6-3. Do-it-yourself maintenance
Tire rotation
Rotate the tires in the order shown.
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.
■
When rotating the tires
Make sure that the engine switch is OFF. If
the tires are rotated while the engine switch
is in ON, the tire position information will
not be updated.
If this accidentally occurs, either turn the
engine switch to OFF and then to ON, or
initialize the tire pressure warning system
after checking that the tire pressure is prop-
erly adjusted.
Run-flat tires (if equipped)
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 sidewall.
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
before serious problems arise.
If the tire pressure drops below a
predetermined level, the driver is
warned by a screen display and a
warning light. (P.363, 371)
The tire pressure detected by the
tire pressure warning system can be
displayed on the multi-information
display. (P.79)
The illustration used is intended as an
example, and may differ from the image
that is actually displayed on the multi-infor-
mation display.
