Tire rotation
Tires cannot be rotated.
Run-flat tires
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.319)
6-3. Do-it-yourself maintenance
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.

■
warning system may not operate prop-
erly
●
In the following cases, the tire pressure
warning system may not operate prop-
