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.

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.
