WARNING
■Maintenance of the tires
Each tire, including the spare (if provided), should be checked monthly when cold and 
inflated to the inflation pressure recommended  by the vehicle manufacturer on the vehi-
cle placard or tire inflation pr essure label (tire and load info rmation label). (If your vehicle 
has tires of a different size th an the size indicated on the vehicle placard or tire inflation 
pressure label [tire and load  information label], you should  determine the proper tire 
inflation pressure for those tires.)
As an added safety feature, your vehicle has  been equipped with a tire pressure monitor-
ing system (TPMS-tire pressure  warning system) that illuminates a low tire pressure tell-
tale (tire pressure warning light) when one or  more of your tires is significantly under-
inflated. Accordingly, when the low tire pressu re telltale (tire pressure warning light) illu-
minates, you should stop and check your tires as soon as possible, and inflate them to the 
proper pressure. Driving on a si gnificantly under-inflated tire causes the tire to overheat 
and can lead to tire failure. Under-inflation al so reduces fuel efficiency and tire tread life, 
and may affect the vehicle’s handling and stopping ability.
Please note that the TPMS (tire pressure warning system) is not a substitute for proper 
tire maintenance, and it is the driver’s respon sibility to maintain correct tire pressure, even 
if under-inflation has not reac hed the level to trigger illumina tion of the TPMS low tire 
pressure telltale (tire  pressure warning light).
Your vehicle has also been equipped with  a TPMS (tire pressure warning system) mal-
function indicator to indicate when the system is not operating properly. The TPMS (tire 
pressure warning system) malfunction indicator is combined with the low tire pressure 
telltale (tire pressure warning  light). When the system detect s a malfunction, the telltale 
will flash for approximately one minute and th en remain continuously illuminated. This 
sequence will continue upon subsequent vehi cle start-ups as long as the malfunction 
exists. When the malfunction in dicator is illuminated, the system may not be able to 
detect or signal low tire  pressure as intended.
TPMS (tire pressure warning  system) malfunctions may occur for a variety of reasons, 
including the installation of re placement or alternate tires or wheels on the vehicle that 
prevent the TPMS (tire pressure warning sy stem) from functioning properly. Always 
check the TPMS (tire pressure warning system ) malfunction telltale after replacing one or 
more tires or wheels on your vehicle to ensu re that the replacement or alternate tires and 
wheels allow the TPMS (tire pr essure warning system) to cont inue to function properly.
NOTICE
■To ensure the tire pressure warning system operates properly
Do not install tires with differ ent specifications or makers, as the tire pressure warning 
system may not operate properly.

3507-2. Steps to take in an emergency
Take your vehicle to the nearest Lexus 
dealer or authorized tire dealer as 
soon as possible if any tire goes flat.
The vehicle can be driven for a maximum 
of 100 miles (160 km) at a speed below 50 
mph (80 km/h) after the tire pressure 
warning light comes on. ( P.340)
A run-flat tire has a   mark on the 
sidewall.
■In some condition (such as at high tem-
peratures)
You cannot continue driving for up to 100 
miles (160 km).
■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.

NOTICE
■When replacing the tires
When removing or fitting the wheels, 
tires or the tire pr essure warning valve 
and transmitter, contact your Lexus 
dealer as the tire pressure warning valve 
and transmitter may  be damaged if not 
handled correctly.
■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 your Lexus 
dealer or other qualified service shop as 
soon as possible. Make sure to replace 
the tire pressure warning valve and trans-
mitter when replacing the tire. ( P.305)

turning the engine switch 
8 Once the vehicle’s engine 
jumper cables in the exact reverse 
order from which they were con-
nected.
9 Close the exclusive jump starting 
terminal cover, and reinstall the fuse 
box cover to tits original position.
Once the engine 
have the vehicle inspected at your Lexus 
dealer as soon as possible.
■Starting the engine 
when the 12-volt battery is discharged
The engine 
started by push-starting.
■To prevent 12-volt battery discharge
●Turn off the headlights and the audio sys-
tem while the engine 
stopped.
●Turn off any unnecessary electrical com-
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 your Lexus 
dealer.
●Some systems may require initialization. 
(  P.403)
■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 your Lexus 
dealer.
■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 access 
system with push-button start when the 
12-volt battery is discharged. Use the 
wireless remote control or the mechani-
cal key to lock or unlock the doors.
●The engine 
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 
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 
If you are unsure wh at mode the engine 
switch 
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 re ar wheels will be 
locked. ( P.330)
■When replacing the 12-volt battery
●Use a Central Degassing type 12-volt 
battery (European Regulations).
●Type A*1: 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.  

3627-2. Steps to take in an emergency
Type B*2: 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 
●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.)

WARNING
■When removing the 12-volt battery 
terminals
Always remove the negative (-) terminal 
first. If the positive (+) terminal contacts 
any metal in the surrounding area when 
the positive (+) terminal is removed, a 
spark may occur, leading to a fire in addi-
tion to electrical shocks and death or 
serious injury.
■Avoiding 12-volt battery fires or 
explosions
Observe the following precautions to 
prevent accidentally igniting the flamma-
ble gas that may be emitted from the 12-
volt battery:
●Make sure each jumper cable is con-
nected to the correct terminal and that 
it is not unintentionally in contact with 
any other than the intended terminal.
●Do not allow the other end of the 
jumper cable connected to the “+” ter-
minal to come into contact with any 
other parts or meta l surfaces in the 
area, such as brackets or unpainted 
metal.
●Do not allow the + and - clamps of the 
jumper cables to come into contact 
with each other.
●Do not smoke, use matches, cigarette 
lighters or allow open flame near the 
12-volt battery.
●If the 12-volt battery  fluid level is exces-
sively low ( P.301), do not use the 12-
volt battery.
