Maintenance and care
Front
Your vehicle is equipped with a tire
pressure warning system that uses tire
pressure warning valves and transmit-
ters to detect low tire inflation pressure
before serious problems arise.
 If the tire pressure drops below a
predetermined level, the driver is
warned by a warning light.
( P.372)
 The tire pressure detected by the
tire pressure warning system can be
displayed on the multi-information
display.
■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.
■Situations in which the tire pressure
warning system may not operate prop-
erly
●In the following cases, the tire pressure
warning system may not operate prop-
erly.
• If non-genuine Lexus wheels are used.
• A tire has been replaced with a tire that is not an OE (Original Equipment) tire.
• A tire has been replaced with a tire that is not of the specified size.

• If a window tint that affects the radio wave signals is installed.
• If there is a lot of snow or ice on the vehi-
cle, particularly around the wheels or
wheel housings.
• If the tire inflation pressure is extremely
higher than the specified level.
• If wheel without the tire pressure warning valve and transmitter is used.
• If the ID code on the tire pressure warn- ing valves and transmitters is not regis-
tered in the tire pressure warning
computer.
●Performance may be af fected in the fol-
lowing situations.

pas exagérément usées.
Entretien et soin
WARNING
Respectez les précautions suivantes afin
de réduire le risque de blessure en cas
de freinage brusque, d’embardée ou
d’accident.
À défaut, des blessures graves, voire
mortelles, pourraient s’ensuivre.
■Port de la ceinture de sécurité
●Ne pas passer la sangle diagonale
sous le bras.
●Faites toujours passer votre ceinture
de sécurité au plus bas sur vos
hanches et bien dans l’axe.
■État et usure des ceintures de sécu-
rité
Inspectez les ceinture s de sécurité péri-
odiquement. Contrôle z qu’elles ne sont
pas entaillées, effilochées, et que leurs
ancrages ne sont pas desserrés. Ne pas
utiliser une ceinture de sécurité
défectueuse avant qu’elle ne soit rem-
placée. Une ceinture de sécurité
défectueuse n’apporte aucune garantie
de protection de l’occupant contre des
blessures graves, voire mortelles.
■Lorsque vous utilisez la ceinture de
sécurité du siège central arrière

Boîtier électronique de coussins gonflables
Votre véhicule est équipé de COUSSINS GONFLABLES INTELLIGENTS
(ADVANCED AIRBAGS) conçus selon les normes de sécurité américaines applicables
aux véhicules à moteur (FMVSS208). Le boît ier électronique de coussins gonflables
(ECU) utilise les informations reçues des capteu rs, etc. détaillés dans le schéma ci-dessus
de composition du système pour commander le déploiement des coussins gonflables. Ces
informations comprennent des in formations sur la gravité de la collision et les occupants.
Le déploiement rapide des coussins gonflables est obtenu au moyen d’une réaction
chimique dans les dispositifs pyrotechniques, qui produit un gaz inoffensif permettant
d’amortir le mouvement des occupants.
