STARTING AND DRIVING
302
Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS
(tire pressure warning system) malfunction
indicator to indicate when the system is not
operating properly. The TPMS (tire pressure
warning system) malfunction indicator is combined
with the low tire pressure telltale (tire pressure
warning light). When the system detects a
malfunction, the telltale will flash for approximately
one minute and then remain continuously
illuminated. This sequence will continue upon
subsequent vehicle start−ups as long as the
malfunction exists. When the malfunction indicator
is illuminated, the system may not be able to
detect or signal low tire pressure as intended.
TPMS (tire pressure warning system) malfunction
may occur for a variety of reasons, including the
installation of replacement or alternate tires or
wheels on the vehicle that prevent the TPMS (tire
pressure warning system) from functioning
properly. Always check the TPMS (tire pressure
warning system) malfunction telltale after replacing
one or more tires or wheels on your vehicle to
ensure that the replacement and alternate tires and
wheels allow the TPMS (tire pressure warning
system) to continue to function properly.
NOTICE
D Do not use liquid sealants for a flat tire as tire
pressure warning valve and transmitter will be
damaged.
D When the tires must be repaired or replaced, have
them repaired or replaced by your Lexus dealer or an
authorized tire dealer. The tire pressure warning
valves and transmitters will be affected by the
installation or removal of tires.
