8-5. Tire maintenance
WARNING
Observe the following precautions. Failure to do so may lead to the wheel bolts
loosening and the tire falling off.
Never apply oil or grease to the wheel bolts or their contact surface on the wheel
●
.
Doing so may cause the wheel bolts to be tightened excessively, leading to
damage to the wheel bolts, the threaded portion the wheel bolts install to
the wheel.
Also, the wheel bolts may come loose, possibly leading to the wheel coming off,
causing a serious accident. If oil or grease is attached to either of these parts,
remove it.
When installing a wheel, use the same wheel bolts that were removed with the
●
wheel. Also, do not use any wheel bolts other than Lexus Genuine wheel bolts.
If a wheel bolt hole in a wheel or the threads of a wheel bolt or the wheel hub are
●
deformed, cracked, rusty or otherwise damaged, have the vehicle inspected by
your Lexus dealer.
Do not install the wheel ornament if it is damaged, as it may fly off the wheel while
●
the vehicle is being driven.
