Toyota RAV4 2000 Owner's Manual page 32

Installed tires should be of the specified
size. They should be of the same size
and construction. If tires other than of the
specified size are used, or if tires of dif-
ferent sizes or constructions are mixed,
the tire pressure warning system will not
function properly.
LOW TIRE PRESSURE WARNING LIGHT
This light comes on when the motor
switch is turned to the "ON" position. It
goes off after about 3 seconds. This indi-
cates that the tire pressure warning sys-
tem is functioning properly.
If the low tire pressure warning light
comes on while driving, adjust tire
pressure to the specified level. (See
"Tires" in Section 9.)
After the tire pressure is adjusted, the
light should go off after driving at about
more than 30 km/h (19 mph) for some
time. If the light still remains on, have
the tire pressure warning system checked
at your EV service station.

sure is low, or it may come on when
the tire pressure is actually normal.
D
If the tread wear is uneven among the
installed tires.
D
If a compact spare tire, snow tires, or
tire chains are used.

If the tire pressure is excessively high-
er than specified, or if tire pressure is
suddenly reduced due to bursts or oth-
er causes.
D
If the vehicle is driven on a slippery
road surface such as rough road and
frozen road.

If the vehicle speed is less than 30
km/h (19 mph) and if the driving dura-
tion is less than about 5 minutes.

work properly. Contact EV service sta-
tion.
SET SWITCH
This switch is provided to inspect the tire
pressure warning system by EV service
station. So you do not need to operate
it in ordinary driving. Even if you push
the switch, it does not affect anything.
