LX570_OM_OM60L96U_(U) CAUTION■
Replacing a flat tire for vehicles with power back door
In cases such as when replacing tires, ma ke sure to turn off the power back door
main switch ( P. 57). Failure to do so may cause the back door to operate unin-
tentionally if the power back door switch is accidentally touched, resulting in hands
and fingers being caught and injured.
NOTICE■
Do not drive the vehicle with a flat tire.
Do not continue driving with a flat tire.
Driving even a short distance with a flat tire can damage the tire and the wheel
beyond repair. ■
When stowing the flat tire
Ensure that there is no object caught between the tire and the vehicle underbody. ■
When replacing the tires ●
When removing or fitting the wheels, tires or the tire pressure warning valve and
transmitter, contact your Lexus dealer as the tire pressure warning valve and
transmitter may be damaged if not handled correctly.●
Replace the grommets for th e tire pressure warning valves and transmitters as
well.■
To avoid damage to the tire pressure warning valves and transmitters
When a tire is repaired with liquid seal ants, the tire pressu re warning valve and
transmitter may not operate properly. If a liquid sealant is used, contact your Lexus
dealer or other qualified serv ice shop as soon as possible. Make sure to replace the
tire pressure warning valve and tran smitter when replacing the tire. ( P. 767)

When trouble arises
8835-2. Steps to take in an emergency
LX570_OM_OM60L96U_(U) CAUTION■
When attempting to free a stuck vehicle
If you choose to push the vehicle back and forth to free it, make sure the surround-
ing area is clear, to avoid striking other vehicles, objects or people. The vehicle may
also lunge forward or lunge back sudden ly as it becomes free. Use extreme cau-
tion. ■
When shifting the shift lever
Be careful not to shift th e shift lever with the acc elerator pedal depressed.
This may lead to unexpected rapid acceleration of the vehicle that may cause an
accident resulting in de ath or serious injury.
NOTICE■
To avoid damaging the transm ission and other components●
Avoid spinning the rear wheels and depr essing the accelera tor pedal more than
necessary. ●
If the vehicle remains stuck even after these procedures are performed, the vehi-
cle may require towing to be freed. ●
When a warning message for the automatic transmission fluid temperature is dis-
played while attempting to free a stuck vehicle, immediately remove your foot
from the accelerator pedal and wait until the warning message disappears. Oth-
erwise, the transm ission may become damaged. ( P. 843)

LX570_OM_OM60L96U_(U) ■ Treadwear
The treadwear grade is a comparative rating based on the wear rate of
the tire when tested under controlled conditions on a specified gov-
ernment test course. For example, a tire graded 150 would we ar one and a half (1 - 1/2) times as
well on the government cour se as a tire graded 100.
The relative performance of tires depends upon the actual conditions of
their use. Performance may differ 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 conditions on sp ecified government test surfaces of
asphalt and concrete. A tire marked C may have poor traction performance.
Warning: The traction grad e 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 highest), 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 th e material of the tire to degenerate
and reduce tire life, and excessive temperature can lead to sudden tire fail-
ure.
Grade C corresponds to a level of performance which all passenger car
tires must meet under the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 109.
Grades B and A represent higher leve ls of performance on the laboratory
test wheel than the minimum required by law.
9066-1. Specifications
LX570_OM_OM60L96U_(U) Warning: The temperature grades of a tire assume that it is properly inflated
and not overloaded.
Excessive speed, underinflation, or exce ssive loading, either separately or
in combination, can cause heat bu ildup and possible tire failure.
