The location of treadwear indicators is

molded into the side wall of each tire.

tors are showing on a tire.
WARNING
■When adding washer fluid
Do not add washer fluid when the engine
is hot or running as washer fluid contains
alcohol and may catch fire if spilled on
the engine, etc.
NOTICE
■Do not use any fluid other than
washer fluid
Do not use soapy water or engine anti-
freeze instead of washer fluid.
Doing so may cause streaking on the
vehicle’s painted surfaces, as well as
damaging the pump leading to problems
of the washer fluid not spraying.
■Diluting washer fluid
Dilute washer fluid with water as neces-
sary.
Refer to the freezing temperatures listed
on the label of the washer fluid bottle.
Tires
Replace or rotate tires in accor-

WARNING
Also, not only can the following system
not be utilized fully, but it may even nega-
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
accident causing deat h or serious injury.
■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.
NOTICE
■Be careful when driving over bumps
with the compact spare tire installed
on the vehicle
The vehicle becomes lower when driving
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
spare tire. Tire chai ns may damage the
vehicle body and adversely affect driving
performance.
■When replacing the tires
When removing or fitting the wheels,
tires or the tire pressure warning valve
and transmitter, contact your Lexus
dealer as the tire pr essure warning valve
and transmitter may be damaged if not
handled correctly.
■When stowing the flat tire (RX350L)
●Ensure that there is no object caught
between the tire and the vehicle
underbody.
●Securely tighten the spare tire clamp
bolt to hold the spare wheel carrier by
the hook.
●Stow the flat tire in the spare tire loca-
tion. Failure to do so may cause dam-
age to the spare tire carrier. Proper
storage reduces the possibility of injury
in a collision or during sudden braking.
●Have the flat tire repaired and the
spare tire replaced wi th it as soon as
possible.
■Proper storage of the spare tire
(RX350L)
●If the hoist assembly is slanted when
stowing a tire, the hoist assembly may
become stuck in the wheel opening
and the tire may not be raised properly,
causing damage to the wheel or the
wire cable.
●If the spare tire clamp bolt is turned
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.
