■Run-flat tires
●The run-flat tires are for only this vehicle.
Do not use the tires on other vehicles.
●Do not mix run-flat tires and normal tires.
●If non-genuine Lexus wheels are used, it
may be impossible to sufficiently demon-
strate the performance of run-flat tires.
Your vehicle is equipped with a tire
pressure warning system that uses tire
pressure warning valves and transmit-
ters to detect low tire inflation pressure
before serious problems arise.
If the tire pressure drops below a
predetermined level, the driver is
warned by a screen display and a
warning light. ( P.387, 395)
The tire pressure detected by the
tire pressure warning system can be
displayed on the multi-information
display. ( P.87)
The illustration used is intended as an
example, and may differ from the image
that is actually displayed on the multi-infor-
mation display.
■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 pressu
re after the power
switch is turned to ON. It may also take a
few minutes to display the tire inflation
pressure after inflatio n pressure has been
adjusted.
●Tire inflation pressure changes with tem-
perature. The displaye d 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.
• A tire has been replaced with a tire that is
not an OE (Original Equipment) tire.
• A tire has been replaced with a tire that is
not of the specified size.
• Tire chains etc. are equipped.
• 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 extremely higher than the specified level.
• If wheels without tire pressure warning
valves and transmitters 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.
• Near a TV tower, electric power plant,
gas station, radio stat ion, large display,
airport or other fac ility that generates
strong radio waves or electrical 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,

Maintenance and care
When registering the ID codes, per-
form the following procedure.
1Park the vehicle in a safe place, wait
for approximately 20 minutes, and
then start the hybrid system.
( P.162)
2 Press or of the meter con-
trol switches and select .
3 Press or of the meter con-
trol switches and select “Vehicle
Settings”, then press “OK”.
4 Press or of the meter con-
trol switches an d select “TPWS”,
then press “OK”.
5 Press or of the meter con-
trol switches and select “Change
Wheel Set”. Then press and hold
“OK” until the tire pressure warning
light starts slowly blinking 3 times.
Then a message will be displayed on the
multi-information display.
When registration is being performed, the
tire pressure warning light will blink for
approximately 1 minute then illuminate and
“- -” will be displayed for the inflation pres-
sure of each tire on the multi-information
display.
6Drive at 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 ea ch tire is displayed
on the multi-information display.
Even if the vehicle is not driven at approxi-
mately 25 mph (40 km/h) or more, regis-
tration can be completed by driving for a
long time. However, if registration does not
complete after driving for 1 hour or more,
perform the procedure again from the
beginning.
7 Initialize the tire pressure warning
system. ( P.351)
■When registering ID codes
●ID code registration is performed while
driving at a vehicle speed of approxi-
mately 25 mph (40 km/h) or more.
●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.
●ID codes can be registered by yourself,
but depending on the driving conditions
and driving environment, registration
may take some time to complete.
■Canceling ID code registration
●To cancel ID code regi stration after it has
been started, turn the power 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 power
switch off before driving.
●If ID code registration has been canceled,
the tire pressure warning light will blink
for approximately 1 minute when the
power switch is turned to ON and then
illuminate. The tire pressure warning sys-
tem will be operational when the tire
pressure warning light turns off.
●If the warning light does not turn off even
after several minutes have elapsed, ID
3937-2. Steps to take in an emergency
7
When trouble arises
bag sensor assembly, front impact sensors,
side impact sensors (front door), side
impact sensors (front), side impact sensors
(rear), driver’s seat position sensor, driver’s
seat belt buckle switch, front passenger
occupant classification system (ECU and
sensors), rear seat belt buckle switches (if
equipped), “AIR BAG ON” indicator light,
“AIR BAG OFF” indicator light, front pas-
senger’s seat belt buckle switch, seat belt
pretensioners, airbags, interconnecting wir-
ing and power sources. (P.31)
■Electric power steering system warning
light (warning buzzer)
When the 12-volt battery charge becomes
insufficient or the voltage temporarily
drops, the electric po wer 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.399
If none of the tires are punctured:
Turn the power switch off then turn it to ON.
Check if the tire pressure warning light
comes on or blinks.
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.351)
■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).
■Conditions that the tire pressure warn-
ing system may not function properly
P.348
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
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.
