Two separate sets of ID codes can be registered for each vehicle. This
allows 2 separate sets of settings to be conveniently recorded for all
season and winter tires.
MAIN: The MAIN ID code is used fo r the factory installed tire pres-
sure sensors.
2nd: The 2nd ID code is used for tire inflation pressure sensors associ-
ated with a secondary set of tires.
Make sure to have all tire inflation pressure warning system ID codes regis-
tered by your Lexus dealer. ID codes must be reset when tires or wheels are
replaced.

■When to replace your vehicle’s tires
Tires should be replaced if:
●You have tire damage such as cuts, splits, cracks deep enough to expose the
fabric or bulges indicating internal damage
●A tire goes flat repeatedly or cannot be properly repaired due to the size or
location of a cut or other damage
If you are not sure, consult with your Lexus dealer.
■Tire life
Any tire over 6 years old must be checked by a qualified technician even if they
have seldom or never been used or damage is not obvious.
■If the tread wears down below 0.16 in. (4 mm) on snow tires
The effectiveness of snow tires is lost.
■Low profile tires (vehicles not equipped with 205/55R16 tires)
Generally, low profile tires will wear more rapidly and tire grip performance will be
reduced on snowy and/or icy roads when co mpared to standard tires. Be sure to
use snow tires or tire chains
* on snowy and/or icy roads and drive carefully at a
speed appropriate for road and weather conditions.
*: Tire chains cannot be mounted on 18-inch tires.

Maintenance and care
■When the initialization of the tire inflation pressure warning system has failed
Initialization can be completed in a few minutes. However, in the following cases,
the settings have not been recorded and the system will not operate properly. If
repeated attempts to record tire inflation pressure settings are unsuccessful, have
the vehicle inspected by your Lexus dealer.
●When operating the satellite switch, the warning light does not flash and the set-
ting message does not appear on the multi-information display. (The tires can-
not be initialized while the vehicle is running.)
●After driving for approximately 20 mi nutes since the initialization has been
completed, the warning light flashes.
■Routine tire inflation pressure checks
The tire inflation pressure warning system does not replace routine tire inflation
pressure checks. Make sure to check tire inflation pressure as part of your routine
of daily vehicle checks.
