I noticed on a website that the highlander's 3.5" inch screen displaying individual tire pressures including the spare. I own a navigation model. Can someone walk me thru the steps to display this information on the screen?
My 2010 with nav doesnt have it either. I believe it displays that information when there is a problem with the pressure level. So we still have that but cannot display the info manually if we want to.
I think the 2011 Hybrids have this feature. I was looking for the same thing when I first got mine and couldn't find anything except that a warning light will come on when tire pressure is low. I believe it's the same warning light that's displayed when you open the door with the car running. I'm assuming to get the feature where you can see the actual tire pressure displayed is something the dealer needs to do with their computer. My next trip to the dealer I will inquire about this if it hasn't already been solved by then.

Good luck.
This has been a bitch since 2008 (one of many). The Hybrid gets it and other models don't. The 2008 Hybrids didn't have a reset button for the TPMS system the other models do.
The other bitch has been Toyota markets the HL with a tow capacity greater than 3,000 lb but refuses to provide a tow package with a 7 wire plug to meet US requirements to support trailer brakes for anything towed that exceeds 3,000lb.

I have not seen this screen on my 2011 HL LTD. Can a dealer tech see this, can we have it programmed so the owner/user of the vehicle sees this?
I think it was unfortunate the LTD came with the tps sensors but no way to have readings displayed. Makes no sense to me.
On my 2012 Hihy Limited, I do see that screen. It is toggled through with the "DISP" button on the steering wheel controls. It appears on the upper small screen. It is one of about 10 information screens.
on the link given above the pics are not of a hybrid HL.....i would really like to know if some who has a non hybrid has this feature and if you do post a pic...because it would be nice to have and i dont want to make an unnecessary trip to the dealer if we cant have it.

The picture is a hybrid display. The caption is wrong.

So, just to confirm, only Hybrids get this feature? That really sucks. It's nice because at least you can tell if it's a dramatic loss of pressure (hit a nail or something on the highway and should pull over) or if it's just a slow leak.
Yup, my 2012 Limited does not toggle through this. No big deal to me. I remember the days when you had to notice a low tire......... so a low tire warning is good enough for me. Would be a nice feature though, since they already do it a the Hybrid.
