When trouble arises
WARNING
●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. Check the tires. If a tire is flat,
change it with the spare tire and have
the flat tire repaired 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.
3467-2. Steps to take in an emergency
■Warning messages
The warning messages explained below
may differ from the actual messages
according to operation conditions and vehi-
cle specifications.
■Warning buzzer
A buzzer may sound when a message is dis-
played.
The buzzer may not be audible if the vehicle
is in a noisy location or if the audio system
volume is high.
■If “Engine Oil Level Low Add or
Replace” is displayed
The engine oil level is low. Check the level
of the engine oil, and add if necessary.
This message ma y appear if the vehicle is
stopped on a slope. Move the vehicle to a
level surface and chec k to see if the mes-
sage disappears.
WARNING
TPMS (tire pressure warning system)
malfunctions may occur for a variety of
reasons, including th e installation of
replacement or alternate tires or wheels
on the vehicle that prevent the TPMS
(tire pressure warning system) from func-
tioning properly. Always check the
TPMS (tire pressure warning system)
malfunction telltale after replacing one
or more tires or wheels on your vehicle to
ensure that the replacement or alternate
tires and wheels allow the TPMS (tire
pressure warning system) to continue to
function properly.
NOTICE
■To ensure the tire pressure warning
system operates properly
Do not install tires wi th different specifi-
cations or makers, as the tire pressure
warning system may not operate prop-
erly.
If a warning message is dis-
played
The multi-information display
shows warnings for system malfunc-
tions and incorrectly performed
operations, and messages that indi-
cate a need for maintenance.
When a message is displayed, per-
form the appropriate corrective
action for the message.
If a warning message is displayed
again after the appropriate actions
have been performed, contact your
Lexus dealer.
Additionally, if a warning light
comes on or flashes at the same
time that a warning message is dis-
played, take the appropriate cor-
rective action for the warning light.

4Remove the guide pin and loosely
tighten the wheel bolt as in step 3.
5 Lower the vehicle.
6 Firmly tighten each wheel bolt in
the order shown in the illustration
two or three times.
Tightening torque:
103 ft•lbf (140 N•m, 14.3 kgf•m)
7Stow the flat tire, tire jack and all
tools.
■The compact spare tire
●The compact spare tire is identified by the
label “TEMPORARY USE ONLY” on the tire sidewall.
●Use the compact spar
e tire temporarily,
and only in an emergency.
●Make sure to check the tire inflation pres-
sure of the compact spare tire. ( P.379)
■When using the compact spare tire
As the compact spare tire is not equipped
with a tire pressure warning valve and trans-
mitter, low inflation pressure of the spare
tire will not be indicated by the tire pressure
warning system. Also, if you replace the
compact spare tire afte r the tire pressure
warning light comes on, the light remains
on.
■When the compact spare tire is
equipped
The vehicle becomes lower when driving
with the compact spare tire compared to
when driving with standard tires.
■If you have a flat rear tire on a road cov-
ered with snow or ice (vehicles with
front and rear tires of the same size)
Install the compact spare tire on one of the
front wheels of the vehicle. Perform the fol-
lowing steps and fit tire chains to the rear
tires:
1 Replace a front tire with the compact
spare tire.
2 Replace the flat rear tire with the tire
removed from the front of the vehicle.
3 Fit tire chains to the rear tires.
WARNING
■Installing the compact spare tire
Failure to follow these precautions could
cause the wheel bolts to loosen and the
tire to fall off, result ing in death or serious
injury.

WARNING
• Tire pressure warning system
• Adaptive Variable Suspension System
(if equipped)
• LTA (Lane Tracing Assist)
• Lexus parking assist monitor (if equipped)
• Panoramic view monitor (if equipped)
• Intuitive parking assist (if equipped)
• PKSB (Parking Support Brake) (if equipped)
• BSM (Blind Spot Monitor) (if equipped)
• Navigation system (if equipped)
Also, not only can the following system
not be utilized fully, but it may even nega-
tively affect the drive-train components:
• AWD system
■Speed limit when using the compact
spare tire
Do not drive at speeds in excess of 50
mph (80 km/h) when a compact spare
tire is installed on the vehicle.
The compact spare tire is not designed
for driving at high speeds. Failure to
observe this precaution may lead to an
accident causing deat h or serious injury.
■After using the tools and jack
Before driving, make sure all the tools
and jack are securely in place in their
storage location to reduce the possibility
of personal injury during a collision or
sudden braking.
NOTICE
■Be careful when driving over bumps
with the compact spare tire installed
on the vehicle
When driving with the compact spare
tire installed, the vehicle height will be
different than when driving with standard
tires. Be careful when driving over
uneven road surfaces, etc.
■Driving with tire chains and the com-
pact spare tire
Do not fit tire chains to the compact
spare tire.
Tire chains may damage the vehicle body
and adversely affect driving perfor-
mance.
■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.
