IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY NOTICE D Do not use liquid sealants for a flat tire as tire pressure sensors will be damaged. D Take due care not to go over a curb stone and be careful of the holes 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 replaced, have them 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 tire pressure sensors as well. IF YOU HAVE A FLAT TIRE (Vehicles with standard tires) CAUTION If the low tire pressure warning light comes on, observe the following instructions: D Decelerate as soon as possible to the most appropriate speed that conditions permit. 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. D The warning system may not activate immediately if bursts or sudden air leakage should occur. 1. Reduce your speed gradually, keeping a straight line. Move cautiously off the road to a safe place − well away from the traffic. Avoid stopping on the center divider of a highway. Park on a level spot with firm ground. 2. Stop the engine and turn on your emergency flashers. 3. Firmly set the parking brake and put the transmission in "P". 4. Have everyone get out of the vehicle on the side away from traffic. 469
