When the tire pressure warning light comes on

Inspect the tires to check if a tire is punctured.
If a tire is punctured: 



P. 544

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 flashes.



If the tire pressure warning light comes on
After  the  temperature  of  the  tires  has  lowered  sufficiently,  check  the

inflation pressure of each tire and adjust them to the specified level.
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. (



P. 483)

If  the  warning  light  does  not  turn  off  even  after  several  minutes  have

elapsed, have the vehicle inspected by your Toyota dealer immediately.



If the tire pressure warning light flashes for 1 minute then stay 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 turn on due to natural causes

The tire pressure warning light may turn on due to natural causes such as

natural  air  leaks  or  tire  inflation  pressure  changes  caused  by  tempera-

ture. In this case, adjusting the tire inflation pressure will turn off the warn-

ing light (after a few minutes).

■

When a tire is replaced with a spare tire

The spare tire is also equipped with the tire pressure warning valve and

transmitter. The tire pressure warning light will turn on if the tire inflation

pressure of the spare tire is low. If a tire goes flat, even though the flat tire

is  replaced  with  the  spare  tire,  the  tire  pressure  warning  light  does  not

turn off. Replace the spare tire with the repaired tire and adjust the proper

tire inflation pressure. The tire pressure warning light will turn off after a

few minutes.

Warning buzzer

In some cases, the buzzer may not be heard due to being in a noisy location
or 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 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 probable 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.

■

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 dif-

ferent 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)  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 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 sub-

stitute 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 warn-

ing  system)  malfunction  indicator  to  indicate  when  the  system  is  not

operating properly. The TPMS (tire pressure warning system) malfunc-

tion 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 illumi-

nated. This sequence will continue upon  subsequent vehicle  start-ups

as long as the malfunction exists. When the malfunction indicator is illu-

minated, the system may not be able to detect or signal low tire pres-

sure as intended.
TPMS (tire pressure warning system) malfunctions may occur for a vari-

ety 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  pres-

sure  warning  system)  malfunction  telltale  after  replacing  one  or  more

tires or wheels on your vehicle to ensure that the replacement or alter-

nate tires and wheels allow the TPMS (tire pressure warning system) to

continue to function properly.

WARNING

■

Replacing a flat tire

●

Observe the following precautions.

Failure to do so may result in serious injury:
• Lower  the  spare  tire  completely  to  the  ground  before  removing  it

from under the vehicle.

• Do not try to remove the wheel ornament by hand. Take due care in

handling the ornament to avoid unexpected personal injury. 

• Do not touch the disc wheels or the area around the brakes immedi-

ately after the vehicle has been driven.

After  the  vehicle  has  been  driven  the  disc  wheels  and  the  area

around the brakes will be extremely hot. Touching these areas with

hands, feet or other body parts while changing a tire, etc. may result

in burns.

●

Failure  to  follow  these  precautions  could  cause  the  wheel  nuts  to

loosen and the tire to fall off, resulting in death or serious injury.
• Have  the  wheel  nuts  tightened  with  a  torque  wrench  to  97 ft•lbf

(131 N•m, 13.4 kgf•m) as soon as possible after changing wheels.

• Do not attach a heavily damaged wheel ornament, as it may fly off

the wheel while the vehicle is moving.

• When installing a tire, only use wheel nuts that have been specifi-

cally designed for that wheel.

• If  there  are  any  cracks  or  deformations  in  the  bolt  screws,  nut

threads  or  bolt  holes  of  the  wheel,  have  the  vehicle  inspected  by

your Toyota dealer.

• When  installing  the  wheel  nuts,  be  sure  to  install  them  with  the

tapered ends facing inward.

WARNING

■

When attempting to free a stuck vehicle

If you choose to push the vehicle back and forth to free it, make sure the
surrounding area is clear, to avoid striking other vehicles, objects or people.
The vehicle may also lunge forward or lunge back suddenly as it becomes
free. Use extreme caution.

■

When shifting the shift lever

Be careful not to shift the shift lever with the accelerator pedal depressed.
This  may  lead  to  unexpected  rapid  acceleration  of  the  vehicle  that  may
cause an accident and result in death or serious injury.

NOTICE

■

To avoid damaging the transmission and other components

●

Avoid spinning the rear wheels and depressing the accelerator pedal more
than necessary.

●

If  the  vehicle  remains  stuck even  after  these procedures  are  performed,
the vehicle may require towing to be freed.

●

When a warning message for the automatic transmission fluid temperature
is displayed while attempting to free a stuck vehicle, immediately remove
your foot from the accelerator pedal and wait until the warning message

Engine oil selection

“Toyota Genuine Motor Oil” is used in your Toyota vehicle. Use Toy-
ota  approved  “Toyota  Genuine  Motor  Oil”  or  equivalent  to  satisfy
the following grade and viscosity.
Oil grade: ILSAC GF-5 multigrade engine oil
Recommended viscosity: SAE 0W-20
SAE  0W-20  is  the  best  choice
for  good  fuel  economy  and
good starting in cold weather. 
If  SAE  0W-20  is  not  available,
SAE  5W-20  oil  may  be  used.
However,  it  must  be  replaced
with SAE 0W-20 at the next oil
change.

Oil viscosity (0W-20 is explained here as an example):

• The  0W  in  0W-20  indicates  the  characteristic  of  the  oil  which

allows cold startability. Oils with a lower value before the W allow
for easier starting of the engine in cold weather.

• The 20 in 0W-20 indicates the viscosity characteristic of the oil

when the oil is at high temperature. An oil with a higher viscosity
(one  with  a  higher  value)  may  be  better  suited  if  the  vehicle  is
operated at high speeds, or under extreme load conditions.

How to read oil container label:
The  International  Lubricant  Specification  Advisory  Committee
(ILSAC) Certification Mark is added to some oil containers to help
you select the oil you should use.

Fuel information

■

Gasoline quality

In very few cases, driveability problems may be caused by the brand of gaso-
line you are using. If driveability problems persist, try changing the brand of
gasoline. If this does not correct the problem, consult your Toyota dealer.

■

Recommendation of the use of gasoline containing detergent additives

●

Toyota recommends the use of gasoline that contains detergent additives to
avoid the build-up of engine deposits.

●

All  gasoline  sold  in  the  U.S.A.  contains  minimum  detergent  additives  to
clean and/or keep clean intake systems, per EPA’s lowest additives concen-
tration program.

●

Toyota  strongly  recommends  the  use  of Top Tier  Detergent  Gasoline.  For
more  information  on Top Tier  Detergent  Gasoline  and  a  list  of  marketers,
please go to the official website www.toptiergas.com.

■

Recommendation of the use of low emissions gasoline

Gasolines  containing  oxygenates  such  as  ethers  and  ethanol,  as  well  as
reformulated gasolines, are available in some cities. These fuels are typically
acceptable for use, providing they meet other fuel requirements.
Toyota  recommends  these  fuels,  since  the  formulations  allow  for  reduced
vehicle emissions.

You must only use unleaded gasoline.
Select octane rating 87 (Research Octane Number 91) or higher.
Use  of  unleaded  gasoline  with  an  octane  rating  lower  than  87
may result in engine knocking. Persistent knocking can lead to
engine damage.

At minimum, the gasoline you use should meet the specifications of
ASTM D4814 in the U.S.A..

Non-recommendation of the use of blended gasoline

●

If you use gasohol in your vehicle, be sure that it has an octane rating no
lower than 87.

●

Toyota does not recommend the use of gasoline containing methanol.

■

Non-recommendation of the use of gasoline containing MMT

Some gasoline contains an octane enhancing additive called MMT (Methylcy
clopentadienyl Manganese Tricarbonyl).
Toyota  does  not  recommend  the  use  of  gasoline  that  contains  MMT.  If  fuel
containing  MMT  is  used,  your  emission  control  system  may  be  adversely
affected.
The malfunction indicator lamp on the instrument cluster may come on. If this
happens, contact your Toyota dealer for service.

■

If your engine knocks

●

Consult your Toyota dealer.

●

You may occasionally notice light knocking for a short time while accelerat-
ing or driving uphill. This is normal and there is no need for concern.

●

Use only gasoline containing up to 15%
ethanol. 
DO  NOT  use  any  flex-fuel  or  gasoline
that could contain more than 15% etha-
nol,  including  from  any  pump  labeled
E30,  E50,  E85  (which  are  only  some

NOTICE

■

Notice on fuel quality

●

Do not use improper fuels. If improper fuels are used the engine will be
damaged.

●

Do not use leaded gasoline.
Leaded gasoline can cause damage to your vehicle’s three-way catalytic
converters causing the emission control system to malfunction.

●

Do not use gasohol other than the type previously stated.
Other  gasohol  may  cause  fuel  system  damage  or  vehicle  performance
problems.

●

Using unleaded gasoline with an octane number or rating lower than the
level previously stated will cause persistent heavy knocking.
At worst, this will lead to engine damage.

■

Fuel-related poor driveability

If poor driveability (poor hot starting, vaporization, engine knocking, etc.) is
encountered after using a different type of fuel, discontinue the use of that
type of fuel.

■

When refueling with gasohol

Take care not to spill gasohol. It can damage your vehicle’s paint.

Your Toyota  dealer  will  help  answer  any  questions  you  may  have  as

you read this information.

■

DOT quality grades

All passenger vehicle tires must conform to Federal Safety Require-
ments  in  addition  to  these  grades.  Quality  grades  can  be  found
where applicable on the tire sidewall between tread shoulder and
maximum section width.

For example: Treadwear 200 Traction AA Temperature A

■

Treadwear

The  treadwear  grade  is  a  comparative  rating  based  on  the  wear
rate of the tire when tested under controlled conditions on a speci-
fied government test course.

For example, a tire graded 150 would wear one and a half (1 - 1/2)

times as well on the government course as a tire graded 100.

The  relative  performance  of  tires  depends  upon  the  actual  condi-

tions of their use. Performance may differ significantly from the norm

due to variations in driving habits, service practices and differences

in road characteristics and climate.

■

Traction AA, A, B, C

The  traction  grades,  from  highest  to  lowest,  are AA, A,  B  and  C,
and  they  represent  the  tire’s  ability  to  stop  on  wet  pavement  as
measured under controlled conditions on specified government test
surfaces of asphalt and concrete.

A tire marked C may have poor traction performance.
Warning: The traction grade assigned to this tire is based on braking

(straight ahead) traction tests and does not include cornering (turn-

ing) traction.

■

Temperature A, B, C

The temperature grades are A (the highest), B, and C, representing
the tire’s resistance to the generation of heat and its ability to dissi-
pate  heat  when  tested  under  controlled  conditions  on  a  specified
indoor laboratory test wheel.

Sustained  high  temperature  can  cause  the  material  of  the  tire  to

degenerate and reduce tire life, and excessive temperature can lead

to sudden tire failure.
Grade C corresponds to a level of performance which all passenger

car  tires  must  meet  under  the  Federal  Motor  Vehicle  Safety  Stan-

dard No. 109.
Grades B and A represent higher levels of performance on the labo-

ratory test wheel than the minimum required by law.
Warning: The temperature grades of a tire assume that it is properly

inflated and not overloaded.

Excessive speed, underinflation, or excessive loading, either sepa-

rately  or  in  combination,  can  cause  heat  buildup  and  possible  tire

failure.
