a vehicle speed of approximately 25 mph
(40 km/h) or more.
●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.
●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 accidentally turned the engine
switch off during initialization, it is not
necessary to manually restart the initial-
ization again, as initialization will restart
automatically the next time the engine
switch is turned to IGNITION ON mode.
●If you accidentally perform initialization
when initialization is not necessary, adjust
the tire inflation pres sure 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 completes 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 tran smitters of your
vehicle over those of other vehicles
If initialization does not 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.
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
