WARNING
When inspecting or replacing tires
■
Observe the following precautions to
prevent accidents.
Failure to do so may cause damage to
parts of the drivetrain as well as danger-
ous handling characteristics, which may
lead to an accident resulting in death or
serious injury.
Do not mix tires of different makes,
●
models or tread patterns.
Also, do not mix tires of remarkably
different treadwear.
● Do not use tire sizes other than those
recommended by Lexus.
● Do not mix differently constructed
tires (radial, bias-belted or bias-ply
tires).
● Do not mix summer, all season and
snow tires.
● Do not use tires that have been used
on another vehicle.
Do not use tires if you do not know
how they were used previously.
NOTICE
Driving on rough roads
■
Take particular care when driving on
roads with loose surfaces or potholes.
These conditions may cause losses in tire
inflation pressure, reducing the cushion-
ing ability of the tires. In addition, driving
on rough roads may cause damage to
the tires themselves, as well as the vehi-
cle's wheels and body.
Tire rotation
Rotate the tires in the order shown.
6-3. Do-it-yourself maintenance
To equalize tire wear and extend tire life,
Lexus recommends that tire rotation is car-
ried out at the same interval as tire inspec-
tion.
Do not fail to initialize the tire pressure
warning system after tire rotation.
When rotating the tires
■
Make sure that the power switch is OFF. If
the tires are rotated while the power switch
is in ON, the tire position information will
not be updated.
If this accidentally occurs, either turn the
power switch to OFF and then to ON, or
initialize the tire pressure warning system
after checking that the tire pressure is prop-
erly adjusted.
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.
