When trouble arises
Remove any dirt or foreign matter
from the wheel contact surface.
If foreign matter is on the wheel contact
surface, the wheel nuts may loosen
while the vehicle is in motion, causing
the tire to come off.
Install the spare tire and loosely tighten each wheel nut by hand by approxi-
mately the same amount.
When replacing an aluminum wheel
with a steel wheel, tighten the wheel
nuts until the tapered portion comes
into loose contact with the disc
wheel seat.
When replacing an aluminum wheel
with an aluminum wheel, turn the
wheel nuts until the washers come
into contact with the disc wheel.
Lower the vehicle.

Firmly tighten each wheel nut two or
three times in the order shown in the
illustration.
Tightening torque:

Stow the flat tire, tire jack and all tools.
■The spare tire
●GS350/GS200t: The spare tire is identified by the label “TEMPORARY USE ONLY”
on the tire sidewall.
●Use the spare tire temporarily, and only in an emergency.
●Make sure to check the tire inflation pressure of the spare tire. (P. 5 5 0 )
■When using the spare tire
As the spare tire is not equipped with a tire pressure warning valve and transmitter, low
inflation pressure of the spare tire will not be indicated by the tire pressure warning sys-
tem. Also, if you replace the spare tire after the tire pressure warning light comes on, the
light remains on.
■When the spare tire is equipped
The vehicle may become lower when driving with the spare tire compared to when driv-
ing with standard tires.
■If you have a flat rear tire on a road covered with snow or ice (vehicles with front and
rear tires of the same size)
Install the compact spare tire on one of the front wheels of the vehicle. Perform the fol-
lowing steps and fit tire chains to the rear tires:
Replace a front tire with the compact spare tire.
Replace the flat rear tire with the tire removed from the front of the vehicle.
Fit tire chains to the rear tires.

■When using the spare tire
●Remember that the spare tire provided is specifically designed for use with your vehi-
cle. Do not use your spare tire on another vehicle.
●Do not use more than one spare tire simultaneously.
●Replace the spare tire with a stan dard tire as soon as possible.
●Avoid sudden acceleration, abrupt steering, sudden braking and shifting operations
that cause sudden engine braking.

■When the spare tire is attached
The vehicle speed may not be correctly detected, and the following systems may not
operate correctly:
Also, not only can the following system not be utilized fully, but it may even negatively
affect the drive-train components:
•AWD system
■Speed limit when using the spare tire
Do not drive at speeds in excess of 50 mp h (80 km/h) when a spare tire is installed on
the vehicle.
The spare tire is not designed for driving at high speeds. Failure to observe this precau-
tion may lead to an accident causing death or serious injury.
■After using the tools and jack
Before driving, make sure all the tools and jack are securely in place in their storage
location to reduce the possibility of personal injury during a collision or sudden brak-
ing.
NOTICE
■Be careful when driving over bumps with the spare tire installed on the vehicle.
The vehicle may become lower when driving with the spare tire compared to when
driving with standard tires. Be careful when driving over uneven road surfaces.
■Driving with tire chains and the spare tire
Do not fit tire chains to the spare tire.
Tire chains may damage the vehicle body and adversely affect driving performance.
■When replacing the tires
When removing or fitting the wheels, tires or the tire pressure warning valve and trans-
mitter, contact your Lexus dealer as the tire pressure warning valve and transmitter
may be damaged if not handled correctly.

GS350_200t_GS F_OM_OM30E86U_(U)7-2. Steps to take in an emergency
If you have a flat tire (vehicles without spare tire)
●Stop the vehicle in a safe place on a hard, flat surface.
●Set the parking brake.
●Shift the shift lever to P.
●Stop the engine.
●Turn on the emergency flashers. (
P. 4 4 2 )
Your vehicle is not equipped with a spare tire, but instead is equipped with an
emergency tire puncture repair kit.
A puncture caused by a nail or screw passing through the tire tread can be
repaired temporarily with the emer gency tire puncture repair kit.
WA R N I N G
■If you have a flat tire
Do not continue driving with a flat tire.
Driving even a short distance with a flat ti re can damage the tire and the wheel beyond
repair, which could result in an accident.
Driving with a flat tire may cause a ci rcumferential groove on the side wall.
In such a case, the tire may explode when using a repair kit.
