Calmly perform the following actions if any of the warning lights
comes on or flashes. If a light comes on or flashes, but then
goes off, this does not necessarily indicate a malfunction in the
system. However, if this continues to occur, have the vehicle
inspected by your Toyota dealer.

Then, if the seat belt is still unfastened, the buzzer will sound in a different
tone for 20 more seconds.
*2: Parking brake engaged warning buzzer:
A buzzer will sound if the vehicle is driven at a speed of approximately
3 mph (5 km/h) or more.
■SRS warning light
This warning light system monitors the airbag sensor assembly, front impact
sensors, side impact sensors (front door), side impact sensors (rear), driver's
seat position sensor, driver's seat belt buckle switch, front passenger occupant
classification system (ECU and sensors), "AIR BAG ON" indicator light,
"AIR BAG OFF" indicator light, front passenger's seat belt buckle switch, seat
belt pretensioners assemblies, airbags, interconnecting wiring and power
sources.
■Front passenger detection sensor, seat belt reminder and warning
buzzer
- If luggage is placed on the front passenger seat, the front
passenger detection
sensor may cause the warning light to flash and the warning buzzer to
sound even if a passenger is not sitting in the seat.
- If a cushion is placed on the seat, the sensor may not detect a
passenger,
and the warning light may not operate properly.
■If the malfunction indicator lamp comes on while driving
First check the following:
- Is the fuel tank empty?
If it is, fill the fuel tank immediately.
- Is the fuel tank cap loose?
If it is, tighten it securely.
The light will go off after several driving trips.
If the light does not go off even after several trips, contact your Toyota
dealer
as soon as possible.
■When the tire pressure warning light comes on
Check the tire inflation pressure and adjust to the appropriate level.
Pushing
the tire pressure warning reset switch will not turn off the tire pressure
warning light.
■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 and tire inflation pressure changes caused by temperature.
In this case, adjusting the tire inflation pressure will turn off the
warning light (after several minutes).
■When a tire is replaced with a spare tire
The temporary spare tire is not equipped with a 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 has been replaced with the temporary
spare tire. Replace the temporary spare tire with the repaired tire and
adjust the tire inflation pressure. The tire pressure warning light will go off
after several minutes.
■If the tire pressure warning light frequently comes on after blinking
for 1 minute
If the tire pressure warning light frequently comes on after blinking for 1
minute when the engine switch is turned to "ON" position, have it checked
by your Toyota dealer.
■Warning buzzer
In some cases, the buzzer may not be heard because of noisy place or an
audio sound.
| WARNING ■If both the ABS and the brake system
warning lights remain on
Stop your vehicle in a safe place immediately and contact your
Toyota
dealer. The vehicle will become extremely unstable during braking,
and the
ABS system may fail, which could cause an accident resulting in
death or
serious injury.
■If the tire pressure warning light comes on
Be sure to observe the following precautions. Failure to do so could
cause a
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 pressure
adjustment, it is probable that you have a flat tire. Check the
tires. If a tire
is flat, change it with 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.
■If a blowout or sudden air leakage should occur
The tire pressure warning system 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 different
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 pressure for those tires.)
As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been equipped with a
tire
pressure monitoring system (TPMS-tire pressure warning system) that
illuminates a low tire pressure telltale (tire pressure warning
light) when
one or more of your tires is significantly under-inflated.
Accordingly,
when the low tire pressure telltale (tire pressure warning light)
illuminates,
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 efficiency and tire tread life,
and may
affect the vehicle's handling and stopping ability. |
| WARNING Please note that the TPMS (tire pressure
warning system) is not a substitute
for proper tire maintenance, and it is the driver's responsibility
to
maintain correct tire pressure, even if under-inflation has not
reached
the level to trigger illumination of the TPMS low tire pressure
telltale (tire
pressure warning light).
Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS (tire pressure
warning
system) malfunction indicator to indicate when the system is not
operating properly. The TPMS (tire pressure warning system)
malfunction
indicator is combined with the low tire pressure telltale (tire
pressure
warning light). When the system detects a malfunction, the telltale
will
flash for approximately one minute and then remain continuously
illuminated.
This sequence will continue upon subsequent vehicle start-ups
as long as the malfunction exists. When the malfunction indicator is
illuminated,
the system may not be able to detect or signal low tire pressure
as intended.
TPMS (tire pressure warning system) malfunctions may occur for a
variety
of reasons, including the installation of replacement or alternate
tires
or wheels on the vehicle that prevent the TPMS (tire pressure
warning
system) from functioning properly. Always check the TPMS (tire
pressure
warning system) malfunction telltale after replacing one or more
tires or wheels on your vehicle to ensure that the replacement or
alternate
tires and wheels allow the TPMS (tire pressure warning system) to
continue to function properly. |
| NOTICE ■To ensure the tire pressure warning system
operates properly
Do not install tires with different specifications or makers, as the
tire
pressure warning system may not operate properly. |
