When trouble arises
8375-2. Steps to take in an emergency
LX570_OM_OM60L96U_(U) CAUTIONYour vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS (tire pressure warning system)
malfunction indicator to indi cate when the system is not operating properly. The
TPMS (tire pressure warning system) malf unction indicator is combined with the
low tire pressure telltale (tire pressure warning light). When the system detects a
malfunction, the telltale will flash for approximately one minute and then remain
continuously illuminated. This sequence will continue upon subsequent vehicle
start-ups as long as the malfunction exists . When the malfunction indicator is illumi-
nated, the system may not be able to detect or signal low tire pressure as intended.
TPMS (tire pressure warning system) malf unctions may occur for a variety of rea-
sons, including the installation of replaceme nt or alternate tires or wheels on the
vehicle that prevent the TPMS (tire pre ssure warning system) from functioning
properly. Always check the TPMS (tire pressure warning system) malfunction tell-
tale after replacing one or more tires or wh eels on your vehicle to ensure that the
replacement or alternate tires and wheels allow the TPMS (tire pressure warning
system) to continue to function properly.
NOTICE■
To ensure the tire pressure warning system operates properly
Do not install tires with different specificat ions or marks, as the tire pressure warn-
ing system may not operate properly.
