tively affect the drive-train components:
• AWD system (AWD models)
■Speed limit when using the compact
spare tire
Do not drive at speeds in excess of 50
mph (80 km/h) when a compact spare
tire is installed on the vehicle.
The compact spare tire is not designed
for driving at high speeds. Failure to
observe this precaution may lead to an

■After using the tools and jack
Before driving, make sure all the tools
and jack are securely in place in their
storage location to reduce the possibility
of personal injury during a collision or
sudden braking.

with the compact spare tire compared to
when driving with standard tires. Be
careful when driving over uneven road
surfaces.
■Driving with tire chains and the com-
pact spare tire
Do not fit tire chains to the compact

without a tire on the hoist assembly, the
wire cable may not be able to be low-
ered. If the wire cable cannot be low-
ered, contact your Lexus dealer.
