n The tire pressure warning system
Your Toyota is equipped with a tire pressure warning system that uses tire pressure warning valves and transmitters to detect low tire inflation pressure before serious problems arise. (→P. 509) The compact spare tire is not equipped with a tire pressure warning valve and transmitter.
Installing tire pressure warning valves and transmitters
When replacing tires or wheels, tire pressure warning valves and transmitters must also be installed. When new tire pressure warning valves and transmitters are installed, new tire pressure warning valve and transmitter ID codes must be registered in the tire pressure warning computer and tire pressure warning system must be initialized. Have tire pressure warning valve and transmitter ID codes registered by Toyota dealer. (→P. 456)
Initializing the tire pressure warning system
n The tire pressure warning system must be initialized in the fol-
lowing circumstances l When rotating the tires on vehicles differing with front and rear
tire inflation pressures.
l When changing the tire inflation pressure by changing traveling
speed or load weight, etc.
l When changing the tire size. When the tire pressure warning system is initialized, the current tire inflation pressure is set as the pressure benchmark.
454
PRIUS_U (OM47685U) DVD
4-3. Do-it-yourself maintenance
n How to initialize the tire pressure warning system
STEP 1
Park the vehicle in safe place and turn the “POWER” switch OFF. While the vehicle is moving, initialization is not performed. Adjust the tire inflation pressure to the specified cold tire infla- tion pressure level. (→P. 575) Make sure to adjust the tire pressure to the specified cold tire inflation pressure level.

Registering ID codes
The tire pressure warning valve and transmitter is equipped with a unique ID code. When replacing a tire pressure warning valve and transmitter, it is necessary to register the ID code of tire pressure warning valve and transmitter. Have the ID code registered by your Toyota dealer.
n When to replace your vehicle’s tires
Tires should be replaced if: l You have tire damage such as cuts, splits, cracks deep enough to
expose the fabric or bulges indicating internal damage
l A tire goes flat repeatedly or cannot be properly repaired due to the size
or location of a cut or other damage
If you are not sure, consult with your Toyota dealer.
n Replacing tires and wheels
If the ID code of the tire pressure warning valve and transmitter is not regis- tered, the tire pressure warning system will not work properly. After driving for about 20 minutes, the tire pressure warning light comes on after blinking for 1 minute to indicate a system malfunction.
456
PRIUS_U (OM47685U) DVD
4-3. Do-it-yourself maintenance
n Tire life
Any tire over 6 years old must be checked by a qualified technician even if they have seldom or never been used or damage is not obvious. n If the tread wears down below 0.16 in. (4 mm) on snow tires
The effectiveness of snow tires is lost.
n Low profile tires (vehicles with 17-inch tires)
Generally, low profile tires will wear more rapidly and tire grip performance will be reduced on snowy and/or icy roads when compared to standard tires. Be sure to use snow tires or tire chains on snowy and/or icy roads and drive carefully at a speed appropriate for road and weather conditions.
n Maximum load of tire
Check that the maximum load of the replacement tire is greater than 1/2 of the Gross Axle Weight Ratings (GAWR) of either the front axle or the rear axle, whichever is greater.
For the GAWR, see the Certification Label. For the maximum load of the tire, see the load limit at maximum cold tire inflation pressure mentioned on the sidewall of the tire.(→P. 581)

n Tire types
1 Summer tires
Summer tires are high-speed performance tires best suited to highway driving under dry conditions. Since summer tires do not have the same traction performance as snow tires, summer tires are inadequate for driving on snow-covered or icy roads. For driving on snow-covered roads or icy roads, the use of snow tires is recommended. When installing snow tires, be sure to replace all four tires.
2 All season tires
All season tires are designed to provide better traction in snow and to be adequate for driving in most winter conditions, as well as for use year round. All season tires, however, do not have adequate traction performance compared with snow tires in heavy or loose snow. Also, all season tires fall short in acceleration and handling performance compared with summer tires in highway driving.
3 Snow tires
For driving on snow-covered roads or icy roads, we recommend using snow tires. If you need snow tires, select tires of the same size, con- struction and load capacity as the originally installed tires. Since your vehicle has radial tires as original equipment, make sure your snow tires also have radial construction. Do not install studded tires without first checking local regulations for possible restriction. Snow tires should be installed on all wheels. (→P. 270)

n Initializing the tire pressure warning system
Initialize the tires with the tire inflation pressure adjusted to the specified level.
n If you push the tire pressure warning reset switch accidentally
If initialization is performed, adjust the tire inflation pressure to the speci- fied level and initialize the tire pressure warning system again.
n When the initialization of the tire pressure warning system has
failed Initialization can be completed in a few minutes. However, in the following cases, the settings have not been recorded and the system will not operate properly. If repeated attempts to record tire inflation pressure settings are unsuccessful, have the vehicle inspected by your Toyota dealer. l When operating the tire pressure warning reset switch, the tire pres-
sure warning light does not flash 3 times.
l After carrying out the initialization procedure, the tire pressure warn-
ing light blinks for 1 minute then stays on after driving 20 minutes.
n Routine tire inflation pressure checks
The tire pressure warning system does not replace routine tire inflation pressure checks. Make sure to check tire inflation pressure as part of your routine of daily vehicle checks.

NOTICE
n Repairing or replacing tires, wheels, tire pressure warning valves
and transmitters and tire valve caps l When removing or fitting the wheels, tires or the tire pressure warning valve and transmitter, contact your Toyota dealer as the tire pressure warning valve and transmitter may be damaged if not handled cor- rectly.
l When replacing tire valve caps, do not use tire valve caps other than
those specified. The cap may become stuck.
n To avoid damage to the tire pressure warning valves and transmit-
ters When a tire is repaired with liquid sealants, the tire pressure warning valve and transmitter may not operate properly. If a liquid sealant is used, contact your Toyota dealer or other qualified service shop as soon as possible. Make sure to replace the tire pressure warning valve and transmitter when replacing the tire (→P. 454)
n Driving on rough roads
Take particular care when driving on roads with loose surfaces or pot- holes. These conditions may cause losses in tire inflation pressure, reducing the cushioning ability of the tires. In addition driving on rough roads may cause damage to the tires themselves, as well as the vehicle’s wheels and body.
n Low profile tires (vehicles with 17-inch tires)
Low profile tires may cause greater damage than usual to the wheel when receiving impact from the road surface. Therefore pay attention to the following: l Be sure to use proper tire inflation pressure. If tires are under-inflated,
they may be damaged more severely.
l Avoid pot holes, uneven pavement, curbs and other road hazards.
Failure to do so can lead to severe tire and wheel damage.
n If tire inflation pressures become low while driving
Do not continue driving, or your tires and/or wheels may be ruined.

n Effects of incorrect tire inflation pressure
Driving with incorrect tire inflation pressure may result in the following: l Reduced fuel efficiency l Reduced driving comfort and tire life l Reduced safety l Damage to the drive train If a tire needs frequent refilling, have it checked by your Toyota dealer.
n Instructions for checking tire inflation pressure
When checking tire inflation pressure, observe the following: l Check only when the tires are cold.
If your vehicle has been parked for at least 3 hours and has not been driven for more than 1 mile or 1.5 km, you will get an accurate cold tire inflation pressure reading.
l Always use a tire pressure gauge.
The appearance of the tire can be misleading. In addition, tire infla- tion pressures that are even just a few pounds off can degrade ride and handling.
l Do not bleed or reduce tire inflation pressure after driving. It is normal
for the tire inflation pressure to be higher after driving.
l Never exceed the vehicle capacity weight.
Passengers and luggage weight should be placed so that the vehicle is balanced.

n 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. 481) If the replaced fuse blows again, have the vehicle inspected by your Toyota dealer.
n If there is an overload in the circuits
The fuses are designed to blow, protecting the wiring harness from damage.
CAUTION
n To prevent system breakdowns and vehicle fire
Observe the following precautions. Failing to do so may cause damage, and possibly a fire or injury. l Never use a fuse of a higher amperage rating than indicated, or use any
other object in place of a fuse.
l Always use a genuine Toyota fuse or equivalent.
Never replace a fuse with a wire, even as a temporary fix. This can cause extensive damage or even fire.
l Do not modify fuses or the fuse box.
NOTICE
n Before replacing fuses
Have the cause of electrical overload determined and repaired by your Toyota dealer.
