When replacing the tires and wheels

If the ID code of the tire pressure warning

valve and transmitter is not registered, the

tire pressure warning system will not work

properly. After driving for about 20 min-

utes, the tire pressure warning light blinks

for 1 minute and stays on to indicate a sys-

tem malfunction.

■

The tire pressure warning system
must be initialized in the following
circumstances:

 When rotating the tires.
 When the tire inflation pressure is

changed such as when changing tire
size. (When there are multiple spec-
ified pressures)

 After registering the ID codes.

(

P.335)

When the tire pressure warning system
is initialized, the current tire inflation
pressure is set as the benchmark pres-
sure.

Drive at approximately 25 mph
(40 km/h) or more for approxi-
mately 10 to 30 minutes.

When initialization is complete, the infla-

tion pressure of each tire will be displayed

on the multi-information display.
Even if the vehicle is not driven at approxi-

mately 25 mph (40 km/h) or more, initial-

ization can be completed by driving for a

long time. However, if initialization does not

complete after driving for 1 hour or more,

park the vehicle in a safe place for approxi-

mately 20 minutes and then drive the vehi-

cle again.

■

When initializing

●

Initialization is performed while driving at

a vehicle speed of approximately 25 mph

(40 km/h) or more.

●

Make sure to carry out initialization after

adjusting the tire inflation pressure. Also,

make sure the tires are cold before carry-

ing out initialization or tire inflation pres-

sure adjustment.

●

The tire pressure warning system can be

initialized by yourself, but depending on

the driving conditions and driving envi-

ronment, initialization may take some

time to complete.

■

The initialization operation

●

If you have accidentally turned the engine

switch off during initialization, it is not

necessary to manually restart the initial-

ization again, as initialization will restart

automatically the next time the engine

switch is turned to ON.

●

If you accidentally perform initialization

when initialization is not necessary, adjust

the tire inflation pressure to the specified

level when the tires are cold, and conduct

initialization again.

●

While the position of each tire is being

determined and the inflation pressures

are not being displayed on the multi-

information display, if the inflation pres-

sure of a tire drops, the tire pressure

warning light will come on.

■

If the tire pressure warning system is not

initialized properly

●

In the following situations, initialization

may take longer than usual to be com-

pleted or may not be possible. Normally,

initialization completes within approxi-

mately 30 minutes.

• Vehicle is not driven at approximately 25

mph (40 km/h) or more

• Vehicle is driven on unpaved roads

• Vehicle is driven near other vehicles and

system cannot recognize tire pressure

warning valve and transmitters of your

vehicle over those of other vehicles

If initialization does not complete after driv-
ing for 1 hour or more, park the vehicle in a
safe place for approximately 20 minutes
and then drive the vehicle again.

●

If the vehicle is reversed during initializa-

tion, the data up to that point is reset, so

perform the initialization procedure

again from the beginning.

●

In the following situations, initialization

will not be started or was not completed

6-3. Do-it-yourself maintenance

more than 1 mile or 1.5 km, you will get an

accurate cold tire inflation pressure read-

ing.

●

Always use a tire pressure gauge.

It is difficult to judge if a tire is properly

inflated based only on its appearance.

●

It is normal for the tire inflation pressure

to be higher after driving as heat is gen-

erated in the tire. Do not reduce tire infla-

tion pressure after driving.

●

Never exceed the vehicle capacity

weight.

Passengers and luggage weight should

be placed so that the vehicle is balanced.

WARNING

■

Proper inflation is critical to save tire

performance

Keep your tires properly inflated.

If the tires are not properly inflated, the

following conditions may occur which

could lead to an accident resulting in

death or serious injury:

●

Excessive wear

●

Uneven wear

●

Poor handling

●

Possibility of blowouts resulting from

overheated tires

●

Air leaking from between tire and

wheel

●

Wheel deformation and/or tire dam-

age

●

Greater possibility of tire damage

while driving (due to road hazards,

expansion joints, sharp edges in the

road, etc.)

NOTICE

■

When inspecting and adjusting tire

inflation pressure

Be sure to put the tire valve caps back on.

If a valve cap is not installed, dirt or mois-

ture may get into the valve and cause an

air leak, resulting in decreased tire infla-

tion pressure.

.

Replacement wheels are available at
your Lexus dealer.

*

: Conventionally referred to as offset.

Lexus does not recommend using the
following:
 Wheels of different sizes or types
 Used wheels
 Bent wheels that have been straight-

ened

■

When replacing wheels

The wheels of your vehicle are equipped

with tire pressure warning valves and trans-

mitters that allow the tire pressure warning

system to provide advance warning in the

event of a loss in tire inflation pressure.

Whenever wheels are replaced, tire pres-

sure warning valves and transmitters must

be installed. (

P.332)

 Use only Lexus wheel nuts and

wrenches designed for use with
your aluminum wheels.

 When rotating, repairing or chang-

ing your tires, check that the wheel
nuts are still tight after driving 1000
miles (1600 km).

 Be careful not to damage the alumi-

num wheels when using tire chains.

 Use only Lexus genuine balance

weights or equivalent and a plastic
or rubber hammer when balancing
your wheels.

Wheels

If a wheel is bent, cracked or heavily
corroded, it should be replaced.
Otherwise, the tire may separate
from the wheel or cause a loss of
handling control.

Wheel selection

WARNING

■

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 a

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 acci-

dent, 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
