When tire inflation pressure declines
rapidly for example when a tire has
burst, the warning may not function.
■
Warning performance of the tire
pressure warning system
The warning of the tire pressure warning
system will change in accordance with
the conditions under which it was initial-
ized. For this reason, the system may
give a warning even if the tire pressure
does not reach a low enough level, or if
the pressure is higher than the pressure
that was adjusted to when the system
was initialized.
Installing tire pressure warn-
ing valves and transmitters
When replacing tires or wheels, tire
pressure warning valves and trans-
mitters must also be installed.
When new tire pressure warning
valves and transmitters are
installed, new ID codes must be
registered in the tire pressure warn-
ing computer and the tire pressure
warning system must be initialized.
(P.495)
■
When replacing the tires and
wheels
If the ID code of the tire pressure warn-
ing valve and transmitter is not regis-
tered, the tire pressure warning system
will not work properly. After driving for
about 10 minutes, the tire pressure
warning light blinks for 1 minute and
stays on to indicate a system malfunc-
tion.

■
Repairing or replacing tires,
wheels, tire pressure warning
valves, transmitters and tire
valve caps
●
When removing or fitting the
wheels, tires or the tire pressure
warning valves and transmitters,
contact any authorized Toyota
retailer or Toyota authorized
repairer, or any reliable repairer as
the tire pressure warning valves
and transmitters may be damaged
if not handled correctly.
●
Make sure to install the tire valve
caps. If the tire valve caps are not
installed, water could enter the tire
pressure warning valves and the
tire pressure warning valves could
be bound.
●
When replacing tire valve caps, do
not use tire valve caps other than
those specified.
The cap may become stuck.
■
To avoid damage to the tire pres-
sure warning valves and trans-
mitters (vehicles without spare
tire)
When a tire is repaired with liquid
sealants, the tire pressure warning
valve and transmitter may not operate
properly. If a liquid sealant is used,
contact any authorized Toyota retailer
or Toyota authorized repairer, or any
reliable repairer or other qualified ser-
vice shop as soon as possible. After
use of liquid sealant, make sure to
replace the tire pressure warning
valve and transmitter when repairing
or replacing the tire. (P.491)
