When trouble arises
Your vehicle has also been equipped
with a TPMS (tire pressure warning sys-
tem) malfunction indicator to indicate
when the system is not operating prop-
erly. The TPMS (tire pressure warning
system) malfunction indicator is com-
bined 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 illumi-
nated. This sequence will continue upon
subsequent vehicle start-ups as long as
the malfunction exists. When the mal-
function indicator is illuminated, the sys-
tem may not be able to detect or signal
low tire pressure as intended.
TPMS (tire pressure warning system)
malfunctions 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 or alter-
nate tires and wheels allow the TPMS
(tire pressure warning system) to con-
tinue to function properly.
■ To ensure the tire pressure warning
system operates properly
Do not install tires with different specifi-
cations or makers, as the tire pressure
warning system may not operate prop-
erly.
If a warning message is dis-
played
The multi-information display
shows warnings of system malfunc-
tions, incorrectly performed opera-
tions, and messages that indicate a
need for maintenance. When a
message is shown, perform the cor-
rection procedure appropriate to
the message.
If a warning message is displayed
again after the appropriate actions
have been performed, contact your
Lexus dealer.
