LOW TIRE PRESSURE WARNING LIGHT
This light comes on when the ignition key
is turned to the “ON” position. It goes off
after a few seconds. This indicates that
the tire pressure warning system is func-
tioning properly.
If the low tire pressure warning light
comes on or blinks while driving, do
the following.
If the warning light comes on:
Vehicles with standard tires—1. Adjust the tire inflation pressure to the specified level as soon as pos-
sible. (See “Tires” on page 501 in
Section 8.) 2. Vehicles with vehicle stability control
system—Push the tire pressure warn-
ing system reset switch for a few
seconds and make sure the warning
light goes off.
Vehicles without vehicle stability control
system—Once the ignition switch is turned
off, the warning light also goes off. If the
light comes on again when the vehicle is
started after adjusting the tire inflation
pressure to the specified level, have the
tire pressure warning system checked at
your Toyota dealer.
Vehicles with vehicle stability control sys-
tem—If the light remains on after the re-
set switch has been pushed, have the tire
pressure warning system checked at your
Toyota dealer.
If you have a flat tire, replace it with the
spare tire. For details, see “If you have
a flat tire” on page 421 in Section 4.
Vehicles with runflat tires—
1. Decelerate at a speed below 90 km/h (55 mph), then adjust the tire pres-
sure to the specified level as soon
as possible. Do not drive more than
160 km (100 miles). 2. Vehicles with vehicle stability control
system—Push the tire pressure warn-
ing system reset switch for a few
seconds and make sure the warning
light goes off.
When the tire inflation pressure is be-
low 140 kPa (1.4 kgf/cm2 or bar, 20
psi), consult your Toyota dealer. If the
tire is flat or the tire inflation pressure
is below 100 kPa (1.0 kgf/cm
2 or bar,
15 psi), the tire must be replaced. Do
not use the repaired tire.
When the tire inflation pressure is 140
kPa (1.4 kgf/cm2 or bar, 20 psi) or
more, adjust it to specified level. (See
“Tires” on page 501 in Section 8.)
Vehicles without vehicle stability control
system—Once the ignition switch is turned
off, the warning light also goes off. If the
light comes on again when the vehicle is
started after adjusting the tire pressure to
the specified level, have the tire pressure
warning system checked at your Toyota
dealer.
Vehicles with vehicle stability control sys-
tem—If the light remains on after the re-
set switch has been pushed, have the tire
pressure warning system checked at your

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.
The tread wear is uneven among the
tires.
A compact spare tire, snow tires, or
tire chains are used.
The tire inflation pressure is excessive-
ly higher than specified, or tire inflation
pressure suddenly drops due to burst-
ing or other causes.
The vehicle is driven on a slippery
road surface such as rough or frozen
roads.
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.
The tires differ in tread pattern or
manufacturer.
The tires are not the specified size.
The tread wear is very different among
the installed tires.
The pressure of two or more tires
drops at the same time.
Rapid acceleration/deceleration or
sharp turns is continue.
Towing a trailer.
The loading is over the limit or imbal-
anced.
Initialization was not performed correct-
ly after replacing or rotating tires or
wheels.
Vehicles with vehicle stability control
system—The outside temperature is be-
low 0 C (32F) or above 40 C (104 F).
CAUTION
When the tire pressure warning light
comes on, observe the following in-
structions:
Vehicles with the standard tires—
Adjust the tire inflation pressure to
the specified level as soon as pos-
sible.
Vehicles with the runflat tires—
Decelerate as soon as possible to
the lowest appropriate speed that
conditions permit. Do not drive for
longer than 160 km (100 miles) or
over 90 km/h (55 mph).
Avoid abrupt steering wheel maneu-
vering and braking. If the vehicle
tires deteriorate, you could lose
control of the steering wheel or the
brakes, causing death or serious in-
jury.

1. Reduce your speed gradually,keeping a straight line. Move cau-
tiously off the road to a safe place
well away from the traffic. Avoid
stopping on the center divider of
a highway. Park on a level spot
with firm ground.
2. Stop the engine and turn on your emergency flashers.

deflated tire. Driving even a
short distance can damage a
tire and wheel beyond repair.
COMPACT SPARE TIRE
The compact spare tire is designed
for temporary emergency use only.
The compact spare tire is identified
by the distinctive wording
“TEMPORARY USE ONLY” molded
into the side wall of the tire.
The compact spare tire saves space
in your luggage compartment, and its
lighter weight helps to improve fuel
economy and permits easier installa-
tion in case of a flat tire. The compact spare tire can be used
many times, if necessary. It has tread
life of up to 4800 km (3000 miles) de-
pending on road conditions and your
driving habits. When tread wear indi-
cators appear on the tire, replace the
tire.
See also the tire information on page
471 in Section 7−
2 for details on the
tread wear indicators and other ser-
vice information.CAUTION
 The compact spare tire was de-
signed especially for your To-
yota. Do not use it on any other
vehicle.
 Do not use more than one com-
pact spare tire at the same
time.
 The pressure for the compact
spare tire must be 420 kPa (4.2
kgf/cm
2 or bar, 60 psi).
 Do not exceed 80 km/h (50
mph) when driving with the
compact spare tire.
If you have a flat tire—

Replace the compact spare tire
with the standard tire as soon
as possible.
 Avoid sudden a cceleration,
sudden d eceleration and sharp
turns with the compact spare
tire.
NOTICE
Your ground clearance is re-
duced when the compact spare
tire is installed so avoid driving
over obstacles and drive slowly
on rough, unpaved roads and
speed bumps. Also, do not at-
tempt to go through an auto-
matic car wash as the vehicle
may get caught, resulting in
damage.
Some vehicles are equipped with
runflat (RFT) tires. The runflat
tire allows you to continue driving
for up to 160 km (100 miles) at a
speed below 90 km/h (55 mph)
even if any tire goes flat. However,
in some conditions (such as high
temperatures), you could not con-
tinue driving for up to 160 km (100
miles).
A spare tire is not provided on ve-
hicles with runflat tires. When the tire goes flat or when the
tire pressure is below 100 kPa (1.0
kgf/cm
2 or bar, 15 psi), the tire
must be replaced. If you are not
sure, consult your Toyota dealer.
Do not use the repaired tire.
There is an “RFT” or “DSST” mark on
the sidewall of the run −flat tire.
For details about the run −flat tire, see
“Run −flat tires” on page 476 in Sec-
tion 7 −2.

until the jack base fits securely with
the vehicle body.
This prevents the jack from flying for-
ward during a collision or sudden
stop.To remove the wheel nut wrench, first
disengage the upper part of the
wrench from the holding bracket and
remove it.
When storing the wheel nut wrench,
make sure the wr ench is securely
held.To remove the spare tire:
1. Slide the front passenger ’s seat to the front −most lock position and
the right side second seat to the
rear −most lock position so they
will not interfere with the wheel nut
wrench.

the wheel nut wrench.3. After the tire is lowered completelyto the ground, remove the holding
bracket.
When storing the spare tire, put it in
place with the outer side of the wheel
facing up. Then secure the tire, taking
care that the tire goes straight up
without catching on any other part, to
prevent it from flying forward during
a collision or sudden braking.
As the tire carrier is designed for the
compact spare tire, the standard tire
cannot be stored there.
CAUTION
Do not remove the spare tire
when jacking up the vehicle. The
tire carrier and the spare tire may
interfere with the jack and cause
a serious accident.
NOTICE
 To secure spare tire clamp
bolt:
Do not use impact wrench,
but wheel nut wrench.
 After taking out or stowing
the spare tire, make sure to
secure the tire carrier by
tightening the clamp bolt to
prevent the holding bracket
from hitting the under body
of the vehicle during driving.
 Do not store the flat spare
tire with the tire carrier so it
may not be held securely.
