every 5000 km (3000 miles).
Do not fail to initialize the tire pressure
warning system after tire rotation.
Front
■When rotating the tires
Make sure that the power switch is OFF.
If the tires are rotated while the power
switch is in ON, the tire position informa-
tion will not be updated.
If this accidentally occurs, either turn the
power switch to OFF and then to ON, or
initialize the system after checking that
the tire pressure is properly adjusted.
Your vehicle is equipped with a tire
pressure warning system that uses
tire pressure warning valves and
transmitters to detect low tire infla-
tion pressure before serious prob-
lems arise.
The tire pressure warning system
of this vehicle adopts a 2-type
warning system
When “Adjust Pressure” is dis-
played (Normal Warning)
The tire pressure warning light comes
on and a buzzer sounds when the tire inflation pressure becomes low due to
natural air leakage or outside tempera-
ture. (Ways of coping: P.575, 624)
When “Immediately Check tire
when Safe” is displayed (Emer-
gency Warning)
The tire pressure warning light comes
on and a buzzer sounds when the tire
inflation pressure becomes low sud-
denly due to a blowout. (Ways of cop-
ing: P.575, 582, 593)
However, the system may not be able
to detect sudden tire ruptures (bursting,
etc.).
The tire pressure detected by the
tire pressure warning system can
be displayed on the multi-informa-
tion display.
The unit can be changed.
■How to change the unit
1Park the vehicle in a safe place
and turn the power switch off.
Changing the unit cannot be performed
while the vehicle is moving.
2Turn the power switch to ON.

■When replacing the tires and
wheels
If the ID code of the tire pressure warn- ing valve and transmitter is not regis-
tered, the tire pressure warning system will not work properly. After driving for about 10 minutes, the tire pressure
warning light blinks for 1 minute and stays on to indicate a system malfunc-tion.
■The tire pressure warning sys-
tem must be initialized in the
following circumstances:
When rotating the tires.
When changing the tire.
After registering the ID codes.
( P.525)
When changing between two
registered wheel sets.
When the tire pressure warning
system is initialized, the current tire
inflation pressure is set as the
benchmark pressure.
■How to initialize the tire pres-
sure warning system
1 Park the vehicle in a safe place
and stop the hybrid system for
20 minutes or more.
Initialization cannot be performed while the vehicle is moving.
NOTICE
■Repairing or replacing tires, wheels, tire pressure warning valves, transmitters and tire
valve caps
●When removing or fitting the wheels, tires or the tire pressure
warning valves and transmitters, contact any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized
repairer, or any reliable repairer as the tire pressure warning valves and transmitters may be damaged
if not handled correctly.
●Make sure to install the tire valve
caps. If the tire valve caps are not installed, water could enter the tire pressure warning valves and the
tire pressure warning valves could be bound.
●When replacing tire valve caps, do not use tire valve caps other than those specified.
The cap may become stuck.
■To avoid damage to the tire pres- sure warning valves and trans-mitters (vehicles without spare
tire)
When a tire is repaired with liquid sealants, the tire pressure warning
valve and transmitter may not operate properly. If a liquid sealant is used, contact any authorized Toyota retailer
or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer or other qualified ser-vice shop as soon as possible. Make
sure to replace the tire pressure warn- ing valve and transmitter when repair-ing or replacing the tire. ( P.511,
