Replacing tires and wheels
When replacing the tires and wheels, be sure to install tire
pressure warning valves and transmitters. ID codes on the tire
pressure warning valves and transmitters are registered on the
tire pressure warning ECU. When replacing a tire pressure
warning valve and transmitter, it is necessar y to register the ID
code of tire pressure warning valve and transmitter. Have the
ID code registered by your Lexus dealer.
If the ID code is not registered, the system will not work
properly. After about 1 hour, the tire pressure warning light
blinks to indicate a system malfunction.
NOTICE
When the tires or tire pressure warning valves and
transmitters must be replaced, have them replaced by
your Lexus dealer. The tire pressure warning valves
and transmitters will be affected by the installation or
removal of tires.
Tire pressure warning reset switch
G31004a
When initializing the system, the present tire inflation pressure
is stored as standard. The tire pressure warning system
determines decreased air pressure by comparing the present
and the standard tire inflation pressures. When you change
the set tire inflation pressure, it is necessary to initialize the tire
pressure warning system.
When rotating the tires on vehicles differing with front and
rear tire inflation pressures.
When changing the tire inflation pressure by changing
traveling speed or load weight, etc.
When changing the tire size.

STARTING AND DRIVING
447
To initialize the system, perform the following:
1. Park
the vehicle in a safe place and select the engine switch
in “OFF” mode.
2. Adjust the pressure of all the installed tires to the specified
cold tire inflation pressure level. (See “Tire and wheels” on
pages 542 and 546.)
3. Select the engine switch in “IG −ON” mode.
4. Push and hold the tire pressure warning reset switch until
the tire pressure warning light blinks slowly three times and the
message “PRESSURE INITIAL” appears on the
multi−information display.
5. Wait for a few minutes with the engine switch in “IG −ON”
mode, and then select the engine switch in “OFF” position.
If you push the tire pressure reset switch while the vehicle is
moving, initialization is not performed.
If you push the tire pressure reset switch accidentally and
initialization is performed, adjust the tire inflation pressure to
the specified level and initialize the system again.
G31007
If the tire pressure warning light does not blink slowly three
times and the message “PRESSURE INITIAL” does not
appear on the multi −information display when you push and
hold the reset switch, initialization has failed and the tire
pressure warning system may not work properly. In this case,
initialize the system again. If initialization cannot be
performed, have the system checked at your Lexus dealer.

CAUTION
Do not push the reset switch without first adjusting the
tire inflation pressure to the specified level. Otherwise,
the tire pressure warning light may not come on even if
the tire inflation pressure is low, or it may come on when
the tire inflation pressure is actually normal.
Tire pressure warning select switch
G31005a
1 Main position 22nd position
2 sets of tire pressure warning valve and transmitter ID codes
can be registered.
Once a second set of tires is registered at “2nd”, you can switch
between tire set settings simply by pressing the tire pressure
warning select switch.
There are 2 settings
“MAIN” position: The ID code of the tire pressure warning valve
and transmitter on the tires originally installed on the vehicle is
registered.
“ 2nd ” position: The code is not registered. When you replace
a new set of tires, purchase tire pressure warning valves and
transmitters from your Lexus dealer and have the new ID code
registered by your Lexus dealer.

If the tire pressure select switch is set to the wrong tire setting,
the system will not work properly. After about 1 hour, the tire
pressure
warning light blinks to indicate a system malfunction.
PRE COLLISION SYSTEM
(Vehicles with dynamic radar cruise control)
When the pre collision system detects what it perceives
to be an unavoidable collision, the front seat belts are
quickly drawn back by the retractors (pre collision seat
belts) and more powerful braking is applied according to
the amount of pedal depression to help reduce injury to
the occupants and damage to the vehicle body. In
addition, the adaptive variable suspension works to help
regulate the vehicle not to pitch forward so much.
The pre−collision system will operate when the engine switch
is selected in “IG −ON” mode.

Adaptive variable suspension control (GS430
only)
When the pre collision sensor detects an object or
vehicle with which your vehicle may collide, and
determines that a collision may be unavoidable, the
adaptive variable suspension adjusts the damping effect
on the shock absorbers and regulates the vehicle not to
pitch forward so much.
The adaptive variable suspension will operate when the
following all conditions are met.
When the vehicle speed is about 5 km/h (3 mph) or over.
When the approaching speed in regard to the object or the
vehicle exceeds about 30 km/h (18 mph).
Pre collision system failure warning
G31079
Pre collision system warning light
The light warns that there is a problem somewhere in the
pre collision system.
The light comes on when the engine switch is selected in
“IG−ON” mode. If the system works properly, the light goes off
after a few seconds.
If the light does not come on when the engine switch is selected
in “IG−ON” mode, have your vehicle checked by your Lexus
dealer.
If the system has a problem, the pre− collision system warning
light comes on or blinks. At this time, the master warning light
comes on, a warning tone sounds, and either of the following
messages appears on the multi−information display.

G13030
The pre collision system warning light blinks, and the
above message appears in the following conditions:
The millimeter wave radar sensor or the grille cover is
dirty.
Clean the grille or sensor with a soft cloth to remove the dirt.
The pre collision seat belts are activated repeatedly for
a short time.
The system turns of f temporarily for overheating protection.
The above conditions do not indicate a malfunction. If the
problem is removed, the warning lights and message go out
and the system returns to normal.
G13031
If the pre−collision system warning light remains on, and the above message appears, the pre −collision system may not
operate. Contact your Lexus dealer as soon as possible to
service the vehicle.
Precaution for pre collision system
It should be noted that the pre −collision sensor may detect the
following as the objects with which your vehicle might collide,
and the pre −collision system may operate, even though there
is no possibility of collision.
When traveling through a curve, there is an object on the
edge of the road.
When traveling through a curve, another vehicle is passing
from the opposite direction.
When traveling across a narrow iron bridge.
When there is a metallic object on the road.
When there is a steel plate on the road at a construction site.
When there is a bump on the road.
When waiting to turn to the left in an intersection, and
another vehicle is passing from the opposite direction.
If your vehicle approaches another vehicle ahead very
quickly.

IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY
474B: If no steam is coming from your engine:
Leave the engine running and turn off the air conditioning.
Check the following.
Is the cooling fan operating?
Is the coolant in the acceptable range?
Is the engine drive belt O.K.?
CAUTION
When the engine is running, keep hands and clothing
away from the moving fan and engine drive belt.
Do not attempt to remove the radiator cap when the
engine and radiator are hot. Serious injury could
result from scalding hot fluid and steam blown out
under pressure.
If the cooling fan is not operating or the coolant is not in the
acceptable range, turn off the engine and call your Lexus
dealer.
If both conditions are O.K., after the engine coolant
temperature has cooled to normal, continue driving your
vehicle.
If the engine coolant temperature does not cool down, or your
vehicle overheats again, have it checked as soon as possible
by your Lexus dealer.
IF YOU HAVE A FLAT TIRE
(Vehicles with run flat tires)
G63004
You may continue driving a vehicle with run flat
tires even if any tire goes flat. It may be able to run
for a maximum of 160 km (100 miles) at a speed
below 90 km/h (55 mph) after the tire pressure
warning light comes on. When you drive your
vehicle after the tire pressure warning light comes
on, the tire must be replaced. Do not use the
repaired tire.
Observe the following precautions and take your vehicle
to the nearest Lexus dealer or authorized tire dealer.
