Lexus does not recommend blended gasoline
●
If you use gasohol in your Lexus, be sure that it has an octane rating no lower
than 87. ●
Lexus DOES NOT recommend the use of gasoline containing methanol.■
Lexus does not recommend gasoline containing MMT
Some gasoline contains octane enhancin g additive called MMT (Methylcy clopen-
tadienyl Manganese Tricarbonyl).
Lexus DOES NOT recommend the use of gasoline that contains MMT. If fuel con-
taining MMT is used, your emission control system may be adversely affected.
The malfunction indicator lamp on the inst rument cluster may come on. If this hap-
pens, contact your Lexus dealer for service. ●
Use only gasoline containing a maximum
of 10% ethanol.
DO NOT use any flex-fuel or gasoline that
could contain more than 10% ethanol,
including from any pump labeled E15, E30,
E50, E85 (which are only some examples
of fuel containing mo re than 10% ethanol).DO NOT use gasoline con-
taining more th an 10% etha-
nol.
(15% ethanol)
(50% ethanol)
(85% ethanol)

LX570_OM_OM60L21U_(U) NOTICE■
Notice on fuel quality ●
Do not use improper fuels. If improper fuels are used the engine will be damaged. ●
Do not use leaded gasoline.
Leaded gasoline can cause damage to your vehicle’s three-way catalytic convert-
ers causing the emission control system to malfunction. ●
Do not use gasohol other than that stated here.
Other gasohol may cause fuel system damage or vehicle performance problems. ●
Using unleaded gasoline with an octane number or rating lower than that stated
here will cause persistent heavy knocking.
At worst, this will lead to engine damage.■
Fuel-related poor driveability
If after using a different type of fuel, poor driveability is encountered (poor hot start-
ing, vaporization, engine knoc king, etc.), discontinue the use of that type of fuel.■
When refueling with gasohol
Take care not to spill gasohol. It can damage your vehicle’s paint.

Tire size (  P. 8 9 7 )
Summer tire or all season tire (  P. 76 6 )An all season tire has “M+S” on the si dewall. A tire not marked “M+S” is a
summer tire.
Uniform tire quality grading For details, see “Uniform Tire Quality Grading” that follows.
DOT and Tire Identification Number (TIN) (  P. 8 9 6 )
Tire ply composition and materials Plies are layers of rubber-coated parallel cords. Cords are the strands
which form the plies in a tire.
Location of treadwear indicators (  P. 76 2 )
Load limit at maximum cold tire inflation pressure (  P. 900)
Maximum cold tire inflation pressure (  P. 900)This means the pressure to which a tire may be inflated.

sure.
Radial tires or bias-ply tires A radial tire has RADIAL on the sidewall. A tire not marked RADIAL is a
bias-ply tire.

Uniform Tire Quality Grading
This information has b een prepared in accorda nce with regulations
issued by the National Highway Tr affic Safety Administration of the
U.S.A. Department of Transportation.
It provides the purchasers and/or prospective purchasers of Lexus vehi-
cles with information on uniform tire quality grading. Your Lexus dealer will help answer an y questions you may have as you read
this information.
■ DOT quality grades
All passenger vehicle tires must co nform to Federal Safety Require-
ments in addition to these grades. Quality grades can be found where
applicable on the tire sidewall between tread shoulder and maximum
section width. For example: Treadwear 200 Traction AA Temperature A

Vehicle specifications
LX570_OM_OM60L21U_(U) ■ Treadwear
The treadwear grade is a comparative rating based on the wear rate of
the tire when tested under controll ed conditions on a specified gov-
ernment test course. For example, a tire graded 150 would wear one and a half (1 - 1 /2) times as
well on the government course as a tire graded 100.
The relative performance of tires de pends upon the actual conditions of
their use, however, and may depart significantly from the norm due to varia-
tions in driving habits, service practices and differences in road characteris-
tics and climate.
■ Traction AA, A, B, C
The traction grades, from highest to lowest, are AA, A, B and C, and
they represent the tire’s ability to stop on wet pavement as measured
under controlled condit ions on specif ied government test surfaces of
asphalt and concrete. A tire marked C may have poor traction performance.
Warning: The traction grade assigned to this tire is based on braking
(straight ahead) traction tests and does not include cornering (turning) trac-
tion.
■ Temperature A, B, C
The temperature grades are A (the hi ghest), B, and C, representing
the tire’s resistance to the generation of heat and its ability to dissipate
heat when tested under controlled conditions on a specified indoor
laboratory test wheel. Sustained high temperature can cause the material of the tire to degenerate
and reduce tire life, and excessive temperature can lead to sudden tire fail-
ure.
The grade C corresponds to a level of performance which all passenger car
tires must meet under the Federal Mo tor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 109.
Grades B and A represent higher levels of performance on the laboratory
test wheel than the minimum required by law.

9006-1. Specifications
LX570_OM_OM60L21U_(U) Warning: The temperature grades for this tire are established for a tire that
is properly inflated and not overloaded.
Excessive speed, underinflation, or excess ive loading, either separately or in
combination, can cause heat buildup and possible tire failure.
