|
Front passenger detection sen-sor, seat belt reminder and warning buzzer
- If luggage is placed on the front passenger seat, the front passen-ger 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 pas-senger, 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 temporar-ily 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
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 tem-perature. In this case, adjusting the tire inflation pressure will turn off the warning light (after a few minutes).
Conditions that the tire pres-sure warning system may not function properly
If the tire pressure warning light frequently comes on after blink-ing for 1 minute
If the tire pressure warning light fre-quently comes on after blinking for 1 minute when the engine switch is turned to ON, have it checked by your Toyota dealer.
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 Toy-ota dealer. The vehicle will become extremely unstable during braking, and the ABS sys-tem 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 con-trol and result in death or serious injury.
- Stop your vehicle in a safe place as soon as possible. Adjust the tire inflation pressure immedi-ately.
- If the tire pressure warning light comes on even after tire infla-tion pressure adjustment, it is probable that you have a flat tire. Check the tires. If a tire is flat, repair the flat tire by using emergency tire puncture repair kit.
- Avoid abrupt maneuvering and braking. If the vehicle tires dete-riorate, 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 recom-mended by the vehicle manufac-turer 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 infor-mation label], you should deter-mine the proper tire inflation pressure for those tires.)
WARNING
As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been equipped with a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS-tire pressure warning sys-tem) 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 signifi-cantly 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 vehi-cle’s handling and stopping ability. Please note that the TPMS (tire pressure warning system) is not a substitute for proper tire mainte-nance, and it is the driver’s responsibility to maintain correct tire pressure, even if under-infla-tion has not reached the level to trigger illumination of the TPMS low tire pressure telltale (tire pres-sure warning light).
Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS (tire pres-sure warning system) malfunc-tion indicator to indicate when the system is not operating properly. The TPMS (tire pressure warning system) malfunction indicator is combined with the low tire pres-sure 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 con-tinue upon subsequent vehicle start-ups as long as the malfunc-tion exists. When the malfunction indicator is illuminated, the sys-tem may not be able to detect or signal low tire pressure as intended.
TPMS (tire pressure warning sys-tem) 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 tell-tale 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.
