When I took delivery of my car same thing happened. Just about 200 miles onto the car.
Just check and make sure it is monitoring the correct sensors. Will take ya 1 minute!

Its the buttons to the left of the steering console. two arrows with a center button. Push the center button until disply shows tire pressure, then use the arrows to select.

PDI is pre-delivery inspection. It's a thorough check of the vehicle that the service department is supposed to do before it is delivered to you.
Unless you live very far from the dealer, I'd bring it back and have them look at it. They'll plug in their scan tool, read the trouble code (or codes), and determine why the light came on.

The loose gas cap DTC (evap emissions leak) is just one of hundreds of possible codes, most of which have nothing to do with the gas cap. Always a good idea to check the gas cap first (because it's easy to do at home), but if that doesn't work it's time to get the dealer to hook up the Techstream.

***UPDATE***
Just went into the dealer this morning to drop the car off so they can look at the VSC error and install my sirius receiver.
I was watching the guy type the stuff into his computer and i saw the sirius came up as $0.00 since they are doing it at no charge (parts and labor). When he put the next line item (which i assume is for the VSC) i saw it come up to 89.95. Should i have to pay this on a car that isnt even a week old? He didnt mention anything about payment to me, but i would like to be prepared for when i go in there tomorrow.
On another note they were out of loaners at the dealer, so they called enterprise and i got a Kia Rondo...

Ya i guess they were out of loaners by the time i got there...9am. Of course when i was buying the car last week they were telling me how they have 80 loaner cars and when you come to have your lexus serviced you leave in a lexus (loaner). So its the Rondo for a day.

you are fine. Its a charge against warranty
I just had my wifes TSX at the same dealer and they took care of everything. Her car turned out to be a temp sensor so they replaced that and put new coolant in. all was charged to warranty just like yours will be. You are in good hands at that dealer, trust me
. I have dealt with them for 12+ years! Loaner cars can sometimes be an issue at any dealer and out their control. They put you in a car and took care of you! I like when I have similar situations as it makes me appreciate my car that much more when I pick it up. Just wait till that new addition is done and they are back under one roof! I am working with them on a Chicago Meet and will let you know. Hope you can join us so we can all meet you!
Let me know how it goes!
Mike

You guys were right no charges. Even better news was i got a call from the service guy on my way home last night telling that they were able to find a sirius unit and put it in so the car was ready to be picked up.
I quickly turned the Kia around and had my car back, same day.
Passnu2 ya the new building looks awesome. Only problem is i live in Algonquin so its quite the trip for me to go out there for service. I might be using Woodfield Lexus since its on my way to work. Where do you guys normally have meets, i would be down to see some of your rides. BTW im a Mike too.
Thanks again everyone.
