BRAKE PAD WEAR LIMITINDICATORS
31E016
The brake pad wear limit indicators on your disc
brakes give a warning noise when the brake pads
are worn to the extent that replacement is required.
If you hear a squealing or scraping noise while driving,
have the brake pads checked and replaced by your
Lexus dealer as soon as possible. Expensive rotor
damage can result if the pads are not replaced when
needed.TYPES OF TIRES
Determine what kind of tires your vehicle is originally
equipped with.
1. Summer tires
Summer tires are high±speed capability tires best suited
to highway driving under dry conditions.
Since summer tires do not have the same traction
performance as snow tires, summer tires are
inadequate for driving on snow±covered or icy roads.
For driving on snow±covered or icy roads, we
recommend using snow tires. If installing snow tires, be
sure to replace all four tires.
