■Conditions that the tire pressure warning system may not function properly
 P.330
■If the tire pressure warning light frequently comes on after blinking for 1 minute
If the tire pressure warning lig ht 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 retailer or Lexus authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
■Warning buzzer
In some cases, the buzzer may not be heard due to being in a noisy location or audio sound.
WARNING
■If both the ABS and the brake system warning lights remain on
Stop your vehicle in a safe place immediately and contact any authorized Lexus retailer
or Lexus authorized repairer, or any reliabl e repairer. The vehicle will become extremely unstable during braking, and the ABS system may fail, which could cause an accident resulting in death or serious injury.
■When the electric power steering system warning light comes on
When the light comes on yellow, the assist to the power steering is restricted. When the
light comes on red, the assist to the power st eering is lost and handling operations of the steering wheel become extremely heavy. When steering wheel operations are heavier than usual, grip the steering wheel firmly and operate it using more force than usual.
■If the tire pressure warning light comes on
Be sure to observe the following precautions. Failure to do so could cause a loss of vehi-
cle control and result in death or serious injury.
●Decelerate to the lowest appropriate speed as soon as possible. Do not drive over 80 km/h (50 mph).
●Check and adjust the tire inflation pressure immediately.
●If the tire pressure warning light comes on ev en after tire inflation pressure adjustment, it is probable that you have a flat tire. Have the flat tire replaced by nearest authorized
Lexus retailer or Lexus authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
●Avoid abrupt maneuvering and braking. If the vehicle tires deteriorate, you could lose control of the steering wheel or the brakes.
■If a blowout or sudden air leakage should occur
The tire pressure warning system may not activate immediately.

Power was turned off due to the automatic power off function. Next time when starting the hybrid system, operate the hybrid system for approximately 5 minutes to recharge the 12-volt battery.
■If a message that indicates the need for the shift lever operation is shown
To prevent the shift lever from being operated incorrectly or the vehicle from moving unex- pectedly, a message that requires shifting the shift lever may be shown on the multi-informa-
tion display. In that case, follow the instru ction of the message and shift the shift lever.

7-2. Steps to take in an emergency
Take your vehicle to the nearest autho-
rized Lexus retailer or Lexus autho-
rized repairer, or any reliable repairer,
or authorized tire dealer as soon as
possible if any tire goes flat.
The vehicle can be driven for a maximum
of 160 km (100 miles) at a speed below 80
km/h (50 mph) after the tire pressure
warning light comes on. ( P.374)
A run-flat tire has a mark on the
side wall.
■In some condition (such as at high tem-
peratures)
You cannot continue driving for up to 160 km (100 miles).
■For the detailed information on run-flat tires
See the tire warranty booklet.
If you have a flat tire
Your vehicle is not equipped with a
spare tire, but instead you can con-
tinue driving the vehicle with run-
flat tires even if any tire goes flat.
In this case, slow down and drive
with extra caution.
Run-flat tires
NOTICE
■When replacing the tires
When removing or fitting the wheels, tires or the tire pressure warning valve and transmitter, contact any authorized
Lexus retailer or Lexus authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer as the tire pressure warning valve and transmit-
ter may be damaged if not handled cor- rectly.
■When driving over bumps
If a vehicle has a flat tire, the vehicle height will be lower than usual. Ensure
that nothing strikes the bottom of the vehicle.
■To avoid damaging the tire pressure warning valves and transmitters
When a tire is repaired with liquid seal-
ants, the tire pressure warning valve and transmitter may not operate properly. If a liquid sealant is used, contact any autho-
rized Lexus retailer or Lexus authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer or other qualified service shop as soon as possi-
ble. Make sure to replace the tire pres- sure warning valve and transmitter when replacing the tire. ( P.335)

7-2. Steps to take in an emergency
ponents when the vehicle is running at a low speed for an extended period, such as in heavy traffic.
■When the 12-volt battery is removed or
discharged
●Information stored in the ECU is cleared.
When the 12-volt battery is depleted, have the vehicle inspected at any autho-rized Lexus retailer or Lexus authorized
repairer.
●Some systems may require initialization.
( P.436)
■When removing the 12-volt battery ter- minals
When the 12-volt battery terminals are removed, the information stored in the ECU is cleared. Before removing the 12-
volt battery terminals, contact any autho- rized Lexus retailer or Lexus authorized repairer.
■Charging the 12-volt battery
The electricity stored in the 12-volt battery will discharge gradually even when the
vehicle is not in use, due to natural dis- charge and the draining effects of certain
electrical appliances. If the vehicle is left for a long time, the 12-volt battery may dis-charge, and the engine
may be unable to start. (The 12-volt battery recharges automatically during driving.)
■When recharging or replacing the 12-volt battery
●In some cases, it may not be possible to unlock the doors using the smart entry &
start system when the 12-volt battery is discharged. Use the wireless remote control or the mechanical key to lock or
unlock the doors.
●The engine may not start
on the first attempt after the 12-volt bat- tery has recharged but will start normally after the second attempt. This is not a
malfunction.
●The engine switch mode
is memorized by the vehicle. When the 12-volt battery is reconnected, the system will return to the mode it was in before
the 12-volt battery was discharged.
Before disconnecting the 12-volt battery, turn the engine switch off. If you are unsure what mode the engine
switch was in before the 12-volt battery discharged, be especially careful when reconnecting the 12-volt
battery.
●If the 12-volt battery discharges, it may
not be possible to shift the shift position to other positions. In this case, the vehicle cannot be towed without lifting both rear
wheels because the rear wheels will be locked. ( P.363)
■When replacing the 12-volt battery
●Use a Central Degassing type 12-volt battery (European Regulations).
●LC500: Use a 12-volt battery that the case size is same as the previous one (LN4), 20 hour rate capacity (20HR) is
equivalent (80Ah) or greater, and per- formance rating (CCA) is equivalent (685A) or greater.
LC500h: Use a 12-volt battery that the case size is same as the previous one (LN3), 20 hour rate capacity (20HR) is
equivalent (70Ah) or greater, and perfor- mance rating (CCA) is equivalent
(600A) or greater. • If the sizes differ, the 12-volt battery can-not be properly secured.
• If the 20 hour rate capacity is low, even if the time period where the vehicle is not used is a short time, the 12-volt battery
may discharge and engine may not be able to start.
●Use a 12-volt battery with a handle. If a 12-volt battery without a handle is used, removal is more difficult.
●After exchanging, firmly attach the fol-lowing items to the exhaust hole of the 12-
volt battery. • Use the exhaust hose that was attached to the 12-volt battery before exchanging.
• Use the exhaust hole plug included with the 12-volt battery exchanged or the one installed on the battery prior to the
exchange. (Depending on the 12-volt battery to be exchanged, the exhaust hole may be plugged.)

rounding area is clear to avoid striking other vehicles, objects or people. The vehicle may also lunge forward or lunge
back suddenly as it becomes free. Use extreme caution.
■When shifting the shift position
Be careful not to shift the shift position with the accelerator pedal depressed.
This may lead to unexpected rapid accel- eration of the vehicle that may cause an accident resulting in death or serious
injury.
