8 Drive the vehicle at approxi-
mately 25mph (40 km/h) or
more for approximately 10 to
30 minutes.
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 com-
pleted by driving for a long time.
However, if initialization 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.
■When initializing
●Vehicles with tire inflation pres-
sure display function only: Initial-
ization is perform ed while driving
at a vehicle speed of approxi-
mately 25 mph (40 km/h) or more.
●Make sure to carry out initializa-
tion after adjusting the tire inflation
pressure. Also, make sure the
tires are cold before carrying out
initialization or tire inflation pres-
sure adjustment.
●Vehicles with tire inflation pres-
sure display function only: The tire
pressure warning system can be
initialized by yourself, but depend-
ing on the driving conditions and
driving environment, initialization
may take some ti me to complete.
■The initialization operation
●If you have accidentally turned the
power switch to OFF during initial-

5977-3. Do-it-yourself maintenance

Maintenance and care
ization, it is not necessary to
restart the initialization again as
initialization will restart automati-
cally when the power switch has
been turned to ON for the next
time.
●If you accidentally perform initial-
ization when initi alization is not
necessary, adjust the tire inflation
pressure to the specified level
when the tires are cold, and con-
duct initialization again.
●Vehicles with tire inflation pres-
sure display function only: While
the position of each tire is being
determined and the inflation pres-
sures are not being displayed on
the multi-informatio n 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 (vehicles without tire
inflation pressure display func-
tion)
Initialization can be completed in a
few minutes. However, in the follow-
ing cases, the set tings have not
been recorded an d the system will
not operate properly. If repeated
attempts to record tire inflation pres-
sure settings are unsuccessful,
have the vehicle inspected by your
Toyota dealer.
●When operating the tire pressure
warning reset swit ch, the tire pres-
sure warning light does not blink 3
times.
●After driving for a certain period of
time since the initialization has
been completed, the warning light
comes on after blin king for 1 min-
ute.
■If the tire pressure warning sys-
tem is not initialized properly
(vehicles with tire inflation pres-
sure display function)
In the following sit uations, initializa-
tion may take longer than usual to
be completed or may not be possi- ble. Normally, initialization com-
pletes within ap
proximately 30
minutes.
●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 o f your vehicle
over those of other vehicles.
If initialization 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.
●If the vehicle is reversed during
initialization, the data up to that
point is reset, so p erform the ini-
tialization procedure again from
the beginning.
●In the following situations, initial-
ization will not be started or was
not completed properly and the
system will not oper ate properly.
Perform the initialization proce-
dure again.
• If, when attempting to start initial-
ization, the tire pressure warning
light does not blink 3 times.
• If, when the veh icle has been
driven for about 20 minutes after
performing initialization, the tire
pressure warning light blinks for
approximately 1 minute and then
illuminates.
If the inflation pressure of each tire
is still not display ed, have the vehi-
cle inspected by your Toyota dealer.
