2002 Lexus SC 430 Owners Manual - Page 253

KEYS AND DOORS CAUTION If the low tire pressure warning light comes on or blinks and chimes sound, take your vehicle to the nearest Lexus dealer or authorized tire dealer as soon as possible, observing the following instructions: D Decelerate as soon as possible to the most appropriate speed that conditions permit. Do not drive for longer than 160 km (100 miles) or over 90 km/h (55 mph). D Avoid abrupt steering wheel maneuvering and braking. If the vehicle tires deteriorate, you could lose control of the steering wheel or the brakes, causing death or serious injury. NOTICE D Do not use liquid sealants for a flat tire as air pressure sensors will be damaged. D Take due care not to go over a curb stone and be careful of the dents in the road because deflated tire pressure affects tire cushion performance. The wheels, tires, body, suspension and other components could be damaged. D Your ground clearance is reduced if the run-flat tire goes flat so avoid driving over obstacles and drive slowly on rough, unpaved roads and speed bumps. Also, do not attempt to go through an automatic car wash as the vehicle may get caught, resulting in damage. D When the tires must be repaired or replaced, have them repaired or replaced by the nearest Lexus dealer or authorized tire dealer. The tire pressure sensors will be affected by the installation or removal of tires. D When the tires must be replaced, replace the grommets for air pressure sensors as well. 240 SC430 through 12/2001 Production
