You also have to remember that Lexus/Toyota have been using this system for many years with very few problem and it keeps the cost down. The Japanese manufactures tend to use KISS theory.

This is in no way a Lexus bashing post, it's my reply to andreys post about a reliable vehicle. I really like and enjoy my Lexus and hopefully it will serve me as well as my Chevy's have and still do service me.

I was a die hard GM guy for many years (before Toyota) and I have broke down, not often but have. What I can say is I have replaced just about every part in these GM vehicles to keep them going after 100K miles. Now on the other hand, I've had Toyota vehicles for will over 100K miles and only had to replace normal wear parts. Just saying!

You may want to do it yourself so that if you get a flat in the middle of the night, you know how to get to the spare. It is not that difficult.
BTW - When you do put air in the spare, make sure you put the max allowable.

So, the indicator light is on because of the cold morning. All four tires are a few pounds low and I correct.
Back inside the vehicle, the indicator is still on! I get out to check the spare but, cannot because the valve stem is on top! And, my shirt is all dirty!
At home, I lower the spare and check/add air. Raise spare, put tools away. Now I know how to lower the spare.
What a hassle! Our basic Chevy vans at work let you know tire pressure in each of their four tires.
