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 160 km (100 miles) at a speed below 80
km/h (50 mph) after the tire pressure
warning light comes on. (P.389)
A run-flat tire has a

■
When removing or fitting the wheels,
tires or the tire pressure warning valve
