NOTICE
■
Driving on rough roads
Take particular care when driving on
roads with loose surfaces or potholes.
These conditions may cause losses in tire
inflation pressure, reducing the cushion-
ing ability of the tires. In addition, driving
on rough roads may cause damage to
the tires themselves, as well as the vehi-
cle's wheels and body.
Tire rotation
Vehicles with front and rear tires of
the same size
Rotate the tires in the order shown.
LS500h_OM_OM50F42U_(U)
6-3. Do-it-yourself maintenance
To equalize tire wear and extend tire life,
Lexus recommends that tire rotation is car-
ried out at the same interval as tire inspec-
tion.
Do not fail to initialize the tire pressure
warning system after tire rotation.
Vehicles with front and rear tires of
differing sizes
Tires cannot be rotated.
Run-flat tires
When run-flat tires are installed, the
vehicle can be driven for a maximum of
100 miles (160 km) at a speed below
50 mph (80 km/h) after any tire goes
flat. (However, the vehicle speed may
not increase to near 50 mph [80
km/h] depending on weather or driv-
ing conditions.)
A run-flat tire has a
the side wall.
Make sure to replace the flat tire before the
vehicle has been driven for near 100 miles
(160 km). Also, do not use a repaired tire.
Run-flat tires
■
●
The run-flat tires are for only this vehicle.
Do not use the tires on other vehicles.
●
Do not mix run-flat tires and normal tires.
If non-genuine Lexus wheels are used, it
●
may be impossible to sufficiently demon-
strate the performance of run-flat tires.
Tire pressure warning system
Your vehicle is equipped with a tire
pressure warning system that uses tire
pressure warning valves and transmit-
ters to detect low tire inflation pressure
