ability and braking ability, leading to
an accident. Check the tire inflation pressure peri-
odically and be sure to keep the load limits given
in this Owner ’s Manual. For details about tire infla-
tion pressure and load limits, see pages 320 and
246.
Scrapping of your Toyota
The SRS airbag and seat belt pretensioner devices in
your Toyota contain explosive chemicals. If the vehicle
is scrapped with the airbags and pretensioners left as
they are, this may cause an accident such as fire. Be
sure to have the systems of the SRS airbag and seat
belt pretensioner removed and disposed of by a qualified
service shop or by your Toyota dealer before you dis-
pose of your vehicle.

16C521a
Low tire pressure warning light
The light warns you that the tire infla-
tion pressure is low.
The low tire pressure warning light comes
on when the ignition key is turned to the
“ON” position and goes off after a few
seconds. This means the low tire pres-
sure warning light is operating properly.
If the tire inflation pressure becomes low,
the light comes on again.If the low tire pressure warning light does
not go off or comes on during driving, it
indicates that tire inflation pressure is low.
Make sure there is no flat tire. If the
light comes on again even after tire infla-
tion pressure adjustment, you may have a
flat tire. If there is not adequate air
pressure in the tires, the light will not go
off.
The light may turn on due to natural
causes such as natural air leaks or tire
inflation pressure changes caused by tem-
perature. In this case, adjusting the tire
inflation pressure will turn off the light.
The tire pressure warning system is not
a substitute for checking tire inflation
pressure.
For details about adjusting the tire
inflation pressure, see “Checking tire
inflation pressure” on page 320.
If the low tire pressure warning light
comes on, the action you must take is
different depending on the type of tires
used.
Tire pressure warning system—

149
Stop your vehicle at a safe place as soon
as possible and check that the tire infla-
tion pressure is as specified on the tire
and loading information label. If the low
tire pressure warning light comes on even
after tire inflation pressure adjustment, it
is probable that you have a flat tire. If
the tire goes flat, change to the spare
tire. (See page 275.)
The spare tire is not equipped with the
tire pressure sensor. So, the low tire
pressure warning light remains on even if
the spare tire is mounted.
The light goes off a few minutes after air
is put into the deflated tire.CAUTION
If the low tire pressure warning light
comes on, observe the following in-
structions:
Decelerate as soon as possible to
the most appropriate speed that
conditions permit.
Avoid abrupt steering wheel maneu-
vering and braking. If the vehicle
tires deteriorate, you could lose
control of the steering wheel or the
brakes, causing death or serious in-
jury.
The warning system may not acti-
vate immediately if bursts or sud-
den air leakage should occur.
Each tire, including the spare (if pro-
vided), should be checked monthly
when cold and inflated to the inflation
pressure recommended by the vehicle
manufacture on the vehicle placard or
tire inflation pressure label. (If your
vehicle has tires of a different size
than the size indicated on the vehicle
placard or tire inflation pressure la-
bel, you should consult the appropri-
ate section of the owner ’s manual to
determine the proper tire inflation
pressure.) When the low tire pressure
telltale is illuminated, one or more of
your tires is significantly underin-
flated. You should stop and check
your tires as soon as possible, and
inflate them to the proper pressure as
indicated on the vehicle’s tire infor-
mation placard. Driving on a signifi-
cantly underinflated tire causes the
tire to overheat and can lead to tire
failure. Underinflation also reduces
fuel efficiency and tire tread life, and
may affect the vehicle’s handling and
stopping ability.

150
Your vehicle has also been equipped
with a TPMS malfunction telltale to
indicate when the system is not oper-
ating properly. When the malfunction
telltale is illuminated, the system may
not be able to detect or signal low
tire pressure as intended. TPMS mal-
function may occur for a variety of
reasons, including the installation of
incompatible replacement tires on the
vehicle. Always check the TPMS mal-
function telltale after replacing one or
more tires on your vehicle to ensure
that the replacement tires are compat-
ible with the TPMS.NOTICE
Do not use liquid sealants for a flat
tire as tire 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 tire pres-
sure sensors as well.
 Tire inflation pressure should be
adjusted for all 5 tires (including a
spare tire).
Warning tends to turn on when
driving at lower outside tempera-
ture, such as in winter, because tire
inflation pressure will be decreased
due to the low temperature. In this
case, after adjustment and initializa-
tion, leave the ignition on for about
20 minutes and increase the tire
inflation pressure by 20 to 30 kPa.

152
Reorient or relocate the receiving an-
tenna.
Increase the separation between the
equipment and receiver.
Connect the equipment into an outlet
on a circuit different from that to
which the receiver is connected.
Consult the dealer or an experienced
radio / TV technician for help.
FCC WARNING:
Changes or modifications not ex-
pressly approved by the party respon-
sible for compliance could void the
user’s authority to operate the equip-
ment.
—Replacing tires and wheels
As you might have difficulty in locating
a flat or deflated tire, a tire pressure
warning system should be installed on
the tires of this vehicle.
When replacing the wheels, be sure to
install tire pressure sensors on the
wheels.
There are 3 ways to set up the tire pres-
sure sensors: a. Remove the sensor from the old wheel and install it to the new wheel.
b. Keep the same wheel with tire pres- sure sensor and replace the tire alone.
c. Use a new wheel and sensor.
You have to register an ID code for a
new sensor. Up to 2 sets of codes
can be registered. As one ID for the
originally installed sensor is registered
at “MAIN” of the selector switch, use
the “2nd” position to register an ID for
the new sensor.
You do not need to re −register the ID
code for any other replacements. For
the use of the originally installed tires,
put the selector switch at “MAIN” and
for the use of tires set purchased later,
put the switch at “2nd”. For the sen-
sor selector switch, see page 154.NOTICE
 Have the tires, wheels or sensors
replaced and ID codes registered by
Toyota dealer. If you need sensors,
purchase from Toyota dealer.
 The sensor nuts should always be
tightened to a torque of 4 N·m (0.4
kgf·m, 2.9 ft·lbf).
 The use of nongenuine wheels will
cause the tire pressure sensors to
transmit the electronic code in dif-
ferent manner, resulting in the fail-
ure of the system.
 Initialization should be performed
with the tires adjusted with the
tires adjusted at the specified set
tire inflation pressure. If they are
not adjusted properly, tire inflation
pressure to be warned will not be
appropriate. It takes about 20 min-
utes for initialization. Leave the
ignition on for about 20 minutes
after initialization.

TIRE PRESSURE WARNING SYSTEM RE-
SET SWITCH
The tire pressure warning system needs
to be initialized in the following condi-
tions:
After changing the set pressure
along with the change of the loading
condition or vehicle speed condition
After replacing the ECU
After replacing or tires or wheels
After replacing the tire 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” on page 344.)
3. Start the engine.
4. Push and hold the reset switch until the low tire pressure warning light
blinks three times.
Do not turn the engine off for about 20
minutes until initialization is complete.
16C522a
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 inflation 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.

154
If the low tire pressure warning light does
not blink when you push and hold the
reset switch, have the tire pressure warn-
ing system checked at your Toyota dealer.
NOTICE
Do not turn the engine switch off
during initialization, or the system
may not function properly due to
incomplete initialization.
 Check which tires are being used
before initialization of the system,
and also check the selector switch
position. (See the following “Selec-
tor switch”.)
—Selector switch
16C524a
1. Main position
2. 2nd position
The selector switch is located in the
glove box.
The ID code is given in the tire pres-
sure sensor. To activate the tire pres-
sure warning system, it is necessary to
register the ID code of the sensor on
the selector switch in the vehicle.
2 sets of ID codes can be registered.
The code of the tires originally installed
on the vehicle is registered on the switch
at “MAIN”. Have a new tires set with
new tire pressure sensors registered at
“2nd” by Toyota dealer. ID codes should be registered by Toyota
dealer. Once registered, change the set-
ting position each time you purchase tires
and wheels. Re
−registration is not re-
quired.
When purchasing new tires, consult your
Toyota dealer.
CAUTION
When the tires whose ID code is
registered at “MAIN” are used, the
system does not work properly with
the selector switch set at “2nd”. If
the tires whose ID code is registered
at “2nd” are stored nearby, the sys-
tem will detect their tire inflation
pressure (and vice versa).

7. “TUBELESS” or “TUBE TYPE”
—A tubeless tire does not have a
tube inside the tire and air is direct-
ly filled in the tire. A tube type tire
has a tube inside the tire and the
tube maintains the air pressure.
8. Uniform tire quality grad- ing— For details, see “Uniform tire
quality grading” that follows.
9. Load limit at maximum cold tire inflation pressure— For details,
