warning system determines the position.
8Drive at approximately 25 mph
(40 km/h) or more for approxi-
mately 10 to 30 minutes.
When initialization is complete, the infla-
tion pressure of each tire will be displayed
on the multi-information display.
Even if the vehicle is not driven at approxi-
mately 25 mph (40 km /h) or more, initial-
ization can be completed by driving for a
long time. However, if initialization does not
complete after driving for 1 hour or more,
park the vehicle in a safe place for approxi-
mately 20 minutes and then drive the vehi-
cle again.
■When initializing
●Initialization is perfor med while driving at
a vehicle speed of approximately 25 mph
(40 km/h) or more.
●Make sure to carry ou t initialization after
adjusting the tire inflation pressure.
Also, make sure the tires are cold before
carrying out initializat ion or tire inflation
pressure adjustment.
●The tire pressure warning system can be
initialized by yourse lf, but depending on
the driving conditions and driving envi-
ronment, initialization may take some
time to complete.
■The initialization operation
●If you have accidenta lly turned the power
switch off during initialization, it is not
necessary to manually restart the initial-
ization again, as initialization will restart
automatically the next time the power
switch is turned to 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.
■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. Normally,
initialization comple tes within approxi-
mately 30 minutes.
• Vehicle is not driven at approximately 25 mph (40 km/h) or more
• Vehicle is driven on unpaved roads
• Vehicle is driven near other vehicles and system cannot recognize tire pressure
warning valve and transmitters of your
vehicle over those of other vehicles
If initialization does no t complete after driv-
ing for 1 hour or more, park the vehicle in a
safe place for approximately 20 minutes
and then drive the vehicle again.
●If the vehicle is reversed during initializa-
tion, the data up to that point is reset, so
perform the initiali zation procedure
again from the beginning.
●In the following situations, initialization
will not be started or was not completed
properly and the system will not operate
properly. Perform the initialization proce-
dure again.
• If, when attempting to start initialization,
the tire pressure warning light does not
blink 3 times.
• If, when the vehicle has been driven for about 20 minutes after performing ini-
tialization, the tire pressure warning light
blinks for approximately 1 minute and
then illuminates.
If initialization canno t be completed after
performing the above procedure, contact
your Lexus dealer.

3366-3. Do-it-yourself maintenance
Every tire pressure warning valve and
transmitter has a unique ID code.
When replacing a tire pressure warn-
ing valve and transmitter, it is necessary
to register the ID code.
When registering the ID codes, per-
form the following procedure.
1
Park the vehicle in a safe place, wait
for approximately 20 minutes, and
then start the hybrid system.
(P.143)
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”,
and then press “OK”.
5
Press or of the meter con-
trol switches and select “Change
Wheel Set”. Then press and hold
“OK” until the tire pressure warning
light starts slowly blinking 3 times.
Then a message will be displayed on the multi-information display.
When registration is being performed, the
tire pressure warning light will blink for
approximately 1 minute then illuminate and
“--” will be displayed
for the inflation pres-
sure of each tire on the multi-information
display.
6Drive at approximately 25 mph
(40 km/h) or more for approxi-
mately 10 to 30 minutes.
Registration is complete when the tire
pressure warning light turns off and the
inflation pressure of each tire is displayed
on the multi-information display.
Even if the vehicle is not driven at approxi-
mately 25 mph (40 km/h) or more, regis-
tration can be completed by driving for a
long time. However, if registration does not
complete after driving for 1 hour or more,
perform the procedure again from the
beginning.
7Initialize the tire pressure warning
system. ( P.334)
■When registering ID codes
●ID code registration is performed while
driving at a vehicle speed of approxi-
mately 25 mph (40 km/h) or more.
●Before performing ID code registration,
make sure that no wheels with tire pres-
sure warning valve and transmitters
installed are near the vehicle.
●Make sure to initializ e 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.
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.

Maintenance and care
●ID codes can be registered by yourself,
but depending on the driving conditions
and driving environment, registration
may take some time to complete.
■Canceling ID code registration
●To cancel ID code registration after it has
been started, turn the power 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 power
switch off before driving.
●If ID code registration has been canceled,
the tire pressure warning light will blink
for approximately 1 minute when the
power switch is turned to ON mode and
then illuminate. The tire pressure warning
system will be operational 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-
celed correctly. To cancel registration,
perform the ID code registration start
procedure again and then turn the power
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. Nor-
mally, registration completes within
approximately 30 minutes.
• Vehicle is not parked for approximately 20 minutes or more before driving
• Vehicle is not driven at approximately 25
mph (40 km/h) or more
• Vehicle is driven on unpaved roads
• Vehicle is driven near other vehicles and
system cannot recognize tire pressure
warning valve and tran smitters of your
vehicle over those of other vehicles
• Wheel with tire pressure warning valve and transmitter installed is inside or near
the vehicle
If registration does not complete after driv-
ing for 1 hour or more, perform the ID code
registration procedure again from the
beginning.
●If the vehicle is reve rsed during registra-
tion, the data up to that point is reset, so perform the registration procedure again
from the beginning.
●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 performing the above proce-
dure, contact your Lexus dealer.
