2012 Lexus LFA tires

92
Refer to the following points in order to preserve the performance and appearance
of the LFA during long-term storage. These points are only guidelines. To ensure that
appropriate steps are taken in consideration of the storage duration and environment,
consult your Lexus dealer in advance.
■
■Storage environment
A dry, covered, flat location away from natural elements such as wind, rain and direct
sunlight is ideal.
Exposure to the elements can cause corrosion and scratches, while long-term
exposure to direct sunlight can cause the interior and exterior finish to fade or become
discolored. Additionally, as moisture from the ground may cause corrosion even if the
vehicle is stored in a covered location, a dry place is ideal.
■
■Cleaning
As dirt becomes harder to remove with time, both the vehicle’s interior and exterior
should be cleaned before the vehicle is put into long-term storage.
■
■Tires
Inflate the tires to approximately 44 psi (300 kPa, 3.0 kgf/cm2 or,bar,) and use wheel
chocks to prevent the vehicle from moving.
In order to help reduce flat spots from occurring during storage, regularly rotate the
tires so that the same point is n’ot always resting on the ground. Additionally, if the
tires develop flat spots during the storage interval, drive the vehicle slowly until any flat
spot-induced vibrations are no longer felt before resuming normal use.
■
■Parking brake
Use wheel chocks to prevent the vehicle from moving as it should be stored with the
parking brake disengaged.
Advice for long-term storage

7 Select Neutral, engage the parking
brake, and turn the ignition switch to
the “LOCK” position.
8 When the LFA is completely loaded
onto the transport vehicle, secure it
with tire belts and chocks.
Be careful not to damage the tires with the
edge of the chocks.

Disabling the tilt sensor
If the tilt sensor is left on when loading the LFA onto a transport vehicle, the auto
alarm may activate.
1 Stop the engine and remove the
key.
2 Press the tilt sensor cancel switch
located inside the glove box.
3 While the indicator is flashing faster
than normal, close all the doors and
lock the vehicle using the wireless
remote control.
