LOW TIRE PRESSURE WARNING LIGHT
This light comes on when the ignition key
is turned to the "ON" position. It goes off
after a few seconds. This indicates that
the tire pressure warning system is func-
tioning properly.
If the low tire pressure warning light
comes on or blinks, do the following.
If the warning light comes on:
Stop your vehicle in a safe place as
soon as possible and check that the
inflation pressure of all tires (including
the spare tire) is as specified on the
tire and loading information label. (See
"Checking tire inflation pressure" on
page 366 in Section 7- 2.) If the warning
light comes on even after tire inflation
pressure adjustment, you may have a
flat tire. If you have a flat tire, replace
it with the spare tire. For details, see
"If you have a flat tire" on page 321 in
Section 4.
The warning light goes off a few minutes
after air is put into the deflated tire.
This warning light may turn on due to
natural causes such as natural air leaks
or tire pressure changes caused by tem-
perature. In this case, adjusting the tire
pressure will turn off the warning light.

CAUTION
When the tire pressure warning light
comes on, observe the following in-
structions:
"
Depending on the conditions, re-
duce to an appropriate speed as
soon as possible.
"
Adjust the tire pressure to the spe-
cified level as soon as possible.
"
Avoid abrupt steering wheel maneu-
vering and braking. Tire deteriora-
tion may reduce steering wheel con-
trol and brake effectiveness. This
may lead to serious injury or death.
"
The tire pressure warning system
may not activate immediately if sud-
den bursts of air leakage occur.
