Maintenance and care
●Make sure to initialize 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.
●As the tires will be warm when registra-
tion is completed, make sure to allow the
tires to cool before performing initializa-
tion.
■Canceling ID code registration
●To cancel ID code registration after it has
been started, turn th e engine 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 engine
switch off before driving.
●If ID code registration has been canceled,
the tire pressure warning light will blink
for approximately 1 minute when the
engine switch is tu rned to IGNITION
ON mode and then illuminate. The tire
pressure warning system will be opera-
tional when the tire pressure warning
light turns off.
●If the warning light does not turn off even
after several minutes have elapsed, ID
code registration may not have been can-
celled correctly. To ca ncel registration,
perform the ID code registration start
procedure again and th en turn the engine
switch off before driving.
■If ID codes are not registered properly
●In the following situations, ID code regis-
tration may take longer than usual to be
completed or may not be possible. (Usu-
ally, the vehicle will need to be driven for
approximately 10 to 30 minutes to com-
plete ID code registration.)
If ID code registration is not complete
after driving for approximately 30 min-
utes, continue driving for a while.
• If the vehicle is driven on an unpaved road, it may take longer than normal to
complete registration.
• If the vehicle is backed up while perform- ing registration, data collected during
registration will be cleared, and it will take
longer than normal to complete.
• If the vehicle is driven in heavy traffic or another situation where other vehicles
are driven close by, it may take time for
the system to recognize the tire pressure
warning valve and transmitters of your
vehicle over those of other vehicles.
• If a wheel with a ti re pressure warning
valve and transmitter in stalled is inside or
near the vehicle, registration of the ID
codes for the installe d wheels may not be
possible.
If ID registration is not complete after driv-
ing for approximately 1 hour, park the vehi-
cle in a safe place for approximately 20
minutes and then perform the ID code reg-
istration procedure again.
●In the following situations, ID code regis-
tration will not be started or was not com-
pleted properly and the system will not
operate properly. Pe rform the ID code
registration procedure again.
• If, when attempting to start ID code regis- tration, the tire pressure warning light
does not blink slowly 3 times.
• If, when the vehicle has been driven for about 20 minutes after performing ID
code registration, the tire pressure warn-
ing light blinks for approximately 1 minute
and then illuminates.
●If ID code registration cannot be com-
pleted after performi ng the above proce-
dure, contact your Lexus dealer.

Tire valve
Tire pressure gauge 1
Remove the tire valve cap.
2 Press the tip of the tire pressure
gauge onto the tire valve.
3 Read the pressure using the gauge
gradations.
4 If the tire inflation pressure is not at
the recommended level, adjust the
pressure.
If you add too much air, press the
center of the valve to deflate.
5 After completing the tire inflation
pressure measurement and adjust-
ment, apply soapy water to the
valve and check for leakage.
6 Put the tire valve cap back on.
■Tire inflation pressure check interval
You should check tire inflation pressure
every two weeks, or at least once a month.
Do not forget to check the spare.
■Effects of incorrect tire inflation pres-
sure
Driving with incorrect ti re inflation pressure
may result in the following:
●Reduced fuel economy
●Reduced driving comfort and poor han-
dling
●Reduced tire life due to wear
●Reduced safety
●Damage to the drive train
If a tire needs frequent inflating, have it
checked by your Lexus dealer.
■Instructions for checking tire inflation
pressure
When checking tire inflation pressure,
observe the following:
●Check only when the tires are cold.
If your vehicle has been parked for at
least 3 hours or has not been driven for
more than 1 mile or 1.5 km, you will get an
accurate cold tire inflation pressure read-

Maintenance and care
ing.
●Always use a tire pressure gauge.
It is difficult to judge if a tire is properly
inflated based only on its appearance.
●It is normal for the tire inflation pressure
to be higher after driving as heat is gen-
erated in the tire. Do not reduce tire infla-
tion pressure after driving.
●Never exceed the vehicle capacity
weight.
Passengers and luggage weight should
be placed so that the vehicle is balanced.
When replacing wheels, care should
be taken to ensure that they are equiv-
alent to those removed in load capac-
ity, diameter, rim width and inset
*.
Replacement wheels are available at
your Lexus dealer.
*: Conventionally referred to as offset.
Lexus does not recommend using the
following:
 Wheels of different sizes or types
 Used wheels
 Bent wheels that have been straight-
ened
■When replacing wheels
The wheels of your vehicle are equipped
with tire pressure wa rning valves and trans-
mitters that allow the tire pressure warning
system to provide advance warning in the
event of a loss in tire inflation pressure.
Whenever wheels are replaced, tire pres-
sure warning valves and transmitters must
be installed. ( P.300)
WARNING
■Proper inflation is critical to save tire
performance
Keep your tires properly inflated.
If the tires are not properly inflated, the
following conditions may occur which
could lead to an accident resulting in
death or serious injury:
●Excessive wear
●Uneven wear
●Poor handling
●Possibility of blowouts resulting from
overheated tires
●Air leaking from between tire and
wheel
●Wheel deformation and/or tire dam-
age
●Greater possibility of tire damage
while driving (due to road hazards,
expansion joints, sharp edges in the
road, etc.)
NOTICE
■When inspecting and adjusting tire
inflation pressure
Be sure to put the tire valve caps back on.
If a valve cap is not in stalled, dirt or mois-
ture may get into the valve and cause an
air leak, resulting in decreased tire infla-
tion pressure.
Wheels
If a wheel is bent, cracked or heavily
corroded, it should be replaced.
Otherwise, the tire may separate
from the wheel or cause a loss of
handling control.
Wheel selection
WARNING
■When replacing wheels
●Do not use wheels that are a different
size from those recommended in the
Owner’s Manual, as this may result in a
loss of handling control.

3066-3. Do-it-yourself maintenance
Use only Lexus wheel bolts and
wrenches designed for use with
your aluminum wheels.
 When rotating, repairing or chang-
ing your tires, check that the wheel
bolts are still tight after driving 621
miles (1000 km).
 Be careful not to damage the alumi-
num wheels when using tire chains.
 Use only Lexus genuine balance
weights or equivalent and a plastic
or rubber hammer when balancing
your wheels.
WARNING
●Never use an inner tube in a leaking
wheel which is designed for a tubeless
tire.
Doing so may result in an accident,
causing death or serious injury.
●Use the correct wheel bolts for the
wheels to be installed. For details, con-
tact your Lexus dealer.
■Wheel bolts
Observe the following precautions to
reduce the risk of death or serious injury:
●Do not over tighten.
●Never use oil or grease on the wheel
bolts. Oil and grease may cause the
wheel bolts to be excessively tight-
ened, leading to bolt or disc wheel
damage. In addition, the oil or grease
can cause the wheel bolts to loosen
and the wheel may fall off, causing a
serious accident. Remove any oil or
grease from the wheel bolts.
●If there are any cracks or deformations
in the wheel bolts, or if the surface
treatment becomes worn, have the
wheel bolts replaced at your Lexus
dealer. Failure to follow these precau-
tions could cause the wheel bolts to
loosen and the tire to fall off, resulting
in death or serious injury.
NOTICE
■Replacing tire pressure warning
valves and transmitters
●Because tire repair or replacement
may affect the tire pressure warning
valves and transmitters, make sure to
have tires serviced by your Lexus
dealer or other qual ified service shop.
In addition, make sure to purchase
your tire pressure warning valves and
transmitters at your Lexus dealer.
●Ensure that only genuine Lexus wheels
are used on your vehicle.
Tire pressure warning valves and trans-
mitters may not work properly with
non-genuine wheels.
