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.
• 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 manoeuvring 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.)

WARNING

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 underinflated. 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.

• The sealant will be injected and the pressure will spike to between 44 psi (300 kPa, 3.0 kgf/cm2 or bar) and 58 psi (400 kPa, 4.0 kgf/cm2 or bar), then gradually decrease.
• The air pressure gauge will display the actual tire inflation pressure about 1 to 5 minutes after the switch is turned on.
• Turn the compressor switch off and then check the tire inflation pressure. Being careful not to over inflate, check and repeat the inflation procedure until the specified tire inflation pressure is reached.
• The tire can be inflated for about 5 to 20 minutes (depending on the outside temperature). If the tire inflation pressure is still lower than the specified point after inflation for 25 minutes, the tire is too damaged to be repaired. Turn the compressor switch off and contact your Toyota dealer.
• If the tire inflation pressure exceeds the specified air pressure, let out some air to adjust the tire inflation pressure.
• With the compressor switch off, pull out the power plug from the power outlet socket and then disconnect the hose from the valve on the tire. Some sealant may leak when the hose is removed.
• Install the valve cap onto the valve of the emergency repaired tire.
• Attach the air release cap to the end of the hose. If the air release cap is not attached, the sealant may leak and the vehicle may get dirty.
• Temporarily store the bottle in the luggage compartment while it is connected to the compressor.
• To spread the liquid sealant evenly within the tire, immediately drive safely for about 3 miles (5 km) below 50 mph (80 km/h).
• After driving, stop your vehicle in a safe place on a hard, flat surface and reconnect the repair kit
• Turn the compressor switch on and wait for several seconds, then turn it off. Check the tire inflation pressure.
• If the tire inflation pressure is under 19 psi (130 kPa, 1.3 kgf/cm2 or bar):
• The puncture cannot be repaired. Contact your Toyota dealer.
• If the tire inflation pressure is 19 psi (130 kPa, 1.3 kgf/cm2 or bar) or higher, but less than the specified air pressure: Proceed to step 22.
• If the tire inflation pressure is the specified air pressure: Proceed to step23.
• Turn the compressor switch on to inflate the tire until the specified air pressure is reached. Drive for about 3 miles (5 km) and then perform step 20. 23Attach the air release cap to the end of the hose.
• Store the bottle in the luggage compartment while it is connected to the compressor.
• Taking precautions to avoid sudden braking, sudden acceleration and sharp turns, drive carefully at under 50 mph (80 km/h) to the nearest Toyota dealer that is less than 62 miles (100 km) away for tire repair or replacement

If the tire is inflated to more than the specified air pressure

•  Disconnect the hose from the valve.
