GS350/250_EE (OM30C36E)
CAUTION
Proper inflation is critical to save tire performance
Keep your tires properly inflated. Otherwise, the following conditions may
occur and result in an accident causing death or serious injury:
Excessive wear
Uneven wear
Poor handling
Possibility of blowouts resulting from overheated tires
Poor sealing of the tire bead
Wheel deformation and/or tire separation
A greater possibility of tire damage from road hazards
NOTICE
When inspecting and adjusting tire inflation pressure
Be sure to put the tire valve caps back on.
Without the valve caps, dirt or moisture could get into the valve and cause
air leakage, which could result in an accident. If the caps are lost, replace
them as soon as possible.

6946-3. Do-it-yourself maintenance
GS350/250_EE (OM30C36E)
When replacing wheels (vehicles with the tire pressure warning system)
The wheels of your vehicle are equipped with tire pressure warning valves
and transmitters that allow the tire pressure warning system to provide
advance warning in the event of a loss in tire inflation pressure. Whenever
wheels are replaced, tire pressure warning valves and transmitters must be
installed. (P. 674)
CAUTION
When replacing wheels
Do not use wheels that are a different size from those recommended in the
Owner’s Manual, as this may result in a loss of handling control.
Never use an inner tube in a leaking wheel which is designed for a tube-
less tire. Doing so may result in an accident, causing death or serious
injury.
NOTICE
Replacing tire pressure warning valves and transmitters (vehicles with the
tire pressure warning system)
Because tire repair or replacement may affect the tire pressure warning
valves and transmitters, make sure to have tires serviced by any autho-
rized Lexus dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped pro-
fessional or other qualified service shop. In addition, make sure to
purchase your tire pressure warning valves and transmitters at any autho-
rized Lexus dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped pro-
fessional.
Ensure that only genuine Lexus wheels are used on your vehicle.
Tire pressure warning valves and transmitters may not work properly with
non-genuine wheels.

*1: Open door warning buzzer:
P. 7 6 3
*2: Driver’s and front passenger’s seat belt buzzer:
The driver’s and front passenger’s seat belt buzzer sounds to alert the
driver and front passenger that his or her seat belt is not fastened. The
buzzer sounds intermittently for 30 seconds after the vehicle reaches a
speed of 20 km/h (12 mph). Then, if the seat belt is still unfastened, the
buzzer will sound in a different tone for 90 more seconds.
Tire pressure warning light
When the light comes on:
Low tire inflation pressure
such as
• Natural causes (P.
754)
• Flat tire (P. 783, 798)
Adjust the tire inflation pres-
sure (including the full-size
spare tire) to the specified
level.
The light will turn off after
a few minutes. In case the
light does not turn off even
if the tire inflation pressure
is adjusted, have the sys-
tem checked by any autho-
rized Lexus dealer or
repairer, or another duly
qualified and equipped
professional.
When the light comes on
after blinking for 1 minute:
Malfunction in the tire pres-
sure warning systemHave the system checked by
any authorized Lexus dealer
or repairer, or another duly
qualified and equipped pro-
fessional.

GS350/250_EE (OM30C36E)
Front passenger detection sensor, seat belt reminder and warning buzzer
If luggage is placed on the front passenger seat, the front passenger detec-
tion sensor may cause the warning light to flash and the warning buzzer to
sound even if a passenger is not sitting in the seat.
If a cushion is placed on the seat, the sensor may not detect a passenger, and
the warning light may not operate properly.
If the malfunction indicator lamp comes on while driving
The malfunction indicator lamp will come on if the fuel tank becomes com-
pletely empty. If the fuel tank is empty, refuel the vehicle immediately. The
malfunction indicator lamp will go off after several trips.
If the malfunction indicator lamp does not go off, contact any authorized
Lexus dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional
as soon as possible.
When the tire pressure warning light comes on
Carry out the following procedure after the tire temperature has lowered suf-
ficiently.
Check the tire inflation pressure and adjust to the appropriate level.
If the warning light does not go out even after several minutes, check that
the tire inflation pressure is at the specified level and carry out initialization.
The warning light may come on again if the above operations are conducted
without first allowing the tire temperature to lower sufficiently.
The tire pressure warning light may come on due to natural causes
The tire pressure warning light may come on due to natural causes such as
natural air leaks and tire inflation pressure changes caused by temperature. In
this case, adjusting the tire inflation pressure will turn off the warning light
(after a few minutes).

When a tire is replaced with a spare tire
Vehicles with a compact spare tire: The compact spare tire is not equipped
with a tire pressure warning valve and transmitter. If a tire goes flat, the tire
pressure warning light will not turn off even though the flat tire has been
replaced with the spare tire.
Vehicles with a full-size spare tire: The spare tire is also equipped with a tire
pressure warning valve and transmitter. The tire pressure warning light will
turn on if the tire inflation pressure of the spare tire is low. If a tire goes flat,
the tire pressure warning light will not turn off even though the flat tire has
been replaced with the spare tire.
Conditions that the tire pressure warning system may not function properly
P. 6 7 8
If the tire pressure warning light frequently comes on after blinking for 1 min-
ute
If the tire pressure warning light frequently comes on after blinking for 1
minute when the engine switch is turned to IGNITION ON mode, have it
checked by any authorized Lexus dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified
and equipped professional.
Warning buzzer
In some cases, the buzzer may not be heard because of noisy place or an
audio sound.
