CAUTION
D Do not mix summer and all season tires on your
vehicle as this can cause dangerous handling
characteristics, resulting in loss of control.
D Do not use tires other than the manufacturer's
designated tires, and never mix tires or wheels of the
sizes different from the originals.
STARTING AND DRIVING
LIMITED–SLIP DIFFERENTIAL
Some vehicles are equipped with a limited–slip differential. If
one rear wheel begins to spin, the limited–slip differential is
designed to aid traction by automatically transmitting driving
force to the other rear wheel. If you are not sure whether your
vehicle is equipped with one, you can ask your Lexus dealer.
CAUTION
Do not start or run the engine while your vehicle is
supported by a jack. The vehicle could be driven off the
jack and could pose a danger or result in serious injury.
NOTICE
Use only a spare tire of the same size, construction and
load capacity as the original tires on your Lexus
because damage to the limited–slip differential could
possibly occur with another tire type.
