7-2. Steps to take in an emergency
If you have a flat tire
Your vehicle is not equipped with a
spare tire, but instead you can con-
tinue driving the vehicle with
run-flat tires even if any tire goes
flat.
In this case, slow down and drive
with extra caution.
Run-flat tires
Take your vehicle to the nearest Lexus
dealer or authorized tire dealer as
soon as possible if any tire goes flat.
The vehicle can be driven for a maximum
of 100 miles (160 km) at a speed below 50
mph (80 km/h) after the tire pressure
warning light comes on. (→P.431)
A run-flat tire has a
side wall.

In some conditions (such as at high tem-
peratures)
You cannot continue driving for up to 160
miles (100 km).
