Registering ID codes
The tire pressure warning valve and transmitter is equipped with a unique ID
code. When replacing a tire pressure warning valve and transmitter, it is nec-
essary to register the ID code. Have the ID code registered by your Lexus
dealer.
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, consult 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 system will not work properly. After driving for about 20 minutes, the
tire pressure warning light blinks for 1 minute and stays on to indicate a system malfunc-
tion.
Tire life
■
Any tire over 6 years old must be checked by a qualified technician even if it has seldom
or never been used or damage is not obvious.
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.
