NOTICE
Repairing or replacing tires, wheels, tire pressure warning valves and transmit-
■
ters and tire valve caps
When removing or fitting the wheels, tires or the tire pressure warning valve and
●
transmitter, contact your Lexus dealer as the tire pressure warning valve and
transmitter may be damaged if not handled correctly.
Make sure to install the tire valve caps. If the tire valve caps are not installed,
●
water could enter the tire pressure warning valves and the tire pressure warning
valves could be bound.
When replacing tire valve caps, do not use tire valve caps other than those speci-
●
fied. The cap may become stuck.

To avoid damage to the tire pressure warning valves and transmitters

■
When a tire is repaired with liquid sealants, the tire pressure warning valve and
transmitter may not operate properly. If a liquid sealant is used, contact your Lexus
dealer or other qualified service shop as soon as possible. Make sure to replace the
tire pressure warning valve and transmitter when replacing the tire. (P. 767)

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 vehicle's wheels and body.

If tire inflation pressures become low while driving

■
Do not continue driving, or your tires and/or wheels may be ruined.
