idly for example when a tire has burst, the
warning may not function.
■Warning performance of the tire pres-
sure warning system
The warning of the tire pressure warning
system will change in accordance with the
conditions under which it was initialized. For
this reason, the system may give a warning
even if the tire pressure does not reach a

Maintenance and care
■The tire pressure warning system
must be initialized in the following
circumstances:
 When the tire inflation pressure is
changed such as when changing
traveling speed.
 When the tire inflation pressure is
changed such as when the tire size
is changed.
 When rotating the tires.
When the tire pressure warning system
is initialized, the cu rrent tire inflation
pressure is set as the benchmark pres-
sure.
■How to initialize the tire pressure
warning system
1 Park the vehicle in a safe place and
turn the engine switch off.
Initialization cannot be performed while
the vehicle is moving.
2 Adjust the tire inflation pressure to
the specified cold tire inflation pres-
sure level.
Make sure to adjust th e tire pressure to the
specified cold tire infl ation pressure level. The tire pressure warning system will oper-
ate based on this pressure level.
3
Turn the engine switch to IGNI-
TION ON mode.
4 Select on the multi-information
display.
5 Press or of the meter con-
trol switch, select the “Vehicle Set-
tings” screen and then press the
.
6 Press or of the meter con-
trol switch, select the “TPMS”
screen and then press and hold the

ing light blinks slowly 3 times.
“- -” will be displayed for inflation pressure
of each tire on the multi-information dis-
play while the tire pr essure warning system
determines the position of each tire.
7 Drive the vehicle at approximately
25 mph (40 km/h) or more for
approximately 10 to 30 minutes
until the inflation pressure of each
tire is displayed on the multi-infor-
mation display.
When position of each tire is determined,
the inflation pressure of each tire will be
displayed on the multi-information display.
If tire inflation pressure becomes low
before the inflation pressure is displayed,
the tire pressure warning light will come
NOTICE
■To avoid damage to the tire pressure
warning valves and transmitters
When a tire is repaired with liquid seal-
ants, the tire pressu re warning valve and
transmitter may not operate properly. If a
liquid sealant is used , contact your Lexus
dealer or other qualified service shop as
soon as possible. Make sure to replace
the tire pressure warning valve and trans-
mitter when replacing the tire. ( P.370)
Initializing the tire pressure
warning system

3726-3. Do-it-yourself maintenance
on.
Depending on the vehicle and driving con-
ditions, initialization may take up to
approximately 1 hour to complete.
■Initializing the tire pressure warning sys-
tem
Initialize the system with the tire inflation
pressure adjusted to the specified level.
■If you press the tire pressure warning
reset switch accidentally
If initialization is performed, adjust the tire
inflation pressure to the specified level and
initialize the tire pr essure warning system
again.
■Initialization procedure
●Make sure to carry ou t initialization after
adjusting the tire inflation pressure.
Also, make sure the tires are cold before
carrying out initializat ion or tire inflation
pressure adjustment.
●If you have accidentally turned the engine
switch off during initialization, it is not
necessary to press the reset switch again
as initialization will restart automatically
when the engine switch has been turned
to IGNITION ON mode for the next
time.
●If you accidentally pr ess the reset switch
when initialization is not necessary, adjust
the tire inflation pres sure to the specified
level when the tires are cold, and conduct
initialization again.
●While the position of each tire is being
determined and the inflation pressures
are not being displayed on the
multi-information display, if the inflation
pressure of a tire drops, the tire pressure
warning light will come on.
■When initialization of the tire pressure
warning system has failed
Initialization may take lo nger 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 condition of the
tires, initialization will be completed in
approximately 10 to 30 minutes. If initializa-
tion is not complete after driving approxi- mately 10 to 30 minutes, continue driving
for a while.
If the inflation pressure of each tire is not
displayed after driving for approximately 1
hour, perform the following procedure.
●Park the vehicle in a safe place for
approximately 20 minutes. Then drive
straight (with occasional left and right
turns) at approximately 25 mph (40
km/h) or more for approximately 10 to
30 minutes.
However, in the following situations, the tire
inflation pressure will not be recorded and
the system will not operate properly. Per-
form initialization again.
●When operating the tire pressure warn-
ing reset switch, the tire pressure warning
light does not blink 3 times.
●After performing init ialization, the tire
pressure warning light blinks for 1 minute
then stays on while driving.
If the inflation pressure of each tire is still not
displayed, have the vehicle inspected by
your Lexus dealer.
The tire pressure warning valve and
transmitter is equipped with a unique
ID code. When replacing a tire pres-
sure warning valve and transmitter, it is
necessary to register the ID code.
Have the ID code registered by your
Lexus dealer.
WARNING
■When initializing the tire pressure
warning system
Do not initializing tire inflation pressure
without first adjusting the tire inflation
pressure to the spec ified level. Other-
wise, the tire pressu re warning light may
not come on even if the tire inflation pres-
sure is low, or it may come on when the
tire inflation pressure is actually normal.
