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.

■SRS warning light
This warning light system monitors the airbag sensor assembly, front impact
sensors, side impact sensors (front door), side impact sensors (front), 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, seat belt
pretensioners,
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.
■Electric power steering system warning light (warning buzzer)
When the battery charge becomes insufficient or the voltage temporarily
drops, the electric power steering system warning light may come on and the
warning buzzer may sound.
■When the tire pressure warning light comes on
Inspect the tires to check if a tire is punctured.
If none of the tires are punctured:
Turn the engine switch off then turn it to IGNITION ON mode. Check if the
tire pressure warning light comes on or blinks.
If the tire pressure warning light comes on
1. After the temperature of the tires has lowered sufficiently, check the
inflation pressure of each tire and adjust them to the specified level.
2. If the warning light does not turn off even after several minutes have
elapsed, check that the inflation pressure of each tire is at the specified
level and perform initialization.
If the warning light does not turn off several minutes after the
initialization
has been performed, have the vehicle inspected by your Toyota dealer
immediately.
If the tire pressure warning light blinks for 1 minute then stays on
There may be a malfunction in the tire pressure warning system. Have
the vehicle inspected by your Toyota dealer immediately.
■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 a few minutes).
■When a tire is replaced with a spare tire
The compact 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 spare tire.
Replace the spare tire with the repaired tire and adjust the tire inflation
pressure. The tire pressure warning light will go off after a few minutes.
■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.
■When the electric power steering system warning light comes on
When the light comes on yellow, the assist to the power steering is
restricted. When the light comes on red, the assist to the power
steering is
lost and handling operations of the steering wheel become extremely
heavy. When steering wheel operations are heavier than usual, grip
the
steering wheel firmly and operate it 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 a loss of vehicle control and result in death or serious
injury.
■If a blowout or sudden air leakage should occur
The tire pressure warning system may not activate immediately. |
| WARNING ■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.
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. |
