NOTICE
z The use of non- genuine wheels will
cause the air pressure sensors to
transmit the electronic code in dif-
ferent manner, resulting in the sys-
tem failure.
z The use of different type of tires
with genuine wheels may
cause the malfunction of the sys-
tem.

CAUTION
Each tire, including the spare (if pro-
vided), should be checked monthly
when cold and inflated to the inflation
pressure recommended by the vehicle
manufacturer on the vehicle placard
or tire inflation pressure label (tire
and load information label). (If your
vehicle has tires of a different size
than the size indicated on the vehicle
placard or tire inflation pressure label
(tire and load information label), you
should determine the proper tire infla-
tion pressure for those tires.)
2006 TACOMA from Jan.'06 Prod. (OM35865U)
As an added safety feature, your ve-
hicle has been equipped with a tire
pressure monitoring system
(TPMS—tire pressure warning system)
that illuminates a low tire pressure
telltale (low tire pressure warning
light) when one or more of your tires
is significantly under- inflated.
cordingly, when the low tire pressure
telltale (low tire pressure warning
light) illuminates, you should stop
and check your tires as soon as pos-
sible, and inflate them to the proper
pressure. Driving on a significantly
under- inflated tire causes the tire to
overheat and can lead to tire failure.
Under- inflation also reduces fuel effi-
ciency and tire tread life, and may
affect the vehicle's handling and stop-
ping ability.
Please note that the TPMS (tire pres-
sure warning system) is not a substi-
tute for proper tire maintenance, and
it is the driver's responsibility to
maintain correct tire pressure, even if
under- inflation has not reached the
level to trigger illumination of the
TPMS low tire pressure telltale (low
tire pressure warning light).
