Pompeyscouser 8 Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 I have a 65 plate f sport acquired in May. I assumed the car had TPMS because I understood it was "standard". I have searched everywhere underneath the steering wheel and down towards the pedals but can't see (or feel) any button to reset it (just checked tyre pressures and wanted to make sure the system was reset). Is it possible it is not fitted on my car? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DJP 157 Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 No, it is fitted just devilish to find! It's a tiny nipple ish [emoji15] button sort of half way down the steering column. Keep searching, it is there, as the actress said.... [emoji6] Sent from my Iphone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pompeyscouser 8 Posted July 20, 2016 Author Share Posted July 20, 2016 Thanks for the response but I must be blind because I can't see any nipple. It's not the end of the world if it's not fitted but you would think Lexus would make something like this more obvious. I will search again, tomorrow. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
capese21 141 Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 TPMS is fitted to all new cars it has been a legal requirement since 2012 under EU law and the UK is still in the EU for a while yet!! Keep looking. The location & reset procedure is in the handbook. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BigChange 33 Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 Follow a line down the middle of the steering column and on under the dash and there it is. Really well hidden ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
200h 587 Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 above the pedals and underneath the dash is a panel the reset button is in this panel ,the other item in this panel is the foot light. the button has set written on it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pompeyscouser 8 Posted July 20, 2016 Author Share Posted July 20, 2016 Thanks for all the responses. I will make a thorough search tomorrow. If I find it I will take a photo and post it. I can't be the only one who needs a map to find this. I did check the manual but that was worse than useless. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
capese21 141 Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 Quote The manual does explain the reset procedure & show the location of the reset switch. Section 452. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

And all in a book, given to you with the car, I don't believe what I'm hearing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pompeyscouser 8 Posted July 21, 2016 Author Share Posted July 21, 2016 The blind idiot has found it! Sorry for the boring question in the first place. Perhaps a photo in the Owners Manual would be more helpful. By the way, love the car. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DJP 157 Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Well done, glad you've found it. My only slight gripe is that if the light does come on you've no idea which tyre is affected (unless a complete flat of course), especially with the low profiles. Be good if the sensor told you which one it was. First world problem I accept [emoji6] Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RichyRich 25 Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 So what's the idea of the set button? and what happens when there is low tyre pressure? does a warning indicator appear? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

A yellow light shows. Looks like a flat tyre cross section if it's low. When it's low. Just put air in. The light goes off after a mile or so No need to reset the tpms. Leave it as it is otherwise it resets to lowest tyre pressure so if one is on 33psi it'll set to that Quote Link to post Share on other sites
