CHASSIS Chain installation Install the chains on the rear tires as tightly as possible. Do not use tire chains on the front tires. Retighten chains after driving 0.5 − 1.0 km (1/4 − 1/2 mile). When installing chains on your tires, carefully follow the instructions of the chain manufacturer. NOTICE D When the snow tires must be repaired or replaced, have them repaired or replaced by Lexus dealer or authorized tire dealer. The tire pressure sensor will be affected by the installation or removal of snow tires. D When the snow tires must be replaced, replace the grommets for tire pressure sensors as well. D Do not attempt to use a tire chain on the compact spare tire, as it may result in damage to the vehicle as well as the tire. If the chains are installed, the tire pressure warning system may not operate properly. See "Tire pressure warning system" on page 433. CAUTION D Do not exceed 50 km/h (30 mph) or the chain manufacturer's recommended speed limit, whichever is lower. D Drive carefully avoiding bumps, holes, and sharp turns, which may cause the vehicle to bounce. D Avoid sharp turns or locked−wheel braking, as use of chains may adversely affect vehicle handling. D When driving with chains installed, be sure to drive carefully. Slow down before entering curves to avoid losing control of the vehicle. Otherwise an accident may occur. 559
