7-2. Steps to take in an emergency

If the tire pressure warning light blinks for 

approximately 1 minute then stays on

There may be a malfunction in the tire pres-

sure warning system. Have the vehicle 

inspected by any authorized Lexus retailer 

or Lexus authorized repairer, or any reli-

able repairer immediately.

If the tire pressure warning light comes 

on

1

After the temperature of the tires has 

lowered sufficiently, check the inflation 

pressure of each tire and adjust them to 

the specified level.

2

If the warning light does not turn off 

even after several minutes have 

elapsed, check that the inflation pres-

sure of each tire is at the specified level 

and perform initialization. (

P.375)

The tire pressure warning light may 

come on due to natural causes

The tire pressure warning light may come 

on due to natural causes such as natural air 

leaks and tire inflation pressure changes 

caused by temperature. In this case, adjust-

ing the tire inflation pressure will turn off the 

warning light (after a few minutes).

When a tire is replaced with a spare tire 

(vehicles with compact spare tire)

The compact spare tire is not equipped with 

a tire pressure warning valve and transmit-

ter. If a tire goes flat, the tire pressure warn-

ing light will not turn off even though the flat 

tire has been replaced with the spare tire. 

Replace the spare tire with the repaired tire 

and adjust the tire inflation pressure. The 

tire pressure warning light will go off after a 

few minutes.

Conditions that the tire pressure warn-

ing system may not function properly

P.374

WARNING

If both the ABS and the brake system 

warning lights remain on

Stop your vehicle in a safe place immedi-

ately and contact any authorized Lexus 

retailer or Lexus authorized repairer, or 

any reliable repairer.

The vehicle will become extremely 

unstable during braking, and the ABS 

system may fail, which could cause an 

accident resulting in death or serious 

injury.

When the electric power steering 

system warning light comes on

When the light comes on yellow, the 

assist to the power steering is restricted. 

When the light comes on red, the assist 

to the power steering is lost and handling 

operations of the steering wheel become 

extremely heavy.

When steering wheel operations are 

heavier than usual, grip the steering 

wheel firmly and operate it using more 

force than usual.

If the tire pressure warning light 

comes on

Be sure to observe the following precau-

tions.

Failure to do so could cause a loss of 

vehicle control and result in death or 

serious injury.

Stop your vehicle in a safe place as 

soon as possible. Check and adjust the 

tire inflation pressure immediately.

If the tire pressure warning light comes 

on even after tire inflation pressure 

adjustment, it is probable that you have 

a flat tire. Check the tires. If a tire is flat, 

change it with the spare tire and have 

the flat tire repaired by the nearest any 

authorized Lexus retailer or Lexus 

authorized repairer, or any reliable 

repairer.

may be clogged, the air intake vent may 

be blocked, or there may be a gap in the 

duct. Therefore, perform the following 

correction procedure.

• If the air intake vent and filter of the 

hybrid battery (traction battery) are dirty, 

perform the procedure on P.383 to 

clean them.

• If the warning message is shown when 

the air intake vent and filter of the hybrid 

battery (traction battery) are not dirty, 

have the vehicle inspected by any autho-

rized Lexus retailer or Lexus authorized 

repairer, or any reliable repairer.

NOTICE

If “High Power Consumption Power 

to Climate Temporarily Limited” is 

displayed frequently

There is a possible malfunction relating 

to the charging system or the 12-volt bat-

tery may be deteriorating. Have the vehi-

cle inspected by any authorized Lexus 

retailer or Lexus authorized repairer, or 

any reliable repairer.

If you have a flat tire (vehi-
cles with emergency tire 
puncture repair kit)

Your vehicle is not equipped with a 
spare tire, but instead is equipped 
with an emergency tire puncture 
repair kit. 
A puncture caused by a nail or 
screw passing through the tire 
tread can be repaired temporarily 
with the emergency tire puncture 
repair kit. (The emergency tire 
puncture repair kit contains a bot-
tle of sealant. The sealant can be 
used only once to temporarily 
repair one tire without removing 
the nail or screw from the tire.) 
Depending on the damage condi-
tion of the flat tire, it may not be 
able to repaired with the emer-
gency tire puncture repair kit.
After temporarily repairing the tire 
with the kit, have the tire repaired 
or replaced by any authorized 
Lexus retailer or Lexus authorized 
repairer, or any reliable repairer.
Repairs conducted using the emer-
gency tire puncture repair kit are 
only a temporary measure. Have 
the tire repaired and replaced as 
soon as possible.

Wh
en

 troubl
e ar
ises

Stop the vehicle in a safe place on a 
hard, flat surface.

Set the parking brake.

Shift the shift lever to P.

Stop the hybrid system.

Turn on the emergency flashers. 
(

P.396)

Check the degree of the tire dam-
age.

A tire should only be repaired with the 
emergency tire puncture repair kit if the 
damage is caused by a nail or screw pass-
ing through the tire tread.
• Do not remove the nail or screw from 

the tire. Removing the object may widen 
the opening and make emergency 
repair with the repair kit impossible.

• To avoid sealant leakage, move the vehi-

cle until the area of the puncture, if 
known, is positioned at the top of the tire.

A flat tire that cannot be repaired with 

the emergency tire puncture repair kit

In the following cases, the tire cannot be 

repaired with the emergency tire puncture 

repair kit. Contact any authorized Lexus 

retailer or Lexus authorized repairer, or any 

reliable repairer.

When the tire is damaged due to driving 

without sufficient air pressure

When there are any cracks or damage at 

any location on the tire, such as on the 

side wall, except the tread

When the tire is visibly separated from 

the wheel

When the cut or damage to the tread is 4 

mm (0.16 in.) long or more

When the wheel is damaged

When two or more tires have been punc-

tured

When more than one sharp objects such 

as nails or screws have passed through 

the tread on a single tire

WARNING

If you have a flat tire

Do not continue driving with a flat tire.

Driving even a short distance with a flat 

tire can damage the tire and the wheel 

beyond repair, which could result in an 

accident.

Emergency tire puncture repair kit

The sealant stored in the emergency tire 

puncture repair kit can be used only once 

to temporarily repair a single tire. If the 

sealant in the bottle and other parts of the 

kit have been used and need to be 

replaced, contact any authorized Lexus 

retailer or Lexus authorized repairer, or 

any reliable repairer. The compressor 

can be used repeatedly.

The sealant can be used when the outside 

temperature is from -30°C (-22°F) to 

60 °C (140 °F).

The kit is exclusively designed for size 

and type of tires originally installed on 

your vehicle. Do not use it for tires that a 

different size than the original ones, or for 

any other purposes.

If the sealant gets on your clothes, it may 

stain.

If the sealant adheres to a wheel or the 

surface of the vehicle body, the stain may 

not be removable if it is not cleaned at 

once. Immediately wipe away the sealant 

with a wet cloth.

During operation of the repair kit, a loud 

operation noise is produced. This does 

not indicate a malfunction.

Do not use to check or to adjust the tire 

pressure.

Note for checking the emergency tire 

puncture repair kit

Check the sealant expiry date occasion-

ally.

The expiry date is shown on the bottle.

Do not use sealant whose expiry date has 

already passed. Otherwise, repairs con-

ducted using the emergency tire punc-

ture repair kit may not be performed 

properly.

The sealant should be replaced before 

the expiry date. Contact any authorized 

Lexus retailer or Lexus authorized 

repairer, or any reliable repairer for 

replacement.
