WARNING
■
Replacing a flat tire
●
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.
●
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, leading 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 76 ft•lbf (103 N•m,
10.5 kgf•m) as soon as possible after
changing wheels.
• Do not attach a heavily damaged
wheel ornament, as it may fly off the
wheel while the vehicle is moving.
• 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 your Lexus dealer.

Install the spare tire and loosely
tighten each wheel nut by hand by
approximately the same amount.
When replacing an aluminum wheel with a
steel wheel, tighten the wheel nuts until the
tapered portion
comes into loose con-
tact with the disc wheel seat
.
When replacing an aluminum wheel with
an aluminum wheel, turn the wheel nuts
until the washers
come into contact
with the disc wheel
.

The spare tire
●
The spare tire is identified by the label
“TEMPORARY USE ONLY” on the tire
sidewall.
●
Use the spare tire temporarily, and only in
an emergency.
●
Make sure to check the tire inflation pres-
sure of the spare tire. (
P.322)
■
When using the spare tire
As the spare tire is not equipped with a tire
pressure warning valve and transmitter, low
inflation pressure of the spare tire will not be
indicated by the tire pressure warning sys-
tem. Also, if you replace the spare tire after
the tire pressure warning light comes on,
the light remains on.

wheels of the vehicle. Perform the following
steps and fit tire chains to the rear tires:
1
Replace a front tire with the spare tire.
2
Replace the flat rear tire with the tire
removed from the front of the vehicle.
3
Fit tire chains to the rear tires.
WARNING
■
When using the spare tire

Remember that the spare tire provided
is specifically designed for use with
your vehicle. Do not use your spare
tire on another vehicle.
●
Do not use more than one spare tire
simultaneously.
●
Replace the spare tire with a standard
tire as soon as possible.
●
Avoid sudden acceleration, abrupt
steering, sudden braking and shifting
operations that cause sudden engine
braking.

Once the vehicle’s engine has
started, remove the jumper cables
in the exact reverse order from
which they were connected.
Once the engine starts, have the vehi-
cle inspected at your Lexus dealer as
soon as possible.
■
Starting the engine when the battery is
discharged
The engine cannot be started by push-start-
ing.
■
To prevent battery discharge
●
Turn off the headlights and the audio sys-
tem while the engine is off.
●
Turn off any unnecessary electrical com-
ponents when the vehicle is running at a
low speed for an extended period, such
as in heavy traffic.
■
Charging the battery
The electricity stored in the battery will dis-
charge gradually even when the vehicle is
not in use, due to natural discharge and the
draining effects of certain electrical appli-
ances. If the vehicle is left for a long time,
the battery may discharge, and the engine
may be unable to start. (The battery
recharges automatically during driving.)
■
When recharging or replacing the bat-
tery
●
In some cases, it may not be possible to
unlock the doors using the smart access
system with push-button start when the
battery is discharged. Use the wireless
remote control or the mechanical key to
lock or unlock the doors.
●
The engine may not start on the first
attempt after the battery has recharged
but will start normally after the second
attempt. This is not a malfunction.
●
The engine switch mode is memorized by
the vehicle. When the battery is recon-
nected, the system will return to the
mode it was in before the battery was dis-
charged. Before disconnecting the bat-
tery, turn the engine switch off.
If you are unsure what mode the engine
switch was in before the battery dis-
charged, be especially careful when
reconnecting the battery.
WARNING
■
Avoiding battery fires or explosions
Observe the following precautions to
prevent accidentally igniting the flamma-
ble gas that may be emitted from the bat-
tery:
●
Make sure each jumper cable is con-
nected to the correct terminal and that
it is not unintentionally in contact with
any other than the intended terminal.
●
Do not allow the other end of the
jumper cable connected to the “+” ter-
minal to come into contact with any
other parts or metal surfaces in the
area, such as brackets or unpainted
metal.
●
Do not allow the + and - clamps of the
jumper cables to come into contact
with each other.
●
Do not smoke, use matches, cigarette
lighters or allow open flame near the
battery.
■
Battery precautions
The battery contains poisonous and cor-
rosive acidic electrolyte, while related
parts contain lead and lead compounds.
Observe the following precautions when
handling the battery:

WARNING
●
When working with the battery, always
wear safety glasses and take care not
to allow any battery fluids (acid) to
come into contact with skin, clothing
or the vehicle body.
●
Do not lean over the battery.
●
In the event that battery fluid comes
into contact with the skin or eyes,
immediately wash the affected area
with water and seek medical attention.
Place a wet sponge or cloth over the
affected area until medical attention
can be received.
●
Always wash your hands after handling
the battery support, terminals, and
other battery-related parts.
●
Do not allow children near the battery.
NOTICE
■
When handling jumper cables
When connecting the jumper cables,
ensure that they do not become entan-
gled in the cooling fans or engine drive
belt.
If your vehicle overheats
The following may indicate that
your vehicle is overheating.
The engine coolant temperature
gauge (
P.66) is in the red zone
or a loss of engine power is expe-
rienced. (For example, the vehicle
speed does not increase.)

Start the engine and turn the air
conditioning system on to check
that the radiator cooling fans oper-
ate and to check for coolant leaks
from the radiator or hoses.
The fans operate when the air conditioning
system is turned on immediately after a
cold start. Confirm that the fans are oper-
ating by checking the fan sound and air
flow. If it is difficult to check these, turn the
air conditioning system on and off repeat-
edly.
(The fans may not operate in freezing tem-
peratures.)

If the fans are not operating:
Stop the engine immediately and
contact your Lexus dealer.
If the fans are operating:
Have the vehicle inspected at the
nearest Lexus dealer.
WARNING
■
When inspecting under the hood of
your vehicle
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in serious
injury such as burns.
●
If steam is seen coming from under the
hood, do not open the hood until the
steam has subsided. The engine com-
partment may be very hot.
●
Keep hands and clothing (especially a
tie, a scarf or a muffler) away from the
fans and belts. Failure to do so may
cause the hands or clothing to be
caught, resulting in serious injury.

cooled down sufficiently. Adding cool
coolant to a hot engine too quickly can
cause damage to the engine.
■
To prevent damage to the cooling sys-
tem
Observe the following precautions:
●
Avoid contaminating the coolant with
foreign matter (such as sand or dust
etc.).
