ing valve and transmitter. If a tire 
goes flat, the tire pressure warning 
light will not turn o ff even though the 
flat tire has been replaced with the 
spare tire. Replace the spare tire 
with the standard tire and adjust the 
tire inflation pressure. The tire pres-
sure warning light will go off after a 
few minutes.

sure warning system may not 
function properly

WARNING
■If a warning light comes on or 
a warning buzzer sounds 
when a warning message is 
shown on the multi-informa-
tion display
*
Check and follow the message 
shown on the multi-information 
display.
Failure to do so m ay result in 
death or serious injury.
*: Warning lights illuminate in red 
or yellow and the warning 
buzzer beeps on ce or sounds 
continuously.
■When the electric power 
steering system warning light 
comes on
When the light comes on yellow, 
the assist to the power steering is 
restricted. When  the light comes 
on red, the assist to the power 
steering is lost and handling oper-
ations of the steering wheel 
become extremely heavy.
If the steering wheel becomes 
heavier than usual when operat-
ing, hold firmly and operate using 
more force than usual.
■If the tire pr essure warning 
light comes on ( vehicles with 
tire pressure warning system)
Be sure to observe the following 
precautions. Failure to do so 
could cause a loss of vehicle con-
trol and result in death or serious 
injury.
●Stop your vehicle in a safe 
place as soon as possible. 
Adjust the tire inflation pressure 
immediately.
●If the tire pressure warning light 
comes on even after tire infla-
tion 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 Toyota dealer.
●Avoid abrupt maneuvering and 
braking. If the vehicle tires dete-
riorate, you could lose control of 
the steering wheel or the 
brakes.
■If a blowout or sudden air 
leakage should occur (vehi-
cles with tire pressure warn-
ing system)
The tire pressure  warning system 
may not activate immediately.

WARNING
■Maintenance of the tires 
(vehicles with tire pressure 
warning system)
Each tire, including the spare (if 
provided), should be checked 
monthly when cold and inflated to 
the inflation pressure recom-
mended by the vehicle manufac-
turer on the vehicle placard or tire 
inflation pressure label (tire and 
load information label). (If your 
vehicle has tires of a different size 
than the size indicated on the 
vehicle placard or tire inflation 
pressure label [tire and load infor-
mation label], you should deter-
mine the proper tire inflation 
pressure for those tires.)
As an added safe ty feature, your 
vehicle has been equipped with a 
tire pressure m onitoring system 
(TPMS-tire pressure warning sys-
tem) that illuminates a low tire 
pressure telltale (tire pressure 
warning light) when one or more 
of your tires is significantly under-
inflated. Accordingly, when the 
low tire pressure telltale (tire pres-
sure warning light) illuminates, 
you should stop and check your 
tires as soon as possible, and 
inflate them to the proper pres-
sure. Driving on a significantly 
under-inflated tire causes the tire 
to overheat and can lead to tire 
failure. Under-inflation also 
reduces fuel efficiency and tire 
tread life, and may affect the vehi-
cle’s handling and stopping abil-
ity.
Please note that the TPMS (tire 
pressure warning system) is not a 
substitute for proper tire mainte-
nance, and it is the driver’s 
responsibility to m aintain correct 
tire pressure, even  if under-infla-
tion has not reached the level to 
trigger illumination of the TPMS 
low tire pressure te lltale (tire pres-
sure warning light).
Your vehicle has also been 
equipped with a TPMS (tire pres-
sure warning system) malfunc-
tion indicator to indicate when the 
system is not operating properly. 
The TPMS (tire pressure warning 
system) malfunction indicator is 
combined with the low tire pres-
sure telltale (tire pressure warning 
light). When the  system detects a 
malfunction, the te lltale will flash 
for approximately one minute and 
then remain continuously illumi-
nated. This sequence will con-
tinue upon subsequent vehicle 
start-ups as long as the malfunc-
tion exists. When the malfunction 
indicator is illuminated, the sys-
tem may not be ab le to detect or 
signal low tire pressure as 
intended.
TPMS (tire pressure warning sys-
tem) malfunctions may occur for a 
variety of reasons, including the 
installation of replacement or 
alternate tires or wheels on the 
vehicle that prevent the TPMS 
(tire pressure warning system) 
from functioning properly. Always 
check the TPMS (tire pressure 
warning system) malfunction tell-
tale after replacing one or more 
tires or wheels on your vehicle to 
ensure that the replacement or 
alternate tires  and wheels allow 
the TPMS (tire pressure warning 
system) to continue to function 
properly.

used with your vehicle. Do not 
use it with other vehicles.
●And do not use jacks from other 
vehicles with your vehicle.
●Put the jack prope rly in its jack 
point.
●Do not put any part of your body 
under the vehicle while it is sup-
ported by the jack.
●Do not start the  engine or drive 
the vehicle while  the vehicle is

height greater than that required 
to replace the tire.
●Use a jack stand if it is neces-
sary to get under the vehicle.
●Stop the vehicle on firm, flat and 
level ground, firmly set the park-
ing brake and shift the shift 
lever to P. Block the wheel diag-
onally opposite to the one being 
changed if necessary.
●When lowering the vehicle,
