When replacing wheels
■
The wheels of your Lexus are equipped with tire pressure warning valve & transmit-
ters that allow the tire pressure warning system to provide advanced warning in the
event of a loss in tire inflation pressure. Whenever wheels are replaced, the tire
pressure warning valve & transmitters must be switched over from the old wheels.
(P. 237)
CAUTION
When replacing wheels
■
Do not use wheels that are a different size from those recommended in the
●
Owner' s Manual, as this may result in loss of handling control.
Never using an inner tube in a leaking wheel which is designed for a tubeless tire.
●
Doing so may result in an accident, causing death or serious injury.
NOTICE

■
Because tire repair or replacement may affect the tire pressure warning valve &
●
transmitters, make sure to have tires serviced by your Lexus dealer or other qual-
ified service shop. In addition, make sure to purchase your tire pressure warning
valve & transmitters at your Lexus dealer.
Ensure that only Genuine Lexus wheels are used on your vehicle.
●
Tire pressure warning valve & transmitters may not work properly with non-genu-
ine wheels.
