■PCS warning light (warning buzzer)
■Warning buzzer
In some cases, the bu zzer may not be heard 
due to being in a noisy location or audio 
sound.
■Front passenger detection sensor, seat 
belt reminder and warning buzzer
●If luggage is placed on the front passen-
ger seat, the front passenger detection 
sensor may cause th e 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 sen-
sor may not detect a passenger, and the 
warning light may not operate properly.
■SRS warning light
This warning light system monitors the air-
bag sensor assembly, fr ont impact sensors, 
side impact sensors (front door), side 
impact sensors (front),  side impact sensors 
(rear), driver’s seat position sensor, driver’s

senger’s seat belt buc kle switch, seat belt 
pretensioners, airbags, interconnecting wir-
ing and power sources. ( P.30)
■If the malfunction indicator lamp comes 
on while driving
First check the following:
●Is the fuel tank empty?
If it is, fill the fuel tank immediately.
●Is the fuel tank cap loose?
If it is, tighten it securely.
The light will go off  after several driving 
trips.
If the light does not go off even after several 
trips, contact your Lexus dealer as soon as 
possible.
■Electric power steering system warning 
light (warning buzzer)
When the battery charge becomes insuffi-
cient or the voltage temporarily drops, the 
electric power steering system warning 
light may come on and the warning buzzer 
may sound.
■When the tire pressure warning light 
comes on
Inspect the tires to check if a tire is punc-
tured.
If a tire is punctured:  P.370, 377
If none of the tires are punctured:
Turn the engine switch off then turn it to 
ON. Check if the tire  pressure warning light 
comes on or blinks.
Warning lightDetails/Actions
(flashes or illumi- nates)
When a buzzer sounds simultaneously:
Indicates a malfunction has occurred  in the PCS (Pre-Collision System)
 Have the vehicle inspected by your Lexus dealer immediately.
If a buzzer does not sound:
The PCS (Pre-Collision System) has  become temporarily unavailable, 
corrective action may be necessary.
 Follow the instructions displayed on  the multi-information display.

When trouble arises
If the tire pressure warning light blinks for 
approximately 1 minute then stays on
There may be a malfunction in the tire pres-
sure warning system. Have the vehicle 
inspected by your Lexus dealer immedi-
ately.
If the tire pressure warning light comes 
on
1
After the temperature of the tires has 
lowered sufficiently, check the inflation 
pressure of each tire and adjust them to 
the specified level.
2
If the warning light does not turn off 
even after several minutes have 
elapsed, check that the inflation pres-
sure of each tire is at the specified level 
and perform initialization. ( P.333)
■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, adjust-
ing the tire inflation pressure will turn off the 
warning light (after  a few minutes).
■When a tire is replaced with a spare tire
The compact spare tire is not equipped with 
a tire pressure warning valve and transmit-
ter. If a tire goes flat, the tire pressure warn-
ing light will not turn off even though the flat 
tire has been replaced with the spare tire. 
Replace the spare tire with the repaired tire 
and adjust the tire inflation pressure. The 
tire pressure warning lig ht will go off after a 
few minutes.
■Conditions that the  tire pressure warn-
ing system may not function properly
 P.331
WARNING
■If both the ABS and the brake system 
warning lights remain on
Stop your vehicle in a safe place immedi-
ately and contact your Lexus dealer.
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 st eering is restricted. 
When the light comes on red, the assist 
to the power steering 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 (vehicles without run-flat 
tires)
Be sure to observe the following precau-
tions.
Failure to do so could cause a loss of 
vehicle control and result in death or 
serious injury.
●Stop your vehicle in a safe place as 
soon as possible. Check and adjust the 
tire inflation pre ssure immediately.
●If the tire pressure warning light comes 
on even after tire inflation pressure 
adjustment, it is prob able that you have 
a flat tire. Check the tire s. If a tire is flat, 
change it with the spare tire and have 
the flat tire repaired by the nearest 
Lexus dealer.
WARNING
●Avoid abrupt maneuvering and brak-
ing.
If the vehicle tires deteriorate, you 
could lose control of the steering 
wheel or the brakes. 

3667-2. Steps to take in an emergency
■If the tire pressure warning light 
comes on (vehicles with run-flat tires)
Be sure to observe the following precau-
tions.
Failure to do so could cause a loss of 
vehicle control and result in death or 
serious injury.
●Decelerate to the  lowest appropriate 
speed as soon as possible. Do not 
drive over 50 mph (80 km/h).
●Check and adjust the tire inflation 
pressure immediately.
●If the tire pressure  warning light comes 
on even after tire  inflation pressure 
adjustment, it is probable that you have 
a flat tire. Have the flat tire replaced by 
the nearest Lexus dealer.
●Avoid abrupt maneuvering and brak-
ing.
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.
■Maintenance of the tires
Each tire, including the spare (if pro-
vided), should be checked monthly when 
cold and inflated to the inflation pressure 
recommended by the vehicle manufac-
turer on the vehicle placard or tire infla-
tion pressure label (tire and load 
information label). (I f your vehicle has 
tires of a different size than the size indi-
cated on the vehicle placard or tire infla-
tion pressure label [tire and load 
information label], yo u should determine 
the proper tire infl ation pressure for 
those tires.)
As an added safety fe ature, your vehicle 
has been equipped with a tire pressure 
monitoring system (TPMS-tire pressure 
warning system) that illuminates a low 
tire pressure telltale (tire pressure warn-
ing light) when one or more of your tires 
is significantly under-inflated. Accord-
ingly, when the low ti re pressure telltale 
(tire pressure warning light) illuminates, 
you should stop and check your tires as 
soon as possible, and inflate them to the 
proper pressure. Driving on a signifi-
cantly under-inflated tire causes the tire 
to overheat and can lead to tire failure. 
Under-inflation also reduces fuel effi-
ciency and tire tread life, and may affect 
the vehicle’s handling and stopping abil-
ity.
Please note that the TPMS (tire pressure 
warning system) is not a substitute for 
proper tire maintenance, and it is the 
driver’s responsibility  to maintain correct 
tire pressure, even if under-inflation has 
not reached 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) 
malfunction 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 pres-
sure warning light) . When the system 
detects a malfunction, the telltale will 
flash for approximately one minute and 
then remain continuously illuminated. 
This sequence will continue upon subse-
quent vehicle start-ups as long as the 
malfunction exists. When the malfunction 
indicator is illuminated, the system may 
not be able to detect or signal low tire 
pressure as intended.
