Tire grip at low temperatures
■
The tires fitted to the LFA are designed for dry road conditions. As such, tire grip on
cold, snowy and/or icy roads will be reduced compared to standard tires.
Be sure to use snow tires on snowy and/or icy roads and drive carefully at a speed
appropriate for road and weather conditions.
Engine starting restrictions
■
In order to protect the engine, the engine may not start when the engine coolant
temperature or engine oil temperature is below -13F (-25C). In that case, a
buzzer will sound and "Temp low Engine cannot be started" will be shown on the
meter. (P. 327)
CAUTION
Driving with snow tires
■
Observe the following precautions to reduce the risk of accidents.
Failing to do so may result in a loss of vehicle control and cause death or serious
injury.
Use tires of the specified size.
●
Maintain the recommended level of air pressure.
●
Do not drive in excess of 75 mph (120 km/h), regardless of the type of snow tires
●
being used.
Use snow tires on all, not just some wheels.
●
NOTICE
Driving with tire chains
■
Do not fit tire chains. Tire chains may damage the vehicle body and suspension, and
adversely affect driving performance.
Repairing or replacing snow tires
■
Request repairs or replacement of snow tires from Lexus dealers or legitimate tire
retailers.
This is because the removal and attachment of snow tires affects the operation of
the tire pressure warning valves and transmitters.
