Maintenance and care
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.

7-2. Steps to take in an emergency
When trouble arises
To have your vehicle towed by another
vehicle, the towing eyelet must be
installed to your vehicle. Install the tow-
ing eyelet using the following proce-
dure.
1 Take out the towing eyelet.
( P.339)
2 Remove the eyelet cover using a
flathead screwdriver.
To protect the bodywork, place a rag between the screwdriver and the vehicle body as shown in the illustration.
3 Insert the towing eyelet into the
hole and tighten partially by hand.
4 Tighten down the towing eyelet
securely using a wheel nut wrench
or hard metal bar.
5 Securely attach cables or chains to
the towing eyelet.
Take care not to damage the vehicle body.
6 Enter the vehicle being towed and
start the engine <hybrid system>.
If the engine <hybrid system> does not start, turn the engine switch <power
switch> to IGNITION ON mode <ON mode>.
7 Shift the shift position to N and
release the parking brake.
■While towing
If the engine is not running <hybrid system is off>, the power assist for the brakes and
steering will not function, making steering and braking more difficult.
■Wheel nut wrench
Wheel nut wrench is installed in trunk. ( P.339)

7-2. Steps to take in an emergency
When trouble arises
■High coolant temperature warning light (warning buzzer)*
*: This light illuminates on the multi-information display.
■Front passenger detection sensor, seat belt reminder and warning buzzer
●If luggage is placed on a front passenger seat, the front passenger detection sensor may cause the warning light to flash and the warning buzzer to sound even if a passenger is not
sitting in the seat.
●If a cushion is placed on the seat, the sensor may not detect a passenger, and the warning
light may not operate properly.
■If the malfunction indicator lamp comes on while driving
The malfunction indicator lamp w ill come on if the fuel tank becomes completely empty. If
the fuel tank is empty, refuel the vehicle immediately. The malfunction indicator lamp will go off after several trips.
If the malfunction indicator lamp does not go off, contact any authorized Lexus retailer or Lexus authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer as soon as possible.
■Electric power steering system warning light (warning buzzer)
When the 12-volt battery charge becomes insufficient or the voltage temporarily drops, the electric power steering system warning lig ht may come on and the warning buzzer may sound.
■Tire pressure warning light
When a malfunction occurs in the tire pressure warning system, the tire pressure warning light blinks to warn the driver. However, if the warning light blinks for 1 minute, and then
remains illuminated, maki ng it difficult to determine whether the warning light is blinking, turn the engine switch <power switch> fr om off to IGNITION ON mode <ON mode> and check if the warning light blinks.
■When the tire pressure warning light comes on
Carry out the following procedure after the tire temperature has lowered sufficiently.
●Check the tire inflation pressure and adjust to the appropriate level.
●If the warning light does not go out even after several minutes, check that the tire inflation
pressure is at the specified level and carry out initialization. ( P.335)
The warning light may come on again if the above operations are conducted without first
allowing the tire temperature to lower sufficiently.
■The tire pressure warning light may come on due to natural causes
The tire pressure warning light may come on du e to natural causes such as natural air leaks
and tire inflation pressure changes caused by temperature. In this case, adjusting the tire inflation pressure will turn off the warning light (after a few minutes).

■Conditions that the tire pressure warning system may not function properly
 P.330
■If the tire pressure warning light frequently comes on after blinking for 1 minute
If the tire pressure warning lig ht frequently comes on after blinking for 1 minute when the engine switch <power switch> is turned to IGNITION ON mode <ON mode>, have it
checked by any authorized Lexus retailer or Lexus authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
■Warning buzzer
In some cases, the buzzer may not be heard due to being in a noisy location or audio sound.
WARNING
■If both the ABS and the brake system warning lights remain on
Stop your vehicle in a safe place immediately and contact any authorized Lexus retailer
or Lexus authorized repairer, or any reliabl e repairer. The vehicle will become extremely unstable during braking, and the ABS system may fail, which could cause an accident resulting in death or serious injury.
■When the electric power steering system warning light comes on
When the light comes on yellow, the assist to the power steering is restricted. When the
light comes on red, the assist to the power st eering is lost and handling operations of the steering wheel become extremely heavy. When steering wheel operations are heavier than usual, grip the steering wheel firmly and operate it using more force than usual.
■If the tire pressure warning light comes on
Be sure to observe the following precautions. Failure to do so could cause a loss of vehi-
cle control and result in death or serious injury.
●Decelerate to the lowest appropriate speed as soon as possible. Do not drive over 80 km/h (50 mph).
●Check and adjust the tire inflation pressure immediately.
●If the tire pressure warning light comes on ev en after tire inflation pressure adjustment, it is probable that you have a flat tire. Have the flat tire replaced by nearest authorized
Lexus retailer or Lexus authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
●Avoid abrupt maneuvering and braking. If the vehicle tires deteriorate, you could lose control of the steering wheel or the brakes.
■If a blowout or sudden air leakage should occur
The tire pressure warning system may not activate immediately.
