Your Toyota has been equipped with a technically-advanced Tire Pressure
Monitoring System. This is primarily for safety reasons. While this tool keeps
you informed about your pressure, it is no substitute for regular tire
maintenance.
Toyota recommends regular, first-hand visual inspection of your tires, as well
as bi-weekly tire pressure checks.

The System utilizes a sensor that accurately measures both tire pressure and
tire air temperature. This sensor is fitted to the inner side of each wheel and
transmits data via electric waves to the receiver. The receiver instantly
compares the data received against the designated values and if an
inconsistency is detected, the warning light symbol illuminates on your
dashboard.

If this symbol lights up, it is alerting you that one or more of your tires may be
underinflated.
If this warning light keeps blinking on and off (for 60 to 90 seconds), it is
indicating a malfunction in the system. After blinking for this time, the warning
light may remain on. If the light remains on, contact your Toyota Dealer
immediately for a system inspection.

The warning light may indicate a system malfunction requiring a Toyota
Dealer’s attention. If it flashes before staying on continuously, the tire pressure
could be within the appropriate range, but you should contact your Toyota
Dealer for a system inspection.
Driving with incorrect tire inflation pressure may result in the following:
• Reduced safety
• Damage to the drivetrain
• Reduced fuel efficiency
• Reduced driving comfort and tire life
If a tire needs frequent filling, have it checked by your Toyota Dealer.

step 1
Check your tire pressure at least every two weeks - and before going
on long trips. Since the temperature outside affects tire pressure, you
should check your tires when your vehicle has not been driven more
than 1.5 km - or has been parked for at least 3 hours.
step 2
If tire pressure is low, fill your tires to the air pressure recommended
on the tire label.
If you have questions about these 2 steps or other tire maintenance inquiries, check your
Owner’s Manual or consult your Toyota Dealer.
