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.

SYSTEM MALFUNCTION
If the low tire pressure warning light
blinks, it indicates a system malfunc-
tion. Contact your Toyota dealer.
The system will be disabled in the condi-
tions below:
Electric devices or facilities using simi-
lar radio wave frequencies are nearby.
If a radio set at similar frequencies is
in use.
Much snowflakes or ice gets on the
vehicle, in particular, around the wheels
or wheel housings.
Non−genuine Toyota wheels are used.
Snow tires or tire chains are used.
The sensor battery is expired.
The tires not equipped with tire pres-
sure sensor are used.
Radio waves from the air pressure sen-
sor installed on the spare tire cannot
be received.
Although the tires are equipped with
tire pressure sensors, the selector
switch (see page 154) is set to other
tire setting.
NOTICE
 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.
 The use of tires other than origi-
nally installed with genuine wheels
may also cause the malfunction of
the system.
This device complies with Part 15 of the
FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the
following two conditions: (1) This device
may not cause harmful interference, and
(2) this device must accept any interfer-
ence received, including interference
that may cause undesired operation.
NOTICE:
This equipment has been tested and
found to comply with the limits for a
Class B digital device, pursuant to Part
15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are
designed to provide reasonable protec-
tion against harmful interference in a
residential installation. This equipment
generates, uses and can radiate radio
frequency energy and, if not installed
and used in accordance with the instruc-
tions, may cause harmful interference to
radio communications. However, there is
no guarantee that interference will not
occur in a particular installation. If this
equipment does cause harmful interfer-
ence to radio or television reception,
which can be determined by turning the
equipment off and on, the user is en-
couraged to try to correct the interfer-
ence by one or more of the following
measures:

Limitedslip differential
Some Toyotas are equipped with a lim-
ited−slip differential. If one of the rear
wheels begins to spin, the limited −slip dif-
ferential is designed to aid traction by
automatically transmitting driving force to
the other rear wheel. If you are not sure
whether your vehicle is equipped with one,
you can ask your Toyota dealer.
CAUTION
Do not start or run the engine while
your vehicle is supported by a jack.
The vehicle could be driven off the
jack and could pose a danger or re-
sult in serious injury.
NOTICE
Use only a spare tire of the same
size, construction and load capacity
as the original tires on your Toyota
because damage to the limitedslip
differential could possibly occur with
another tire type.
The vehicle identification number (VIN)
is the legal identifier for your vehicle.
This number is on the left top of the
instrument panel, and can be seen
through the windshield from outside.
This is the primary identification number
for your Toyota. It is used in registering
the ownership of your vehicle.

The vehicle identification number (VIN) is
also on the Certification Label.

4. After the tire is lowered completelyto the ground, remove the holding
bracket as shown in the illustration.When storing the spare tire, put it in
place with the outer side of the wheel
facing up and hook the holding brack-
et as shown in the illustration. Then
secure the ti re, taking care that the
tire goes straight up without catching
on any other part, to prevent it from
moving during a collision or sudden
braking.
Check the tire from the side to see
that the tire is stored horizontally.
—Blocking the wheel
2. Block the wheel diagonally op- posite the flat tire to keep the
vehicle from rolling when it is
jacked up.
When blocking the wheel, place a
wheel block in front of one of the front
wheels or behind one of the rear
wheels.

283
To raise the vehicl
e, insert the jack
handle end into the joint of the jack
(it is a loose fit) and turn it clockwise
with the handle, making sure the han-
dle remains firmly fitted onto the jack
handle extension. As the jack touches
the vehicle and begins to lift, double −
check that it is properly positioned.
CAUTION
Never get under the vehicle when
the vehicle is supported by the
jack alone.
—Changing wheels
7. Remove the wheel nuts and change tires.
Lift the flat tire straight off and put it
aside.
Roll the spare wheel into position and
align the holes in the wheel with the
bolts. Then lift up the wheel and get
at least the top bolt started through
its hole. Wiggle the tire and press it
back over the other bolts.Before putting on wheels, remove any
corrosion on the mounting surfaces
with a wire brush or such. Installation
of wheels without good metal− to−met-
al contact at the mounting surface can
cause wheel nuts to loosen and
eventually cause a wheel to come off
while driving.
