5 Press or of the meter con-
trol switches and select “Change
wheel set”. Then press and hold
“OK” until the tire pressure warn-
ing light starts blinking.
The change wheel set mode is activated
and registration is started.
A message is displaye d on the multi-infor-
mation display, and “--” is displayed for
inflation pressure of e ach tire. Then, the tire
pressure warning light blinks rapidly for
approximately 1 minute and stays on.
6 Drive the vehicle at 25mph (40
km/h) or more for approximately
10 to 30 minutes.
When registration is completed, the tire
pressure warning light will go off and the
inflation pressure of e ach tire will be dis-
played on the multi-information display.
The time elapsed before registration is
completed differs according to the driving
condition and environment.
■Canceling the change wheel set mode
●If turning the engine switch off when in
the change wheel set mode before driv-
ing, the change wheel set mode is can-
celed.
●After driving when in the change wheel
set mode, the change wheel set mode
cannot be canceled. To cancel the mode, perform the procedure for ID code regis-
tration again and turn the engine switch
off before driving.
●If the change wheel set mode is canceled,
the ID codes that have already been reg-
istered are communicated. When com-
munication is finished, the tire pressure
warning light will turn off.
■When ID code registration may not
operate properly
●Do not move the vehicle backward
during registration. Re
gistration 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 warnin g valves and trans-
mitters.
●If tire pressure warning valves and trans-
mitters are in the vehicle, the ID codes
may not be registered.
If registration takes long time, perform the
procedure for ID code registration again
after parking the vehicle for 20 minutes.
If the ID codes cannot be registered even
when performing the above procedure,
contact your Lexus dealer.

When trouble arises
7-2.Steps to take in an emergency
If your vehicle needs to be
t
owed
If towing is ne cessary, we recom-
mend having your vehicle towed by
your Lexus dealer or commercial
towing service, using a wheel-lift
type truck or flatbed truck.
Use a safety chain system for all
towing, and abide by all state/pro-
vincial and local laws.
WARNING
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in death or
serious injury.
■When towing the vehicle
Be sure to transport the vehicle with all
four wheels raised off the ground. If the
vehicle is towed with the tires contacting
the ground, the drivetrain and related
parts may be damaged or an accident
may occur due to a change in direction
of the vehicle.
■While towing
●When towing using cables or chains,
avoid sudden starts, etc. which place
excessive stress on the towing eyelets,
cables or chains. The towing eyelets,
cables or chains may become dam-
aged, broken debris may hit people,
and cause serious damage.
●Do not turn the engine switch off.
This may lead to an accident as the
rear wheels will be locked by the park-
ing lock.
Also, there is a possibility that the
steering wheel is locked and cannot be
operated.
■Installing towing eyelets to the vehi-
cle
Make sure that towing eyelets are
installed securely.
If not securely installed, towing eyelets
may come loose during towing.
NOTICE
■To prevent damage to the vehicle
when towing using a wheel-lift type
truck
●Do not tow the vehicle from the rear
when the engine switch is OFF. The
steering lock mechanism is not strong
enough to hold the front wheels
straight.
●When raising the vehicle, ensure ade-
quate ground clearance for towing at
the opposite end of the raised vehicle.
Without adequate clearance, the vehi-
cle could be damaged while being
towed.
■To prevent damage to the vehicle
when towing with a sling-type truck
Do not tow with a sling-type truck, either
from the front or rear.
■To prevent damage to the vehicle
during emergency towing
Do not secure cables or chains to the
suspension components.

3127-2. Steps to take in an emergency
7Shift the shift position to N and
release the parking brake.
Turn automatic mode off. ( P.158)
■While towing
If the engine is not running, the power assist
for the brakes and steering will not function,
making steering and braking more difficult.
■Wheel nut wrench
Wheel nut wrench can be purchased at
your Lexus dealer.
 Fluid leaks under the vehicle.
(Water dripping from the air condi-
tioning after use is normal.)
 Flat-looking tires or uneven tire
wear
 Engine coolant temperature gauge
continually points higher than nor-
mal.
 Changes in exhaust sound
 Excessive tire squeal when corner-
ing
 Strange noises related to the sus-
pension system
 Pinging or other noises related to
the engine
 Engine missing, stumbling or run-
ning roughly
 Appreciable loss of power

when braking
If you think something is
wrong
If you notice any of the following
symptoms, your vehicle probably
needs adjustment or repair. Con-
tact your Lexus dealer as soon as
possible.

Operational symptoms

3367-2. Steps to take in an emergency
■When the battery is removed or dis-
charged
●Side window open/close function linked
to door operation does not operate.
When closing the side window, slowly
close the side window while pushing the
upper portion of the side window
inside the soft top roof.
●Information stored in the ECU is cleared.
When the battery is depleted, have the
vehicle inspected at your Lexus dealer.
●Some systems may require initialization.
( P.378)
■When removing the battery terminals
When the battery terminals are removed,
the information stored in the ECU is
cleared. Before removi ng the battery termi-
nals, contact your Lexus dealer.
■Charging the battery
The electricity stored in the battery will dis-
charge gradually even when the vehicle is
not in use, due to natural discharge and the
draining effects of certain electrical appli-
ances. If the vehicle is left for a long time,
the battery may discharge, and the engine
may be unable to start. (The battery
recharges automatically during driving.)
■When recharging or replacing the bat-
tery
●Immediately after replacing the battery,
fully open or close the soft top roof, as the
luggage cover may be half-opened.
●In some cases, it may not be possible to
unlock the doors using the smart access
system with push-button start when the
battery is discharged. Use the wireless
remote control or the mechanical key to
lock or unlock the doors.
●The engine may not start on the first
attempt after the battery has recharged
but will start normally after the second
attempt. This is not a malfunction.
●The engine switch mode is memorized by
the vehicle. When the battery is recon-
nected, the system will return to the
mode it was in before the battery was dis-
charged. Before disconnecting the bat-
tery, turn the engine switch off.
If you are unsure wh at mode the engine
switch was in before the battery dis-
charged, be especially careful when
reconnecting the battery.
●If the battery discharges, it may not be
possible to shift the shift position to other
positions. In this case, the vehicle cannot
be towed without lifting both rear wheels
because the rear wheels will be locked.
(  P.310)
■When replacing the battery
●Use a Central Degassing type battery
(European Regulations).
●Use a battery that the case size is same as
the previous one (LN4), 20 hour rate
capacity (20HR) is eq uivalent (80Ah) or
greater, and performance rating (CCA)
is equivalent (685A) or greater.
• If the sizes differ, the battery cannot be
properly secured.
• If the 20 hour rate capacity is low, even if the time period where the vehicle is not
used is a short time, the battery may dis-
charge and engine may not be able to
start.
●Use a battery with a handle. If a battery
without a handle is used, removal is more
difficult.
●After exchanging, firmly attach the fol-
lowing items to the exhaust hole of the
battery.
• Use the exhaust hose that was attached to the battery before exchanging.
• Use the exhaust hole plug included with the battery exchanged or the one
