TPMS reset LEXUS LX470 2006 Owners Manual

STARTING AND DRIVING
301
The tire pressure warning light may turn on due to natural
causes such as natural air l
eaks or tire inflation pressure
changes caused by temperature. In this case, adjusting the
tire inflation pressure will turn off the light.
Pushing the tire pressure warning reset switch should not turn
off the tire pressure warning light. Adjusting the tire inflation
pressure will turn off the light.
The spare tire is also equipped with the 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, even though the flat tire is replaced with the spare
tire, the warning light does not turn off. Replace the spare tire
with the repaired tire and adjust the proper tire inflation
pressure. The tire pressure warning light will turn off after a few
minutes.
CAUTION
Each tire, including the spare (if provided), should be
checked monthly when cold and inflated to the inflation
pressure recommended by the vehicle manufacturer on
the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label (tire
and load information label). (If your vehicle has tires of
a different size than the size indicated on the vehicle
placard or tire inflation pressure label (tire and load
information label), you should determine the proper tire
inflation pressure for those tires.)
As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been
equipped with a tire pressure monitoring system
(TPMS–tire pressure warning system) that illuminates a
low tire pressure telltale (tire pressure warning light)
when one or more of your tires is significantly
underinflated. Accordingly, when the low tire pressure
telltale (tire pressure warning light) illuminates, you
should stop and check your tires as soon as possible,
and inflate them to the proper pressure. Driving on a
significantly underinflated tire causes the tire to
overheat and can lead to tire failure. Underinflation
also reduces fuel efficiency and tire tread life, and may
affect the vehicle’s handling and stopping ability.
Please note that the TPMS (tire pressure warning
system) is not a substitute for proper tire maintenance,
and it is the driver’s responsibility to maintain correct
tire pressure, even if underinflation has not reached
the level to trigger illumination of the TPMS low tire
pressure telltale (tire pressure warning light).
