changing position of the antenna, differences in signal strength and surrounding 
objects, such as trains, transmitters, etc.
●The radio antenna is mounted inside the  rear window. To maintain clear radio 
reception, do not attach metallic window  tinting or other metallic objects to the 
antenna wire mounted inside the rear window.
■XM® satellite radio
The optional Lexus genuine satellite radio tuner and antenna allows you to receive 
and pla
 y XM® satellite radio broadcasts. (Subscri ption is required. Not available in

■Engine oil consumption
●The amount of engine oil consumed depends on the oil viscosity, the quality of 
the oil and the way the vehicle is driven.
●More oil is consumed under driving conditions such as high speeds and fre -
quent acceleration and deceleration.
●A new engine consumes more oil.
●When judging the amount of oil consumpt ion, keep in mind that the oil may 
have become diluted, making it difficult to judge the true level accurately.
●Oil consumption: Max. 1.1 qt./600 miles, 0.9 lmp.qt./600 miles (1.0 L per 1000 
km). If the vehicle consumes more than this amount, contact your Lexus dealer.
■Resetting the engine oil main tenance data (U.S.A. only)
Perform the following steps: Press the “DISP” switch ( P.  1 1 8 ) to change the multi-information display 
to blank.
Turn the power switch to “OFF” mode.
Turn the power switch to “IG-ON” mode  with the t

Maintenance and care
■If you push the tire pressure reset switch accidentally
If initialization is performed, adjust the tire inflation pressure to the specified level 
and initialize the system again. 
■When the initialization of the tire 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 tire pressure warnin g reset switch, the warning light does 
not flash and the setting message does not appear on the multi-information dis-
play. 
●After driving for a certain period of time since the initialization has been com-
pleted, the warning light flashes.
■Routine tire inflation pressure checks
The tire 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.
