CAUTION
Always keep your foot on the brake
pedal while stopped with the engine
running. This prevents the vehicle
from creeping.
NOTICE
Do not hold the vehicle on an up-
grade with the accelerator pedal. It
can cause the transmission to over-
heat. Always use the brake pedal or
parking brake.
The traction control system automatical-
ly helps prevent the spinning of front
wheels when the vehicle is started or
accelerated on slippery road surfaces.
When the ignition key is turned to “ON”,
the system automatically turns on.
CAUTION
Under certain slippery road condi-
tions, full traction of the vehicle and
power against front wheels cannot be
maintained, even though the traction
control system is in operation. Do not
drive the vehicle under any speed or
maneuvering conditions which may
cause the vehicle to lose traction
control. In situations where the road
surface is covered with ice or snow,
your vehicle should be fitted with
snow tires or tire chains. Always
drive at an appropriate and cautious
speed for the present road condi-
tions.
NORMAL DRIVING MODE
Leave the system on during the ordi-
nary driving so that it can operate
when needed.
You may hear a sound in the engine
compartment for a few seconds when the
engine is started or just after the vehicle
is started. This means that the traction
control system is in the self check mode,
but does not indicate a 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 pressure is
low, or it may come on when the tire
pressure is actually normal.
The tread wear is uneven among the
installed tires.
A compact spare tire, snow tires, or
tire chains are used.
The tire pressure is excessively higher
than specified, or tire pressure is sud-
denly reduced due to bursts or other
causes.
The vehicle is driven on a slippery
road surface such as rough road and
frozen road.
The vehicle speed is less than 30 km/h
(19 mph) or more than 100 km/h (62
mph), and the driving duration is less
than 5 minutes.
TIRE PRESSURE WARNING SYSTEM
RESET SWITCH
Pushing this reset switch after replac-
ing or rotating tires or wheels memo-
ries the present tire condition as a
standard.
After replacing or rotating the tires or
wheels, perform the initial adjustment as
follows.1. Park the vehicle at a safe place and apply the parking brake. Stop the en-
gine.
2. Adjust pressures of all the installed tires to the specified level. (See “Tires”
in Section 8.)
3. Turn the ignition key to “ON”. 4. With the vehicle stopped, push the re-
set switch on the left lower instrument
panel and hold it until the low tire
pressure warning light blinks for three
times.
5. The initial adjustment is completed af- ter driving at the speeds of 30 km/h
(19 mph) or over for about total 8
hours, when the tire pressure warning
system detects the normal tire pressur-
es.
Do not push the reset switch without ad-
justing the tire pressure to the specified
level. Otherwise, the low tire pressure
warning light may not come on even if the
tire pressure is low, or it may come on
when the tire pressure is actually normal.
If you push the reset switch while the
vehicle is moving, the initial adjustment is
not performed.
If the low tire pressure warning light does
not blink when you push and hold the
reset switch, have the low pressure warn-
ing system checked at your Toyota dealer.
