CAUTION
If the tire pressure warning light comes on
■
Be sure to observe the following precautions. Failure to do so could
cause loss of vehicle control and result in death or serious injury.
Vehicles with run-flat tires:
●
• Decelerate to the lowest appropriate speed as soon as possible.
Do not drive over 55 mph (90 km/h).
• Check and adjust the tire inflation 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. Have
the tire replaced by the nearest Toyota dealer.
• Avoid abrupt maneuvering and braking. If the vehicle tires deterio-
rate, you could lose control of the steering wheel or the brakes.
Vehicles with standard tires:
●
• Stop your vehicle in a safe place as soon as possible. Adjust the
tire inflation 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 the tire is flat, change to the spare tire and have the flat
tire repaired by the nearest Toyota dealer.
• Avoid abrupt maneuvering and braking. If the vehicle tires deterio-
rate, you could lose control of the steering wheel or the brakes.
If a blowout or sudden air leakage should occur

The tire pressure warning system may not activate immediately.
