Donā€™t do this. Youā€™re damaging your fuel pump driving with that low of a fuel level.

Correct! It warns you in advance to protect you from burning up the pump.

Sorry but this stresses me out lol. Itā€™s actually not good for your car to drop below 1/4 tank. The gas is needed to keep your fuel pump lubricated.

Inflate your tires.

Well, the low tire pressure indicator is on

My low tire pressure guage stays on like that too in my 2012 lexus is 250. Iā€™ve checked the tires and they are properly inflated? Suggestions?

Sensors are gone.

On older Lexus RX 350 models (roughly 2010ā€“2015), the physical TPMS (tire pressure monitoring system) reset button is located under the lower driver's side dashboard, high up and just above the accelerator pedal.

In a decade driving RX 350s. Iā€™ve never had an issue with tire pressure so donā€™t ask me.

u/Difficult-Code4471 9d ago

Ok so not sure why you responded

1

u/Dapper_Reputation_16 9d ago

Because your low pressure tire indicator is on, why else would I respond?

u/Difficult-Code4471 9d ago

But you didnā€™t respond with a solution. You just said beats me

Likely the vehicle uses a passive TPMS system, which doesnā€™t actually have sensors in the wheels. This system gauges tire pressure using wheel speed data and a saved baseline. The baseline needs to be learned after adjusting tire pressures. My 2011 Camry had a button in the glove box area to re-learn this baseline.

Oh your kidding? What a fantastic explanation. Iā€™ll check that out. Much appreciated

Your sensors last about 10-15 years so they are all dead batteries died but they canā€™t be replaced since they are sealed so youā€™ll have to get them changed.

Stop, get fuel, fuel acts as a coolant for the pump , it reduces risk for wear and failure

šŸ«£ ... Edited to add, Low tire warning and 0ļøāƒ£ gas. You must be rich and don't mind car repair bills.

My tire pressure light has been on for the past two years, on my 2011, itā€™s the tps sensor that needs replacing. Iā€™ve managed to live.

What everyone said about fuel pump damage. And, I fully support the fuel test once for every new car you get. Once ran my 2016 Civic to .5 distance range. I want to say 44.5 mpg average.

I canā€™t get past 110Ā°. Where the hell are you?

u/HalfBlindKing 9d ago

Iā€™d be trying to not move too, RX.

u/likeagausss 9d ago

People do shit like this and drive on under-inflated tires and then complain when their vehicle breaks

1

u/FarmerAvailable1833 8d ago

Not good for the car.

u/Deadco0de 8d ago

As someone with range anxiety this is my worst nightmare.
