4-6. Driving tips
WARNING

Driving with snow tires
Observe the following precautions to reduce the risk of accidents.
Failure to do so may result in a loss of vehicle control and cause death or seri-
ous injury.

Use tires of the specified size.

Maintain the recommended level of air pressure.

Do not drive at speeds in excess of the speed limit or the speed limit specified
for the snow tires being used.

Use snow tires on all, not just some wheels.

Driving with tire chains
Observe the following precautions to reduce the risk of accidents.
Failure to do so may result in the vehicle being unable to be driven safely, and
may cause death or serious injury.

Do not drive in excess of the speed limit specified for the tire chains being
used, or 50 km/h (30 mph), whichever is lower.

Avoid driving on bumpy road surfaces or over potholes.

Avoid sudden acceleration, abrupt steering, sudden braking and shifting oper-
ations that cause sudden engine braking.

Slow down sufficiently before entering a curve to ensure that vehicle control
is maintained.

When parking the vehicle
When parking the vehicle without applying the parking brake, make sure to
chock the wheels. If you do not chock the wheels, the vehicle may move unex-
pectedly, possibly resulting in an accident.
NOTICE

Repairing or replacing snow tires (vehicles with the tire pressure warning sys-
tem)
Request repairs or replacement of snow tires from any authorized Lexus dealer
or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional 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.

Fitting tire chains (vehicles with the tire pressure warning system)
The tire pressure warning valves and transmitters may not function correctly
when tire chains are fitted.
