The seat belt pretensioners are controlled
by the airbag sensor assembly. The airbag
sensor assembly consists of a safing sen-
sor and airbag sensor.
When the seat belt pretensioners are acti-
vated, an operating noise may be heard
and a small amount of non−toxic gas may
be released. This does not indicate that
a fire is occurring. This gas is normally
harmless.
Once the seat belt pretensioners have
been activated, the seat belt retractors
remain locked.
CAUTION
Do not modify, remove, strike or open
the seat belt pretensioner assemblies,
airbag sensor or surrounding area or
wiring. Failure to follow these instruc-
tions may prevent the seat belt pre-
tensioners from activating correctly,
cause sudden operation of the system
or disable the system, which could
result in death or serious injury. Con-
sult your Toyota dealer about any re-
pair and modification.

NOTICE
Do not use liquid sealants for a flat
tire as air pressure sensors will be
damaged.
 When the tires must be repaired or
replaced, have them repaired or re-
placed by the nearest Toyota dealer
or authorized tire dealer. The tire
pressure sensors will be affected by
the installation or removal of tires.
 The tire pressure warning system is
not to be used as a substitute for
regular inspections. Be sure to
check the air pressure in the tires
on a regular basis.
 When the tires must be replaced,
replace the grommets for air pres-
sure sensors as well.
If the warning light blinks:
The tire pressure warning system may
be malfunctioning. Contact your Toyota
dealer.
SYSTEM MALFUNCTION
The tire pressure warning system does
not function properly under certain cir-
cumstances. In the following cases, the
low tire pressure warning light may not
come on even if the tire inflation pres-
sure is low, or it may come on when
the tire inflation pressure is actually
normal.
Electric devices or facilities using simi-
lar radio wave frequencies are nearby.
A radio set to similar frequencies is in
use.
A lot of snow or ice covers the ve-
hicle, in particular, around the wheels
or wheel housings.
The tires are not equipped with an air
pressure sensor.
Snow tires or tire chains are used.
Non −genuine Toyota wheels are used.
The sensor battery is expired.
Radio waves from the air pressure sen-
sor installed on the spare tire cannot
be received.
CAUTION
The use of nongenuine wheels will
cause the air pressure sensors to
transmit the electronic code in dif-
ferent manner, resulting in the sys-
tem failure.
The use of different type of tires
with genuine wheels may also
cause the malfunction of the sys-
tem.
