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, and 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, consul t with your Lexus dealer.■
Replacing tires and wheels
If the ID code of the tire pressure warning valve and transmitter is not registered,
the tire pressure warning sy stem will not work properly. After driving for about 20
minutes, the tire pressure warning light come s on after blinking for 1 minute to indi-
cate a system malfunction. ■
When rotating the tires
Make sure that the “ENGINE START STOP” switch is off. If the tires are rotated
while the “ENGINE START STOP” switch is in IGNITION ON mode, the tire posi-
tion information will not be updated.
If this accidentally occurs, either turn the “ENGINE START STOP” switch to off
and then to IGNITION ON mode, or initia lize the system afte r checking that the
tire pressure is properly adjusted. ■
Tire life

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 pre ssure warning system again.■
The initialization operation ●
Make sure to carry out initialization afte r adjusting the tire inflation pressure.
Also, make sure the tires are cold before carrying out initialization or tire infla-
tion pressure adjustment. ●
If you have accidentally turned the “ENGINE START STOP” switch off during
initialization, it is not necessary to pre ss the reset switch again as initialization
will restart automatically when the “ENGINE START STOP” switch has been
turned to IGNITION ON mode for the next time. ●
If you accidentally press the reset switch when initialization is not necessary,
adjust the tire inflation pressure to th e specified level when the tires are cold,
and conduct initialization 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 se ttings are unsu ccessful, 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 initialization proc edure, the tire pressure warning light
blinks for 1 minute then stays on after driving for about 20 minutes.■
