If the tire pressure warning light comes on (vehicles with the tire pres-

sure warning system)

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 infla-

tion 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 any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified

and equipped professional.

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 leakage should occur (vehicles with the tire

pressure warning system)

The tire pressure warning system may not activate immediately.

To ensure the tire pressure warning system operates properly (vehi-

cles with the tire pressure warning system)

Do not install tires with different specifications or makers, as the tire pres-

sure warning system may not operate properly.
