WARNING
■
When inspecting or replacing the tires
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may lead to damage to the drivetrain or unstable handling.
●
Do not mix tires of different makes, models or tread patterns. Also, do not mix tires of
remarkably different treadwear.
●
Do not use tire sizes other than those recommended by Lexus.
●
Do not mix differently constructed tires (radial, bias-belted or bias-ply tires).
●
Do not mix summer, all season and snow tires.
●
Do not use tires that have been used on another vehicle.
Do not use tires if you do not know how they were used previously.
●
Vehicles with an emergency tire puncture repair kit: Do not tow anything if a tire that
has been repaired using the emergency tire puncture repair kit is installed. The load on
the tire may cause unexpected damage to the tire.
NOTICE
If tire inflation pressure becomes low while driving, do not continue driving. Otherwise
the tire or wheel may be damaged.
Check if the treadwear indicators are showing on the tires. Also check the tires for
uneven wear, such as excessive wear on one side of the tread.
Check the spare tire condition and pressure if not rotated.
