5-1. Essential information If your vehicle needs to be towed

If towing is necessary, we recommend having your vehicle towed by your Toyota dealer or a commercial towing service, using a lift-type truck or flatbed truck. Use a safety chain system for all towing, and abide by all state/pro- vincial and local laws.

Before towing

The following may indicate a problem with your transmission. Contact your Toyota dealer before towing. ● The engine is running but the vehicle will not move. ● The vehicle makes an abnormal sound.

Emergency towing

If a tow truck is not available in an emergency, your vehicle may be temporarily towed using a cable or chain secured to the emergency towing eyelet(s). This should only be attempted on hard surfaced roads for short distances at low speeds. A driver must be in the vehicle to steer and operate the brakes. The vehicle’s wheels, drive train, axles, steering and brakes must be in good condition.

5-1. Essential information Event data recorder

Your vehicle has computers that monitor and control certain aspects of your vehicle. These computers assist in driving and maintaining optimal vehicle performance. Besides storing data useful for troubleshooting, there is an event data recorder (EDR) that records data in a crash or near crash event.

In a crash or near crash event

The SRS airbag sensor assembly contains the EDR. In a crash or near crash event, this device may record some or all of the following information: ● Gasoline engine speed ● Whether the brake pedal was depressed or not ● Vehicle speed ● To what extent the accelerator pedal was depressed ● Position of the transmission shift lever ● Whether the driver and front passenger wore seat belts or not ● Driver’s seat position ● SRS airbag deployment data ● SRS airbag system diagnostic data ● Front passenger’s occupant classification The information above is intended to be used for the purpose of improving vehicle safety performance. Unlike general data recorders, the EDR does not record sound data such as conversation between passengers.

563

5-1. Essential information

Disclosure of the data

Toyota will not disclose the data recorded in an EDR to a third party except when: ● An agreement from the vehicle’s owner (or the leasing company for

a leased vehicle) is obtained

● Officially requested to by the police or other authorities ● Necessary, to be used as a defense for Toyota in a law suit ● Ordered by a court of law However, if necessary Toyota will: ● Use the data for research on Toyota vehicle safety performance ● Disclose the data to a third party for research purposes without dis- closing details of the vehicle owner, and that only when deemed necessary

● Disclose summarized data cleared of vehicle identification informa-

tion to a non-Toyota organization for research purposes

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

The spare tire is not equipped with a 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 has been replaced with the spare tire. Replace the spare tire with the repaired tire and adjust the tire inflation pressure. The tire pressure warning light will go off after a few minutes.

573

5-2. Steps to take in an emergency

■If the tire pressure warning system is not functioning

The tire pressure warning system will be disabled in the following condi- tions: (When the condition becomes normal, the system will work properly.) ●If tires not equipped with tire pressure warning valves and transmit-

ters are used

●If the ID code on the tire pressure warning valves and transmitters is

not registered in the tire pressure warning computer

●If the tire inflation pressure is 73 psi (500 kPa, 5.1 kgf/cm2 or bar) or

higher

The tire pressure warning system may be disabled in the following condi- tions: (When the condition becomes normal, the system will work properly.) ●If electronic devices or facilities using similar radio wave frequencies

are nearby

●If a radio set at a similar frequency is in use in the vehicle ●If a window tint that affects the radio wave signals is installed ●If there is a lot of snow or ice on the vehicle, particularly around the

wheels or wheel housings

●If non-genuine Toyota wheels are used (Even if you use Toyota wheels, the tire pressure warning system may not work properly with some types of tires.) ●If tire chains are used

■If the tire pressure warning light comes on after flashing frequently

for 1 minute If the tire pressure warning light comes on after flashing frequently for 1
minute when the “ENGINE START STOP” switch (vehicles with a smart key system) or the engine switch (vehicles without a smart key system) is turned on, have it checked by your Toyota dealer.

■Customization that can be configured at Toyota dealer

The vehicle speed linked seat belt reminder buzzer can be disabled. (Customizable features →P. 638) However, Toyota recommends that the seat belt reminder buzzer be operational to alert the driver and front passen- ger when seat belts are not fastened.

574

5-2. Steps to take in an emergency

CAUTION

■If the tire pressure warning light comes on

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 immediately.

●If the tire pressure warning light comes on even after tire inflation pres- sure 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 Toyota dealer.

●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

The tire pressure warning system may not activate immediately.

575

5-2. Steps to take in an emergency

CAUTION

■Maintenance of the tires

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 differ- ent 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) illumi- nates, 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. Under-inflation also reduces fuel efficiency and tire tread life, and may affect the vehicle’s handling and stopping ability. Please note that the TPMS (tire pressure warning system) is not a sub- stitute for proper tire maintenance, and it is the driver’s responsibility to maintain correct tire pressure, even if under-inflation has not reached the level to trigger illumination of the TPMS low tire pressure telltale (tire pressure warning light).

576

5-2. Steps to take in an emergency

CAUTION

Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS (tire pressure warning system) malfunction indicator to indicate when the system is not operat- ing properly. The TPMS (tire pressure warning system) malfunction indi- cator is combined with the low tire pressure telltale (tire pressure warning light). When the system detects a malfunction, the telltale will flash for approximately one minute and then remain continuously illumi- nated. This sequence will continue upon subsequent vehicle start-ups as long as the malfunction exists. When the malfunction indicator is illumi- nated, the system may not be able to detect or signal low tire pressure as intended. TPMS (tire pressure warning system) malfunctions may occur for a vari- ety of reasons, including the installation of replacement or alternate tires or wheels on the vehicle that prevent the TPMS (tire pressure warning system) from functioning properly. Always check the TPMS (tire pres- sure warning system) malfunction telltale after replacing one or more tires or wheels on your vehicle to ensure that the replacement or alter- nate tires and wheels allow the TPMS (tire pressure warning system) to continue to function properly.

NOTICE

■Precaution when installing a different tire

When a tire of a different specification or maker is installed, the tire pres- sure warning system may not operate properly.

577

5-2. Steps to take in an emergency If you have a flat tire

■After completing the tire change

The tire pressure warning system must be reset. (→P. 515)

■When using the spare tire

As the spare tire is not equipped with a tire pressure warning valve and transmitter, low inflation pressure of the spare tire will not be indicated by the tire pressure warning system. Also, if you replace the compact spare tire after the tire pressure warning light comes on, the light remains on.

CAUTION

■Using the tire jack

Improper use of the tire jack may cause the vehicle to suddenly fall off the jack, leading to death or serious injury. ●Do not use the tire jack for any purpose other than replacing tires or

installing and removing tire chains.

●Only use the tire jack that comes with this vehicle for replacing a flat

tire. Do not use it on other vehicles, and do not use other tire jacks for replacing tires on this vehicle.

●Always check that the tire jack is securely set to the jack point. ●Do not put any part of your body under the vehicle while it is supported

by the jack.

●Do not start or run the engine while your vehicle is supported by the

jack.

●Do not raise the vehicle while someone is inside. ●When raising the vehicle, do not put an object on or under the jack. ●Do not raise the vehicle to a height greater than that required to

replace the tire.

●Use a jack stand if it is necessary to get under the vehicle. Take particular care when lowering the vehicle to ensure that no one working on or near the vehicle may be injured.

5-2. Steps to take in an emergency

CAUTION

■Using the jack handle

Tighten all the jack handle bolts securely using a Phillips-head screw- driver, to prevent the extension parts from coming apart unexpectedly.

■Replacing a flat tire

Observe the following precautions to reduce the risk of death or serious injury. ●Lower the spare tire completely to the ground before removing it from

under the vehicle.

●Do not try to remove the wheel ornament by hand. Take due care in

handling the ornament to avoid unexpected personal 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 83 ft•lbf (110

N•m, 11.5 kgf•m) 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 your Toyota dealer.

Failure to follow these precautions could cause the wheel nuts to loosen and the tire to fall off, resulting in death or serious injury.
