OFF. If the tires are rotated while
the power switch is in ON, the tire
position information will not be
updated. If this accidentally occurs,
either turn the power switch to OFF
and then to ON, or initialize the sys-
tem after checking that the tire pres-
sure is properly adjusted.
Your vehicle is equipped with a
tire pressure warning system
that uses tire pressure warning
valves and transmitters to detect
low tire inflation pressure before
serious problems arise.
The tire pressure warning sys-
tem of this vehicle adopts a 2-
type warning system
 When “Adjust Pressure” is
displayed (Normal Warning)
The tire pressure warning light
comes on and a buzzer sounds
when the tire inflation pressure
becomes low due to natural air
leakage or outside temperature.
(Ways of coping: P.518, 555)
 When “Immediately Check
tire when Safe” is displayed
(Emergency Warning)
The tire pressure warning light
comes on and a buzzer sounds
when the tire inflation pressure
becomes low suddenly due to a
blowout. (Ways of coping: P.518,
527) However, the system may not
be able to detect sudden tire rup-
tures (bursting, etc.).
The tire pressure detected by
the tire pressure warning sys- tem can be displayed on the
multi-information display.
The unit can be changed.
■How to change the unit
1 Park the vehicle in a safe
place and turn the power
switch off.
Changing the unit cannot be per-
formed while the vehicle is moving.
2Turn the power switch to ON.

■Routine tire inflation pressure
checks
The tire pressure warning system
does not replace routine tire inflation
pressure checks. Make sure to
check tire inflation pressure as part
of your routine of daily vehicle
checks.
■Tire inflation pressure
●It may take a few minutes to dis-
play the tire inflation pressure
after the power switch is turned to
ON. It may also take a few min-
utes to display the tire inflation
pressure after inflation pressure
has been adjusted.
●Tire inflation p ressure changes
with temperature.
The displayed values may also be
different from th e values mea-
sured using a tire pressure gauge.
■Situations in which the tire
pressure warning system may
not operate properly
●In the following cases, the tire
pressure warning system may not
operate properly.
• If non-genuine Toyota wheels are used.
• A tire has been replaced with a tire that is not an OE (Original
Equipment) tire.
• A tire has been replaced with a tire that is not of the specified size.
• Tire chains, etc. are equipped.
• An auxiliary-supported run-flat tire
is equipped.
• If a window tint that affects the
radio wave signals is installed.
• If there is a lot of snow or ice on the vehicle, particularly around the
wheels or wheel housings. • If the tire inflation pressure is
extremely higher than the speci-
fied level.
• If wheel withou t tire pressure
warning valves and transmitters
are used.
• If the ID code on the tire pressure
warning valves and transmitters is
not registered in the tire pressure
warning computer.
●Performance may be affected in
the following situations.
• Near a TV tower, electric power plant, gas station, radio station,
large display, airpo rt or other facil-
ity that generates strong radio
waves or electrical noise
• When carrying a portable radio,
cellular phone, cordless phone or
other wireless communication
device
If tire position information is not
correctly displayed due to the
radio wave conditions, the display
may be corrected by driving and
changing the radio wave condi-
tions.
●When the vehicle is parked, the
time taken for the warning to start
or go off could be extended.
●When tire inflation pressure
declines rapidly for example when
a tire has burst, the warning may
not function.
■Warning performance of the tire
pressure warning system
The warning of the tire pressure
warning system w ill change in
accordance with the conditions
under which it was initialized. For
this reason, the system may give a
warning even if th e tire pressure
does not reach a low enough level,
or if the pressure is higher than the
pressure that was adjusted to when
the system was initialized.

system will not work properly . After
driving for about 20 minutes, the tire
pressure warning light blinks for 1
minute and stays on to indicate a
system malfunction.
■The tire pressure warning
system must be initialized
in the following circum-
stances:
 When rotating the tires. 
When changing the tire.
 After registering the ID codes.
( P.476)
 When changing between two
registered wheel sets.
When the tire pressure warning
system is initialized, the current
tire inflation pressure is set as
the benchmark pressure.
■How to initialize the tire
pressure warning system
1 Park the vehicle in a safe
place and stop the hybrid
system for 20 minutes or
more.
Initialization cannot be performed
while the vehicle is moving.
2Adjust the tire inflation pres-
sure to the specified cold tire
inflation pressure level.

multi-information di splay. Also, “--”
is displayed for inflation pressure of
each tire on the multi-information
display while the tire pressure
warning system determines the
position.
8 Drive straight (with occa-
sional left and right turns) at
approximately 25mph (40
km/h) or more for approxi-
mately 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, initializat ion can be com-
pleted by driving for a long time.
However, if initia lization does not
complete after driving for 1 hour or
more, park the vehicle in a safe
place for approximately 20 minutes
and then drive th e vehicle again.
■When initializing
●Initialization is performed while
driving at a veh icle speed of
approximately 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.
●The tire pressure warning system
can be initialized by yourself, but
depending on the driving condi-
tions and driving environment, ini-
tialization may take some time to
complete.
■The initialization operation
●If you have accidentally turned the
power switch to OFF during initial-
ization, it is not necessary to
restart the initialization again as
initialization will re start automati-
cally when the power switch has
been turned to ON for the next
time.
●If you accidentally perform initial-
ization when initia lization is not
necessary, adjust the tire inflation
pressure to the s pecified 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-information display, if
the inflation pressure of a tire
drops, the tire pressure warning
light will come on.
■If the tire pressure warning sys-
tem is not initia lized properly
●In the following situations, initial-
ization may take longer than usual
to be completed or may not be
possible. Normally, initialization
completes within approximately
30 minutes.
• Vehicle is not driven at approxi- mately 25 mph (40 km/h) or more

4767-3. Do-it-yourself maintenance
• 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.
• If the vehicle is driven in heavy traffic or another situation where
other vehicles are driven close by,
it may take time for the system to
recognize the tire pressure warn-
ing valve and tran smitters of your
vehicle over those of other vehi-
cles.
●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 perform 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 ope rate 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 vehicle has been
driven for about 20 minutes after
performing initialization, the tire
pressure warning light blinks for
approximately 1 minute and then
illuminates.
If initialization cannot be completed
after performing the above proce-
dure, contact your Toyota dealer.
Every tire pressure warning
valve and transmitter has a
unique ID code. When replacing
a tire pressure warning valve
and transmitter, it is necessary
to register the ID code.
When registering the ID codes,
