(m) Low Engine Oil Pressure Warning Light
This light warns that the engine oil pressure is too low.
If it flickers or stays on while you are driving, pull off the road
to a safe place and stop the engine immediately. Call a Lexus
dealer or qualified repair shop for assistance. The light may occasionally flicker when the engine is idling or
it may come on briefly after a hard stop. There is no cause for
concern if it then goes out when the engine is accelerated
slightly.
The light may come on when the oil level is extremely low. It
is not designed to indicate low oil level, and the oil level must
be checked using the oil level dipstick.

(n) Engine Oil Replacement Reminder Light (for vehicles sold in U.S.A.)
This light reminds you when to replace the engine oil.
This light will come on when the ignition key is turned to ONº
and will go off after about a few seconds.
When you drive for about 7200 km (4500 miles) after the
engine oil replacement, this light illuminates for about 3
seconds and then flashes for about 12 seconds with the
ignition key turned to ONº position. If you continue driving
without the engine oil replacement, and if the driving range
exceeds 8000 km (5000 miles), the light will come on after the
ignition key is turned to ONº position. The light will remain on
thereafter.
If the light is flashing, we recommend that you replace the
engine oil at an early opportunity depending on the driving and
road condition. If the light comes on, replace it as soon as
possible.
You need to reset the light after the engine oil replacement.
Reset the light by following the procedure below:
1. Turn the ignition key to the OFFº position with the odometer
reading shown. (For details, see Odometer and trip meterº on
page 50.)
2. Turn the ignition key to the ONº position while holding down
the trip meter reset knob.
Hold down the knob until the light goes off. Before the light
goes off, it illuminates for 3 seconds, flashes for 2 seconds and
illuminates for 1 second. If the system fails to reset, the light will remain flashing. In this
case, return to step 1 and try again.(o) Low Tire Pressure Warning Light
This light warns that the tire pressure of one or more of your
tires
(including the spare tire) is low. The light comes on when
the ignition key is turned to the ONº position. It goes off after
a few seconds. This indicates that the tire pressure warning
system is functioning properly.
If the warning light comes on, stop your vehicle in a safe place
as soon as possible and check that the inflation pressure of all
tires (including the spare tire) is as specified on the tire and
loading information label. (See Checking tire inflation
pressureº on page 483.) The light should go off a few minutes
after the tire pressure is adjusted.
If the warning light blinks, the tire pressure warning system
may be malfunctioning. Contact your Lexus dealer.
For details, see Tire pressure warning systemº on page 369.
(p) Low Fuel Level Warning Light
This light comes on when the fuel level in the tank becomes
very low. Fill the tank as soon as possible.
On inclines or curves, due to the movement of fuel in the tank,
the low fuel level warning light may come on earlier than usual.
