Tire and wheel replacement (if equipped)

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 use 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 inflation pressure warning valves and transmitters

●

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

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 valves and transmitters at your Lexus dealer.

●

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

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

genuine wheels.

Each tire and wheel is designed only for its

original position on the vehicle.

Therefore, when replacing tires and wheels

make sure that they are fitted in the position

indicated on the reverse side of the wheel.
