Maintenance and care
When replacing tires or wheels, tire
pressure warning valves and transmit-
ters must also be installed.
When new tire pressure warning
valves and transmitters are installed,
new ID codes must be registered in the
tire pressure warning computer and
the tire pressure warning system must
be initialized. ( P.337)
■When replacing the tires and wheels
If the ID code of the tire pressure warning valve and transmitter is not registered, the tire pressure warning system will not work
properly. After driving for about 10 minutes, the tire pressure warning light blinks for 1 minute and stays on to indicate a system
malfunction.
■The tire pressure warning system
must be initialized in the following
circumstances:
 When rotating the tires.
 When the tire inflation pressure is
changed when changing traveling
speed.
 When the tire inflation pressure is
changed such as when changing tire
size. (When there are multiple spec-
ified pressures)
 After registering the ID codes.
( P.337)
When the tire pressure warning system
is initialized, the current 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 <power
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 the 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 <power
switch> to IGNITION ON mode
<ON mode>.
Installing tire pressure warning
valves and tr ansmitters
NOTICE
■Repairing or replacing tires, wheels, tire pressure warning valves, trans-
mitters and tire valve caps
●When removing or fitting the wheels,
tires or the tire pressure warning valves and transmitters, contact any
authorized Lexus retailer or Lexus authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer as the tire pressure warning
valves and transmitters may be dam- aged if not handled correctly.
●Make sure to install the tire valve caps. If the tire valve caps are not installed,
water could enter the tire pressure warning valves and the tire pressure warning valves could be bound.
●When replacing tire valve caps, do not
use tire valve caps other than those specified. The cap may become stuck.

4Press or of the meter con-
trol switches and select .
5 Press or of the meter con-
trol switches and select “Vehicle
Settings”, and then press “OK”.
6 Press or of the meter con-
trol switches and select “TPWS
SET”, and then press “OK”.
7 Press or of the meter con-
trol switches and select “Set tire
pressure”, and then press and hold
“OK” until the tire pressure warning
light starts blinking.
A message is displayed on the multi-infor- mation display. Also, “--” is displayed for inflation pressure of each tire on the multi-
information display while the tire pressure warning system determines the position.
8 Drive the vehicle at approximately
40 km/h (25mph) or more for
approximately 10 to 30 minutes.
When initialization is complete, the infla- tion pressure of each tire will be displayed on the multi-information display.
Depending on the vehicle and driving con- ditions, initialization may take up to
approximately 1 hour to complete.
■The initialization operation
●Make sure to carry out initialization after
adjusting the tire inflation pressure. Also, make sure the tires are cold before carrying out initialization or tire inflation
pressure adjustment.
●If you have accidentally turned the engine
switch <power switch> off during initial- ization, it is not ne cessary to manually restart the initializatio n again, as initializa-
tion will restart automatically the next time the engine switch <power switch> is turned to IGNITION ON mode <ON
mode>.
●If you accidentally perform initialization
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 pres-
sure 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 longer 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 an d 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 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 40 km/h (25 mph) 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 performing init ialization, the tire

pressure warning light does not blink 3 times. (Initialization will not occur while driving)
●After performing init ialization, the tire pressure warning light blinks for 1 minute
then stays on after driving for about 20 minutes.
If the inflation pressure of each tire is still not
displayed, have the vehicle inspected by
any authorized Lexus retailer or Lexus
authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
■When registering ID codes
●Initialize the tire pressure warning system after ID code registra tion. Initialization is
disabled if the system was initialized before registration.
●After ID code registration, the tires are hot by driving. Initia lize the tire pressure warning system after the tires become
cold.
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.
When registering the ID codes, per-
form the following procedure.
1 Turn the engine switch <power
switch> to IGNITION ON mode
<ON mode>.
2 Press or of the meter con-
trol switches and select .
3 Press or of the meter con-
trol switches and select “Vehicle
Settings”, and then press “OK”.
4 Press or of the meter con-
trol switches and select “TPWS
SET”, and then press “OK”.
5 Press or of the meter con-
trol switches and select “Change
wheel set”, and then press and hold
“OK” until the tire pressure warning
light starts blinking.
The change wheel set mode is activated and registration is started.
A message is displayed 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 40 km/h
(25mph) or more for approxi-
mately 10 to 30 minutes.
When registration is completed, the tire pressure warning light will go off and the inflation pressure of each tire will be dis-
played on the multi-information display.
WARNING
■When initializing the tire pressure
warning system
Do not initialize tire inflation pressure
without first adjusting the tire inflation pressure to the specified level. Other-wise, the tire pressure 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.

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 <power switch> off when in the change wheel set
mode before driving, the change wheel set mode is canceled.
●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 <power 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. Registration 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 warning 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 any authorized Lexus retailer or
Lexus authorized repairer, or any reliable
repairer.
