Installing tire pressure warning valves and transmitters (vehicles
with a tire pressure warning system)
When replacing tires or wheels, tire pressure warning valves and
transmitters must also be installed.
When new tire pressure warning valves and transmitters are installed,
new ID codes must be registered in the tire pressure warning computer
and the tire pressure warning system must be initialized. Have tire pres-
sure warning valve and transmitter ID codes registered by your Toyota
dealer. ( →P. 255)
■ The tire pressure warning system must be initialized in the fol-
lowing circumstances:
●For vehicles with P195/50R16 tires, when rotating front and rear
tires which have different tire inflation pressures
● When the tire inflation pres sure is changed such as when
changing traveling speed
When the tire pressure warning system is initialized, the current
tire inflation pressure is set as the benchmark pressure.
■ How to initialize the tire pressure warning system
Park the vehicle in a safe plac e and turn the engine switch to
the “LOCK” position.
Initialization cannot be performed while the vehicle is moving.
■ Tire pressure warning system (if equipped)
Your vehicle is equipped with a tire pressure warning system
that uses tire pressure warning valves and transmitters to detect
low tire inflation pressure before serious problems arise.
( → P. 307)
The compact spare tire is not equipped with a tire pressure warning
valve and transmitter.

unique ID code. When replacing a tire pressure warning valve and
transmitter, it is necessary to regi ster the ID code. Have the ID code
registered by your Toyota dealer.
■When to replace your vehicle’s tires
Tires should be replaced if:
●You have tire damage such as cuts, splits, cracks deep enough to
expose the fabric, and bulges indicating internal damage
●A tire goes flat repeatedly or c annot be properly repaired due to the
