Maintenance and care
Rotate the tires in the order shown.
To equalize tire wear and extend tire life,
Lexus recommends that tire rotation is car-
ried out at the same interval as tire inspec-
tion.
Do not fail to initialize the tire pressure
warning system after tire rotation.
■When rotating the tires
Make sure that the powe r switch is OFF. If
the tires are rotated while the power switch
is in ON, the tire position information will
not be updated.
If this accidentally occurs, either turn the
power switch to OFF and then to ON, or
initialize the tire pressure warning system
after checking that the tire pressure is prop-
erly adjusted.
When run-flat tires are installed, the
vehicle can be driven for a maximum of
100 miles (160 km) at a speed below
50 mph (80 km/h) after any tire goes
flat. (However, the vehicle speed may
not increase to near 50 mph [80
km/h] depending on weather or driv-
ing conditions.)
A run-flat tire has a mark on
the sidewall.
Make sure to replace the flat tire before the
vehicle has been driven for near 100 miles
(160 km). Also, do not use a repaired tire.
WARNING
■When inspecting or replacing tires
Observe the following precautions to
prevent accidents.
Failure to do so may cause damage to
parts of the drivetrain as well as danger-
ous handling characteristics, which may
lead to an accident resulting in death or
serious injury.
●Do not mix tires of different makes,
models or tread patterns.
Also, do not mix tires of remarkably
different treadwear.
●Do not use tire sizes other than those
recommended by Lexus.
●Do not mix differently constructed
tires (radial, bias-b elted or bias-ply
tires).
●Do not mix summer, all season and
snow tires.
●Do not use tires that have been used
on another vehicle.
Do not use tires if you do not know
how they were used previously.
NOTICE
■Driving on rough roads
Take particular care when driving on
roads with loose surfaces or potholes.
These conditions may cause losses in tire
inflation pressure, reducing the cushion-
ing ability of the tires. In addition, driving
on rough roads may cause damage to
the tires themselves, as well as the vehi-
cle’s wheels and body.

■Run-flat tires
●The run-flat tires are for only this vehicle.
Do not use the tires on other vehicles.
●Do not mix run-flat tires and normal tires.
●If non-genuine Lexus wheels are used, it
may be impossible to sufficiently demon-
strate the performance of run-flat tires.
Your vehicle is equipped with a tire
pressure warning system that uses tire
pressure warning valves and transmit-
ters to detect low tire inflation pressure
before serious problems arise.
If the tire pressure drops below a
predetermined level, the driver is
warned by a screen display and a
warning light. ( P.387, 395)
The tire pressure detected by the
tire pressure warning system can be
displayed on the multi-information
display. ( P.87)
The illustration used is intended as an
example, and may differ from the image
that is actually displayed on the multi-infor-
mation display.
■Routine tire inflation pressure checks
The tire pressure warning system does not
replace routine tire inflation pressure
checks. Make sure to check tire inflation pressure as part of your routine of daily
vehicle checks.
■Tire inflation pressure
●It may take a few minutes to display the
tire inflation pressu
re after the power
switch is turned to ON. It may also take a
few minutes to display the tire inflation
pressure after inflatio n pressure has been
adjusted.
●Tire inflation pressure changes with tem-
perature. The displaye d values may also
be different from the values measured
using a tire pressure gauge.
■Situations in which the tire pressure
warning system may not operate prop-
erly
●In the following cases, the tire pressure
warning system may not operate prop-
erly.
• If non-genuine Lexus wheels are used.
• A tire has been replaced with a tire that is
not an OE (Original Equipment) tire.
• A tire has been replaced with a tire that is
not of the specified size.
• Tire chains etc. are equipped.
• An auxiliary-supported run-flat tire is equipped.
• If a window tint that affects the radio wave signals is installed.
• If there is a lot of snow or ice on the vehi- cle, particularly around the wheels or
wheel housings.
• If the tire inflation pressure is extremely higher than the specified level.
• If wheels without tire pressure warning
valves and transmitters are used.
• If the ID code on the tire pressure warn- ing valves and transmitters is not regis-
tered in the tire pressure warning
computer.
●Performance may be af fected in the fol-
lowing situations.
• Near a TV tower, electric power plant,
gas station, radio stat ion, large display,
airport or other fac ility that generates
strong radio waves or electrical noise
• When carrying a portable radio, cellular
phone, cordless phone or other wireless
communication device
If tire position information is not correctly
displayed due to the radio wave conditions,

When trouble arises
form the procedure on P.365 to clean
them.
• If the warning message is shown when
the air intake vent and filter of the hybrid
battery (traction battery) are not dirty,
have the vehicle inspected by your Lexus
dealer.
Take your vehicle to the nearest Lexus
dealer or authorized tire dealer as
soon as possible if any tire goes flat.
The vehicle can be driven for a maximum
of 100 miles (160 km) at a speed below 50
mph (80 km/h) after the tire pressure
warning light comes on. ( P.387)
A run-flat tire has a mark on the
side wall.
■In some condition (such as at high tem-
peratures)
You cannot continue dr iving for up to 100
miles (160 km).
■For the detailed information on run-flat
tires
P.347
NOTICE
■If “High Power Consumption Power
to Climate Temporarily Limited” is
displayed frequently
There is a possible malfunction relating
to the charging system or the 12-volt bat-
tery may be deteriorating. Have the vehi-
cle inspected by your Lexus dealer.
■If “Low Auxiliary Battery” is displayed
frequently
The 12-volt battery may have deterio-
rated. As the battery may discharge in
this state when left unattended, have the
battery inspected by your Lexus dealer.
If you have a flat tire
Your vehicle is not equipped with a
spare tire, but instead you can con-
tinue driving the vehicle with run-
flat tires even if any tire goes flat.
In this case, slow down and drive
with extra caution.

■Starting the hybrid system when the 12-
volt battery is discharged
The hybrid system cannot be started by
push-starting.
■To prevent 12-volt battery discharge
●Turn off the headlight s, the air condition-
ing system, the audio system, etc. while
the hybrid system is off.
●Turn off any unnecessary electrical com-
ponents when the vehicle is running at a
low speed for an extended period, such
as in heavy traffic.
■Charging the 12-volt battery
The electricity stored in the 12-volt battery
will discharge gradua lly even when the
vehicle is not in use, due to natural dis-
charge and the draining effects of certain
electrical appliances. If the vehicle is left for
a long time, the 12-volt battery may dis-
charge, and the hybrid system may be
unable to start. (The 12-volt battery
recharges automatically while the hybrid
system is operating.)
■When the 12-volt battery is removed or
discharged
●Information stored in the ECU is cleared.
When the 12-volt battery is depleted,
have the vehicle inspected at your Lexus
dealer.
●In some cases, it may not be possible to
unlock the doors using the smart access
system with push-button start when the
12-volt battery is discharged. Use the
wireless remote control or the mechani-
cal key to lock or unlock the doors.
●The hybrid system may not start on the
first attempt after the 12-volt battery has
recharged but will start normally after the
second attempt. This is not a malfunction.
●The power switch mode is memorized by
the vehicle. When the 12-volt battery is
reconnected, the system will return to the
mode it was in before the 12-volt battery
was discharged. Before disconnecting
the 12-volt battery, turn the power switch
off.
If you are unsure what mode the power
switch was in before the 12-volt battery discharged, be especially careful when
reconnecting the 12-volt battery.
●The power back door must be initialized.
(
P.119)
■When replacing the 12-volt battery
●Use a Central Degassing type 12-volt
battery (European Regulations).
●Use a 12-volt battery that the case size is
same as the previous one (LN1), 20 hour
rate capacity (20HR) is equivalent
(45Ah) or greater, and performance rat-
ing (CCA) is equivalent (286A) or
greater.
• If the sizes differ, the 12-volt battery can- not be properly secured.
• If an improper 12-volt battery is used, bat-
tery performance may decrease and the
hybrid system may not be able to restart.
• If the 20 hour rate capacity is low, even if
the time period where the vehicle is not
used is a short time, the 12-volt battery
may discharge and hybrid system may
not be able to start.
●Use a 12-volt battery with a handle. If a
12-volt battery without a handle is used,
removal is more difficult.
●After exchanging, firmly attach the fol-
lowing items to the exhaust hole of the 12-
volt battery.
• Confirm that the elbow is securely attached to the exhaust hose and exhaust
hole.
• Confirm that the exhaust hole plug is securely attached to the exhaust hole that
the elbow is not attached to.
• Use the elbow/exhaust hole plug included with the 12-volt battery
exchanged or the on e installed on the
battery prior to the exchange. (Depend-
ing on the 12-volt battery to be
exchanged, the exhaust hole may be
plugged.)
