4Raise the vehicle until the tire is
slightly raised off the ground.
5
Remove all the wheel nuts and the
tire.
When resting the tire on the ground, place
the tire so that the wh eel design faces up to
avoid scratching the wheel surface.
1Remove any dirt or foreign matter
from the wheel contact surface.
If foreign matter is on the wheel contact
surface, the wheel nuts may loosen while
the vehicle is in motion, causing the tire to
WARNING
■Replacing a flat tire
●Do not touch the disc wheels or the
area around the brakes immediately
after the vehicle 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 of f, 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 or grease
from the wheel bolts or wheel nuts.
• Have the wheel nuts tightened with a torque wrench to 76 ft•lbf (103 N•m,
10.5 kgf•m) 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 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
holes of the wheel, have the vehicle
inspected by your Lexus dealer.

When trouble arises
come off.
2Install the spare tire and loosely
tighten each wheel nut by hand by
approximately the same amount.
When replacing an aluminum wheel with a
steel wheel, tighten the wheel nuts until the
tapered portion comes into loose con-
tact with the disc wheel seat .
When replacing an aluminum wheel with
an aluminum wheel, turn the wheel nuts
until the washers come into contact
with the disc wheel .
3Lower the vehicle.
4 Firmly tighten each wheel nut two
or three times in the order shown in
the illustration.
Tightening torque:
76 ft•lbf (103 N•m, 10.5 kgf•m)
5Stow the flat tire, tire jack and all
tools.
■The spare tire
●The spare tire is identified by the label
“TEMPORARY USE ONLY” on the tire
sidewall.
●Use the spare tire temporarily, and only in
an emergency.
●Make sure to check the tire inflation pres-
sure of the spare tire. ( P.324)
■When using the spare tire
As the spare tire is not equipped with a tire
pressure warning valve and transmitter, low
inflation pressure of the spare tire will not be
indicated by the tire pressure warning sys-
tem. Also, if you replace the spare tire after
the tire pressure warning light comes on,
the light remains on.
