- With the vehicle parked, switch the ignition to “LOCK” or “OFF“. For push-button models, press the “Engine Start/Stop” button two times without holding the brake.
- Locate the tire pressure reset switch located in one of the following places depending on the model and year:
- Below the steering wheel (way up under the dash)
- On instrument panel

- Inside glove box
A typical location for the TPMS reset button on the Toyota RAV4 is inside the glove box.
- Press and hold the switch until the tire pressure light flashes 3 times.
- Wait for about 3 minutes, then turn the ignition to “LOCK” or “OFF“. The reset will be complete.
Note: If you are experiencing problems where the tire pressure warning light is lit when it shouldn’t be, be sure to check the pressure in all 5 tires. That includes the spare!
If you performed the steps correctly, you have initialized the tire pressure system on your RAV4.
