WARNING
■
Driving with snow tires
Observe the following precautions to reduce the risk of accidents.
Failure to do so may result in a loss of vehicle control and cause death or serious injury.
●
Use tires of the specified size.
●
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.
■
Driving with tire chains
Observe the following precautions to reduce the risk of accidents.
Failure to do so may result in the vehicle being unable to be driven safely, and may
cause death or serious injury.
●
Do not drive in excess of the speed limit specified for the tire chains being used, or 30
mph (50 km/h), whichever is lower.
●
Avoid driving on bumpy road surfaces or over potholes.
●
Avoid sudden acceleration, abrupt steering, sudden braking and shifting operations
that cause sudden engine braking.
●
Slow down sufficiently before entering a curve to ensure that vehicle control is main-
tained.
■
When parking the vehicle
When parking the vehicle without applying the parking brake, make sure to chock the
wheels. If you do not chock the wheels, the vehicle may move unexpectedly, possibly
resulting in an accident.
NOTICE
■
Repairing or replacing snow tires
Request repairs or replacement of snow tires from Lexus dealers or legitimate tire
retailers.
This is because the removal and attachment of snow tires affects the operation of the
tire pressure warning valves and transmitters.
■
Fitting tire chains
The tire pressure warning valves and transmitters may not function correctly when tire
chains are fitted.
