First check the following:
●
Is your vehicle low on gas?
If it is, refuel the vehicle immediately.

If it is, tighten it securely.

If the light does not go off even after several trips, contact your Toyota dealer
as soon as possible.

When the tire pressure warning light comes on

Check the tire inflation pressure and adjust to the appropriate level.
Pushing the tire pressure warning reset switch does not turn off the tire
pressure warning light.
■
The tire pressure warning light may turn on due to natural causes
The tire pressure warning light may turn on due to natural causes such
as natural air leaks or tire inflation pressure changes caused by temper-
ature. In this case, adjusting the tire inflation pressure will turn off the
warning light (after a few minutes).

When a tire is replaced with a spare tire

The temporary spare tire is not equipped with the tire pressure warning
valve and transmitter. If a tire goes flat, the tire pressure warning light will
not turn off even though the flat tire is replaced with the temporary spare
tire. Replace the temporary spare tire with the repaired tire and adjust
the proper tire inflation pressure. The tire pressure warning light will turn
off after a few minutes.
