falling material, fluid spray, etc. from get-
ting in your eyes.
NOTICE
■If you remove the air cleaner filter
Driving with the air cleaner filter
removed may cause excessive engine
wear due to dirt in the air.

2986-3. Do-it-yourself maintenance
Rotate the tires in the order shown.
Vehicles with front and rear tires of
the same size
To equalize tire wear and extend tire
life, Lexus recommends that tire rota-
tion is carried out at the same interval
as tire inspection.
Do not fail to initialize the tire pressure
warning system after tire rotation.
Vehicles with front and rear tires of
differing sizes
Tires cannot be rotated.
■When rotating the tires
Make sure that the engine switch is off. If the
tires are rotated while the engine switch is in
IGNITION ON mode, the tire position
information will not be updated.
WARNING
■When inspecting or replacing tires
Observe the following precautions to
prevent accidents.
Failure to do so may cause damage to
parts of the drive trai n as well as danger-
ous handling characteristics, which may
lead to an accident resulting in death or
serious injury.
●Do not mix tires of different makes,
models or tread patterns.
Also, do not mix tires of remarkably
different treadwear.
●Do not use tire sizes other than those
recommended by Lexus.
●Do not mix differently constructed
tires (radial, bias-b elted or bias-ply
tires).
●Do not mix summer, all season and
snow tires.
●Do not use tires that have been used
on another vehicle.
Do not use tires if you do not know
how they were used previously.
●Do not tow if your vehicle has a com-
pact spare tire installed.
NOTICE
■Driving on rough roads
Take particular care when driving on
roads with loose surfaces or potholes.
These conditions may cause losses in tire
inflation pressure, reducing the cushion-
ing ability of the tires. In addition, driving
on rough roads may cause damage to
the tires themselves, as well as the vehi-
cle’s wheels and body.
■Low profile tires
Low profile tires may cause greater dam-
age than usual to the tire wheel when
sustaining impact from the road surface.
Therefore, pay attention to the following:
●Be sure to use proper tire inflation
pressure. If tires are under-inflated,
they may be damaged more severely.
●Avoid potholes, uneven pavement,
curbs and other road hazards. Failure
to do so may lead to severe tire and
wheel damage.
■If tire inflation pressure of each tire
becomes low while driving
Do not continue driving, or your tires
and/or wheels may be ruined.

Maintenance and care
If this accidentally occurs, either turn the
engine switch to off and then to IGNITION
ON mode, or initialize the system after
checking that the tire pressure is properly
adjusted.
Your vehicle is equipped with a tire
pressure warning system that uses tire
pressure warning valves and transmit-
ters to detect low tire inflation pressure
before serious problems arise.
The tire pressure detected by the
tire pressure warning system can be
displayed on the multi-information
display.
If the tire pressure drops below a
predetermined level, the driver is
warned by a screen display and a
warning light. ( P.333)
■Routine tire inflation pressure checks
The tire pressure warning system does not replace routine tire
inflation pressure
checks. Make sure to check tire inflation
pressure as part of your routine of daily
vehicle checks.
■Tire inflation pressure
●It may take a few minutes to display the
tire inflation pressu re after the engine
switch is turned to IGNITION ON mode.
It may also take a few minutes to display
the tire inflation pressure after inflation
pressure has b een adjusted.
●Tire inflation pressure changes with tem-
perature. The displayed values may also
be different from the values measured
using a tire pressure gauge.
■Situations in which the tire pressure
warning system may not operate prop-
erly
●In the following cases, the tire pressure
warning system may not operate prop-
erly.
• If non-genuine Lexus wheels are used.
• If a tire has been replaced with a tire that is not an OE (Original Equipment) tire.
• If a tire has been replaced with a tire that is not of the specified size.
• If tire chains, etc. are installed.
• An auxiliary-supported run-flat tire is
equipped.
• If a window tint that affects the 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 extremely
higher than the specified level.
• If tires not equipped with tire pressure warning valves and transmitters are used.
• If the ID code on the tire pressure warn- ing valves and transmitters is not regis-
tered in the tire pressure warning
computer.
●Performance may be af fected in the fol-
lowing situations.
• When driving near a TV tower, electric power plant, gas station, radio station,
large display, airport or other facility that
generates strong radi o waves or electri-
cal noise
• When carrying a portable radio, cellular
phone, cordless phone or other wireless

Maintenance and care
pressure is set as the benchmark pres-
sure.
■How to initialize the tire pressure
warning system
1 Park the vehicle in a safe place, turn
the engine switch off and wait 20
minutes or more.
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 Start the engine. ( P.130)
4 Press and hold the tire pressure
warning reset switch until the tire
pressure warning light blinks slowly
3 times.
Then a message will be displayed on the
multi-information display.
5 Drive straight (with occasional left
and right turns) at approximately
25 mph (40 km/h) or more for
approximately 10 to 30 minutes.
Initialization is complete when the position
of each tire is determined and the inflation
pressure of each tire is displayed on the
multi-information display.
■Initialization procedure
●Make sure to perform the initialization
procedure after adjusting the tire inflation
pressure.
Also, make sure the tires are cold before
performing the initia lization procedure or
adjusting the tire inflation pressure.
●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 press the reset switch
when initialization is not necessary, adjust
the tire inflation pressure 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.
■If the tire pressure warning system is not
initialized properly
●In the following situations, initialization
may take longer than usual to be com-
pleted or may not be possible. (Usually,
the vehicle will need to be driven for
approximately 10 to 30 minutes to com-
plete initialization.) If initialization is not
complete after drivin g approximately 30
minutes, continue driving for a while.
• If the vehicle is driven on an unpaved road, it may take longer to complete ini-
tialization.
• If the vehicle is backed up while perform- ing initialization, data collected during ini-
tialization 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 initialization is not complete after driving
for approximately 1 hour, park the vehicle in

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.
