When driving the vehicle
Accelerate the vehicle slowly and drive at a reduced speed suitable
to road conditions.
■
When parking the vehicle
Park the vehicle and move the shift lever to P without setting the
parking brake. The parking brake may freeze up, preventing it from
being released. If necessary, block the wheels to prevent inadvert-
ent sliding or creeping.
CAUTION

■
Observe the following precautions to reduce the risk of accidents.
Failing to do so may result in a loss of vehicle control and cause death or serious
injury.
Use tires of the size specified for your vehicle.
●
Maintain the recommended level of air pressure.
●
Do not drive in excess of 75 mph (120 km/h), regardless of the type of snow tires
●

NOTICE
Driving with tire chains
■
Do not fit tire chains. Tire chains may damage the vehicle body and adversely affect
driving performance.
Repairing or replacing snow tires

Request repairs of and obtain replacement snow tires from Lexus dealers or legiti-
mate tire retailers.
This is because the removal and attachment of snow tires affects the operation of
the tire pressure warning system.
