LX570_OM_OM60L21U_(U) Tires Replace or rotate tires in accordance with tread wear.
■ Checking tires
New tread
Treadwear indicator
Worn tread The location of treadwear indi-
cators is shown by the “TWI” or
“ ” marks, etc., molded on the
sidewall of each tire.
Check spare tire condition and
inflation pressure if not rotated.
■ Tire rotation
Rotate the tires in the order
shown. To equalize tire wear and extend
tire life, Lexus recommends that
tire rotation is carried out at the
same interval as tire inspection.
Do not fail to initialize the tire
pressure warning system after
rotating the tires that the tire
pressure has been changed for
towing. (  P. 76 3 )
■ The tire pressure warning system
Your Lexus is equipped with a tire pressure warning system that uses
tire pressure warning valves and tr ansmitters to detec t low tire infla-
tion pressure before serious problems arise. (  P. 8 2 4 )Front

LX570_OM_OM60L21U_(U) Installing tire pressure warning valves and transmitters
When replacing tires or wheels, tire pressure warning valves and trans-
mitters must also be installed.
When new tire pressure warning va lves and transmitters are installed,
new tire pressure warning valve and transmitter ID codes must be regis-
tered in the tire pressure warning computer and tire pressure warning
system must be initialized. Have tire pressure warning valve and transmit-
ter ID codes registered by your Lexus dealer. (  P. 76 4 )
Initializing the tire pressure warning system
■ The tire pressure warning system must be initialized in the following
circumstances:
● When the set tire pressure has been changed before towing.
(  P. 8 8 9 )
● When rotating the tires in above situation.
When the tire pressure warning sy stem is initialized, the current tire
inflation pressure is set as the benchmark pressure.

LX570_OM_OM60L21U_(U) ■ How to initialize the tire pressure warning system
Park the vehicle in safe plac e and turn the “ENGINE START
STOP” switch to OFF. While the vehicle is moving, initialization is not performed.
Adjust the tire inflation pressure to the specified co ld tire inflation
pressure level. (  P. 8 8 9 )Make sure to adjust the tire pressure to the specified cold tire inflation
pressure level. The tire pressure warning system will operate based on
this pressure level.
Turn the “ENGINE START STOP” switch to IGNITION ON
mode.
Push and hold the tire pressure
warning reset switch until the tire
pressure warning light blinks
slowly 3 times and a message
appears on the multi-information
display.
Wait for a few minutes with the IGNITION ON mode, and then
turn the “ENGINE START STOP” switch to OFF.
Registering ID codes
The tire pressure warning valve and transmitter is equipped with a unique
ID code. When replacing a tire pressu re warning valve and transmitter, it
is necessary to register the ID code of tire pressure warning valve and
transmitter. Have the ID code re gistered by your Lexus dealer.STEP 1

When to replace your vehicle’s tires
Tires should be replaced if: ●
You have tire damage such as cuts, splits, cracks deep enough to expose the
fabric or bulges indicating internal damage ●
A tire goes flat repeatedly or cannot be properly repaired due to the size or
location of a cut or other damage
If you are not sure, consult with your Lexus dealer. ■
Replacing tires and wheels
If the ID code of the tire pressure warn ing valve and transmitter is not registered,
the tire pressure warning system will not work properly. After driving for about 20
minutes, the tire pressure warning light comes on after blinking for 1 minute to indi-
cate a system malfunction. ■
Tire life
Any tire over 6 years old must be checked by a qualified technician even if they
have seldom or never been used or damage is not obvious. ■
If the tread wears down 0.16 in. (4 mm) or more on snow tires
The effectiveness of snow tires is lost.

LX570_OM_OM60L21U_(U) ■
Initializing the tire pressure warning system
Initialize the tire pressure warning system with the tire inflation pressure adjusted to
the specified level. ■
If you push the tire pressure warning reset switch accidentally
If initialization is performed, adjust the ti re 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 blink 3 times and the setting message does not appear on the
multi-information display. ●
After carrying out the initia lization procedure, the tire pressure warning light
blinks for 1 minute then stays on after driving for about 20 minutes.■
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 pressure warning system operation
The tire pressure warning system may not provide warning immediately if a tire
bursts or if sudden air leakage occurs. ■
When inspecting or replacing tires
Observe the following precautions to prevent accidents.
Failure to do so may cause da mage to parts of the drive tr ain, as well as dangerous
handling characteristics, which may lead to an accident resulting in death or serious
injury. ●
Do not mix tires of different makes, models or tread patterns.
Also, do not mix tires of remarkably different treadwear. ●
Do not use tire sizes other th an those recommended by Lexus.●
Do not mix differently constructed tires (radial, bias-belted or bias-ply tires). ●
Do not mix summer, all season and snow tires. ●
Do not use tires that have been used on another vehicle.
Do not use tires if you do not know how they were used previously. ■
When initializing the tire pressure warning system
Do not push the tire pressure warning reset switch without first adjusting the tire
inflation pressure to the specified level. Otherwise, the tire pressure warning light
may not come on even if the tire inflation pressure is low, or it may come on when
the tire inflation pressure is actually normal.

LX570_OM_OM60L21U_(U) NOTICE■
Repairing or replacing tires, wheels, tire pressure warning valves and transmit-
ters and tire valve caps ●
When removing or fitting the wheels, tires or the tire pressure warning valve and
transmitter, contact your Lexus dealer as the tire pressure warning valve and
transmitter may be damaged if not handled correctly. ●
Make sure to install the tire valve caps. If the tire valve caps are not installed,
water could enter the tire pressure warning valves and the tire pressure warning
valves could be bound. ●
When replacing tire valve caps, do not us e tire valve caps other than those speci-
fied. The cap may become stuck.■
To avoid damage to the tire pressure warning valves and transmitters
When a tire is repaired with liquid seal ants, the tire pressure warning valve and
transmitter may not operate properly. If a liquid sealant is used, contact your Lexus
dealer or other qualified service shop as so on as possible. Make sure to replace the
tire pressure warning valve and transmitter when replacing the tire. (  P. 76 3 )■
Driving on rough roads
Take particular care when driving on roads with loose surfaces or potholes.
These conditions may cause losses in tire inflation pressure, reducing the cushion-
ing ability of the tires. In addition driving on rough roads may cause damage to the
tires themselves, as well as the vehicle’s wheels and body.■
If tire inflation pressures become low while driving
Do not continue driving, or your tires and/or wheels may be ruined.

7764-3. Do-it-yourself maintenance
LX570_OM_OM60L21U_(U) ■
When replacing wheels
The wheels of your Lexus are equipped with tire pressure warning valves and trans-
mitters that allow the tire pressure warning system to provide advanced warning in
the event of a loss in tire inflation pres sure. Whenever wheels are replaced, the tire
pressure warning valves and transmitters must be installed. (  P. 76 3 )
CAUTION■
When replacing wheels ●
Do not use wheels that are a different size from those recommended in the
Owner’s Manual, as this may result in loss of handling control.●
Never use an inner tube in a leaking wheel which is designed for a tubeless tire.
Doing so may result in an accident , causing death or serious injury.■
Use of defective wheels prohibited
Do not use cracked or deformed wheels.
Doing so could cause the tire to leak air during driving, possibly causing an acci-
dent.
NOTICE■
Replacing tire pressure warning valves and transmitters ●
Because tire repair or replacement may affect the tire pressure warning valves
and transmitters, make sure to have tires serviced by your Lexus dealer or other
qualified service shop. In addition, make sure to purchase your tire pressure
warning valves and transmitters at your Lexus dealer. ●
Ensure that only genuine Lexus wheels are used on your vehicle.
Tire pressure warning valves and transmitters may not work properly with non-
genuine wheels.
