reduce the possibility of personal injury:
Follow jacking instructions.
Do not put any part of your body under a vehicle
supported by a jack. Otherwise, personal injury
may occur.
Do not start or run the engine while your vehicle
is supported by the jack.

set the parking brake and put the transmission
in ”P”. Block the wheel diagonally opposite to
the one being changed if necessary.
Make sure to set the jack properly in the jack
point. Raising the vehicle with jack improperly
positioned will damage the vehicle or may allow
the vehicle to fall off the jack and cause
personal injury.
Never get under the vehicle when the vehicle is
supported by the jack alone.
Use the jack only for lifting your vehicle during
wheel changing.
Do not raise the vehicle with someone in the
vehicle.
When raising the vehicle, do not put an object
on or under the jack.
Raise the vehicle only high enough to remove
and change the tire.
NOTICE
Do not use liquid sealants for a flat tire as tire
pressure sensors will be damaged.
Do not continue driving with a deflated tire.
Driving even a short distance can damage a tire
beyond repair.
When the tires must be repaired or replaced,
have them repaired or replaced by the nearest
Lexus dealer or authorized tire dealer. The tire
pressure sensors will be affected by the
installation or removal of tires.
When the tires must be replaced, replace the
grommets for tire pressure sensors as well.
