Electric power steering system
warning light (warning buzzer)

When the battery charge becomes

insufficient or the voltage temporarily
drops, the electric power steering sys-

tem 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 a tire is punctured:



P.415, 426

If none of the tires are punctured:

Turn the engine switch off then turn it to
ON. Check if the tire pressure warning

light comes on or blinks.



If the tire pressure warning light blinks
for approximately 1 minute then stays

on

There may be a malfunction in the tire
pressure warning system. Have the

vehicle inspected by any authorized

Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized
repairer, or any reliable repairer immedi-

ately.



If the tire pressure warning light
comes on

1

After the temperature of the tires has

lowered sufficiently, check the infla-

tion 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 speci-

fied level and perform initialization.

(



P.367)

■

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 pres-

sure 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

Vehicles with a compact spare tire: The

compact spare tire is not equipped with
a tire pressure warning valve and trans-

mitter. 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 min-

utes.
Vehicles with a full-size spare tire: The

spare tire is also equipped with a 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, 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

■

If both the ABS and the brake

system warning lights remain on

Stop your vehicle in a safe place

immediately and contact any autho-

rized Toyota retailer or Toyota autho-
rized repairer, or any reliable repairer.

The vehicle will become extremely

unstable during braking, and the ABS
system may fail, which could cause

an accident resulting in death or seri-

ous injury.

WARNING

■

When the electric power steer-

ing 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 pre-

cautions.

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.

●

Vehicles with a compact spare tire

and full-size spare tire: 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 any authorized

Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized

repairer, or any reliable repairer.

●

Vehicles with emergency tire punc-

ture repair kit: 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, repair

the flat tire by using emergency tire

puncture repair kit.

●

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 leak-

age should occur

The tire pressure warning system
may not activate immediately.

NOTICE

■

To ensure the tire pressure warn-

ing system operates properly

Do not install tires with different speci-

fications or makers, as the tire pres-

sure warning system may not operate
properly.

If you have a flat tire

(vehicles with an emer-

gency tire puncture

repair kit)

Your vehicle is not equipped
with a spare tire, but instead is
equipped with an emergency
tire puncture repair kit.

A puncture caused by a nail or
screw passing through the tire
tread can be repaired tempo-
rarily using the emergency tire
puncture repair kit. (The kit
contains a bottle of sealant.
The sealant can be used only
once to temporarily repair one
tire without removing the nail
or screw from the tire.)
Depending on the damage, this
kit cannot be used to repair the
tire. (



P.416)

After temporarily repairing the
tire with the kit, have the tire
repaired or replaced by any
authorized Toyota retailer or
Toyota authorized repairer, or
any reliable repairer. Repairs
conducted using the emer-
gency tire puncture repair kit
are only a temporary measure.
Have the tire repaired and
replaced as soon as possible.

7-2. Steps to take in an emergency



Stop the vehicle in a safe place
on a hard, flat surface.



Set the parking brake.



Shift the shift lever to P (Multid-
rive) or N (manual transmission).



Stop the engine.



Turn on the emergency flashers.
(



P.394)



For vehicles with power back
door: Turn off the power back
door system. (



P.135)



Check the degree of the tire
damage.

Do not remove the nail or screw
from the tire. Removing the object
may widen the opening and make
emergency repair with the repair kit
impossible.
• A tire should only be repaired

with the emergency tire puncture
repair kit if the damage is caused
by a nail or screw passing
through the tire tread.

• To avoid sealant leakage, move

the vehicle until the area of the
puncture, if known, is positioned
at the top of the tire.

■

A flat tire that cannot be repaired

with the emergency tire puncture
repair kit

In the following cases, the tire cannot be

repaired with the emergency tire punc-
ture repair kit. Contact any authorized

Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized

repairer, or any reliable repairer.

●

When the tire is damaged due to driv-

ing without sufficient air pressure

●

When there are any cracks or damage

at any location on the tire, such as on
the side wall, except the tread

●

When the tire is visibly separated from
the wheel

●

When the cut or damage to the tread
is 4 mm (0.16 in.) long or more

●

When the wheel is damaged

●

When two or more tires have been

punctured

●

When more than 2 sharp objects such

as nails or screws have passed
through the tread on a single tire

●

When the sealant has expired

WARNING

■

If you have a flat tire

Do not continue driving with a flat tire.
Driving even a short distance with a

flat tire can damage the tire and the

wheel beyond repair, which could
result in an accident.
