RX350/RX200t_EE_OM48F32E
WARNING
■Limitations of the Intelligent Clearance Sonar system
Do not overly rely on the system, as doing so may lead to an accident.
●The driver is solely responsible for safe dr iving. Always drive carefully, taking care to
observe your surroundings. The Intelligent Clearance Sonar system is designed to provide support to lessen the severity of collisions. However, it may not operate in some situations.
●The Intelligent Clearance Sonar system is not designed to stop the vehicle com- pletely. Additionally, even if the system has stopped the vehicle, it is necessary todepress the brake pedal immediately as brak e control will be canceled after approxi-
mately 2 seconds.
■To ensure the Intelligent Clearance Sonar system can operate properly
Observe the following precautions regarding the sensors ( P. 383). Failure to do so
may cause a sensor to not operate properly, and may cause an accident.
●Do not modify, disassemble or paint the sensors.
●Do not replace a sensor with a part other than a genuine part.
●Do not subject a sensor or its surrounding area to a strong impact.
●Do not damage the sensors, and always keep them clean.
Observe the following precautions regarding the radar sensors ( P. 360). Failure to
do so may cause a radar sensor to not operate properly, and may cause an accident.
●Do not modify, disassemble or paint the sensors.
●Do not replace a radar sensor with a part other than a genuine part.
●Do not subject a radar sensor or its surrounding area to a strong impact.
●Do not damage the radar sensors, and alwa ys keep the radar sensors and their sur- rounding area on the bumper clean.
■Handling the suspension
Do not modify the suspension, as changes to the height or inclination of the vehicle may prevent the sensors from detecting objects correctly or cause the system to not oper-
ate or operate unnecessarily.

Driving
RX350/RX200t_EE_OM48F32E
●Specific design characteristics give it a higher center of gravity than ordinary
passenger cars. This vehicle design feature causes this type of vehicle to be
more likely to rollover. And, utility vehicles have a significantly higher rollover
rate than other types of vehicles.
●An advantage of the higher ground clearance is a better view of the road
allowing you to anticipate problems.
●It is not designed for cornering at the same speeds as ordinary passenger cars
any more than low-slung sports cars are designed to perform satisfactorily
under off-road conditions. Therefore, sharp turns at excessive speeds may
cause the vehicle to rollover.
Utility vehicle precautions
This vehicle belongs to the utility vehicle class, which has higher ground clear-
ance and narrower tread in relation to the height of its center of gravity.
Utility vehicle feature
WARNING
■Utility vehicle precautions
Always observe the following precautions to minimize the risk of death, serious injury or damage to your vehicle:
●In a rollover crash, an unbelted person is significantly more likely to die than a person
wearing a seat belt. Therefore, the driver and all passengers should always fasten their seat belts.
●Avoid sharp turns or abrupt maneuvers, if at all possible.
Failure to operate this vehicle correctly may re sult in loss of control or vehicle rollover causing death or serious injury.
●Loading cargo on the roof luggage carrier wi ll make the center of the vehicle gravity
higher. Avoid high speeds, sudden starts, sharp turns, sudden braking or abrupt maneuvers, otherwise it may result in loss of control or vehicle rollover due to failure to operate this vehicle correctly.
●Always slow down in gusty crosswinds. Because of its profile and higher center ofgravity, your vehicle is more sensitive to side winds than an ordinary passenger car.Slowing down will allow you to have better control.
●Do not drive horizontally across steep slopes . Driving straight up or straight down is preferred. Your vehicle (or any similar off- road vehicle) can tip over sideways much
more easily than forward or backward.

WARNING
■Using the tire jack
Observe the following precautions. Improper use of the tire jack may cause the vehicle to suddenly fall off the jack, leading
to death or serious injury.
●Do not use the tire jack for any purpose ot her than replacing tires or installing and removing tire chains.
●Only use the tire jack that comes with this vehicle for replacing a flat tire. Do not use it on other vehicles, and do no t use other tire jacks for replacing tires on this vehicle.
●Put the jack properly in its jack point.
●Do not put any part of your body under the vehicle while it is supported by the jack.
●Do not start the engine or drive the vehicle while the vehicle is supported by the jack.
●Do not raise the vehicle while someone is inside.
●When raising the vehicle, do not put an object on or under the jack.
●Do not raise the vehicle to a height greater than that required to replace the tire.
●Use a jack stand if it is necessary to get under the vehicle.
●When lowering the vehicle, make sure that there is no-one near the vehicle. If there are people nearby, warn them vocally before lowering.

When trouble arises
RX350/RX200t_EE_OM48F32E
Firmly tighten each wheel nut two or
three times in the order shown in the
illustration.
Tightening torque:
103 N·m (10.5 kgf·m, 76 ft·lbf)
Vehicles with a full-size spare tire:
Reinstall the wheel ornament.
Stow the flat tire, tire jack and all tools.
■The compact spare tire (vehicles with a compact spare tire)
●The compact spare tire is identified by the label “TEMPORARY USE ONLY” on the
tire sidewall. Use the compact spare tire temporarily, and only in an emergency.
●Make sure to check the tire inflation pressure of the compact spare tire. (P. 737)
■When using the compact spare tire (vehicles with a compact spare tire)
As the compact spare tire is not equipped with a tire pressure warning valve and trans- mitter, low inflation pressure of the spare tire will not be indicated by the tire pressure
warning system. Also, if you replace the compact spare tire after the tire pressure warn- ing light comes on, th e light remains on.
■When the compact spare tire is equipped (vehicles with a compact spare tire)
When driving with the compact spare tire installed, the vehicle height will be different than when driving with standard tires.
■If you have a flat front tire on a road covered with snow or ice (vehicles with a compact
spare tire)
Install the compact spare tire on one of the rear wheels of the vehicle. Perform the follow- ing steps and fit tire chains to the front tires:
Replace a rear tire with the compact spare tire.
Replace the flat front tire with the tire removed from the rear of the vehicle.
Fit tire chains to the front tires.

NOTICE
■Be careful when driving over bumps with the compact spare tire installed on the vehi- cle (vehicles with a compact spare tire)
When driving with the compact spare tire installed, the vehicle height will be different
than when driving with standard tires. Be careful when driving over uneven road sur- faces, etc.
■Driving with tire chains and the compact spare tire (vehicles with a compact spare
tire)
Do not fit tire chains to the compact 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 any authorized Lexus dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and
equipped professional as the tire pressure warning valve and transmitter may be dam- aged if not handled correctly.
