CHECKING TIRE PRESSURE
63R015
The recommended cold tire pressures, tire size and the
vehicle capacity weight are given on the label.
You should check the tire pressures every two weeks, or at
least once a month. And don’t forget the spare! The air
pressure for the spare tire should be 210 kPa (2.1 kgf/cm
2
or
bar, 30 psi). Incorrect tire pressure may waste fuel, reduce the
comfort of driving, reduce tire life and make your vehicle less
safe to drive.
If a tire needs frequent refilling, have it checked by your Lexus
dealer.
CAUTION
Keep your tire pressure properly. Otherwise, the
following conditions may occur and cause an accident
resulting in death or serious injuries.
Low tire pressure (underinflation) —
Excessive wear
Uneven wear
Poor handling
Possibility of blowouts from overheated tire
Poor sealing of the tire bead
Wheel deformation and/or tire separation
High tire pressure (overinflation) —
Poor handling
Excessive wear at the center of the tire tread
A greater possibility of tire damage from road
hazards
