Q
When to replace your vehicle’s tires
Tires should be replaced if:
O
The treadwear indicators are showing on
a tire.
O
You have tire damage such as cuts, splits,
cracks deep enough to expose the fabric,
and bulges indicating internal damage
O
A tire goes flat repeatedly or cannot be
properly repaired due to the size or loca-
tion of a cut or other damage
If you are not sure, consult any authorized
Lexus retailer or Lexus authorized repairer,
or any reliable repairer.
Q
Tire life
Any tire over 6 years old must be checked
by a qualified technician even if it has sel-
dom or never been used or damage is not
obvious.
Q
Low profile tires (21-inch tires)
Generally, low profile tires will wear more
rapidly and tire grip performance will be
reduced on snowy and/or icy roads when
compared to standard tires. Be sure to use
snow tires on snowy and/or icy roads and
drive carefully at a speed appropriate for
road and weather conditions.
Q
If the tread on snow tires wears down
below 4 mm (0.16 in.)
The effectiveness of the tires as snow tires is
lost.
Rotate the tires in the order shown.
WARNING
Q
When inspecting or replacing tires
Observe the following precautions to
prevent accidents.
Failure to do so may cause damage to
parts of the drivetrain as well as danger-
ous handling characteristics, which may
lead to an accident resulting in death or
serious injury.
O
Do not mix tires of different makes,
models or tread patterns.
Also, do not mix tires of remarkably
different treadwear.
O
Do not use tire sizes other than those
recommended by Lexus.
O
Do not mix differently constructed
tires (radial, bias-belted or bias-ply
tires).
O
Do not mix summer, all season and
snow tires.
O
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.
NOTICE
Q
Driving on rough roads
Take particular care when driving on
roads with loose surfaces or potholes.
These conditions may cause losses in tire
inflation pressure, reducing the cushion-
ing ability of the tires. In addition, driving
on rough roads may cause damage to
the tires themselves, as well as the vehi-
cle’s wheels and body.
Q
Low profile tires (21-inch tires)
Low profile tires may cause greater dam-
age than usual to the tire wheel when
sustaining impact from the road surface.
Therefore, pay attention to the following:
O
Be sure to use proper tire inflation
pressure. If tires are under-inflated,
they may be damaged more severely.
O
Avoid potholes, uneven pavement,
curbs and other road hazards. Failure
to do so may lead to severe tire and
wheel damage.
Q
If tire inflation pressure of each tire
becomes low while driving
Do not continue driving, or your tires
and/or wheels may be ruined.
Tire rotation
398
6-3. Do-it-yourself maintenance
Vehicles with front and rear tires of
the same size
Vehicles with front and rear tires of
differing sizes
To equalize tire wear and help extend tire
life, Lexus recommends that tire rotation is
carried out approximately every 10000
km (6000 miles).
Do not fail to initialize the tire pressure
warning system after tire rotation.
Q
When rotating the tires
Make sure that the engine switch <power
switch> is off. If the tires are rotated while
the engine switch <power switch> is in
IGNITION ON mode <ON mode>, the tire
position information will not be updated.
If this accidentally occurs, either turn the
engine switch <power switch> to off and
then to IGNITION ON mode <ON mode>,
or initialize the tire pressure warning system
after checking that the tire pressure is prop-
erly adjusted.
When run-flat tires are installed, the
vehicle can be driven for a maximum of
160 km (100 miles) at a speed below
80 km/h (50 mph) after any tire goes
flat. (However, the vehicle speed may
not increase to near 80 km/h [50
mph] depending on weather or driving
conditions.)
A run-flat tire has a
mark on
the sidewall.
Make sure to replace the flat tire before the
vehicle has been driven for near 160 km
(100 miles). Also, do not use a repaired
tire.
Q
Run-flat tires
O
The run-flat tires are for only this vehicle.
Do not use the tires on other vehicles.
O
Do not mix run-flat tires and normal tires.
O
If non-genuine Lexus wheels are used, it
may be impossible to sufficiently demon-
strate the performance of run-flat tires.
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.
If the tire pressure drops below a
predetermined level, the driver is
warned by a screen display and a
warning light. (
P.447)
The tire pressure detected by the
tire pressure warning system can be
displayed on the multi-information

The illustration used is intended as an
example, and may differ from the image
that is actually displayed on the multi-infor-
mation display.
Q
Routine tire inflation pressure checks
The tire pressure warning system does not
replace routine tire inflation pressure
checks. Make sure to check tire inflation
pressure as part of your routine of daily
vehicle checks.
Q
Situations in which the tire pressure
warning system may not operate prop-
erly
O
In the following cases, the tire pressure
warning system may not operate prop-
erly.
• If non-genuine Lexus wheels are used.
• A tire has been replaced with a tire that is
not an OE (Original Equipment) tire.
• A tire has been replaced with a tire that is
not of the specified size.
• Tire chains etc. are equipped.
• An auxiliary-supported run-flat tire is
equipped.
• If a window tint that affects the radio wave
signals is installed.
• If there is a lot of snow or ice on the vehi-
cle, particularly around the wheels or
wheel housings.
• If the tire inflation pressure is extremely
higher than the specified level.
• If wheels without tire pressure warning
valves and transmitters are used.
• If the ID code on the tire pressure warn-
ing valves and transmitters is not regis-
tered in the tire pressure warning
computer.
O
Performance may be affected in the fol-
lowing situations.
• Near a TV tower, electric power plant,
gas station, radio station, large display,
airport or other facility that generates
strong radio waves or electrical noise
• When carrying a portable radio, cellular
phone, cordless phone or other wireless
communication device
If tire position information is not correctly
displayed due to the radio wave conditions,
the display may be corrected by driving and
changing the radio wave conditions.
O
When the vehicle is parked, the time
taken for the warning to start or go off
could be extended.
O
When tire inflation pressure declines rap-
idly for example when a tire has burst, the
warning may not function.
Q
Warning performance of the tire pres-
sure warning system
The warning of the tire pressure warning
system will change in accordance with the
conditions under which it was initialized. For
this reason, the system may give a warning
even if the tire pressure does not reach a
low enough level, or if the pressure is higher
than the pressure that was adjusted to when
the system was initialized.
408
6-3. Do-it-yourself maintenance
When replacing tires or wheels, tire
pressure warning valves and transmit-
ters must also be installed.
When new tire pressure warning
valves and transmitters are installed,
new ID codes must be registered in the
tire pressure warning computer and
the tire pressure warning system must
be initialized. (
P.410)
Q
When replacing the tires and wheels
If the ID code of the tire pressure warning
valve and transmitter is not registered, the
tire pressure warning system will not work
properly. After driving for about 10 minutes,
the tire pressure warning light blinks for 1
minute and stays on to indicate a system
malfunction.
