Default TPM display

35 35 37 37

I thought it is "LF RF LR RR" Left-Front/Rear-Front/Left-Rear/Right-Rear
But in fact mine is "RR LR RF LF" for my car.

Is this same for all RXs or it is all random?

Thanks

Seanlin, the tire pressure is displayed in the order the sensors are picked up. So it is random.

Thx Anita.

It seems like mine pickup in same order every time. It would be interesting to see after I rotate the tires.

Last week I had a screw in one of the tires and TPMS went off. But I didn't know which tire until I inspected all of them. The spare appeared in the same spot in the display after it was installed. So what you're saying could be true. Still, I rely on visual and manual checks. The readout was and is helpful for monitoring. Which reminds me, I need to reset TPMS to go off at a higher tire pressure.

RX's don't have tpms readouts on the screen, maybe only on the hybrids

Right, TPMS pressure display for each tire (even if you don't know which one is which on a 450h -- as much as I love my Lexus, how crazy is that -- unlike my MBZ that displays the pressure for each specific tire without any guessing games) is one of the unique things the 450h can display and the 350 cannot. From reading the 350 Owners Manual, it has the red warning indicator that pops up if any one of the tires falls below pressure. We both then get to check each tire on our Lexi to determine which one is low.

The tire pressure displays in the instrument cluster. This is how it looked when I had the spare on last week. The low tire pressure light was also on. That's to the right outside of the picture.

Sorry (really hate saying that), but it's in the manual and we've discussed this a few times here on the forum before... Instead of my taking a picture.... If you have a 450h, with the ignition on, or in accessory mode 2, press the silver up arrow on the right side of your steering wheel 3 (or maybe 4) times, and it will show you the tire pressure for the "random" 4 tires on your vehicle between the two circular gauges on your drivers dash display. It shows up in the same place you can see the dynamic hybrid graphic how your RXh is operating, and a few other things you can rotate through using those same up/down buttons.

..Thank you to Anita for taking the picture I was to lazy to while we were both thing replies.

No problem, BertL. I think it's funny how the low tire (the spare in this case) is highlighted but it says to check all tires. No doubt Lexus will catch up on this technology like MBZ. Maybe even improve upon it.

Y the non-hybrids don't have this is just retarded. Typical Toyota/Lexus miscommunication. Usually takes them several model years to catch stuff like this.
