When driving
NOTICE
■Repairing or replacing snow tires
Request repairs of and obtain replacement snow tires from Lexus dealer.
This is because the removal and attachment of snow tires affects the operation of
the tire pressure warning valves and transmitters.
■When jacking up or installing tire chains
Be sure to turn off the rear height control air suspension and stop the engine.
Otherwise, the vehicle height may change because of the automatic leveling func-
tion, resulting in an accident.
■Fitting tire chains
The tire pressure warning valves and transmitters may not function correctly when
tire chains are fitted.
