Rotate the tires in the order shown.

Vehicles with front and rear tires of
the same size
To equalize tire wear and extend tire
life, Lexus recommends that tire rota-
tion is carried out at the same interval
as tire inspection.
Do not fail to initialize the tire pressure
warning system after tire rotation.

Vehicles with front and rear tires of
differing sizes
Tires cannot be rotated.
■ When rotating the tires
Make sure that the engine switch is off. If the
tires are rotated while the engine switch is in
IGNITION ON mode, the tire position
information will not be updated.
If this accidentally occurs, either turn the
engine switch to off and then to IGNITION
ON mode, or initialize the system after
checking that the tire pressure is properly
adjusted.
Your vehicle is equipped with a tire
pressure warning system that uses tire
pressure warning valves and transmit-
ters to detect low tire inflation pressure
before serious problems arise.

The tire pressure detected by the
tire pressure warning system can be
displayed on the multi-information
display.

If the tire pressure drops below a
predetermined level, the driver is
warned by a screen display and a
warning light. (

NOTICE
● Be sure to use proper tire inflation
pressure. If tires are under-inflated,
they may be damaged more severely.
● Avoid potholes, uneven pavement,
curbs and other road hazards. Failure
to do so may lead to severe tire and
wheel damage.
■ If tire inflation pressure of each tire
becomes low while driving
Do not continue driving, or your tires
and/or wheels may be ruined.
