WARNING
■Replacing a flat tire
●Do not touch the disc wheels or the area around the brakes immediately after thevehicle has been driven.After the vehicle has been driven the disc wheels and the area around the brakes will
be extremely hot. Touching these areas with hands, feet or other body parts while changing a tire, etc. may result in burns.
●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, leading 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 orgrease from the wheel bolts or wheel nuts.
• Have the wheel nuts tightened with a torque wrench to 103 N•m (10.5 kgf•m, 76 ft•lbf) as soon as possible after changing wheels.• When installing a tire, 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 holesof the wheel, have the vehicle inspected by any authorized Lexus retailer or Lexus
authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.

When trouble arises
GS450h_300h_OM_OM30F92E_(EE)
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)
Stow the flat tire, tire jack and all tools.
■The 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. 555)
■When using the compact spare tire (vehicles with the tire pressure warning system)
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, the light remains on.
■When the compact spare tire is equipped
The vehicle may become lower when driving with the compact spare tire compared to when driving with standard tires.
■If you have a flat rear tire on a road covered with snow or ice (vehicles with front andrear tires of the same size and compact spare tire only)
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.

■If the tire is inflated to more 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 se veral seconds, and then turn it off. Check that the air pressure indicator shows the recommended level. ( P. 555) 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 is repaired with the emergency tire puncture repair kit
●The tire pressure warning valve and transmitter should be replaced.
●Vehicles with the tire pressure warning system: Even if the tire inflation pressure is at the recommended level, the ti re pressure warning light may come on/flash.
■Note for checking the emergency tire puncture repair kit
Check the sealant expiry date occasionally. The expiry date is shown on the bottle.Do not use sealant whose expiry date has already passed. Otherwise, repairs conducted
using the emergency tire puncture repair kit may not be performed properly.
Install the air release cap to the end of the hose and push the protrusion on the airrelease cap into the tire valve to let some air
out.
WARNING
■Caution while driving
Observe the following precautions. Failure to do so may cause an accident.
●The emergency tire puncture repair kit is made exclusively for your vehicle. Do not
use it on other vehicles.
●Do not use the emergency tire puncture repair kit for tires that are a different size than the specified ones or fo r any other purpose. Doing so may cause the tires to not
be repaired properly.
■Precautions for use of the sealant
●Ingesting the sealant is hazardous to your health. If you ingest sealant, consume as
much water as possible, and then immediately consult a doctor.
●If sealant gets in eyes or adheres to skin, i mmediately wash it off with water. If discom- fort persists, consult a doctor.

When trouble arises
GS450h_300h_OM_OM30F92E_(EE)
■Starting the hybrid system when the 12-volt battery is discharged
The hybrid system cannot be started by push-starting.
■To prevent 12-volt battery discharge
●Turn off the headlights and the audio system while the hybrid system is off.
●Turn off any unnecessary electrical componen ts when the vehicle is running at a low speed for an extended period, such as in heavy traffic.
■Charging the 12-volt battery
The electricity stored in the 12-volt battery will discharge gradually even when the vehicle is not in use, due to natural discharge and the draining effects of certain electrical appli-ances. If the vehicle is left for a long time, the 12-volt battery may discharge, and the
hybrid system may be unable to start. (The 12-volt battery recharges automatically while the hybrid system is operating.)
■When recharging or replacing the 12-volt battery
●In some cases, it may not be possible to unlock the doors using the smart entry & startsystem when the 12-volt battery is discharged. Use the wireless remote control or themechanical key to lock or unlock the doors.
●The hybrid system may not start on the first attempt after the 12-volt battery hasrecharged but will start normally after the second attempt. This is not a malfunction.
●The power switch mode is memorized by the vehicle. When the 12-volt battery is
reconnected, the system will return to the mode it was in before the 12-volt battery was discharged. Before disconnecting the 12-v olt battery, turn the power switch off. If you are unsure what mode the power switch was in before the 12-volt battery dis-
charged, be especially careful when reconnecting the 12-volt battery.
WARNING
■Avoiding 12-volt battery fires or explosions
Observe the following precautions to prevent accidentally igniting the flammable gas that may be emitted from the 12-volt battery:
●Make sure each jumper cable is connected to the correct terminal and that it is notunintentionally in contact with any other than the intended terminal.
●Do not allow the other end of the jumper cable connected to the “+” terminal to come
into contact with any other parts or metal surfaces in the area, such as brackets or unpainted metal.
●Do not allow the + and - clamps of the jumper cables to come into contact with each
other.
●Do not smoke, use matches, cigarette lighters or allow open flame near the 12-volt battery.
