coolant reservoir caps, drain cock and 

WARNING

Used engine oil

Used engine oil contains potentially 

harmful contaminants which may 

cause skin disorders such as inflamma-

tion and skin cancer, so care should be 

taken to avoid prolonged and 

repeated contact. To remove used 

engine oil from your skin, wash thor-

oughly with soap and water.

Dispose of used oil and filters only in a 

safe and acceptable manner. Do not 

dispose of used oil and filters in house-

hold trash, in sewers or onto the 

ground. 

Call your Lexus dealer, service station 

or auto parts store for information 

concerning recycling or disposal.

Do not leave used engine oil within the 

reach of children.

NOTICE

To prevent serious engine damage

Check the oil level on a regular basis.

When replacing the engine oil

Be careful not to spill engine oil on the 

vehicle components.

Brake fluid can absorb moisture from 

the air

Excess moisture in the brake fluid can 

cause a dangerous loss of braking effi-

ciency. Use only newly opened brake fluid.

WARNING

When the engine is hot

Do not remove the engine coolant reser-

voir cap or the coolant inlet cap. 

(

P.341)

The cooling system may be under pres-

sure and may spray hot coolant if the cap 

is removed, causing serious injuries, such 

as burns.

NOTICE

When adding coolant

Coolant is neither plain water nor 

straight antifreeze. The correct mixture 

of water and antifreeze must be used to 

provide proper lubrication, corrosion 

protection and cooling. Be sure to read 

the antifreeze or coolant label.

If you spill coolant

Be sure to wash it off with water to pre-

vent it from damaging parts or paint.

6-3. Do-it-yourself maintenance

If any washer does not work or “Wind-
shield Washer Fluid Low” is shown on 
the multi-information display, the 
washer tank may be empty. Add 
washer fluid.

WARNING

When filling the reservoir

Take care as brake fluid can harm your 

hands and eyes and damage painted sur-

faces.

If fluid gets on your hands or in your eyes, 

flush the affected area with clean water 

immediately.
If you still experience discomfort, see a 

doctor.

NOTICE

If the fluid level is low or high

It is normal for the brake fluid level to go 

down slightly as the brake pads wear out 

or when the fluid level in the accumulator 

is high.

If the reservoir needs frequent refilling, 

there may be a serious problem.

Checking and adding the washer 
fluid

WARNING

When adding washer fluid

Do not add washer fluid when the engine 

is hot or running as washer fluid contains 

alcohol and may catch fire if spilled on 

the engine etc.

NOTICE

Do not use any fluid other than 

washer fluid

Do not use soapy water or engine anti-

freeze instead of washer fluid.

Doing so may cause streaking on the 

vehicle’s painted surfaces, as well as 

damaging the pump leading to problems 

of the washer fluid not spraying.

Diluting washer fluid

Dilute washer fluid with water as neces-

sary. 

Refer to the freezing temperatures listed

engine switch turned off. However, the 

engine will operate normally from the 

second attempt.

The engine switch mode is recorded by 

the vehicle. If the battery is reconnected, 

the vehicle will return the engine switch 

mode to the status it was in before the 

battery was disconnected. Make sure to 

turn off the engine switch before discon-

nect the battery. Take extra care when 

connecting the battery if the engine 

switch mode prior to discharge is

tors are showing on a tire.

When to replace your vehicle’s tires

Tires should be replaced if:

The treadwear indicators are showing on 

a tire.

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 loca-

tion of a cut or other damage

If you are not sure, consult your Lexus 

dealer.

Tire life

Any tire over 6 years old must be checked 

by a qualified technician even if it has sel-

dom or never been used or damage is not 

obvious.

Low profile tires (21-inch tires)

Generally, low profile tires will wear more 

rapidly and tire grip performance will be 

reduced on snowy and/or icy roads when 

compared to standard tires. Be sure to use 

snow tires on snowy and/or icy roads and 

drive carefully at a speed appropriate for 

road and weather conditions.

Maximum load of tire

Check that the maximum load of the 

replacement tire is greater than 1/2 of the 

Gross Axle Weight Ratings (GAWR) of 

either the front axle or the rear axle, which-

ever is greater.
For the GAWR, see the Certification Label. 

For the maximum load of the tire, see the 

load limit at maximum cold tire inflation 

pressure mentioned on the sidewall of the 

tire. (

6-3. Do-it-yourself maintenance

Summer tires are high-speed perfor-

mance tires best suited to highway driv-

ing under dry conditions. Since summer 

tires do not have the same traction per-

formance as snow tires, summer tires are 

inadequate for driving on snow-covered 

or icy roads. For driving on snow-cov-

ered roads or icy roads, the use of snow 

tires is recommended. When installing 

snow tires, be sure to replace all four 

tires.

All season tires

All season tires are designed to provide 

better traction in snow and to be ade-

quate for driving in most winter condi-

tions as well as for use year-round. All 

season tires, however, do not have ade-

quate traction performance compared 

with snow tires in heavy or loose snow. 

Also, all season tires fall short in accelera-

tion and handling performance com-

pared with summer tires in highway 

driving.

Snow tires

For driving on snow-covered roads or icy 

roads, we recommend using snow tires. If 

you need snow tires, select tires of the 

same size, construction and load capacity 

as the originally installed tires. Since your 

vehicle has radial tires as original equip-

ment, make sure your snow tires also 

have radial construction. Do not install 

studded tires without first checking local 

regulations for possible restrictions. 

Snow tires should be installed on all 

wheels. (

P.219)

If the tread on snow tires wears down 

below 0.16 in. (4 mm)

The effectiveness of the tires as snow tires is 

lost.

WARNING

When inspecting or replacing tires

Observe the following precautions to 

prevent accidents.

Failure to do so may cause damage to 

parts of the drivetrain as well as danger-

ous handling characteristics, which may 

lead to an accident resulting in death or 

serious injury.

Do not mix tires of different makes, 

models or tread patterns.

Also, do not mix tires of remarkably 

different treadwear.

Do not use tire sizes other than those 

recommended by Lexus.

Do not mix differently constructed 

tires (radial, bias-belted or bias-ply 

tires).

Do not mix summer, all season and 

snow tires.

Do not use tires that have been used 

on another vehicle.

Do not use tires if you do not know 

how they were used previously.

NOTICE

Driving on rough roads

Take particular care when driving on 

roads with loose surfaces or potholes.

These conditions may cause losses in tire 

inflation pressure, reducing the cushion-

ing ability of the tires. In addition, driving 

on rough roads may cause damage to 

the tires themselves, as well as the vehi-

cle’s wheels and body.

Low profile tires (21-inch tires)

Low profile tires may cause greater dam-

age than usual to the tire wheel when 

sustaining impact from the road surface. 

Therefore, pay attention to the following:

Be sure to use proper tire inflation 

pressure. If tires are under-inflated, 

they may be damaged more severely.

Avoid potholes, uneven pavement, 

curbs and other road hazards. Failure 

to do so may lead to severe tire and 

wheel damage.

If tire inflation pressure of each tire 

becomes low while driving

Do not continue driving, or your tires 

and/or wheels may be ruined.

Tires cannot be rotated.

When run-flat tires are installed, the 
vehicle can be driven for a maximum of 
100 miles (160 km) at a speed below 
50 mph (80 km/h) after any tire goes 
flat. (However, the vehicle speed may 
not increase to near 50 mph [80 
km/h] depending on weather or driv-
ing conditions.)

A run-flat tire has a 

 mark on 

the sidewall.

Make sure to replace the flat tire before 
the vehicle has been driven for near 100 
miles (160 km). Also, do not use a repaired 
tire.

Run-flat tires

The run-flat tires are for only this vehicle. 

Do not use the tires on other vehicles.

Do not mix run-flat tires and normal tires.

If non-genuine Lexus wheels are used, it 

may be impossible to sufficiently demon-

strate the performance of run-flat tires.

Your vehicle is equipped with a tire 
pressure warning system that uses tire 
pressure warning valves and transmit-
ters to detect low tire inflation pressure 
before serious problems arise.

If the tire pressure drops below a 
predetermined level, the driver is 
warned by a screen display and a 
warning light. (

P.313)

The tire pressure detected by the 
tire pressure warning system can be 
displayed on the multi-information 
display. (

P.77)

The illustration used is intended as an 
example, and may differ from the image 
that is actually displayed on the multi-infor-
mation display.

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.

Situations in which the tire pressure 

warning system may not operate prop-

erly

In the following cases, the tire pressure 

warning system may not operate prop-

erly.

• If non-genuine Lexus wheels are used.

• A tire has been replaced with a tire that is 

not an OE (Original Equipment) tire.

• A tire has been replaced with a tire that is 

not of the specified size.

• Tire chains etc. are equipped.

• An auxiliary-supported run-flat tire is 

equipped.

• If a window tint that affects the radio wave 

signals is installed.

• If there is a lot of snow or ice on the vehi-

cle, particularly around the wheels or 

wheel housings.

• If the tire inflation pressure is extremely 

higher than the specified level.

• If wheel without tire pressure warning 

valves and transmitters are used.

If tire position information is not correctly 
displayed due to the radio wave conditions, 
the display may be corrected by driving and 
changing the radio wave conditions.

When the vehicle is parked, the time 

taken for the warning to start or go off 

could be extended.

When tire inflation pressure declines rap-

idly for example when a tire has burst, the 

warning may not function.

When replacing tires or wheels, tire 
pressure warning valves and transmit-
ters must also be installed.
When new tire pressure warning 
valves and transmitters are installed, 
new ID codes must be registered in the 
tire pressure warning computer and 
the tire pressure warning system must 
be initialized. (

P.282)

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 when changing traveling 
speed.

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.282)

When the tire pressure warning sys-
tem is initialized, the current tire infla-
tion pressure is set as the benchmark 
pressure.

Installing tire pressure warning 
valves and transmitters

NOTICE

Repairing or replacing tires, wheels, 

tire pressure warning valves, trans-

mitters and tire valve caps

When removing or fitting the wheels, 

tires or the tire pressure warning 

valves and transmitters, contact your 

Lexus dealer as the tire pressure warn-

ing valves and transmitters may be 

damaged if not handled correctly.

Make sure to install the tire valve caps. 

If the tire valve caps are not installed, 

water could enter the tire pressure 

warning valves and the tire pressure 

warning valves could be bound.

When replacing tire valve caps, do not 

use tire valve caps other than those 

specified. The cap may become stuck.

How to initialize the tire pressure 
warning system

1

Park the vehicle in a safe place and 
turn the engine switch off.

Initialization cannot be performed while 

the vehicle is moving.

2

Adjust the tire inflation pressure to 
the specified cold tire inflation 
pressure level.

Make sure to adjust the tire pressure to the 

specified cold tire inflation pressure level. 

The tire pressure warning system will oper-

ate based on this pressure level.

3

Turn the engine switch to ON.

4

Press 

 or 

 of the meter con-

trol switches and select 

.

5

Press 

 or 

 of the meter con-

trol switches and select “Vehicle 
Settings”, then press “OK”.

6

Press 

 or 

 of the meter con-

trol switches and select “TPWS 
SET”, then press “OK”.

7

Press 

 or 

 of the meter con-

trol switches and select “Set tire 
pressure”. Then press and hold 
“OK” until the tire pressure warn-
ing light starts blinking.

A message is displayed on the multi-infor-

mation display. Also, “--” is displayed for 

inflation pressure of each tire on the multi-

information display while the tire pressure 

warning system determines the position.

8

Drive the vehicle at approximately 
25mph (40 km/h) or more for 
approximately 10 to 30 minutes.

When initialization is complete, the infla-

tion pressure of each tire will be displayed 

on the multi-information display.
Depending on the vehicle and driving con-

ditions, initialization may take up to 

approximately 1 hour to complete.

The initialization operation

Make sure to carry out initialization after 

adjusting the tire inflation pressure.

Also, make sure the tires are cold before 

carrying out initialization or tire inflation 

pressure adjustment.

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.

When initialization of the tire pressure 

warning system has failed

Initialization may take longer to complete if
