Where is the TPMS reset switch???
My GS 450h manual shows a picture in which the tire pressure monitoring reset switch is shown to be somewhere below and to the left of the streering wheel column. But I can't find it ANYWHERE! Please, help!

it's there....
It's near the steering column. Use your fingers and feel for a gap with a button. If you go down with a flashlight you can't miss it. I gave up already. I drive with my low tire pressure lights on. It won't reset, I think the car is too low. It's slammed with tein cs's on 20's.

I've crawled with a flashlight under the streering wheel and I couldn't find it. Made me wonder if maybe my car didn't have the TPMS, but I don't think it's optional, and I do have the warning light on the dash.

Its back behind the dash covering not under the steering wheel. It is further back than than the steering Colum.
BTW, unless your tires have gone completely flat or been removed from the rim, you should not have to reset. Have you checked all the tires and the spare?

Its there. It back there and it is recessed. You will need to get your head down by the mat to be able to see it. The drawing in the manual stinks and does not really show how far back it is.

As far as the reason why, I just had my tires replaced, and the manual says to reset TPMS in such cases. Plus, I'm not 100% sure the shop didn't screw up the system; so I figure if I try to reset and there's something wrong with it, I'll get a message.

Yep, need to reset. Make sure you have the pressure in all the tires and the spare you want. The pressure in you tires at the reset will be the new reference point. They did a good job of hidding that button. I had to hunt for it too.
