Remove all the wheel nuts and the
tire.
When resting the tire on the ground, place
the tire so that the wheel design faces up to
avoid scratching the wheel surface.
WARNING
Q
Replacing a flat tire
O
Do not touch the disc wheels or the
area around the brakes immediately
after the vehicle has been driven.
After the vehicle has been driven the
disc wheels and the area around the
brakes will be extremely hot. Touching
these areas with hands, feet or other
body parts while changing a tire, etc.
may result in burns.
O
Failure to follow these precautions
could cause the wheel nuts to loosen
and the tire to fall off, resulting in death
or serious injury.
• Never use oil or grease on the wheel
bolts or wheel nuts.
Oil and grease may cause the wheel
nuts to be excessively tightened, lead-
ing to bolt or disc wheel damage. In
addition, the oil or grease can cause
the wheel nuts to loosen and the wheel
may fall off, causing a serious accident.
Remove any oil or grease from the
wheel bolts or wheel nuts.
• Have the wheel nuts tightened with a
torque wrench to 103 N•m (10.5
kgf•m, 76 ft•lbf) as soon as possible
after changing wheels.
• When installing a tire, only use wheel
nuts that have been specifically
designed for that wheel.
• If there are any cracks or deformations
in the bolt screws, nut threads or bolt
holes of the wheel, have the vehicle
inspected by any authorized Lexus
retailer or Lexus authorized repairer,
or any reliable repairer.
• Do not attach a heavily damaged
wheel ornament, as it may fly off the
wheel while the vehicle is moving.
Q
Replacing a flat tire for vehicles with
power back door
In cases such as when replacing tires,
make sure to cancel the power back
door system (
P.193). Failure to do so
may cause the back door to operate
unintentionally if the power back door
switch is accidentally touched, resulting
in hands and fingers being caught and
injured.

Remove any dirt or foreign matter
from the wheel contact surface.
If foreign matter is on the wheel contact
surface, the wheel nuts may loosen while
the vehicle is in motion, causing the tire to
come off.

Install the tire and loosely tighten
each wheel nut by hand by approxi-
mately the same amount.
Turn the wheel nuts until the washers come
into contact with the disc wheel.

Q
Effects of incorrect tire inflation pres-
sure
Driving with incorrect tire inflation pressure
may result in the following:
O
Reduced electricity consumption effi-
ciency
O
Reduced driving comfort and poor han-
dling
O
Reduced tire life due to wear
O
Reduced safety
O
Damage to the drive train
If a tire needs frequent inflating, have it
checked by any authorized Lexus retailer
or Lexus authorized repairer, or any reli-
able repairer.
Q
Instructions for checking tire inflation
pressure
When checking tire inflation pressure,
observe the following:
O
Check only when the tires are cold.
If your vehicle has been parked for at
least 3 hours or has not been driven for
more than 1.5 km or 1 mile, you will get an
accurate cold tire inflation pressure read-
ing.
O
Always use a tire pressure gauge.
It is difficult to judge if a tire is properly
inflated based only on its appearance.
O
It is normal for the tire inflation pressure
to be higher after driving as heat is gener-
ated in the tire. Do not reduce tire infla-
tion pressure after driving.
O
Passengers and luggage weight should
be placed so that the vehicle is balanced.
Tire inflation pressure
Make sure to maintain proper tire
inflation pressure. Tire inflation
pressure should be checked at
least once per month. However,
Lexus recommends that tire infla-
tion pressure be checked once
every two weeks.
WARNING
Q
Proper inflation is critical to save tire
performance
Keep your tires properly inflated.
If the tires are not properly inflated, the
following conditions may occur which
could lead to an accident resulting in
death or serious injury:
O
Excessive wear
O
Uneven wear
O
Poor handling
O
Possibility of blowouts resulting from
overheated tires
O
Air leaking from between tire and
wheel
O
Wheel deformation and/or tire dam-
age
O
Greater possibility of tire damage
while driving (due to road hazards,
expansion joints, sharp edges in the
road, etc.)
NOTICE
Q
When inspecting and adjusting tire
inflation pressure
Be sure to put the tire valve caps back
on.
If a valve cap is not installed, dirt or mois-
ture may get into the valve and cause an
air leak, resulting in decreased tire infla-
tion pressure.

When replacing wheels, care should
be taken to ensure that they are equiv-
alent to those removed in load capac-
ity, diameter, rim width and inset
*
.
Replacement wheels are available at
any authorized Lexus retailer or Lexus
authorized repairer, or any reliable
repairer.
*
: Conventionally referred to as offset.
Lexus does not recommend using the
following:
Wheels of different sizes or types
Used wheels
Bent wheels that have been
straightened
Q
When replacing wheels
The wheels of your vehicle are equipped
with tire pressure warning valves and trans-
mitters that allow the tire pressure warning
system to provide advance warning in the
event of a loss in tire inflation pressure.
Whenever wheels are replaced, tire pres-
sure warning valves and transmitters must
be installed. (
P.400)
Use only Lexus wheel nuts and
wrenches designed for use with
your aluminum wheels.
When rotating, repairing or chang-
Wheels
If a wheel is bent, cracked or heav-
ily corroded, it should be replaced.
Otherwise, the tire may separate
from the wheel or cause a loss of
handling control.
Wheel selection
WARNING
Q
When replacing wheels
O
Do not use wheels that are a different
size from those recommended in the
loss of handling control.
O
Never use an inner tube in a leaking
wheel which is designed for a tubeless
tire. Doing so may result in an acci-
dent, causing death or serious injury.
Q
Use of defective wheels prohibited
Do not use cracked or deformed wheels.
Doing so could cause the tire to leak air
during driving, possibly causing an acci-
dent.
NOTICE
Q
Replacing tire pressure warning
valves and transmitters
O
Because tire repair or replacement
may affect the tire pressure warning
valves and transmitters, make sure to
have tires serviced by any authorized
Lexus retailer or Lexus authorized
repairer, or any reliable repairer or
other qualified service shop. In addi-
tion, make sure to purchase your tire
pressure warning valves and transmit-
ters at any authorized Lexus retailer or
Lexus authorized repairer, or any reli-
able repairer.
O
Ensure that only genuine Lexus wheels
are used on your vehicle.
Tire pressure warning valves and
transmitters may not work properly
with non-genuine wheels.
