NOTICE
!
Do not use liquid sealants for a flat
tire as air pressure sensors will be
damaged.

placed by the nearest Toyota dealer
or authorized tire dealer. The tire
pressure sensors will be affected by
the installation or removal of tires.
!
The tire pressure warning system is
not to be used as a substitute for
regular inspections. Be sure to
check the air pressure in the tires
on a regular basis.

When the tires must be replaced,
replace the grommets for air pres-
sure sensors as well.
If the warning light blinks:
The tire pressure warning system may
be malfunctioning. Contact your Toyota
dealer.
SYSTEM MALFUNCTION
The tire pressure warning system does
not function properly under certain cir-

sure is low, or it may come on when
the tire inflation pressure is actually
normal.

lar radio wave frequencies are nearby.

hicle, in particular, around the wheels
or wheel housings.

Non − genuine Toyota wheels are used.
!
The sensor battery is expired.
!
Radio waves from the air pressure sen-
sor installed on the spare tire cannot
be received.
CAUTION
!
The use of non − genuine wheels will
cause the air pressure sensors to
transmit the electronic code in dif-
ferent manner, resulting in the sys-
tem failure.
!
The use of different type of tires
with genuine wheels may also
cause the malfunction of the sys-
tem.
