empty. If the fuel tank is empty, refuel the vehicle immediately. The malfunction indi-
cator lamp will go off after several trips.
If the malfunction indicator lamp does not go off, contact any authorized Lexus
dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional as soon as
possible.
■When the tire pressure warning light comes on
Carry out the following procedure after the tire temperature has lowered sufficiently.
●Check the tire inflation pressure and adjust it to the appropriate level.
●If the warning light does not go out after several minutes, check that the tire infla-
tion pressure is at the specified level and carry out initialization.
The warning light may come on again if the above operations are conducted without
first allowing the tire temperature to lower sufficiently.
■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 changes caused by temperature. In this case,

■When a tire is replaced with a spare tire (vehicles with a spare tire)
The spare tire is also equipped with a tire pressure warning valve and transmitter. The
tire pressure warning light will turn on if the tire inflation pressure of the spare tire is
low. 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.
■Conditions that the tire pressure warning system may not function properly
P. 511
■If the tire pressure warning light frequently comes on after blinking for 1 minute
If the tire pressure warning light frequently comes on after blinking for 1 minute when
the power switch is turned to ON mode, have it checked by any authorized Lexus

CAUTION
■If both the ABS and the brake system warning lights remain on
Stop your vehicle in a safe place immediately and contact any authorized Lexus
dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional. The vehicle
will become extremely unstable during braking, and the ABS system may fail,
which could cause an accident resulting in death or serious injury.
■When the electric power steering system warning light comes on
The steering wheel may become extremely heavy.
If the steering wheel becomes heavier than usual when operating, hold firmly and
operate using more force than usual.
■If the tire pressure warning light comes on
Be sure to observe the following precautions. Failure to do so could cause a loss of
vehicle control and result in death or serious injury.
●As the tire inflation pressure may be low when this warning light is illuminated,
stop your vehicle in a safe place as soon as possible and adjust the tire inflation
pressure immediately.
●If the tire pressure warning light comes on even after tire inflation pressure adjust-
ment, it is probable that you have a flat tire. Check the tires. If a tire is flat, change
it with the spare tire and have the flat tire repaired by the nearest any authorized
Lexus dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional.
●Avoid abrupt maneuvering and braking. If the vehicle tires deteriorate, you could
lose control of the steering wheel or the brakes.
■If a blowout or sudden air leakage should occur
The tire pressure warning system may not activate immediately.
NOTICE
■To ensure the tire pressure warning system operates properly
Do not install tires with different specifications or makers, as the tire pressure warn-
ing system may not operate properly.

LS600h/LS600hL_EE(OM50G20E)
Inflate the tire until the recom-
mended pressure is reached.
The sealant will be injected and
the pressure will spike to 300
kPa (3.0 kgf/cm2 or bar, 44
psi) or 400 kPa (4.0 kgf/cm2
or bar, 58 psi), then gradually
decrease.
The air pressure gauge will dis-
play the actual tire inflation
pressure about 1 minute (15
minutes at low temperature)
after the switch is turned on.
• Turn the compressor switch off
and then check the tire inflation
pressure. Being careful not to
over inflate, check and repeat
the inflation procedure until the
recommended tire inflation
pressure is reached.
• If the tire inflation pressure is still
lower than the recommended
level after inflation for 10 min-
utes (35 minutes at low tem-
perature) with the switch on, the
tire is too damaged to be
repaired. Turn the compressor
switch off and contact any
authorized Lexus dealer or
repairer, or anot her duly quali-
fied and equipped professional.
• If the tire inflation pressure
exceeds the recommended
level, let out some air to adjust
the tire inflation pressure.

■If the tire is inflated to more than the recommended level
Disconnect the hose from the valve.
Disconnect the hose from the valve, remove the air release cap from the hose and
then reconnect the hose.
Turn the compressor switch on and wait for several seconds, then turn it off. Check
that the air pressure indicator shows the recommended level. ( P. 630)
If the air pressure is lower than the recommended level, turn the compressor
switch on again and repeat the inflation procedure until the recommended pres-
sure is reached.
■After a tire is repaired with the emergency tire puncture repair kit
●The tire pressure warning valve and transmitter should be replaced.
●Even if the tire inflation pressure is at the recommended level, the tire pressure
warning light may come on/flash.
■Note for checking the emergency tire puncture repair kit
Check the sealant expiry date occasionally.
The expiry date is shown on the bottle. Do not use sealant whose expiry date has
already passed. Otherwise, repairs conducted using the emergency tire puncture
repair kit may not be performed properly.

CAUTION
■When fixing the flat tire
●Stop your vehicle in a safe and flat area.
●Do not touch the wheels or the area around the brakes immediately after the
vehicle has been driven.
After the vehicle has been driven, the wheels and the area around the brakes may
be extremely hot. Touching these areas with hands, feet or other body parts may
result in burns.
●Connect the valve and hose securely with the tire installed on the vehicle.
●If the hose is not properly connected to the valve, air leakage may occur or seal-
ant may be sprayed out.
●If the hose comes off the valve while inflating the tire, there is a risk that the hose
will move abruptly due to air pressure.
●After inflation of the tire has completed, the sealant may splatter when the hose is
disconnected or some air is let out of the tire.
●Follow the operation procedure to repair th e tire. If the procedure is not followed,
the sealant may spray out.
●Keep back from the tire while it is being repaired, as there is a chance of it burst-
ing while the repair operation is being performed. If you notice any cracks or
deformation of the tire, turn off the comp ressor switch and stop the repair opera-
tion immediately.
●The kit may overheat if operated for a long period of time. Do not operate the
compressor continuously for more than 35 minutes.
●Parts of the kit become hot during operation. Be careful handling the kit during
and after operation. Do not touch the metal part around the connecting area
between the bottle and compressor. It will be extremely hot.
●Do not attach the vehicle speed warning sticker to an area other than the one
indicated. If the sticker is attached to an area where an SRS airbag is located,
such as the pad of the steering wheel, it may prevent the SRS air bag from operat-
ing properly.

CAUTION
■Driving to spread the liquid sealant evenly
●Drive the vehicle carefully at a low speed. Be especially careful when turning and
cornering.
●If the vehicle does not drive straight or you feel a pull through the steering wheel,
stop the vehicle and check the following:
• Tire condition. The tire may have separated from the wheel.
• Tire inflation pressure. If tire inflation pressure is 130 kPa (1.3 kgf/cm2 o r b a r , 1 9
psi) or below, this may indicate severe tire damage.
