quently when the “POWER” switch is turned to ON mode, have it
checked by your Toyota dealer.

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.
• 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.
n If a blowout or sudden air loss should occur
The tire pressure warning system may not activate immediately.
