■Engine oil consumption
A certain amount of engine oil will be con-
sumed while driving. In the following situa- tions, oil consumption may increase, and
engine oil may need
to be refilled in
between oil maintenance intervals.
●When the engine is new, for example
directly after purchasing the vehicle or
after replacing the engine
●If low quality oil or oil of an inappropriate
viscosity is used
●When driving at high engine speeds or
with a heavy load, or when driving while
accelerating or dece lerating frequently

WARNING
■Used engine oil
●Used engine oil contains potentially

taken to avoid prolonged and
repeated contact. To remove used
engine oil from your skin, wash thor-
oughly with soap and water.

a dangerous loss of braking efficiency. Use
only newly opened brake fluid.
If any washer does not work or the
warning message appears on the
multi-information display, the washer
tank may be empty. Add washer fluid.
WARNING
■When filling the reservoir
Take care as brake fluid can harm your
hands and eyes and damage painted sur-
faces.
If fluid gets on your hands or in your eyes,
flush the affected area with clean water
immediately.
If you still experience discomfort, see a
doctor.
NOTICE
■If the fluid level is low or high
It is normal for the brake fluid level to go
down slightly as the brake pads wear out
or when the fluid level in the accumulator
is high.
If the reservoir need s frequent refilling,
there may be a serious problem.
Adding the washer fluid
WARNING
■When adding washer fluid
Do not add washer fluid when the engine
is hot or running as washer fluid contains
alcohol and may catch fire if spilled on
the engine, etc.
NOTICE
■Do not use any fluid other than
washer fluid
Do not use soapy water or engine anti-
freeze instead of washer fluid.
Doing so may cause streaking on the
vehicle’s painted surfaces, as well as
damaging the pump leading to problems
of the washer fluid not spraying.
■Diluting washer fluid
Dilute washer fluid with water as neces-
sary.
Refer to the freezing temperatures listed
on the label of the washer fluid bottle.

Maintenance and care
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.
Vehicles with front and rear tires of
differing sizes
Tires cannot be rotated.
For XXX/XXRXX size tires
When run-flat tires are installed, the
vehicle can be driven for a maximum of
50 miles (80 km) at a speed below 50
mph (80 km/h) after any tire goes flat.
(However, the vehicle speed may not
increase to near 50 mph [80 km/h]
depending on weather or driving con-
ditions.)
Make sure to replace th e flat tire before the
vehicle has been driven for near 50 miles
(80 km). Also, do not use a repaired tire.
For XXX/XXRFXX size tires
When run-flat tires are installed, the
vehicle can be driven for a maximum of
100 miles (160 km) at a speed below
50 mph (80 km/h) after any tire goes
flat. (However, the vehicle speed may
not increase to near 50 mph [80
km/h] depending on weather or driv-
ing conditions.)
Make sure to replace th e flat tire before the
vehicle has been driven for near 100 miles
(160 km). Also, do not use a repaired tire.
A run-flat tire has a or
mark on the side wall.
■Run-flat tires
●The run-flat tires are for only this vehicle.
Do not use the tires on other vehicles.
●Do not mix run-flat tires and normal tires.
●If non-genuine Lexus wheels are used, it
may be impossible to sufficiently demon-
strate the performance of run-flat tires.
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.
The tire pressure detected by the
tire pressure warning system can be
displayed on the multi-information
display. ( P.82)
If the tire pressure drops below a
predetermined level, the driver is
warned by a screen display and a
warning light. ( P.431)Run-flat tires

3966-3. Do-it-yourself maintenance
■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 engine
switch is turned to IGNITION ON mode.
It may also take a few minutes to display
the tire inflation pres sure after inflation
pressure has been adjusted.
●Tire inflation pressure changes with tem-
perature. The displayed values may also
be different from the values measured
using a tire pressure gauge.
■Situations in which the tire pressure
warning system may not operate prop-
erly
●In the following cases, the tire pressure
warning system may not operate prop-
erly.
• If non-genuine Lexus wheels are used.
• If a tire has been repl aced with a tire that
is not an OE (Original Equipment) tire.
• If a tire has been repl aced with a tire that
is not of the specified size.
• If tire chains, etc. are installed.
• An auxiliary-supported run-flat tire is equipped.
• If a window tint that affects the radio wave signals is installed.
• If there is a lot of snow or ice on the vehi-
cle, particularly around the wheels or
wheel housings.
• If the tire inflation pressure is much higher
than the specified level.
• If wheels not equipped with tire pressure warning valves and tr ansmitter are used.
• If the ID code on the tire pressure warn- ing valves and transmitters is not regis-
tered in the tire pressure warning
computer.
●Performance may be affected in the fol-
lowing situations.
• When driving near a TV tower, electric
power plant, gas station, radio station,
large display, airport or other facility that
generates strong radio waves or electri- cal noise
• When carrying a portable radio, cellular phone, cordless phone or other wireless
communication device
If tire position information is not correctly
displayed due to the radio wave conditions,
the display may be corrected by changing
the location of the vehicle as the radio wave
conditions may change.
●When the vehicle is stopped, the time
taken for the warning to start or turn off
may be longer.
●When the inflation pressure of a tire
drops rapidly, for example when a tire has
burst, the warning may not operate.
■Warning performance of the tire pres-
sure warning system
The warning of the tire pressure warning
system will change in accordance with driv-
ing conditions. For this reason, the system
may give a warning even if the tire pressure
does not reach a low enough level, or if the
pressure is higher than the pressure that
was adjusted to when the system was initial-
ized.

Maintenance and care
■The tire pressure warning system
must be initialized in the following
circumstances:
When the tire inflation pressure is
changed such as when changing
traveling speed or load weight.
When the tire inflation pressure is
changed such as when the tire size
is changed.
When rotating the tires.
After performing the transmitter ID
code registration procedure.
( P.400)
When the tire pressure warning system
is initialized, the cu rrent tire inflation
pressure is set as the benchmark pres-
sure.
■How to initialize the tire pressure
warning system
1 Park the vehicle in a safe place, turn
the engine switch off and wait 20
minutes or more.
The initialization procedure cannot be
started while the vehicle is moving.
2Adjust the tire inflation pressure to
the specified cold tire inflation pres-
sure level.
Make sure to adjust th e tire pressure to the
specified cold tire infl ation pressure level.
The tire pressure warning system will oper-
ate based on this pressure level.
3 Start the engine.
4 Press or of the meter con-
trol switch to select . 5
Press or to select “Vehicle
Settings” and then press .
6 Press or to select “TPWS”
and then press .
7 Press or to select “Set
Pressure”. Then press and hold
until the tire pressure warning light
blinks 3 times.
Then a message will be displayed on the
multi-information display.
“---” will be displayed on the multi-informa-
tion display for the inflation pressure of
each tire while initialization is being per-
formed.
8Drive straight (with occasional left
and right turns) at approximately
25 mph (40 km/h) or more for
approximately 10 to 30 minutes.
Initialization is comple te when the position
of each tire is determ ined and the inflation
pressure of each tire is displayed on the
multi-information display.
Initialization may take longer than normal
to complete if the vehicle speed cannot be
maintained at approx imately 25 mph (40
km/h) or more. If initialization cannot be
completed after driving for 1 hour or more,
park the vehicle in a safe place, turn the
engine switch off and wait 20 minutes or
more before performing the driving proce-
dure again. ( P.400)
