Wheels
When replacing wheels, care should be taken to ensure that they are
equivalent to those removed in load capacity, diameter, rim width and
inset
*.
Replacement wheels are available at any authorized Lexus dealer or
repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional.
*: Conventionally referred to as “offset”.
Lexus does not recommend using the following:
●Wheels of different sizes or types
●Used wheels
●Bent wheels that have been straightened
●Use only Lexus wheel nuts and wrenches designed for use with your
aluminum wheels.
●When rotating, repairing or changing your tires, check that the wheel
nuts are still tight after driving 1600 km (1000 miles).
●Be careful not to damage the aluminum wheels when using tire chains.
●Use only Lexus genuine balance weights or equivalent and a plastic or
rubber hammer when balancing your wheels.
If a wheel is bent, cracked or heavily corroded, it should be replaced.
Otherwise, the tire may separate from the wheel or cause a loss of han-
dling control.

■Emergency tire puncture repair kit
●The sealant has a limited lifespan. The expiry date is shown on the bottle. The seal-
ant should be replaced before the expiry date. Contact any authorized Lexus
dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional for replace-
ment.
●The sealant stored in the emergency tire puncture repair kit can be used only once
to temporarily repair a single tire. If the sealant has been used and need to be pur-
chased, contact any authorized Lexus dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified
and equipped professional.
●The sealant can be used when the outside temperature is from -40 °C (-40 °F) to
60 °C (140 °F).
●The repair kit is exclusively designed for size and type of tires originally installed on
your vehicle. Do not use it for tires that a different size than the original ones, or for
any other purposes.
●If the sealant gets on your clothes, it may stain.
●If the sealant adheres to a wheel or the surface of the vehicle body, the stain may
not be removable if it is not cleaned at once. Immediately wipe away the sealant
with a wet cloth.
●During operation of the repair kit, a loud operation noise is produced. This does not
indicate a malfunction.
●Do not use the emergency tire puncture re pair kit to check or to adjust the tire
pressure.
