Some Scion models are equipped with a technically-advanced Tire Pressure
Monitoring System. This is primarily for safety reasons. While this tool
keeps you informed about your pressure, it is no substitute for regular tire
maintenance.
Scion recommends regular, first-hand visual inspection of your tires, as
well as bi-weekly tire pressure checks.

The System utilizes a sensor that accurately measures both tire pressure
and tire air temperature. This sensor is fitted to the inner side of each
wheel and transmits data via electric waves to the receiver. The receiver
instantly compares the data received against the designated values and if
an inconsistency is detected, the warning light symbol illuminates on your
dashboard.

If this symbol lights up, it is alerting you that one or more of your tires may
be underinflated.
If this warning light keeps blinking on and off (for 60 to 90 seconds), it is
indicating a malfunction in the system. After blinking for this time, the
warning light may remain on. If the light remains on, contact your
Scion/Toyota Dealer immediately for a system inspection.

The warning light may indicate a system malfunction requiring a
Scion/Toyota Dealer’s attention. If it flashes before staying on continuously,
the tire pressure could be within the appropriate range, but you should
contact your Scion/Toyota Dealer for a system inspection.
Driving with incorrect tire inflation pressure may result in the following:
• Reduced safety
• Damage to the drivetrain
• Reduced fuel efficiency
• Reduced driving comfort and tire life
If a tire needs frequent filling, have it checked by your Scion/Toyota Dealer.

step 1 Check your tire pressure at least every two weeks - and before
going on long trips. Since the temperature outside affects tire
pressure, you should check your tires when your vehicle has not
been driven more than 1.5 km - or has been parked for at least
3 hours.
step 2 If tire pressure is low, fill your tires to the air pressure
recommended on the tire label.
If you have questions about these 2 steps or other tire maintenance inquiries, check
your Owner’s Manual or consult your Scion/Toyota Dealer.
