Maintenance and care
CAUTION
■When inspecting or replacing tires
Observe the following precautions to prevent accidents. Failure to do so may cause
damage to parts of the drive train as well as dangerous handling characteristics,
which may lead to an accident resu lting in death or serious injury.
●Do not mix tires of different makes, mode ls or tread patterns. Also, do not mix
tires of remarkably different treadwear.
●Do not use tire sizes other th an those recommended by Lexus.
●Do not mix differently constructed tires (radial, bias-belted or bias-ply tires).
●Do not mix summer, all season and snow tires.
●Do not use tires that have been used on another vehicle. 
Do not use tires if you do not know how they were used previously.
■When initializing the tire pressure warning system
Do not operate the tire pressure warning re set switch without first adjusting the tire
inflation pressure to the specified level. Otherwise, the tire pressure warning light
may not come on even if the tire inflation pressure is low, or it may come on when
the tire inflation pressure is actually normal.
NOTICE
■Repairing or replacing tires, wheels and tire pressure warning valves and trans-
mitters
When removing or fitting the wheels, tires or the tire pressure warning valves and
transmitters, contact your Lexus dealer as the tire pressure warning valves and
transmitters may be damage d if not handled correctly.
■To avoid damaging the tire pressu re warning valves and transmitters
Do not use liquid sealants on flat tires.
■Driving on rough roads
Take particular care when driving on roads with loose surfaces or potholes. 
These conditions may cause losses in tire inflation pressure, reducing the cushion-
ing ability of the tires. In addition, driv ing on rough roads may cause damage to the
tires themselves, as well as the vehicle’s wheels and body.

Maintenance and care
●Never exceed the vehicle capacity weight. 
Passengers and luggage weight should be placed so that the vehicle is bal-
anced.
CAUTION
■Proper inflation is critical to save tire performance
Keep your tires properly inflated. Otherw ise, the following conditions may occur
and result in an accident cau sing death or serious injury:
●Excessive wear
●Uneven wear
●Poor handling
●Possibility of blowouts resulting from overheated tires
●Poor sealing of the tire bead
●Wheel deformation and/or tire separation
●A greater possibility of tire damage from road hazards
NOTICE
■When inspecting and adjusting tire inflation pressure
Be sure to put the tire valve caps back on. 
Without the valve caps, dirt or moisture could get into the valve and cause air leak-
age, which could result in an accident. If the caps are lost, replace them as soon as
possible.

Maintenance and care
■Checking interval
Inspect, clean and replace the air conditioning filter according to the maintenance
schedule.
In dusty areas or areas with he avy traffic flow, early replacement may be
required. (For scheduled maintenance information, please refer to the “Owner’s
Manual Supplement” or “Scheduled Maintenance”.)
■If air flow from the vents decreases dramatically
The filter may be clogged. Check the filter and replace if necessary.
Slide and pull out the filter.
Replace the filter with a new
one.
The “ UP” mark shown on the
filter should be pointing up.
■ Cleaning method
If the filter is dirty, clean by blow-
ing compressed air through the
filter fr
om the underside.
Hold the air gun 2 in. (5 cm)
fr
om the filter and blow for
approximately 2 minutes at
72 psi (500 kPa, 5.0 kgf/cm
2
or bar).
If an air gun is not available,
ha
ve the filter cleaned by
your Lexus dealer.
