Lane departure warning function
If the system judges that the vehicle may deviate from its lane, it alerts
the driver using beeping, screen displays and a sensory warning
* given
via the steering wheel.
*: A slight steering torque is applied for a short period of time in the direction of
the center of the lane.
Lane keeping assist function• This function will be active when the vehicle-to-vehicle distance con- trol mode of the cruise control ( →P. 289) is set with vehicle speed
above approximately 72 km/h (45 mph) and while the lane depar-
ture warning function is active.
• When the lane keeping assist function is active, a slight steering
torque will be applied, to help the driver maintain the vehicle inside

CAUTION
■Replacing a flat tire
●Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in serious injury:
• Do not try to remove the wheel ornament by hand. Take due care in handlingthe ornament to avoid unexpected personal injury.
• 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 off, 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 a ddition, 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 103 N•m (10.5 kgf•m, 76 ft•lbf) 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 any authorized Lexus dealer
or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional.
