and transmitter ID codes registered by any authorized Lexus dealer or
repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional. ( P. 617)
◆Initializing the tire pressure warning system

stances:
●When the tire inflation pressure is changed such as when changing
traveling speed.
●When the tire inflation pressure is changed such as when the tire size is
changed.
●When rotating the tires
