3286-3. Do-it-yourself maintenance
Rotate the tires in the order shown.
To equalize tire wear and extend tire life, 
Lexus recommends that tire rotation is car-
ried out at the same interval as tire inspec-
tion.
Do not fail to initialize the tire pressure 
warning system after tire rotation.
■When rotating the tires
Make sure that the power  switch is off. If the 
tires are rotated while the power switch is in 
ON mode, the tire position information will 
not be updated.
If this accidentally oc curs, either turn the 
power switch to off and then to 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 ti re inflation pressure 
before serious problems arise.
 If the tire pressure drops below a 
predetermined level, the driver is 
warned by a screen display and a 
warning light. ( P.362)
 The tire pressure detected by the 
tire pressure warning system can be 
displayed on the multi-information 
display. ( P.73)
The illustration used is intended as an 
example, and may differ from the image 
that is actually displayed on the multi-infor-
mation display.
■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 pressure after the power 
switch is turned to ON mode.
It may also take a few minutes to display 
the tire inflation pre ssure after inflation 
pressure has been adjusted.
NOTICE
●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 pres
sure of each tire 
becomes low while driving
Do not continue driving, or your tires 
and/or wheels may be ruined.
