I didn't mean the actual tire pressures--I know Lexus is behind in that tech. I was referring to "the amount of time the car has been on."

My dad's Jeep also actual shows actual pressures in each tire, though the tire shop he patronizes never bothers to go through the procedure to teach the system what position on the car each TPMS sensor lives, nor do they keep each sensor in its original position on the car. That's why the display is usually wrong about which pressure is for which position on the car. (I went through the procedure myself once, it involves putting the TPMS in learning mode and then putting a little round magnet over the valve stem of each tires in a certain order.)

What year car is this? I'm almost certain that my 2006 doesn't do this.

TPMS? Not only does my 07 not do this, the warning light usually stays on a for a few blocks after I refill tires.

The new CT200h's show you exactly how long the car has been on. I have one right now as a loaner and it's nice.....lets you check how long it takes between destinations. Hopefully all the newer Lexus models will have this feature in the future.
