COROLLA HV_U

When trouble arises
If the tire pressure warning light
blinks for approximately 1 minute
then stays on
There may be a malfunction in the
tire pressure warning system. Have
the vehicle inspected by your Toyota
dealer immediately.
If the tire pressure warning light
comes on
1 After the temperature of the tires
has lowered sufficiently, check
the inflation pressure of each tire
and adjust them to the specified
level.
2 If the warning light does not turn
off even after several minutes
have elapsed, check that the
inflation pressure of each tire is
at the specified level and perform
initialization. (P. 419)
■
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 tem-
perature. 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)
Vehicles with a compact spare tire:
The compact spare tire is not
equipped with a tire pressure warn-
ing valve and transmitter. 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 pres-
sure warning system may not
function properly (vehicles with
a tire pressure warning system)
P.416
WARNING
■
If both the ABS and the brake
system warning lights remain
on
Stop your vehicle in a safe place
immediately and contact your
Toyota dealer.
The vehicle will become
extremely unstable during brak-
ing, and the ABS system may fail,
which could cause an accident
resulting in death or serious injury.
■
When the electric power
steering system warning light
comes on
When the light comes on yellow,
the assist to the power steering is
restricted. When the light comes
on red, the assist to the power
steering is lost and handling oper-
ations of the steering wheel
become extremely heavy.
When steering wheel operations
are heavier than usual, grip the
steering wheel firmly and operate
it using more force than usual.
■
If the tire pressure warning
light comes on (vehicles with
a tire pressure warning sys-
tem)
Be sure to observe the following
precautions.
Failure to do so could cause a
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 immedi-
ately.
