■
The compact spare tire (vehicles with a
compact spare tire)
●
The compact spare tire is identified by the
label “TEMPORARY USE ONLY” on
the tire sidewall. Use the compact spare
tire temporarily, and only in an emer-
gency.
●
Make sure to check the tire inflation pres-
sure of the compact spare tire. (
P.477)
■
When using the compact spare tire
(vehicles with a compact spare tire)
As the compact spare tire is not equipped
with a tire pressure warning valve and trans-
mitter, low inflation pressure of the spare
tire will not be indicated by the tire pressure
warning system. Also, if you replace the
compact spare tire after the tire pressure
warning light comes on, the light remains
on.
■
When the compact spare tire is
equipped (vehicles with a compact
spare tire)
When driving with the compact spare tire
installed, the vehicle height will be different
than when driving with standard tires.
■
If you have a flat front tire on a road cov-
ered with snow or ice (vehicles with a
compact spare tire)
Install the compact spare tire on one of the
rear wheels of the vehicle. Perform the fol-
lowing steps and fit tire chains to the front
tires:
1
Replace a rear tire with the compact
spare tire.
2
Replace the flat front tire with the tire
removed from the rear of the vehicle.

equipped)
• Navigation system (if equipped)
Also, not only can the following system
not be utilized fully, but it may even nega-
tively affect the drive-train components:
• AWD system (AWD models)
■
Speed limit when using the compact
spare tire (vehicles with a compact
spare tire)
Do not drive at speeds in excess of 80
km/h (50 mph) when a compact spare
tire is installed on the vehicle.
The compact spare tire is not designed
for driving at high speeds. Failure to
observe this precaution may lead to an
accident causing death or serious injury.
■
After using the tools and jack
Before driving, make sure all the tools
and jack are securely in place in their
storage location to reduce the possibility
of personal injury during a collision or
sudden braking.
NOTICE
■
Be careful when driving over bumps
with the compact spare tire installed
on the vehicle (vehicles with a com-
pact spare tire)
The vehicle becomes lower when driving
with the compact spare tire compared to
when driving with standard tires. Be
careful when driving over uneven road
surfaces.
■
Driving with tire chains and the com-
pact spare tire (vehicles with a com-
pact spare tire)
Do not fit tire chains to the compact
spare tire. Tire chains may damage the
vehicle body and adversely affect driving
performance.

NOTICE
■
When replacing the tires
When removing or fitting the wheels,
tires or the tire pressure warning valve
and transmitter, contact any authorized
Lexus retailer or Lexus authorized
repairer, or any reliable repairer as the
tire pressure warning valve and transmit-
ter may be damaged if not handled cor-
rectly.
■
When stowing the flat tire (Type C)
●
Ensure that there is no object caught
between the tire and the vehicle
underbody.
●
Securely tighten the spare tire clamp
bolt to hold the spare wheel carrier by
the hook.
●
Stow the flat tire in the spare tire loca-
tion. Failure to do so may cause dam-
age to the spare tire carrier. Proper
storage reduces the possibility of injury
in a collision or during sudden braking.
●
Have the flat tire repaired and the
spare tire replaced with it as soon as
possible.
■
Proper storage of the spare tire (Type
C)
●
If the hoist assembly is slanted when
stowing a tire, the hoist assembly may
become stuck in the wheel opening
and the tire may not be raised properly,
causing damage to the wheel or the
wire cable.
●
Do not attempt to turn the spare tire
clamp bolt without a tire on the hoist
assembly, as doing so may cause the
wire cable to slip off of the shaft inside
the unit and the wire cable may not be
able to be raised or lowered. If the
spare tire clamp bolt has been turned
without a tire on the hoist assembly
and the wire cable cannot be raised or
lowered, contact any authorized Lexus
retailer or Lexus authorized repairer,
or any reliable repairer.

■
When removing the battery terminals
When the battery terminals are removed,
the information stored in the ECU is
cleared. Before removing the battery termi-
nals, contact any authorized Lexus retailer
or Lexus authorized repairer, or any reliable
repairer as soon as possible.
■
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 the battery is removed or dis-
charged
●
In some cases, it may not be possible to
unlock the doors using the smart entry &
start system when the battery is dis-
charged. 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.
●
Vehicles with power back door: The
power back door must be initialized.
(
P.114)
●
Vehicles with a Stop & Start system: After
the battery terminals have been discon-
nected then reconnected or the battery
has been replaced, the Stop & Start sys-
tem may not automatically stop the
engine for approximately 5 to 60 min-
utes.
■
Replacing the battery
●
Vehicles with Stop & Start system: Use a
genuine battery specifically designed for
use with the Stop & Start system or a bat-
tery with equivalent specifications to a
genuine battery. If an unsupported bat-
tery is used, Stop & Start system func-
tions may be restricted to protect the
battery. Also, battery performance may
decrease and the engine may not be able
to restart. Contact any authorized Lexus
retailer or Lexus authorized repairer, or
any reliable repairer for details.
●
Use a battery with the same case size as
the previous battery and an equivalent
20 hour rate capacity (20HR) or greater.
• If the sizes differ, the battery cannot be
properly secured.
• If the 20 hour rate capacity is low, even if
the time period where the vehicle is not
used is a short time, the battery may dis-
charge and the engine may not be able to
start.
●
For details, consult any authorized Lexus
retailer or Lexus authorized repairer, or
any reliable repairer.
WARNING
■
When removing the battery terminals
Always remove the negative (-) terminal
first. If the positive (+) terminal contacts
any metal in the surrounding area when
the positive (+) terminal is removed, a
spark may occur, leading to a fire in addi-
tion to electrical shocks and death or
serious injury.
■
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.
464
7-2. Steps to take in an emergency
WARNING
●
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:
●
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.
■
When replacing the battery
●
When the vent plug and indicator are
close to the hold down clamp, the bat-
tery fluid (sulfuric acid) may leak.
●
For information regarding battery
replacement, contact any authorized
Lexus retailer or Lexus authorized
repairer, or any reliable repairer.
