■ After a fuse is replaced

●If the lights do not turn on even after the fuse has been replaced, a bulb may

need replacement. (P. 543)

●If the replaced fuse blows again, have the vehicle inspected by any autho-

rized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped pro-

fessional.

■ If there is an overload in a circuit

The fuses are designed to blow, protecting the wiring harness from damage.

■When replacing light bulbs

Toyota recommends that you use genuine Toyota products designed for this

vehicle. Because certain bulbs are connected to circuits designed to prevent

overload, non-genuine parts or parts not designed for this vehicle may be

unusable.

WARNING

■ To prevent system breakdowns and vehicle fire

Observe the following precautions.

Failure to do so may cause damage to the vehicle, and possibly a fire or

injury.

●Never use a fuse of a higher amperage rating than that indicated, or use

any other object in place of a fuse.

●Always use a genuine Toyota fuse or equivalent.

Never replace a fuse with a wire, even as a temporary fix.

●Do not modify the fuses or fuse boxes.

NOTICE

■ Before replacing fuses

Have the cause of electrical overload determined and repaired by any

authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped

professional as soon as possible.

■ Front passenger detection sensor, seat belt reminder and warning

buzzer

●If luggage is placed on the front passenger seat, the front passenger detec-

tion sensor may cause the warning light to flash and the warning buzzer to

sound even if a passenger is not sitting in the seat.

●If a cushion is placed on the seat, the sensor may not detect a passenger,

and the warning light may not operate properly.

■ If the malfunction indicator lamp comes on while driving

For some models, the malfunction indicator lamp will come on if the fuel tank

becomes completely empty. If the fuel tank is empty, refuel the vehicle imme-

diately. The malfunction indicator lamp will go off after several trips.

If the malfunction indicator lamp does not go off, contact any authorized

Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional

as soon as possible.

■ When the tire pressure warning light comes on (vehicles with a tire pres-

sure warning system)

Carry out the following procedure after the tire temperature has lowered suffi-

ciently.

● Check the tire inflation pressure and adjust it to the appropriate level.

●If the warning light does not go out after several minutes, check that the tire

inflation pressure is at the specified level and carry out initialization.

The warning light may come on again if the above operations are conducted

without first allowing the tire temperature to lower sufficiently.

■ The tire pressure warning light may come on due to natural causes

(vehicles with a tire pressure warning system)

The tire pressure warning light may come on due to natural causes such as

natural air leaks and tire inflation pressure changes caused by temperature.

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 (vehicles with a tire pressure

warning system)

The spare tire is not equipped with a tire pressure warning valve and trans-

mitter. If a tire goes flat, the tire pressure warning light will not turn off even

though the flat tire has been replaced with the spare tire. Replace the spare

tire with the repaired tire and adjust the tire inflation pressure. The tire pres-

sure warning light will go off after a few minutes.

■ Conditions that the tire pressure warning system may not function prop-

erly (vehicles with a tire pressure warning system)

■ Warning buzzer

In some cases, the buzzer may not be heard because of noisy place or an

audio sound.

■ If the engine oil change reminder light flashes (diesel engine)

Repeated short trips and/or low-speed driving may cause the oil to degrade

sooner than usual, regardless of the actual distance driven. If this happens,

the engine oil change reminder will flash.

■ Engine oil change reminder light comes on (diesel engine)

Replace the engine oil filter when the engine oil change reminder light does

not come on even if you have driven over 15000 km (9300 miles) after the

engine oil was changed.

There is a possibility that the engine oil change reminder light has been illumi-

nated when you have driven less than 15000 km (9300 miles) based on a

usage or driving condition.

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 infla-

tion pressure immediately.

● Vehicles with a spare tire: 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 a tire is flat, change it with the spare tire and have

the flat tire repaired by the nearest authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or

another duly qualified and equipped professional.

● Vehicles with an emergency tire puncture repair kit: 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 a tire is flat, repair the

flat tire by using emergency tire puncture repair kit.

● Avoid abrupt maneuvering and braking. If the vehicle tires deteriorate, you

could lose control of the steering wheel or the brakes.

■ If a blowout or sudden air leakage should occur (vehicles with a tire

pressure warning system)

WARNING

■ Replacing a flat tire

●Do not touch the disc wheels or the area around the brakes immediately

after the vehicle has been driven.

After the vehicle has been driven the disc wheels and the area around the

brakes will be extremely hot. Touching these areas with hands, feet or

other body parts while changing a tire, etc. may result in burns.

●Failure to follow these precautions could cause the wheel nuts to loosen

and the tire to fall off, resulting in death or serious injury.

• Never use oil or grease on the wheel bolts or wheel nuts.

Oil and grease may cause the wheel nuts to be excessively tightened,

leading to bolt or disc wheel damage. In addition, the oil or grease can

cause the wheel nuts to loosen and the wheel may fall off, causing a

serious accident. Remove any oil or grease from the wheel bolts or

wheel nuts.

• Have the wheel nuts tightened with a torque wrench to 103 N•m

(10.5 kgf•m, 76 ft•lbf) as soon as possible after changing wheels.

• Do not attach a heavily damaged wheel ornament, as it may fly off the

wheel while the vehicle is moving.

• When installing a tire, only use wheel nuts that have been specifically

designed for that wheel.

• If there are any cracks or deformations in the bolt screws, nut threads or

bolt holes of the wheel, have the vehicle inspected by any authorized

Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped profes-

sional.

• When installing the wheel nuts, be sure to install them with the tapered

ends facing inward. (P. 530)

Installing the spare tire

Remove any dirt or foreign mat-

ter from the wheel contact sur-

face.

If foreign matter is on the wheel

contact surface, the wheel nuts

may loosen while the vehicle is in
