vals, repeatedly, until the HomeLink ®

indicator light changes from slowly
flashing (orange) to rapidly flashing
(green) (rolling code ) or continuously
lit (green) (fixed code).
4 Test the HomeLink ®
operation by
pressing the newly programmed
button and observing the indicator
light:
 Indicator light illuminates: Program-
ming of a fixed code device has
completed. The garage door or
other device should operate when a
HomeLink ®
button is pressed and
released.
 Indicator light flashes rapidly: The
garage door opener motor or other
device is equipped with a rolling
code. To complete programming,
firmly press and hold the Home-
Link ®
button for 2 seconds then
release it.
 If the garage door or other device
does not operate, proceed to “Pro-
gramming a rolling code system”.
5 Repeat the steps above to program
another device for any of the
remaining HomeLink ®
buttons.■
Programming a rolling code sys-
tem
2 or more people may be necessary to
complete rolling code programming.
1 Locate the “Learn” or “Smart” but-
ton on the garage door opener
motor in the garage.
This button can usuall y be found where the hanging antenna wire is attached to the
unit. The name and color of the button may
vary by manufacturer. Refer to the owner’s
manual supplied with the garage door
opener motor for details.

 The tire pressure detected by the
tire pressure warning system can be
displayed on the multi-information
display. (  P.80)
 If the tire pressure drops below a
predetermined level, the driver is
warned by a screen display and a
warning light. (  P.419)
■
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.
■
Tire inflation pressure
●
It may take a few minutes to display the
tire inflation pressure after the engine
switch is turned to IGNITION ON mode.
It may also take a few minutes to display
the tire inflation pres sure after inflation
pressure has been adjusted.
●
Tire inflation pressu re changes with tem-
perature. The displayed values may also be different from the values measured
using a tire pressure gauge. ■
Situations in which the tire pressure
warning system may not operate prop-
erly ●
In the following cases, the tire pressure
warning system may not operate prop-
erly.
• If non-genuine Lexus wheels are used.
• If a tire has been replaced with a tire that
is not an OE (Original Equipment) tire.
• If a tire has been replaced with a tire that
is not of the specified size.
• If tire chains, etc. are installed.
• An auxiliary-supported run-flat tire is
equipped.
• If a window tint that affects the radio wave
signals is installed.
• If there is a lot of snow or ice on the vehi-
cle, particularly around the wheels or
wheel housings.
• If the tire inflation pressure is much higher
than the specified level.
• If wheels not equipped with tire pressure
warning valves and transmitter are used.
• If the ID code on the tire pressure warn-
ing valves and transmitters is not regis-
tered in the tire pressure warning
computer. ●
Performance may be af fected in the fol-
lowing situations.
• When driving near a TV tower, electric
power plant, gas stat ion, radio station,
large display, airport or other facility that
generates strong radi o waves or electri-
cal noise
• When carrying a portable radio, cellular
phone, cordless phone or other wireless
communication device
If tire position information is not correctly
displayed due to the radio wave conditions,
the display may be corrected by changing
the location of the vehicle as the radio wave
conditions may change.
●
When the vehicle is stopped, the time
taken for the warning to start or turn off
may be longer.
●
When the inflation pressure of a tire
drops rapidly, for example when a tire has
burst, the warning may not operate.

LS500_OM_(U)_1810 ■
The tire pressure warning system
must be initialized in the following
circumstances:
 When the tire inflation pressure is
changed such as when changing
traveling speed or load weight.
 When the tire inflation pressure is
changed such as when the tire size
is changed.
 When rotating the tires.
 After performing the transmitter ID
code registration procedure.
(  P.389)
When the tire pressure warning system
is initialized, the cu rrent tire inflation
pressure is set as the benchmark pres-
sure. ■
How to initialize the tire pressure
warning system
1 Park the vehicle in a safe place, turn
the engine switch off and wait 20
minutes or more.The initialization procedure cannot be
started while the vehicle is moving.
2 Adjust the tire inflation pressure to
the specified cold tire inflation pres-
sure level.Make sure to adjust th e tire pressure to the
specified cold tire infl ation pressure level.
The tire pressure warning system will oper-
ate based on this pressure level.
3 Start the engine.
4 Press or of the meter con-
trol switch to select . 5 Press or to select “Vehicle
Settings” and then press .
6 Press or to select “TPWS”
and then press .
7 Press or to select “Set
Pressure”. Then press and hold
until the tire pressure warning light
blinks 3 times. Then a message will be displayed on the
multi-information display.
“---” will be displayed on the multi-informa-
tion display for the inflation pressure of
each tire while initialization is being per-
formed.
8 Drive straight (with occasional left
and right turns) at approximately
25 mph (40 km/h) or more for
approximately 10 to 30 minutes. Initialization is comple te when the position
of each tire is determ ined and the inflation
pressure of each tire is displayed on the
multi-information display.
Initialization may take longer than normal
to complete if the vehicle speed cannot be
maintained at approx imately 25 mph (40
km/h) or more. If initialization cannot be
completed after driving for 1 hour or more,
park the vehicle in a safe place, turn the
engine switch off and wait 20 minutes or
more before performing the driving proce-
dure again. (  P.389)Initializing the tire pressure

sure of each tire on the multi-information
display.
6 Drive straight (with occasional left
and right turns) at approximately
25 mph (40 km/h) or more for
approximately 10 to 30 minutes.Registration is complete when the tire
pressure warning light turns off and the
inflation pressure of each tire is displayed
on the multi-information display.
Registration may take longer than normal
to complete if the vehicle speed cannot be
maintained at approximately 25 mph (40
km/h) or more. If registration cannot be
completed after driving for 1 hour or more, perform the registrati on procedure again
from the beginning. (  P.390)
After registering the ID codes, make sure
to initialize the tire pressure warning sys-
tem. (  P.388)■
When registering ID codes ●
Before performing ID code registration,
make sure that no wheels with tire pres-
sure warning valve and transmitters
installed are near the vehicle. ●
Make sure to initializ e the tire pressure
warning system after registering the ID
codes. If the system is initialized before
registering the ID codes, the initialized
values will be invalid. ●
As the tires will be warm when registra-
tion is completed, ma ke sure to allow the
tires to cool before performing initializa-
tion. ■
Canceling ID code registration ●
To cancel ID code regi stration after it has
been started, turn the engine switch off
before driving the vehicle.
If the vehicle is driven after ID code regis-
tration is started, to cancel registration,
perform the ID code registration start
procedure again and turn the engine
switch off before driving. ●
If ID code registration has been canceled,
the tire pressure warning light will blink
for approximately 1 minute when the
engine switch is tu rned to IGNITION
ON mode and then illuminate. The tire
pressure warning system will be opera-
tional when the tire pressure warning
light turns off.
●
If the warning light does not turn off even
after several minutes have elapsed, ID
code registration may not have been can-
celled correctly. To cancel registration,
perform the ID code registration start
procedure again and then turn the engine
switch off before driving.
■
If ID codes are not registered properly
●
In the following situations, ID code regis-
tration may take longer than usual to be
completed or may not be possible. (Usu-
ally, the vehicle will need to be driven for
