When replacing wheels

The wheels of your Lexus are equipped with tire pressure warning valve and trans-

mitters that allow the tire pressure warning system to provide advanced warning in

the event of a loss in tire inflation pressure. Whenever wheels are replaced, the tire

pressure warning valve and transmitters must be installed. (

CAUTION

■

When replacing wheels

●

Do not use wheels that are a different size from those recommended in the

Owner’s Manual, as this may result in loss of handling control.

●

Never using an inner tube in a leaking wheel which is designed for a tubeless tire.

Doing so may result in an accident, causing death or serious injury.

NOTICE

■

Replacing tire pressure warning valve and transmitters

●

Because tire repair or replacement may affect the tire pressure warning valve

and transmitters, make sure to have tires serviced by your Lexus dealer or other

qualified service shop. In addition, make sure to purchase your tire pressure

warning valve and transmitters at your Lexus dealer.

●

Ensure that only genuine Lexus wheels are used on your vehicle.

Tire pressure warning valve and transmitters may not work properly with non-

genuine wheels.
