TIRE POSITIONING BEFORE NEW
VEHICLE DELIVERY

Technical Service
Information Bulletin
March 2, 2005
PG002-05
During the manufacturing process, tire characteristics are measured. Tires are then
mounted on the vehicle as matched sets to help reduce conditions such as pulling or
drifting. If the wheels are replaced or refinished before vehicle delivery, it is important
that the tires remain on the vehicle in the same location and in the same direction
of rotation.
Please refer to the following procedure to ensure that the original tires stay in the same
location on the vehicle.
All 2005 ± 2006 model year Lexus vehicles.
1. Mark the tire installation position on the inward facing tire sidewall.
Example: Front Right = FR, Front Left = FL, Rear Right = RR, Rear Left = RL
2. Install the original tires on the new or refinished wheels with the marked side
facing inwards.
3. Place the tire/wheel assemblies on the vehicle in the marked positions.
NOTE:
Torque the wheel nuts to the proper torque value in sequence.

The vehicle is in an accident and the plate is damaged.
NOTE:
The original plate to be replaced MUST accompany the request.
NOTE:
If a plate is stolen, be sure to contact the State Police or your State's Department of
Motor Vehicles (DMV). In most cases the State DMV will issue a unique number so that
the original number can be included on stolen vehicle listings. If this is the case, a
replacement plate is NOT available from Lexus. However, the original VIN, NOT the
state issued VIN, must be used on all warranty claims.
To request a replacement plate, complete a copy of the form on the back of this page.
Note that the damaged VIN plate MUST accompany the request form. Your dealer parts
account will be billed $25.00
for each replacement of a damaged plate.

All replacement plates for damaged and/or stolen vehicles are subject to approval by
the Technical Compliance Department. If you have any specific questions, contact
(310) 468±3390.

BATTERY MAINTENANCE FOR

Models:
All Models & Model Years Through Current
Technical Service
Information Bulletin
September 12, 2002
PG009-02
A battery in a stored vehicle is subject to conditions that can reduce its performance and
life. These conditions include storage period, temperature, parasitic drain, and battery
load. Because of these factors, battery inspection and maintenance are required in
order to ensure proper operation and optimal battery life.
As a matter of policy, Lexus does not provide battery warranty coverage for discharged
and/or failed batteries due to lack of maintenance; it is the dealer's responsibility to
maintain the specified state of charge of the vehicle's battery while in stock and assure
proper state of charge at delivery.
To eliminate customer service concerns due to an undercharged battery during the first
few weeks of ownership, all dealers should check battery state of charge and
recharge, if necessary, just prior to delivery (i.e., within 48 hours of delivery).
This new procedure will improve the new vehicle ownership experience by greatly
reducing the risk of having a low performance battery concern due to extended storage
periods and/or short engine run times prior to the vehicle sale.
All models and model years through current.

NOTE:
The ªFast Battery Chargersº listed above have been tested and approved by Lexus.
These state±of±the±art ªsmartº chargers were designed to charge batteries at an
accelerated rate, without the possibility of damage. Using non±microprocessor
controlled battery chargers for fast charging purposes can damage the battery.
All vehicles are to be inspected according to the procedures listed below using the
MICROPRO 815 battery tester no more than 48 hours prior to customer vehicle delivery.
PRIOR TO TESTING:
If necessary, remove battery surface charge by turning on high beam headlights for 60
seconds, then let battery voltage recover for one minute.
1. Connect test clamps to battery.
(Display will show four zeros
indicating a good connection).
2. For cold battery (<32
F) or after
charge test, press TEST MODE key
until appropriate test is selected.
3. Input battery stock number.
NOTE:
Stock number must be used for
warranty cases because you cannot
read the warranty code if CCA/CA
rating is input.
4. Press STK#/Code key to start test.
NOTE:
Stock numbers are listed on the
reference card located in the tester's
cover. Stock numbers can also be
referenced on TIS. The TIS listings
will always have up±to±date
information.

In addition to this new pre±delivery battery test, a monthly battery inspection is still
required for stored vehicles. If your dealership is located in an area subject to extreme
temperatures (hot or cold), periodic maintenance may need to be performed more
frequently.
To reduce parasitic battery drain for vehicles in storage for one week or more, the
negative battery cable should always be disconnected to reduce battery discharge.
When the negative battery cable is reconnected, please check and reset electrical
components such as the clock, radio, etc.
NOTE:
For your reference, the electrical system is made inoperative by removing the
appropriate fuse indicated in the Electrical Wiring Diagram. Recom-
