When using Eco drive mode, the
torque corresponding to the accelera-
tor pedal depression amount can be
generated more smoothly than it is in
normal conditions. In addition, the
operation of the air conditioning sys-
tem (heating/cooling) will be mini-
mized, improving the fuel economy.
( P.242)
The Eco-friendly driving is possible by
keeping the indicate of Hybrid System
Indicator within Eco area. ( P.86)
Shift the shift position to D when
stopped at a traffic light, or driving in
heavy traffic etc. Shift the shift position
to P when parking. When using the N
position, there is no positive effect on
fuel consumption. In the N position, the
gasoline engine operates but electric-
ity cannot be generated. Also, when
using the air conditioning system, etc.,
the hybrid battery (traction battery)
power is consumed.
 Drive your vehicle smoothly. Avoid
abrupt acceleration and decelera-
tion. Gradual acceleration and
deceleration will make more effec-
tive use of the electric motor (trac-
tion motor) without having to use
gasoline engine power.
 Avoid repeated acceleration.
Repeated acceleration consumes
hybrid battery (traction battery)
power, resulting in poor fuel con-
sumption. Battery power can be
restored by driving with the acceler-
ator pedal slightly released.
Make sure to operate the brakes gently
and in a timely manner. A greater
amount of electrical energy can be
regenerated when slowing down.
Repeated acceleration and decelera-
tion, as well as long waits at traffic
lights, will lead to bad fuel economy.
Check traffic reports before leaving
and avoid delays as much as possible.
When driving in a traffic jam, gently
release the brake pedal to allow the
vehicle to move forward slightly while
avoiding overuse of the accelerator
pedal. Doing so can help control
excessive gasoline consumption.

6-3. Do-it-yourself maintenance
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.
2 Install the tire and loosely tighten
each wheel nut by hand by approxi-
mately the same amount.
Turn the wheel nuts until the washers come
into contact with the disc wheel.

3 Lower the vehicle.
4 Firmly tighten each wheel nut two
or three times in the order shown in
the illustration.
Tightening torque: 140 N•m (14.3 kgf•m, 103.3 ft•lbf)

WARNING
■When installing the tire
Failure to follow these precautions could cause the wheel nuts to loosen and the tire to fall off, resulting in death or serious
injury.
●Never use oil or grease on the wheel bolts or wheel nuts.Oil and grease may cause the wheel
nuts to be excessively tightened, lead- ing to bolt or disc wheel damage. In addition, the oil or grease can cause
the wheel nuts to loosen and the wheel may fall off, causing a serious accident. Remove any oil or grease from the
wheel bolts or wheel nuts.
●Have the wheel nuts tightened with a torque wrench to 140 N•m (14.3 kgf•m, 103.3 ft•lbf) as soon as possible
after changing wheels.
●Do not attach a heavily damaged wheel ornament, as it may fly off the wheel while the vehicle is moving.
●When installing a ti re, only use wheel
nuts that have been specifically designed for that wheel.
●If there are any cracks or deformations in the bolt screws, nut threads or bolt
holes of the wheel, have the vehicle inspected by any authorized Lexus retailer or Lexus authorized repairer,
or any reliable repairer.
■After using the tools and jack
Before driving, make sure all the tools and jack are stored securely in place. Failure to do so may cause injury in case
of a collision or sudden braking.
NOTICE
■Repairing or replacing tires, wheels, tire pressure warning valves, trans-mitters and tire valve caps
