2424-6. Driving tips
Use fluids that are appropriate to 
the prevailing outside temperatures.
•Engine oil
• Engine coolant
• Power control unit coolant (LC500h)
•Washer fluid
Have a service technician inspect 
the condition of the 12-volt battery.
 Have the vehicle fitted with four 
snow tires.
Ensure that all tires are the specified size 
and the same brand.
Perform the following according to the 
driving conditions:
Do not try to forcibly open a window 
or move a wiper that is frozen. Pour 
warm water over the frozen area to 
melt the ice. Wipe away the water 
immediately to prevent it from 
freezing.
 When the outside door handle is 
frozen, unlock the doors using the 
wireless remote control. If the out-
side door handles remain retracted 
and do not move even if the doors 
are unlocked using the wireless 
remote control, pour warm water 
over the frozen area to melt the ice 
and wipe away the water immedi-
ately to prevent it from freezing. The 
outside door handle may not retract 
due to ice, however, the outside 
door handle will return to the nor-
mal position after the ice melts.
 To ensure proper operation of the 
climate control system fan, remove 
Winter driving tips
Carry out the necessary prepara-
tions and inspections before driving 
the vehicle in winter. Always drive 
the vehicle in a manner appropriate 
to the prevailing weather condi-
tions.
Preparation for winter
WARNING
■Driving with snow tires
Observe the following precautions to 
reduce the risk of accidents. 
Failure to do so may result in a loss of 
vehicle control and cause death or seri-
ous injury.
●Use tires of the specified size.
●Maintain the recommended level of air 
pressure.
●Do not drive in excess of 75 mph (120 
km/h), regardless of the type of snow 
tires being used.
●Use snow tires on all, not just some 
wheels.
NOTICE
■Driving with tire chains
Do not fit tire chains. Tire chains may 
damage the vehicle body and suspen-
sion, and adversely affect driving perfor-
mance.
■Repairing or replacing snow tires
Request repairs or replacement of snow 
tires from Lexus dealers or legitimate tire 
retailers. 
This is because the removal and attach-
ment of snow tires affects the operation 
of the tire pressure warning valves and 
transmitters.

■To prevent the windshield from fog-
ging up
Do not use the windshield defogger 
switch during cool air operation in 
extremely humid weather. The difference 
between the temperature of the outside 
air and that of the windshield can cause 
the outer surface of the windshield to fog 
up, blocking your vision.
■When the outside rear view mirror 
defoggers are operating
Do not touch the outside rear view mir-
ror surfaces, as they can become very 
hot and burn you.

3908-1. Specifications
■Treadwear
The treadwear grade is a comparative 
rating based on the wear rate of the tire 
when tested under controlled condi-
tions on a specified government test 
course.
For example, a tire graded 150 would wear 
one and a half (1 - 1/2) times as well on the 
government course as a tire graded 100.
The relative performa nce of tires depends 
upon the actual conditions of their use. 
Performance may differ significantly from 
the norm due to variatio ns in driving habits, 
service practices and differences in road 
characteristics and climate.
■Traction AA, A, B, C
The traction grades, from highest to 
lowest, are AA, A, B and C, and they 
represent the tire’s  ability to stop on 
wet pavement as measured under con-
trolled conditions on  specified govern-
ment test surfaces of asphalt and 
concrete.
A tire marked C may have poor traction 
performance.
Warning: The traction grade assigned to 
this tire is based on braking (straight 
ahead) traction tests and does not include  cornering (turning) traction.
■Temperature A, B, C
The temperature grades are A (the 
highest), B, and C, representing the 
tire’s resistance to the generation of 
heat and its ability to dissipate heat 
when tested under controlled condi-
tions on a specified indoor laboratory 
test wheel.
Sustained high temperature can cause the 
material of the tire to degenerate and 
reduce tire life, and excessive temperature 
can lead to sudd en tire failure.
Grade C corresponds to  a level of perfor-
mance which all passenger car tires must 
meet under the Fede ral Motor Vehicle 
Safety Standard No. 109.
Grades B and A represent higher levels of 
performance on the laboratory test wheel 
than the minimum required by law.
Warning: The temperature grades of a tire 
assume that it is properly inflated and not 
overloaded.
Excessive speed, unde rinflation, or exces-
sive loading, either separately or in combi-
nation, can cause heat buildup and 
possible tire failure.
