4304-6. Driving tips
RX350/RX200t_EE_OM48F32E
Accelerate the vehicle slowly, keep a safe distance between you and the vehicle
ahead, and drive at a reduced speed suitable to road conditions.
●Park the vehicle and move the shift lever to P without setting the parking
brake. The parking brake may freeze up, preventing it from being released. If
the vehicle is parked without setting the parking brake, make sure to block the
wheels.
Failure to do so may be dangerous because it may cause the vehicle to move
unexpectedly, possibly leading to an accident.
When the parking brake is in automatic mode, release the parking brake after shifting
the shift lever to P. ( P. 259)
●If the vehicle is parked without setting the parking brake, confirm that the shift
lever cannot be moved out of P*.
*: The shift lever will be locked if it is atte mpted to be shifted from P to any other posi-
tion without depressing the brake pedal. If the shift lever can be shifted from P, there
may be a problem with the shift lock system. Have the vehicle inspected by any
authorized Lexus dealer or repairer, or an other duly qualified and equipped profes-
sional immediately.
Use the correct tire chain size when mounting the tire chains. Chain size is regu-
lated for each tire size.
Side chain:
3 mm (0.12 in.) in diameter
10.8 mm (0.43 in.) in width
25 mm (0.98 in.) in length
Cross chain:
3.9 mm (0.15 in.) in diameter
13.8 mm (0.54 in.) in width
25.3 mm (1.00 in.) in length
Regulations regarding the use of tire chai ns vary depending on location and type
of road. Always check local regulations before installing chains.

Maintenance and care
RX350/RX200t_EE_OM48F32E
When replacing wheels, care should be taken to ensure that they are equivalent
to those removed in load capacity, diameter, rim width and inset*.
Replacement wheels are available at any authorized Lexus dealer or repairer, or
another duly qualified and equipped professional.
*: Conventionally referred to as “offset”.
Lexus does not recommend using the following:
●Wheels of different sizes or types
●Used wheels
●Bent wheels that have been straightened
●Use only Lexus wheel nuts and wrenches designed for use with your alumi-
num wheels.
●When rotating, repairing or changing your tires, check that the wheel nuts are
still tight after driving 1600 km (1000 miles).
●Be careful not to damage the aluminum wheels when using tire chains.
●Use only Lexus genuine balance weights or equivalent and a plastic or rubber
hammer when balancing your wheels.
■When replacing wheels
The wheels of your vehicle are equipped with tire pressure warning valves and transmit- ters that allow the tire pressure warning sy stem to provide advance warning in the event
of a loss in tire inflation pressure. Whenever wheels are replaced, tire pressure warning valves and transmitters must be installed. (P. 615)
Wheels
If a wheel is bent, cracked or heavily corroded, it should be replaced. Other-
wise, the tire may separate from the wheel or cause a loss of handling control.

7048-2. Steps to take in an emergency
RX350/RX200t_EE_OM48F32E
■Emergency tire puncture repair kit
●The sealant has a limited life span. The expiry date is marked on the bottle. The sealant should be replaced before the expiry da te. Contact any authorized Lexus dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified an d equipped professional for replacement.
●The sealant stored in the emergency tire puncture repair kit can be used only once to temporarily repair a single tire. If the seal ant has been used and needs to be purchased, contact any authorized Lexus dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and
equipped professional. The compressor is reusable.
●The compressor can be used repeatedly.
●The sealant can be used when the outside temperature is from -40 C (-40F) to 60C
(140 F).
●The kit is exclusively designed for size and type of tires originally installed on your vehi- cle. Do not use it for tires that a different size than the original ones, or for any other
purposes.
●If the sealant gets on your clothes, it may stain.
●If the sealant adheres to a wheel or the surface of the vehicle body, the stain may not be
removable if it is not cleaned at once. Immediately wipe away the sealant with a wet cloth.
●During operation of the kit, a loud operatio n noise is produced. This does not indicate a
malfunction.
●Do not use to check or to adjust the tire pressure.
■If the tire is inflated to mo re than the recommended level
Disconnect the hose from the valve.
Disconnect the hose from the valve, remove the air release cap from the hose and then reconnect the hose.
Turn the compressor switch on and wait for several seconds, then turn it off. Check that
the air pressure indicator sh ows the recommended level. (P. 737) If the air pressure is lower than the reco mmended level, turn the compressor switch on again and repeat the inflation procedure un til the recommended pressure is reached.
■After a tire repaired with the emergency tire puncture repair kit
●The tire pressure warning valve and transmitter should be replaced.
●Even if the tire inflation pressure is at the recommended level, the tire pressure warning
light may come on/flash.
Install the air release cap to the end of the
hose and push the protrusion on the air release cap into the valve to let some air out.
