■Situations in which the tire pressure warning system may not operate properly
●In the following cases, the tire pressure warning system may not operate properly.
• 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 th e 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 extr emely higher than the specified level.
• If the spare tire is in a location subj ect to poor radio wave signal reception.
• If a large metallic object which can interfere with signal reception is put near the
spare tire.
• If tires not equipped with the tire pressure warning valves and transmitters are used.
• If the ID code on the tire pressure warning valves and transmitters is not registered
in the tire pressure warning computer.
●Performance may be affected in the following situations.
• Near a TV tower, electric power plant, gas station, radio station, large display, air-
port or other facility that generates st rong radio waves or electrical noise
• When carrying a portable radio, cellular phone, cordless phone or other wireless

Maintenance and care
■The initialization operation
●Make sure to carry out initialization after adjusting the tire inflation pressure.
Also, make sure the tires are cold before carryi ng out initialization or tire inflation pres-
sure adjustment.
●If you have accidentally turned the engine swit ch off during initialization, it is not neces-
sary to manually restart the in itialization again, as initialization will restart automatically
the next time the engine switch is turned to IGNITION ON mode.
●If you accidentally perform initialization when initialization is not necessary, adjust the
tire inflation pressure to the specified leve l when the tires are cold, and conduct initial-
ization again.
●While the position of each tire is being de termined and the inflation pressures are not
being displayed on the multi-info rmation display, if the inflation pressure of a tire drops,
the tire pressure warning light will come on.
■Warning performance of the tire pressure warning system
The warning of the tire pressu re warning system will change in accordance with the con-
ditions under which it was init ialized. For this reason, the system may give a warning even
if the tire pressure does not reach a low enough level, or if the pressure is higher than the
pressure that was adjusted to when the system was initialized.
■When initialization of the tire pressure warning system has failed
●Do not move the vehicle backward during in itialization. Initialization is started again
from the beginning and it ma y take longer than usual.
●Initialization may take longer to complete if the vehicle is driven on an unpaved road.
When performing initialization, drive on a paved road if possible. Depending on the
driving environment and cond ition of the tires, initialization will be completed in
approximately 10 to 30 minutes.
• If initialization is not comp lete after driving approximately 30 minutes, continue
driving for a while.
• If initialization is not complete after driv ing approximately 1 hour, park the vehicle in
a safe place for approximately 20 minutes. Then drive straight (with occasional left
and right turns) at approximat ely 25 mph (40 km/h) or more
* for approximately 10
to 30 minutes.
If initialization is still not complete, have the vehicle inspected by your Lexus dealer.
*: Except when making a left/right turn
●In the following situations, th e tire inflation pressure will not be recorded and the system
will not operate properly. Perform initialization again.
• If, when attempting to start initialization , the tire pressure warning light does not
blink 3 times.
• If, when the vehicle has been driven for ab out 20 minutes after performing initializa-
tion, the tire pressure warning light blinks for approximately 1 minute and then illumi-
nates.

■When registering ID codes
●ID code registration is performed while driving at a vehicle speed of approximately 25
mph (40 km/h) or more.
●Before performing ID code registration, make
sure that no wheels with tire pressure
warning valve and transmitters installed are near the vehicle.
●Initialize the tire pressure warning system after ID code registration. Initialization is dis-
abled if the system was init ialized before registration.
●After ID code registration, the tires are hot by driving. Initialize the tire pressure warn-
ing system after the tires become cold.
●ID codes can be registered by yourself, bu t depending on the driving conditions and
driving environment, registration may take some time to complete.
■Canceling the change wheel set mode
●If turning the engine switch off when in th e change wheel set mode before driving, the
change wheel set mode is canceled.
●After driving when in the ch ange wheel set mode, the change wheel set mode cannot
be canceled. To cancel the mode, perform th e procedure for ID code registration again
and turn the engine switch off before driving.
●If the change wheel set mode is canceled, the ID codes that have already been regis-
tered are communicated. When communication is finished, the tire pressure warning
light will turn off.
■When ID code registration has failed
●Registration may take long time or the ID codes may not be registered in the following
situations.
• When the vehicle is moved ba ckward during registration.
Registration is started again from the beginning and it may take longer than usual.
• When another vehicle is running the side of the vehicle such as in heavy traffic. It may take longer to detect the vehicle’s tire pressure warning valves and transmit-
ters.
• If tire pressure warning valves an d transmitters are in the vehicle.
The ID codes may not be registered.
●When performing registration , drive on a paved road if possible. Depending on the
driving environment and conditio n of the tires, registration will be completed in approx-
imately 10 to 30 minutes.
• If registration is not comple te after driving approximately 30 minutes, continue driv-
ing for a while.
• If registration is not complete after driving approximately 1 hour, park the vehicle in a safe place for approximately 20 minutes. Then drive straight (with occasional left
and right turns) at approximat ely 25 mph (40 km/h) or more
* for approximately 10
to 30 minutes.
If registration is still not complete, have the vehicle inspected by your Lexus dealer.
*: Except when making a left/right turn
●When the tire pressure warning light does not blink slowly 3 times, the ID code will not
be registered and the system will not operate properly. Perform registration again.
