What should the air pressure be in Prius tires?
32 psi
This tyre placard recommends a minimum tyre pressure of 32 psi for the 2019 Toyota Prius i-Tech. This is equal to 220kPa and 2.2 bar. Note: This advice is only to be used as a guide.
Can you find recommended tire pressure on the dashboard?
The first thing to do is manually check your tire pressures with a gauge and add air until the pressures reach the vehicle manufacturer specification. (You’ll find the correct pressure on the driver’s door jamb or in the owner’s manual, not on the sidewall of the tire- that’s the tire’s maximum pressure.)
How do you check air pressure in a Prius?
You’ll find it low and to the right of the steering wheel on the instrument panel. Hold the button down until the TPMS indicator light in the instrument panel blinks slowly 3 three times. Wait for several minutes with the engine running, to allow the system to record each tire’s pressure, then turn the engine off.
How do I remove tire pressure warning?
Without starting the car, turn the key to the “On” position. Press the TPMS reset button and hold it until the light blinks three times, then release it. Start the car and let it run for 20 minutes to reset the sensor. You’ll usually find the tire pressure monitor reset button beneath the steering wheel.
What does the tire pressure sensor on a Toyota Prius do?
Tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) or also known as TPWS on Toyota cars is a system that provides a real tire pressure report to the driver. If the TPMS warning light appears on your 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 Toyota Prius, it is necessary to reset the TPMS.
When does the TPWS light go out on a Prius?
The TPWS light should go out shortly after you set the pressures to the proper level. If just one tire is lower than the rest by more than 25%, have a tire technician investigate. The reason you have a tire pressure monitoring system in your Prius is to detect a flat tire. Or more than one flat tire.
Why are Toyota Prius tires set at 42 / 40?
The OE tires have soft sidewalls and tend to scrub the tread edges on turns at that pressure. They also tend to track unstably at highway speeds (they are not very good tires). The higher pressure of 42/40 reduces both of these problems as well as slightly improving MPG.
What’s the difference between front and rear Toyota Prius tires?
The two pound difference is because your Prius is heavier in the front than in the rear. The Toyota recomendation is 35/33 which is their compromise for a softer ride. The OE tires have soft sidewalls and tend to scrub the tread edges on turns at that pressure. They also tend to track unstably at highway speeds (they are not very good tires).
