directly after purchasing the vehicle or 
after replacing the engine
●If low quality oil or oil of an inappropriate

Maintenance and care
roads or icy roads, the use of snow tires is 
recommended. When installing snow 
tires, be sure to replace all four tires.
●All season tires
All season tires are designed to provide 
better traction in snow and to be ade-
quate for driving in most winter condi-
tions as well as for use year-round. All 
season tires, however, do not have ade-
quate traction performance compared 
with snow tires in heavy or loose snow. 
Also, all season tires fall short in accelera-
tion and handling performance com-
pared with summer tires in highway 
driving.
●Snow tires
For driving on snow-covered roads or icy 
roads, we recommend using snow tires. If 
you need snow tires, select tires of the 
same size, construction and load capacity 
as the originally installed tires. Since your 
vehicle has radial tires as original equip-
ment, make sure your snow tires also 
have radial construction. Do not install 
studded tires without first checking local 
regulations for possible restrictions. 
Snow tires should be installed on all 
wheels. ( P.249)
■If the tread on snow tires wears down 
below 0.16 in. (4 mm)
The effectiveness of the tires as snow tires is 
lost.
■Replacing tires (vehicles with run-flat 
tires)
Your vehicle may not be equipped with the 
following tools and jack for replacing a tire. 
In this case, when replacing tires with tires 
that are not run-flat tires, purchase tools 
and jack. Tools and jack can be purchased 
at your Lexus dealer.
●Wheel nut wrench
●Jack
●Jack handle
WARNING
■When inspecting or replacing tires
Observe the following precautions to 
prevent accidents.
Failure to do so may cause damage to 
parts of the drivetrain  as well as danger-
ous handling characteristics, which may 
lead to an accident  resulting in death or 
serious injury.
●Do not mix tires of different makes, 
models or tread patterns.
Also, do not mix tires of remarkably 
different treadwear.
●Do not use tire sizes other than those 
recommended by Lexus.
●Do not mix differently constructed 
tires (radial, bias-belted or bias-ply 
tires).
●Do not mix summer, all season and 
snow tires.
●Do not use tires that have been used 
on another vehicle.
Do not use tires if you do not know 
how they were used previously.
●Vehicles with compact spare tire: Do 
not tow if your vehicle has a compact 
spare tire installed.
NOTICE
■Driving on rough roads
Take particular care when driving on 
roads with loose surfaces or potholes. 
These conditions may cause losses in tire 
inflation pressure, reducing the cushion-
ing ability of the tires. In addition, driving 
on rough roads may cause damage to 
the tires themselves, as well as the vehi-
cle’s wheels and body.
■If tire inflation pressure of each tire 
becomes low while driving (vehicles 
without run-flat tires)
Do not continue driving, or your tires 
and/or wheels may be ruined.

Maintenance and care
■Routine tire inflation pressure checks
The tire pressure warning system does not 
replace routine tire inflation pressure 
checks. Make sure to check tire inflation 
pressure as part of  your routine of daily 
vehicle checks.
■Tire inflation pressure
●It may take a few minutes to display the 
tire inflation pressure after the engine 
switch is turned to ON. It may also take a 
few minutes to display the tire inflation 
pressure after inflation pressure has been 
adjusted.
●Tire inflation pressure changes with tem-
perature. The displayed values may also 
be different from the values measured 
using a tire pressure gauge.
■Situations in which the tire pressure 
warning system may not operate prop-
erly
●In the following cases, the tire pressure 
warning system may not operate prop-
erly.
• If non-genuine Lexus wheels are used.
• A tire has been replaced  with a tire that is 
not an OE (Original Equipment) tire.
• A tire has been replaced  with a tire that is 
not of the specified size.
• Tire chains etc. are equipped.
• An auxiliary-supported run-flat tire is  equipped.
• If a window tint that affects the radio wave  signals is installed.
• If there is a lot of snow or ice on the vehi-
cle, particularly around the wheels or 
wheel housings.
• If the tire inflation pressure is extremely 
higher than the specified level.
• If wheels without tire pressure warning  valves and transmitters are used.
• If the ID code on the tire pressure warn- ing valves and transmitters is not regis-
tered in the tire pressure warning 
computer.
●Performance may be affected in the fol-
lowing situations.
• Near a TV tower, electric power plant,  gas station, radio stat ion, large display, 
airport or other faci lity that generates 
strong radio waves or electrical noise • When carrying a portable radio, cellular 
phone, cordless phone or other wireless 
communication device
If tire position information is not correctly 
displayed due to the radio wave conditions, 
the display may be corrected by driving and 
changing the radio  wave conditions.
●When the vehicle is parked, the time 
taken for the warning to start or go off 
could be extended.
●When tire inflation pr essure declines rap-
idly for example when a tire has burst, the 
warning may not function.
■Warning performance of the tire pres-
sure warning system
The warning of the tire pressure warning 
system will change in accordance with the 
conditions under which it  was initialized. For 
this reason, the system may give a warning 
even if the tire pressure does not reach a 
low enough level, or if the pressure is higher 
than the pressure that was adjusted to when 
the system was initialized.
