CAUTION

■

Driving with snow tires

Observe the following precautions to reduce the risk of accidents.

Failing to do so may result in a loss of vehicle control and cause death or serious

injury.

●

Use tires of the size specified for your vehicle.

●

Maintain the recommended level of air pressure.

●

Do not drive in excess of 75 mph (120 km/h), regardless of the type of snow tires

being used.

●

Use snow tires on all, not just some wheels.

NOTICE

■

Driving with tire chains

Do not fit tire chains. Tire chains may damage the vehicle body and adversely affect

driving performance.

■

Repairing or replacing snow tires

Request repairs of and obtain replacement snow tires from Lexus dealers or legiti-

mate tire retailers.

This is because the removal and attachment of snow tires affects the operation of

the tire pressure warning system.

■

When driving the vehicle

Accelerate the vehicle slowly and drive at a reduced speed suitable

to road conditions.

■

When parking the vehicle

Park the vehicle and move the shift lever to P without setting the

parking brake. The parking brake may freeze up, preventing it from

being released. If necessary, block the wheels to prevent inadvert-

ent sliding or creeping.
