NOTICE

■

Do not drive the vehicle with a flat tire

Do not continue driving with a flat tire.

Driving even a short distance with a flat tire can damage the tire and the wheel

beyond repair.

■

When stowing the flat tire

●

Ensure that there is no object caught between the tire and the vehicle underbody.

●

To avoid damaging the suspension system, make sure that the spare tire does not

interfere with the suspension components when stowed.

■

When replacing the tires

When removing or fitting the wheels, tires or the tire pressure warning valve and

transmitter, contact your Lexus dealer as the tire pressure warning valve and trans-

mitter may be damaged if not handled correctly.

■

To avoid damage to the tire pressure warning valves and transmitters

When a tire is repaired with liquid sealants, the tire pressure warning valve and

transmitter may not operate properly. If a liquid sealant is used, contact your Lexus

dealer or other qualified service shop as soon as possible. Make sure to replace the

tire pressure warning valve and transmitter when replacing the tire. (
