4-3. Do-it-yourself maintenance
■If you press the tire pressure warning reset switch accidentally
If initialization is performed, adjust the tire inflation pressure to the specified level 
and initialize the tire pressure warning system again.
■When the initialization of the tire pressure warning system has failed
Initialization can be completed in a few  minutes. However, in the following cases, 
the settings have not been recorded and the system will not operate properly. If 
repeated attempts to record tire inflation pressure settings are unsuccessful, have 
the vehicle inspected by your Lexus dealer.
●When operating the tire pressure warnin g reset switch, the tire pressure warn-
ing light does not flash 3 times and the  setting message does not appear on the 
multi-information display. 
●After carrying out the initialization procedure, the tire pressure warning light 
flashes for 1 minute then stays on after driving for 20 minutes.

5-2. Steps to take in an emergency
■Electric power steering warning light (warning buzzer)
The electric power steering warning light comes on and the warning buzzer sounds 
when the voltage is low or the voltage drops.
■If the malfunction indicator lamp comes on while driving
First check the following:
●Is the fuel tank empty?  
If it is, fill the fuel tank immediately.
●Is the fuel tank cap loose?  
If it is, tighten it securely.
The light will go off after several driving trips. 
If the light does not go off even after several trips, contact your Lexus dealer as soon 
as possible.
■When the tire pressure warning light comes on
Check the tire inflation pressure and adjust to the appropriate level. Pushing the tire 
pressure warning reset switch will not turn off the tire pressure warning light.
■The tire pressure warning light may come on due to natural causes
The tire pressure warning light may come on due to natural causes such as natural 
air leaks and tire inflation pressure chan ges caused by temperature. In this case, 
adjusting the tire inflation pressure will turn off the warning light (after a few min-
utes).
■When a tire is replaced with a spare tire
The compact spare tire is not equipped with a tire pressure warning valve and trans-
mitter. If a tire goes flat, the tire pressure  warning light will not turn off even though 
the flat tire has been replaced with the spare tire. Replace the spare tire with the 
repaired tire and adjust the tire inflatio n pressure. The tire pressure warning light 
will go off after a few minutes.
■If the tire pressure warning system is not functioning
The tire pressure warning system will be disabled in the following conditions:
(When the condition becomes normal, the system will work properly.)
●If tires not equipped with tire pressure  warning valves and transmitters are used.
●If the ID code on the tire pressure warning valves and transmitters is not regis-
tered in the tire pressure warning computer.
●If the tire inflation pressure is 73 psi (500 kPa, 5.1 kgf/cm2 or bar) or higher.

●When your vehicle and the vehicle ahead are traveling at the same speed or the 
vehicle ahead is traveling more quickly than your vehicle
●When the vehicle ahead is traveling at a very low speed
●Immediately after cruise control speed is set

5-2. Steps to take in an emergency
Firmly tighten each wheel nut two 
or three times in the order shown 
in the illustration.
Tightening torque:
76 ft•lbf (103 N•m, 10.5 kgf•m)
Stow the flat tire, tire jack and all tools.
■The compact spare tire
●The compact spare tire is identified by the label “TEMPORARY USE ONLY” 
on the tire sidewall. 
Use the compact spare tire temporarily, and only in an emergency.
●Make sure to check the tire inflatio n pressure of the compact spare tire.  
(  P. 555 )
■After completing the tire change
The tire pressure warning system must be reset. ( P.
  4 3 9 )
■When using the compact spare tire
As the compact spare tire is not equipped with a tire pressure warning valve and 
tr
ansmitter, low inflation pressure of the spare tire will not be indicated by the tire 
pressure warning system. Also, if you repl ace the compact spare tire after the tire 
pressure warning light comes on, the light remains on.
■If you have a flat front tire on a road covered with snow or ice
Install the compact spare tire on one of the rear wheels of the vehicle. Perform the 
fo
 llowing steps and fit tire chains to the front tires:
Replace a rear tire with the compact spare tire.
Replace the flat front tire with the tire removed from the rear of the vehi -
cle.
Fit tire chains to the front tires.
