When trouble arises
WARNING
●Never apply oil or grease to the wheel
bolts or their contact surface on the
wheel .
Doing so may cause the wheel bolts to
be tightened excessively, leading to
damage to the wheel bolts, the
threaded portion the wheel bolts install
to , or the wheel.
Also, the wheel bolts may come loose,
possibly leading to the wheel coming
off, causing a serious accident.
If oil or grease is at tached to either of
these parts, remove it.
●When installing a wheel, use the same
wheel bolts that we re removed with
the wheel. Also, do not use any wheel
bolts other than Lexus Genuine wheel
bolts.
●Do not attach a heavily damaged
wheel ornament, as it may fly off the
wheel while the vehicle is moving.
●If a wheel bolt hole in a wheel or the
threads of a wheel bolt or the wheel
hub are deformed, cracked, rusty or
otherwise damaged, have the vehicle
inspected by your Lexus dealer.
■When tightening the wheel bolts
Do not tighten the wheel bolts exces-
sively. Doing so may cause the wheel
bolts, the threads of the wheel hub, or the
wheel to be damaged.
A
B
■Guide pin
When removing or installing a tire, make
sure to use the guide pin.
Also, the guide pin is made of resin. It
may be damaged if the wheel is placed
anywhere other than or if a large
amount of force is applied to the guide
pin.

provided is specific ally designed for
use with your vehicle. Do not use your
compact spare tire on another vehicle.
●Do not use more than one compact
spare tires simultaneously.
●Replace the compact spare tire with a
standard tire as soon as possible.
●Avoid sudden acceleration, abrupt
steering, sudden br aking and shifting
operations that cause sudden engine
braking.
■When the compact spare tire is
attached
The vehicle speed may not be correctly
detected, and the following systems may
