Driving with incorrect tire inflation pressure may result in the following: ●
Reduced fuel efficiency ●
Reduced driving comfort and tire life ●
Reduced safety ●
Damage to the drive train
If a tire needs frequent refilling, have it checked by your Lexus dealer. ■
Instructions for checking tire inflation pressure
When checking tire inflation pressure, observe the following: ●
Check only when the tires are cold.
If your vehicle has been parked for at least 3 hours and has not been driven for
more than 1 mile or 1.5 km, you will get an accurate cold tire inflation pressure
reading. ●
