How does the Tire Pressure Monitoring System work on a Toyota?

If the Tire Pressure Monitor System senses seriously low pressure in one of your tires, the low tire pressure icon will appear in the instrument display and you'll see a warning message in the Multi-Information Display. If the indicator light stays on, check all the tires and refill, repair or replace any that are below the proper pressure. Rotating tires, changing tire pressures, or switching tire sizes could trigger the warning. To reset the system, first make sure the tire pressures are correct. Turn the engine on, then press and hold the reset button. 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. more If the light comes on and blinks when you start the car, something may not be working properly, and you should take it to Passport Toyota to be inspected. If you replace one of the original wheels or pressure sensors, you'll need to have a Toyota dealership register it. Disclaimer: The Toyota Tire Pressure Monitor alerts the driver when tire pressure is critically low. For optimal tire wear and performance, tire pressure should be checked regularly with a gauge; do not rely solely on the monitor system. See your Owner's Manual for details. Not all features are available on all vehicles and model grades. Please see your Owner's Manual for further details and important safety information.

Toyota to Reduce Emissions from North American Operations by up to Forty Percent

Toyota Motor North America (TMNA) is committing to aggressively reduce its carbon output in the United States by entering into Virtual Power Purchase Agreements (VPPAs). It will use them to reduce emissions from its North American operations by up to forty percent over the next 3 years. The move represents another major step towards Toyota’s Environmental Challenge 2050 goal of cutting global emissions from plant operations to zero globally by the year 2050. Under the VPPAs, which the company expects to commence later this year, TMNA will contract with renewable energy providers to generate wind and solar power that will be provided directly to regional electric grids. The supply of renewable power is expected to reduce use of fossil fuels while improving the sustainability of the electric grid in the area. By powering its operations from the enhanced grid and applying Renewable Energy Credits earned by funding the generation of renewable electricity, Toyota expects to substantially offset emissions from its facilities in North America. more “Toyota has long been defined by its commitment to responsible environmental practices, and we’re proud to build upon that great legacy today,” said Kevin Butt, General Manager and Regional Environmental Sustainability Director for Toyota Motor North America. “We are committed to setting an example of sustainability that goes beyond vehicles to show how a company can significantly reduce the environmental impact of its operations. By cutting our U.S. emissions by forty percent, we will be that much closer to our goal of having a net positive impact on the environment by the middle of this century.” Toyota’s VPPA program is the result of more than six years of research into how best to reduce and offset emissions from the company’s operations, working in partnership with MIT, the National Renewable Energy Lab, the Rocky Mountain Institute, and others. It is part of a wider effort across the company to reduce the environmental impact of enterprise operations as it also works to limit vehicle emissions. This endeavor supports Toyota’s Environmental Challenge 2050. Launched in 2015, the Challenge sets out six objectives for the company’s global operations, including: 1. A ninety percent reduction in global average CO2 emissions from new vehicles vs. 2010 levels; 2. The complete elimination of CO2 emissions from the entire vehicle life cycle; zero emissions at all manufacturing plants worldwide; 3. Elimination of CO2 emissions from all suppliers and logistics streams from overall operations; 4. Minimizing water usage and implementing water discharge management protocols; 5. Promoting global deployment of end-of-life vehicle treatment and recycling, and; 6. Connecting and promoting nature conservation activities outside of the Toyota Group in the communities where we operate.

Passport Toyota explains why oil changes are important and how often you should have the service done to your vehicle

One of the most important things you can do to keep your vehicle healthy and running smoothly is to change its oil. Changing a vehicle’s oil is simple enough to do at home, but if you simply do not have the time to do it yourself, fear not, your friends here at Passport Auto Group are here to help you out. Our trained specialists use parts from each manufacturer and have the experience and knowledge to get your oil change done in a timely fashion so you can get on with your busy day. Many people who bring their vehicles in when they need to change their oil do not think about bringing it to a dealership because they think we charge more than other places. In fact, our prices are very competitive, and we use genuine parts while other service shops may not. We also include many other service features to go along with your oil change to make your vehicle drive like the day you drove it off of our lot. more HOW OFTEN DO I NEED AN OIL CHANGE? You may be under the impression that every car needs an oil change at exactly three months or 3,000 miles. Or maybe you're on the other end of the spectrum and you won't bother until your engine actually stops running. (Spoiler alert: if that has happened, it's too late.) The first example is just a little off. The second is scary! MY, HOW TIMES HAVE CHANGED. The standard 3,000 mile rule comes from an earlier age of vehicle production. With advances in both engine and oil technology, you don't need to stick to such a frequent schedule. Some classic and specialty cars will still want to be on this tighter timetable, but if you're driving a vehicle built in the last decade or so, it probably isn't necessary. It won't hurt the car, but you might just be wasting some good oil if you change it too often. BUT WHY SHOULD I BOTHER TO CHANGE THE OIL IN MY CAR? Oil lubricates your engine and all of its little components. When the oil breaks down, it can't do its job effectively anymore. With all that friction, your engine will overheat, which can cause parts to quickly wear down and warp. If you just never change your oil, your engine is likely to eventually seize up and turn into a big useless pile of scrap metal. SO WHAT SHOULD I DO? Unfortunately, there isn't really an easy rule to remember across the board. Each car is different, and each driver is different. The first thing to do is check your owner's manual. For example, some manufacturers recommend a maximum interval of 12 months or 7,500 miles between oil changes for many of their models. Your next guideline is to make sure you always pay attention to your vehicle's notifications and warning lights- most new vehicles include some very cool technology and it would be a shame to ignore it! You'll want to adjust your own oil change schedule depending on your driving habits and conditions. Extreme temperatures, both hot and cold, can cause your oil to work a little harder. Here are some other factors to consider: • Stop-and-go vs. highway mileage • Mountains and hills vs. flat terrain • Frequency of heavy loads or towing • Frequency of engine idling Don't forget to check our service specials page for any applicable money-savers, and then schedule a service if your car is ready for an oil change. Please feel free to call or stop by to discuss your own vehicle and driving habits - our experienced technicians are here to help you get the most out of your car, and we can help you come up with an oil change schedule you're comfortable with. We know our environment and our brand, so be honest about how aggressive you drive and we'll make sure your car gets the best possible care! CHOOSE YOUR OIL TYPE WITH THE HELP OF OUR EXPERTS Considering the type of oil that you need for your vehicle to continue a successful streak of commuting? There are a number of options that your vehicle may or may not be right for, and it can sometimes be confusing differentiating between the choices that are available. We are here to help! We have a preview of standard motor oil, synthetic blend and full synthetic ready for you to review, and we look forward to your next scheduled oil change here at our service center! STANDARD OIL This is the most common brand of oil that you will discover for your vehicle, and one that most leading brands carry. Usually distinguished by a 5W-20 or 5W-30 branding, this oil is recommended to be changed every couple months or thousands of miles, with a routine maintenance appointment easy to schedule with our factory-trained technicians. FULL SYNTHETIC OIL A full synthetic blend proves to be a more expensive type of oil, but for good reason. This oil type is superior to that of standard oil, and designed to thrive in both colder and hotter climates. Tested for maximum performance and held to stringent standards, this oil is typically required for more technologically advanced engine types. SYNTHETIC BLEND Mixed with an organic blend and full synthetic, this type of motor oil typically is relegated to pickup trucks and specific SUVs. Designed to support heavy transportation loads and extreme climates, you will be confident in the strength and durability of this oil type. Click here to schedule your oil service today

Toyota Shifts Production Plans at Its Alabama Joint Venture Plant

Toyota is shifting future production plans at the Mazda Toyota Manufacturing U.S.A. (MTMUS) joint venture assembly plant as an opportunity to build a new, yet-to-be announced SUV. This shift is in response to changing market demands and a growing consumer appetite for light trucks and SUVs which are achieving record sales, including Toyota’s best-selling RAV4. More details related to the future SUV will be released at a later date. Corolla production continues at Toyota’s Blue Springs, Mississippi, plant. Construction of MTMUS in Huntsville, Alabama, remains on schedule, with the start of production expected to begin in 2021. Up to 4,000 new jobs will be created and hiring is underway. In August 2017, Toyota and Mazda announced a collaboration to establish MTMUS, a $1.6 billion joint venture that will assemble up to 300,000 vehicles annually.

Pure and Natural: The Sound of a Supra

What draws us to a sports car? Perhaps it’s the way that light bends around its contours, or how it feels when you steer into a tight turn. Maybe it’s the distinctive smell of burnt rubber, or the way adrenaline tastes. For most drivers, it’s not one, but all of these things. We’re drawn to the way they ignite our five senses. Toyota’s engineers conceived the new Supra GT as a multisensory experience, but sound was first among equals. Developed with a new, nonnegotiable 3.0-liter inline-six engine, the Supra reconnects drivers to the raw, unadulterated sound and experience that comes with driving a sports car. So, how does one shape the sound of an engine to bring the excitement of a sports car to life? You don’t shape it — you preserve it, according to Toyota Supra Chief Engineer Tetsuya Tada. “When cooking, if the ingredients are good and fresh, you don’t have to add extra ingredients. It already tastes great,” Tada said. “It’s the same concept when it comes to sound engineering.” In other words, let nature do the talking. more An Aural History In the world of auto sports, sound has a sprawling lineage. From the revved-up putter of the Ferrari F1 to the banshee wail of the Lexus LFA, the sound of a car can be as iconic as the chassis or any other component. But it’s more than just aesthetics: Sound matters to the experience of street driving, too. Not surprisingly, today’s cars sound very different from those of the past. Due to emission regulations and tighter tolerances within the engine, manufacturers have had to adjust their process — and rightly so. What ends up being sacrificed, though, is the purity of sound that captivates the driver. Also reining in the roar of contemporary cars are strict government regulations around noise that have made it nearly impossible to run an exhaust all the way through the back of the car. Tada’s task is to work within these limitations, doing his best to preserve a pure sound that ignites the senses. A Process of Preservation Tada’s philosophy is to coax and protect rather than force. That’s why he didn’t set out to create a sound. Instead, he believed that if the initial sound could be unrestricted, the voluptuous vroom that typifies the aural racing experience could issue forth. Tada was adamant about having the inline straight six. With no unnecessary vibrations and no unnecessary noise, the engine provides a “wonderful, piercing sound that just travels forever.” “When that natural sound reaches the driver, that’s when he can really feel the condition of the car. The driver can react to that, which allows him to drive and control the car better,” he said. “That’s what makes it fun.” Fun and classic. In the whisper-quiet era of hybrid and electrified vehicles, Tada believes this may be the last time he can offer up a car with a crisp, raw sound. It is his gift, of sorts, to the enthusiast and the car community. “Being able to create a car like this, I’m hoping that enthusiasts will be able to enjoy it for the next 20, 30 years moving into the future.” On sound that travels forever, the road is open.

New Toyota program waives lease payments and fees for spouses of service members who have suffered a catastrophic injury

In recognition of the sacrifice made by military service members and their families, Toyota Financial Services has introduced a new program that waives the remaining lease payments for military customers who die or are catastrophically injured in the line of duty. Gold Star families are the relatives of U.S. military members who have died while serving their country. Toyota’s program extends to the Gold Star families and goes a step further to include service members who have been catastrophically injured. “We value our customers and recognize the sacrifices these heroes have made to defend our freedoms,” said Anna Sampang, Toyota Financial Services vice president of service operations. “We’re hopeful this new program will help their families as they navigate a difficult time.” The company invites eligible Toyota and Lexus lease customers or their family members to contact Toyota Financial Services or Lexus Financial Services to be assisted. Toyota Financial Services will allow the customer’s estate or family to return the vehicle and will forgive the remaining lease payments and any end of lease fees from their existing lease contract. “Toyota is grateful to the service members who have given so much to protect our country,” said Mark Templin, president and CEO of Toyota Financial Services. “We humbly thank the families of those who have sacrificed their lives or suffered catastrophic injuries to keep the United States safe, and we are honored to do our part to recognize their service.” This program is the latest endeavor in Toyota’s extensive recognition of the men and women who serve in our nation’s armed forces. Since 2012, the company has supported Hiring Our Heroes, a program of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation that connects veterans, transitioning service members, and military spouses with career opportunities. Toyota also offers military rebates to U.S. military personnel, household members of eligible U.S. military personnel (including Gold Star families), U.S. military retirees, and U.S. military veterans within two years of discharge.

Exterior upgrades added for 2019 Toyota Highlander LE, XLE and SE grades

The original Toyota Highlander remains a pioneer in the now-expansive midsize crossover category, continuing to draw accolades for its exemplary safety features, performance and overall drivability. Still a three-row family SUV with seating for up to eight, the 2019 Highlander gas model remains available in LE, LE Plus, XLE, SE and Limited grades, all available in either FWD or AWD. The hybrid model is offered in LE, XLE, and Limited grades. New for 2019 For 2019, the Toyota Highlander receives numerous exterior upgrades across all grades. For the LE, LE PLUS and XLE grades for both gas and hybrid, a new black bodyside rocker panel has been added. For the SE grade, exterior upgrades now include black headlights, black tail lamps, black bodyside rocker, black wheels and black chrome LED fog lamps. For the Limited and Platinum grades for hybrid and gas, the 2019 Highlander comes standard with chrome LED fog lamps. more Toyota Dependability Toyota’s quality, dependability, reliability and value seal the deal for Highlander customers, who also buy for the sleek and strong design. The front grille on LE, LE Plus and XLE grades features a silver-painted finish, while Limited and Platinum grades have a painted chrome finish. LED taillights help raise visibility in all light. The Highlander Gas and Hybrid models come standard with the advanced Toyota Safety Sense P (TSS-P) driver-assist technology. Using millimeter-wave radar and a monocular camera sensor to help detect a preceding pedestrian or a preceding vehicle, TSS-P can help the driver identify a pedestrian or vehicle and may automatically apply braking, if necessary, to help mitigate or avoid frontal collisions in certain conditions. TSS-P includes the Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection (PCS w/ PD) function; Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist (LDA w/ SA) function; Dynamic Radar Cruise Control (DRCC) and Automatic High Beams (AHB). Even More Safety Features High-tech safety abounds in Highlander, especially regarding visibility. All models come equipped with a standard backup camera. On the LE+ grade and above, standard Blind Spot Monitor with Rear Cross Traffic Alert (BSM w/ RCTA) helps alert drivers to unseen hazards. Blind Spot Monitor uses radar and is designed to detect vehicles in the adjacent lane where drivers may be challenged to see them. When an object is detected, the Blind Spot Monitor indicators flash in the appropriate outside mirror, and a signal also appears on the TFT color multi-information display. The radar also provides Rear Cross Traffic Alert that is designed to detect low-speed cross traffic behind the vehicle when in reverse. The Highlander Limited Platinum grade takes visibility and safety to new heights with standard Bird’s Eye View Camera with Perimeter Scan, which displays live, rotating 360-degree views around the vehicle when parked. Family Power The Highlander offers great performance thanks to the 3.5-liter D-4S Injection V6. Coupled with the Direct Shift –8-speed automatic transmission, the powerful engine also has better EPA fuel economy estimates for all-wheel drive models: EPA-estimated 19 mpg city/26 mpg highway. Another contributor to fuel economy, Stop and Start Engine System (S&S), is used on all Highlander V6 gas models (excluding LE). At a complete stop, the engine shuts off and then instantly and smoothly restarts when the driver’s foot lifts from the brake pedal. Room for … More Room. The 2019 Highlander is just a few inches longer than a midsize sedan yet offers three-row seating. A one-step second-row sliding seat function on both driver and passenger sides makes entering the third-row easy. Third-row passengers get a standard recline function (not to be used while vehicle is in motion). Even with all seat rows in use, there’s still 13.8 cu. ft. of carrying space behind the third row. Folding the 60/40 split fold-flat third-row seatbacks expands the space to 38.1 cu. ft., and then to 73.3 cu. ft. with the 60/40 split fold-flat second row also lowered. Should the driver or co-pilot need to convey any special instructions to third-row passengers, shouting is not necessary in the Toyota Highlander. The XLE grades and above come standard with Driver Easy Speak, which amplifies and broadcasts the driver’s voice through the audio system’s rear speakers. A Soft, Quiet Place A super-tight body structure, combined with finely tuned MacPherson strut front suspension and a multi-link rear suspension, endow the Highlander with an exceptionally smooth ride. Sound-control features include hydraulic engine mounts, acoustic-type windshield glass, a dash silencer and extensive body sealing. Upholstery choices begin at the LE’s premium fabric level and progresses into the available SofTex® synthetic trim, then to available smooth or perforated leather-trim. The LE Plus grade and above feature contrast stitching on all seats and, on the Limited, wood-grain pattern trim on the dash and doors add elegance. Limited grades feature a unique wood accent. A soft-touch instrument panel and silver-painted, satin, and chrome-plated accents, underscore the Highlander’s premium feel. A cabin highlight is the roll-top center console that provides a big, comfortable armrest for the driver and front passenger. Its inner storage box is roomy enough to hold a very large handbag. An LCD Multi-Information Display (MID) within the gauge cluster puts vital information in the driver’s line of sight. The LE and LE Plus grades feature a 4.2-inch color screen displaying odometer, current/average fuel economy, cruising range, and an ECO driving indicator. All other grades get a 4.2-inch color LCD MID providing: odometer, current/average fuel economy, cruising range, average speed, AWD torque distribution (AWD gas models only), cruise control guide, navigation with turn-by-turn directions, audio status, hands-free incoming call notices, telephone information and ECO driving indicator and energy monitor on the Hybrid models. Dynamic Torque Control All-Wheel Drive (AWD) All-wheel drive availability is a given with SUVs, and the V6 Highlander offers an exemplary system. Dynamic Torque Control AWD is a sophisticated driving partner that helps the vehicle through all sorts of slippery situations. Taking input from various sensors (vehicle speed, steering speed and angle, throttle angle and yaw rate), Dynamic Torque Control AWD actively governs torque distribution to the rear wheels via an electromagnetically controlled coupling in the rear differential. The system automatically shifts to AWD when the steering wheel is turned and when accelerating to help prevent wheel slippage, or when sensors detect wheel slippage in other situations, and can vary front-to-rear torque distribution from 100:0 to 50:50. Under normal cruising conditions, the system remains in front-wheel drive to reduce fuel consumption. An AWD LOCK switch holds the 50:50 torque split for certain low-speed driving situations in challenging driving conditions up to 25 MPH. The multi-information display conveys torque-distribution information. A sophisticated, high-speed interactive management system coordinates control of the AWD, Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) and Electric Power Steering systems to help enhance performance, handling and safety. The Sporty SE Grade Within the Toyota family, “SE” signifies a model with an added dash of sportiness in the styling and handling. The Highlander SE looks the part with dark paint treatment for the front grille, headlamp housings and roof rails, along with unique 19-inch wheels. The SE treatment gives Highlander more than just an athletic look. Specially tuned front and rear suspension tightens handling agility, giving it more athletic driving manners, too. Inside, unique black leather-trimmed seats feature striking red stitching and pattern inserts, plus matching dark dash and door accents. The SE comes as a V6-powered model in FWD or AWD in the seven-seat configuration. Highlander Hybrid: Higher Power, Higher Fuel Efficiency The Highlander Hybrid comes in a choice of LE, XLE and Limited Grades. Its Hybrid Synergy Drive system also uses the direct-injection 3.5-liter V6 gasoline engine, combined here with a high-torque electric drive motor-generator to produce 306 net horsepower. Or you could also say 306 net horsepower? The Hybrid is the most fuel-efficient Highlander too, with EPA-estimated 29 mpg city/27 mpg highway/28 mpg combined fuel economy ratings. All Highlander Hybrid models come equipped with Electronic On-Demand All-Wheel-Drive System with intelligence (AWD-i) as standard. AWD-i employs a second, independent electric motor to drive the rear wheels when needed to help maintain optimal traction. Toyota Value in Every Grade Traditional Toyota value permeates the Highlander family, progressing to outright luxury in the top models. Here’s the rundown: • The LE and LE Plus grades are well-equipped “mono-spec” grades, with no option packages offered. The standard equipment rosters are quite extensive, with the LE featuring: • 18-inch alloy wheels • Entune Audio featuring a 6.1-inch touchscreen • Bluetooth® phone and music streaming • Integrated backup camera • Seating for eight with second- and third-row 60/40 split fold-flat seats • Heated side mirrors with turn signal indicators • Windshield wiper de-icer • Tow Package on V6 models • Five USB ports for charging electronic devices • The “Plus” for the LE Plus grade adds: • Fabric and SofTex®-trimmed seats • Fog lights • Height-adjustable power rear liftgate with flip-up rear hatch window • 8-way power driver seat with lumbar support • Entune Audio Plus with SiriusXM® Satellite Radio and HD Radio™ with an 8-inch display monitor • Three-zone automatic climate control • Leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob • The XLE really turns up the comfort: • Leather-trimmed seats • Heated front seats • Smart Key System with push button start • Power tilt-slide moonroof • Driver Easy Speak, which projects the driver’s voice to rear seat passengers though the audio speakers • Second-row integrated sun shades • Chromtec® roof rails • 4.2-inch color multi-information display • Anti-theft system • Homelink® (integrated garage door opener) • Auto dimming rear view mirror • Entune Premium Audio with Integrated Navigation and App Suite • The SE is the sporty one and adds to or replaces XLE standard features such as: • Dark Paint treatment on the front grille, headlamp housings, and roof rails • 19-in. split multi-spoke machined-face alloy wheels with black finish and black center caps • Black leather–trimmed seats with silver stitching and pattern seat inserts • Black in-dash shelf tray color with matching dash/door technical pattern inserts • Sport tuned front and rear suspension (coil springs and shocks) • A Blu-ray DVD rear-seat entertainment system is available for the XLE and SE. Utility+Luxury with the Highlander Limited The Highlander Limited looks the part with a painted chrome grille finish and 19-inch Chromtec® alloy wheels. Blue LED ambient lighting around the dash and doors casts an elegant, high-tech glow, and numerous amenities raise the comfort quotient considerably. Seating for seven includes second-row captain’s chairs, perforated leather-trimmed seats, heated and ventilated front seats, a 4-way power passenger seat, and memory settings for the driver seat and side mirrors. Added safety features include rear parking assist sonar, while entertainment is upgraded with Entune Premium JBL® Audio with Integrated Navigation and App Suite. Adding the Platinum Package takes Highlander to the next level, with Bird’s Eye View Camera with Perimeter Scan, a panoramic moonroof, heated steering wheel, heated second-row captain’s chairs, or outboard chairs in the optional bench seat, rain-sensing windshield wipers, dark chrome finish to the Chromtec® wheels, puddle lamps that feature a Highlander Projection, and more. Limited and Limited Platinum grades offer the choice between eight-passenger configuration with a bench-style middle row seat or seven-passenger with middle-row captain’s chairs. The Limited Platinum also offers a lavish brown leather interior trim. Limited Warranty and Toyota Care Toyota’s 36-month/36,000 mile basic new-vehicle warranty applies to all components other than normal wear and maintenance items. Additional 60-month warranties cover the powertrain for 60,000 miles and against corrosion with no mileage limitation. The hybrid-related components, including the HV battery, battery control module, hybrid control module and inverter with converter, are covered for eight years/100,000 miles. All 2019 Highlander and Highlander Hybrid models come standard with ToyotaCare, a complimentary plan covering normal factory-scheduled maintenance and 24-hour roadside assistance for two years or 25,000 miles, whichever comes first.
