5164-3. Do-it-yourself maintenance
VENZA_OM_OM73030U_(U) CAUTION■
Proper inflation is critical to save tire performance
Keep your tires properly inflated.
If the tires are not properly inflated , the following cond itions may occur
which could lead to an accident resulting in death or serious injury: ●
Excessive wear●
Uneven wear●
Poor handling●
Possibility of blowouts resu lting from overheated tires●
Air leaking from between tire and wheel●
Wheel deformation and / or tire damage●
Greater possibility of tire damage wh ile driving (due to road hazards,
expansion joints, sharp edges in the road, etc.)
NOTICE■
When inspecting and adjusting tire inflation pressure
Be sure to reinstall the tire valve caps.
If a valve cap is not installed, dirt or moisture may get into the valve and
cause an air leak, resulting in decreased tire inflation pressure.

5184-3. Do-it-yourself maintenance
VENZA_OM_OM73030U_(U) ■
When replacing wheels
The wheels of your Toyota are equipped with tire pressure warning
valves and transmitters that allow the tire pressure warning system to
provide advanced warning in the event of a loss in tire inflation pressure.
Whenever wheels are replaced, the tire pressure warning valves and
transmitters must be installed. (  P. 507)
CAUTION■
When replacing wheels ●
Do not use wheels that are a different size from those recommended in
the Owner’s Manual, as this may re sult in loss of handling control.●
Never use an inner tube in a leaking wheel which is designed for a
tubeless tire. Doing so may result in an accident, causing death or seri-
ous injury.

Tire pressure warning
light
When the light comes on:
Low tire inflation pressure
such as
• Natural causes (  P. 573)
• Flat tire (  P. 579) Adjust the tire inflation
pressure to the specified
level.
The light will turn off after
a few minutes. In case
the light does not turn off
even if the tire inflation
pressure is adjusted,
have the system checked
by your Toyota dealer.
When the light comes on
after blinking for 1 minute:
Malfunction in the tire
pressure warning system.
(  P. 575) Have the system checked
by your Toyota dealer.

VENZA_OM_OM73030U_(U) ■ SRS warning light
This warning light system monitors the airbag sensor assembly, front airbag
sensors, side and curtain shield airbag sensors, curtain shield airbag sen-
sors, driver’s seat position sensor, driver’s seat belt buckle switch, front pas-
senger occupant classification system (ECU and sensors), “AIR BAG ON”
indicator light, “AIR BAG OFF” indicator light, front passenger’s seat belt

wiring and power sources. (  P. 121)
■
The tire pressure warning light may come on due to natural causes
The tire pressure warning light may come on due to natural causes such
as natural air leaks or tire inflation pressure changes caused by temper-
ature. In this case, adjusting the ti re inflation pressu re will turn off the
warning light (after a few minutes).■
When a tire is replaced with a spare tire
The compact spare tire is not equipped with the tire pressure warning
valve and transmitter. If a tire goes flat, the tire pressure warning light will
not turn off even though the flat tire is replaced with the spare tire.
Replace the spare tire with the repair ed tire and adjust the proper tire
inflation pressure. The ti re pressure warn ing light will turn off after a few
minutes.

VENZA_OM_OM73030U_(U) ■
If the tire pressure warning system is inoperative
The tire pressure warning system will be disabled in the following condi-
tions:
(When the condition becomes normal, the system will work properly.) ●
If tires not equipped with tire pressure warning valves and transmit-
ters are used.●
If the ID code on the tire pressure warning valves and transmitters is
not registered in the tire pressure warning computer.●
If the tire inflation pressure is 73 psi (500 kPa, 5.1 kgf/cm 2
or bar) or
higher.
The tire pressure warning system may be disabled in the following condi-
tions:
(When the condition becomes normal, the system will work properly.) ●
If electronic devices or facilities us ing similar radio wave frequencies
are nearby.●
If a radio set at similar frequencies is in use in the vehicle.●
If a window tint that affects the radio wave signals is installed.●
If there is a lot of snow or ice on the vehicle, in particular around the
wheels or wheel housings.●
If non-genuine Toyota wheels are used. (Even if you use Toyota
wheels, the tire pressu re warning system may not work properly with
some types of tires.)●
If tire chains are used.

If the tire pressure warning light frequently comes on after blinking
for 1 minute
Vehicles with smart key system
If the tire pressure warning light frequently comes on after blinking for
1 minute when the “ENGINE START ST OP” switch is turned to IGNI-
TION ON mode, have it checked by your Toyota dealer.
Vehicles without smart key system
If the tire pressure warning light comes on after blinking 1 minute fre-
quently when the engine switch is tu rned to the “ON” position, have it
checked by your Toyota dealer.
CAUTION■
When the electric power steering system warning light comes on
The steering wheel may become extrem ely heavy. If the steering wheel
becomes heavier than usual when operating, hold firmly and operate
using more force than usual.■
If the tire pressure warning light comes on
Be sure to observe the following precautions. Failure to do so could
cause loss of vehicle control and result in death or serious injury. ●
Stop your vehicle in a safe place as soon as possible. Adjust the tire
inflation pressure immediately. ●
If the tire pressure warning light comes on even after tire inflation pres-
sure adjustment, it is pr obable that you have a flat tire. Check the tires.
If the tire is flat, change to the spare tire and have the flat tire repaired
by the nearest Toyota dealer.
●
Avoid abrupt maneuvering and braking. If the vehicle tires deteriorate,
you could lose control of the steering wheel or the brakes.

5765-2. Steps to take in an emergency
VENZA_OM_OM73030U_(U) CAUTION■
If a blowout or sudden air loss should occur
The tire pressure warning syste m may not activate immediately.■
Maintenance of the tires
Each tire, including the spare (if provided), should be checked monthly
when cold and inflated to the inflation pressure recommended by the
vehicle manufacturer on the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure
label (tire and load information label). (If your vehicle has tires of a differ-
ent size than the size indicated on the vehicle placard or tire inflation
pressure label [tire and load information label], you should determine the
proper tire inflation pr essure for th ose tires.)
As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been equipped with a tire
pressure monitoring system (TPMS-ti re pressure warning system) that
illuminates a low tire pressure telltal e (tire pressure warning light) when
one or more of your tires is significantly under-inflated. Accordingly,
when the low tire pressu re telltale (tire pressure warning light) illumi-
nates, you should stop and check your tires as soon as possible, and
inflate them to the proper pressure. Driving on a significantly under-
inflated tire causes the tire to overheat and can lead to tire failure.
Under-inflation also reduces fuel effi ciency and tire tread life, and may
affect the vehicle’s ha ndling and stopping ability.
Please note that the TPMS (tire pressure warning system) is not a sub-
stitute for proper tire main tenance, and it is the driver’s responsibility to
maintain correct tire pressure, even if under-inflation has not reached the
level to trigger illu mination of the TPMS low tire pressure telltale (tire
pressure warning light).
