install them to the replace-
ment wiper insert.
5 Insert the wiper insert starting
from the claw at the center of
the wiper blade. Pass the
wiper insert through the 3
claws so that it sticks out
from the stopper, and then
pass the wiper insert through
the final remaining claw.
Applying a small amount of washer
fluid to the wiper insert can make it
easier to insert the claws into the
grooves.
6Check that the wiper blade
claws are fitted in the
grooves of the wiper insert.
If the wiper blade claws are not fit-
ted in the grooves of the wiper
insert, grasp the wiper insert and
slide it back and fo rth multiple times
to insert the claws into the grooves.
Lightly lift up the center of the wiper
insert to make the rubber easier to slide.

When installing a wiper
blade, reverse the procedure
in step 1.
After installing the wiper blade,
check that the connection is locked.
■Wiper blade and wiper insert
handling
Improper handling may result in
damage to the wiper blades or wiper
insert. If you have any concerns
about replacing the wiper blades or
wiper insert yourself, contact your
Toyota dealer.
NOTICE
■When lifting the windshield
wipers
●When raising the wiper arms off
the windshield, lift up the driver
side first, and then lift up pas-
senger side. When returning the
wipers to their original position,
return the passenger side first.
●Do not lift a windshield wiper by
the wiper blade. Otherwise, the
wiper blade may be deformed.
●Do not operate the wiper lever

When trouble arises
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.
