I've also been wondering why there is no TPMS shown on the driver's screen like the RAV4 has. We need this on a upgrade.

Can anyone explain what this screen is for? It implies that you can input tire pressure, and some sort of compressor maintains that tire pressure. But that's unlikely because how would the pressure get into the tire if not through the value stem?

Daryll, haven’t you asked this question in other threads already? Assume you looked up in the manual?

EDIT, it's easily found in the manual on p488 found immediately by searching 'set indicate'. You use it when you're changing things about your load or wheels/tires beyond the normal expected OEM air pressure.

So basically if you are regularly carrying a large load in your vehicle that impacts normal inflation levels, or if you've put on aftermarket wheels with a different tire size and inflation level, this is how you change the 'normal level' that is measured when the TPMS alert sounds

It does, however clearly explain about your air pressure question.

You use it when you're changing things about your load or wheels/tires beyond the normal expected OEM air pressure. Examples in the manual p488 found immediately by searching 'set indicate'

It seems that Lexus has made a simple matter of individual TMPS settings more complicated. Our 2015 NX200t had the tire pressure on the screen and it was always on as a personal preference. Additionally, switching between winter tire sets and tire rotations were a breeze, with Americas Tire doing the reset. I haven't yet gone through a tire rotation but the winter tires that I previously used aren't recognized by this new system and I get to stare at the malfunction indicator tor the season. I don't want to shell out the money for new Lexus compatible TPMS sensors that worked on the previous gen NX.

I posted this in the two other places I found (so far) you've asked this question. in the manual on p488 found immediately by searching 'set indicate'. You use it when you're changing things about your load or wheels/tires beyond the normal expected OEM air pressure.

No, the vehicle won't automatically inflate the tires. The only normal street vehicle I've heard of doing that is the old full size Hummer.

P110 in the manual says about displaying tire pressure


Also P485 in the hybrid manual has more details on getting the actual inflation numbers on the multi information display for cars with / without HUD

So, put another way, I think it’s saying if you only drive with normal loads, and only use the OEM tire size, there’s no need to do anything to with this.

Thank you very much! That being done, the above post still doesn't make it clear how to get the tire pressures on HUD. This sentence implies that this is doable, but there are no step by step instructions to get it done: "Also P485 in the hybrid manual has more details on getting the actual inflation numbers on the multi information display for cars with / without HUD". P485 seems to imply that these numbers will come up as a warning when a tire is low. It does explain how to let it display the 4 tire pressures in the course of normal operation, where no tire would "warn".

So again I ask: Is anyone sure that the tire pressures can be brought up to the small driver's window and/or HUD display and/or is anyone sure this cannot be done?

The 18" wheels say 33 psi on the door jam. The 20" wheels say 35 psi. But my dealer sets ALL tires across all model Lexus cars at 35 psi. I always set my tires at 2-3 psi above recommended levels to be sure I'm never driving with under inflated tires. But with the Run Flats I'm thinking a harsher ride to begin with will only worsen with more air pressure. I'm wondering what other NX owners are doing? I don't have my car yet--likely another 6-8 weeks.

Don’t think it does, but maybe I’m wrong. It says the information display graphic is slightly different on those vehicles with HUD (top right) vs those without HUD (bottom left) on the multi information display.

daryll40

Maybe I don't understand what is the "multi information display", the "infotainment screen" and the thing I call the "drivers speedometer area display", which has the same info that is on the HUD.

kg130

The "multi information display" is the same as the "drivers speedometer area display". It appears within the speedometer display with HUD equipped vehicles.

The "infotainment screen" is the center stack screen.

daryll40

So if the tire pressure info is not an available option on the “multi information display” and related HUD, why is it referenced in the manual, as shown in the past few comments, as having to do with it, both with and without HUD? Something STILL seems “misunderstood” here.

kg130

I cannot find this referenced in my hybrid manual (Hard Copy or PDF). What I found is the following which states that it is only available on the center display.

Now we’re getting somewhere definitive. Thank you.
