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

The steering wheel may 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.
Vehicles with standard tires:

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  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.

Vehicles with run-flat tires:

Decelerate  to  the  lowest  appropriate  speed  as  soon  as  possible.  Do

not drive over 50 mph (80 km/h).

Check and 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. Have the tire

replaced 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.

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:
• 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.

• Remove the spare tire before jacking up the vehicle. If the spare tire

is removed after jacking up the vehicle, the tire carrier and the spare
tire may interfere with the jack and cause a serious accident.

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  76 ft•lbf

(103 N•m, 10.5 kgf•m) as soon as possible after changing wheels.

• 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 end facing inward. (

P. 433)

For vehicles with power sliding door and/or power back door: In cases
such as when replacing tires, make sure to turn off the power sliding
door main switch (

P. 124) and/or the power back door main switch

(

P. 136). Failure to do so may cause the sliding door and/or the back

Starting the engine when the battery is discharged

The engine cannot be started by push-starting.

To prevent battery discharge

Turn off the headlights and the audio/visual system while the engine is off.

Turn off any unnecessary electrical components when the vehicle is running
at a low speed for an extended period, such as in heavy traffic.

When the battery is removed or discharged

The power sliding door (if equipped) must be initialized. (

P. 128)

The power back door (if equipped) must be initialized. (

P. 138)

Charging the battery

The  electricity  stored  in  the  battery  will  discharge  gradually  even  when  the
vehicle is not in use, due to natural discharge and the draining effects of cer-
tain electrical appliances. If the vehicle is left for a long time, the battery may
discharge,  and  the  engine  may  be  unable  to  start.  (The  battery  recharges
automatically during driving.)

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  Commit-
tee  (ILSAC)  Certification  Mark
is added to some oil containers
to  help  you  select  the  oil  you
should use.
