The hill- start assist control system operates for a maximum of 2 seconds. If the vehicle is not started within 2 seconds, two beeps will be heard and the system will gradually stop operating. The hill- start control system is not designed to park the vehicle on uphill slope. When parking the vehicle, be sure to apply the parking brake.

If the systems are work properly, the light turns off after a few seconds. Indicator status The tire pressure warning system is not a substitute for checking normal tire inflation pressure. Check the tire inflation pressure with a tire pressure gauge regularly.

This means the tire pressure warning light is operating properly. If the tire inflation pressure becomes low, the light comes on again. In this case, adjusting the tire inflation pressure will turn off the light after a few minutes. If the light comes on after blinking for 1 minute, the tire pressure warning system is not working properly.

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. Adjust the tire inflation pressure immediately. Check the tires. If the tire is flat, change to the spare tire and have the flat tire repaired by the nearest Toyota dealer.

If the vehicle tires deteriorate, you could lose control of the steering wheel or the brakes. The tire pressure warning light may turn on due to natural causes such as natural air leaks or tire inflation pressure changes caused by temperature. In this case, adjusting the tire inflation pressure will turn off the light.

The spare tire is also equipped with the tire pressure warning valve and transmitter. The tire pressure warning light will turn on if the tire inflation pressure of the spare tire is low.

If a tire goes flat, even though the flat tire is replaced with the spare tire, the warning light does not turn off.

Replace the spare tire with the repaired tire and adjust the proper tire inflation pressure. The tire pressure warning light will turn off after several minutes. CAUTION Each tire, including the spare if provided , 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 inflation pressure for those tires.

As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been equipped with a tire pressure monitoring system TPMS— tire pressure warning system that illuminates a low tire pressure telltale tire pressure warning light when one or more of your tires is significantly under- inflated. Accordingly, when the low tire pressure telltale tire pressure warning light illuminates, you should stop and check your tires as soon as possible, 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. The tire pressure warning valves and transmitters will be affected by the installation or removal of tires.

The system will be disabled in the following conditions: When the condition becomes normal, the system will work properly. Even if you use genuine wheels, the tire pressure warning system may not work properly with some types of tires.

For vehicles sold in Canada NOTE Operation is subject to the following two conditions: 1 this device may not cause interference, and 2 this device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device. When replacing the tires and wheels, be sure to install tire pressure warning valves and transmitters. ID codes on the tire pressure warning valves and transmitters are registered on the tire pressure warning ECU. When replacing a tire pressure warning valve and transmitter, it is necessary to register the ID code of tire pressure warning valve and transmitter.

When the tires or tire pressure warning valves and transmitters must be replaced, have them replaced by your Toyota dealer. However, changes in vehicle speed may occur on steeper grades. If the vehicle speed is too fast in relation to the cruise control set speed, cancel the cruise control then downshift the transmission to use engine braking to slow down.

When the system is turned off, cruising speed must be reset when the cruise control is turned on again. When you release it, the vehicle will return to the speed set prior to the acceleration. The cruise control may be temporarily cancelled by the driver or by the system itself under certain circumstances.

Temporary cancellation allows the set cruising speed to remain in memory. This sets the vehicle at that speed. If the speed is not satisfactory, tap the lever up for a faster speed, or tap it down for a slower speed.

Each tap changes the set speed by 1. You can now take your foot off the accelerator pedal. Release the lever when the desired speed is attained. While the lever is held up, the vehicle will gradually gain speed. While the lever is held down, the vehicle speed will gradually decrease. A sound may occur due to brake operation while the vehicle speed is decreasing.

To decrease the vehicle speed, reset to a slower speed with the cruise control lever or depress the brake pedal. If you use the brake pedal, cruise control is cancelled. If any of the following conditions then occurs, there is some trouble in the cruise control system.

If this is the case, contact your Toyota dealer and have your vehicle inspected. Using your audio system. AUX adapter. Audio remote controls. Rear seat entertainment system. Some information may not pertain to your system.
