7364-1. Maintenance and care
LX570_OM_OM60L96U_(U) NOTICE■
To prevent deterioration and corrosion on the body and components (aluminum
wheels etc.) ●
Wash the vehicle immediately in the following cases:
• After driving near the sea coast
• After driving on salted roads
• If coal tar or tree sap is present on the paint surface
• If dead insects, insect droppings or bird droppings are present on the paint
surface
• After driving in an area contaminated with soot, oily smok e, mine dust, iron
powder or chemical substances
• If the vehicle becomes heavily soiled with dust or mud
• If liquids such as benzene and gasoline are spilled on the paint surface ●
If the paint is chipped or scratched, have it repaired immediately. ●
To prevent the wheels from corroding, remove any dirt and store in a place with
low humidity when storing the wheels.■
Cleaning the exterior lights ●
Wash carefully. Do not use organic substances or scrub with a hard brush.
This may damage the surfaces of the lights. ●
Do not apply wax on the surfaces of the lights.
Wax may cause damage to the lenses.■
When using an automatic car wash
Turn off the wiper switch.
If the wiper switch is in “AUTO”, the wipers may operate and the wiper blades may
be damaged.

Maintenance and care
LX570_OM_OM60L96U_(U) Installing tire pressure warning valves and transmitters
When replacing tires or wheels, ti re pressure warning valves and trans-
mitters must also be installed.
When new tire pressure warning va lves and transmitters are installed,
new ID codes must be registered in the tire pressure warning computer
and the tire pressure warning system must be initialized. Have tire pres-
sure warning valve and transmitter ID codes registered by your Lexus
dealer. (  P. 768)
Initializing the tire pressure warning system
■ The tire pressure warning system must be initialized in the following
circumstances:
● When rotating the tires in above situation.
● When the set tire pressure has been changed before towing.
(  P. 895)
When the tire pressure warning sy stem is initialized, the current tire
inflation pressure is set as the benchmark pressure.

When to replace your vehicle’s tires
Tires should be replaced if: ●
You have tire damage such as cuts, splits, cracks deep enough to expose the
fabric, and bulges indicating internal damage ●
A tire goes flat repeatedly or cannot be properly repaired due to the size or
location of a cut or other damage
If you are not sure, consul t with your Lexus dealer.■
Replacing tires and wheels
If the ID code of the tire pressure warning valve and transmitter is not registered,
the tire pressure warning sy stem will not work properly. After driving for about 20
minutes, the tire pressure warning light come s on after blinking for 1 minute to indi-
cate a system malfunction. ■
When rotating the tires
Make sure that the “ENGINE START STOP” switch is off. If the tires are rotated
while the “ENGINE START STOP” switch is in IGNITION ON mode, the tire posi-
tion information will not be updated.
If this accidentally occurs, either turn the “ENGINE START STOP” switch to off
and then to IGNITION ON mode, or initia lize the system afte r checking that the
tire pressure is properly adjusted. ■
Tire life
Any tire over 6 years old mu st be checked by a qualified technician even if it has
seldom or never been used or damage is not obvious. ■
If the tread on snow tires wears down below 0.16 in. (4 mm)
The effectiveness of the tire s as snow tires is lost.

7704-3. Do-it-yourself maintenance
LX570_OM_OM60L96U_(U) ■
Maximum load of tire
Check that the number given by dividing the maximum load by 1.10 of the replace-
ment tire is greater than 1/2 of the Gr oss Axle Weight Ratings (GAWR) of either
the front axle or the rear axle, whichever is greater.
■
Tire types
1 Summer tires
Summer tires are high-speed performance tires best suited to highway driving
under dry conditions. Since summer tires do not have the same traction perfor-
mance as snow tires, summer tires are inadequate for driving on snow-covered
or icy roads. For driving on snow-cover ed roads or icy roads, the use of snow
tires is recommended. When inst alling snow tires, be sure to replace all four tires.
2 All season tires
All season tires are designed to provide better traction in snow and to be ade-
quate for driving in most winter conditions, as well as for use year round. All sea-
son tires, however, do not have adequa te traction performance compared with
snow tires in heavy or loose snow. Also, all season tires fall short in acceleration
and handling performance compared with summer tires in highway driving.
3Snow tires
For driving on snow-covered roads or icy roads, we recommend using snow
tires. If you need snow tires, select ti res of the same size, construction and load
capacity as the originally installed tires. Si nce your vehicle has radial tires as orig-
inal equipment, make sure your snow tire s also have radial construction. Do not
install studded tires without first checking local regulations for possible restric-
tion. Snow tires should be installed on all wheels. (  P. 376)For the GAWR, see the Certification Label.
For the maximum load of the tire, see the load
limit at maximum cold tire inflation pressure
mentioned on the sidewall of the tire.
(  P. 901)

7744-3. Do-it-yourself maintenance
LX570_OM_OM60L96U_(U) NOTICE■
Repairing or replacing tires, wheels, tire pressure warning valves and transmit-
ters and tire valve caps ●
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.●
Make sure to install the tire valve caps. If the tire valve caps are not installed,
water could enter the tire pr essure warning valves and the tire pressure warning
valves could be bound. ●
When replacing tire valve ca ps, do not use tire valve caps other than those speci-
fied. The cap may become stuck.■
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)■
Driving on rough roads
Take particular care when driving on roads with loose su rfaces 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. ■
If tire inflation pressures become low while driving
Do not continue driving, or your tires and/or wheels may be ruined.

7784-3. Do-it-yourself maintenance
LX570_OM_OM60L96U_(U) CAUTION■
Proper inflation is critical to save tire performance
Keep your tires properly in flated. Otherwise, the following conditions may occur
and result in an accident causing death or serious injury: ●
Excessive wear ●
Uneven wear ●
Poor handling ●
Possibility of blowouts resu lting 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 reinstall the tire valve caps.
Without the valve caps, dirt or moisture co uld get into the valve and cause air leak-
age, which could result in an accident. If the caps have been lost, replace them as
soon as possible.
