QThe compact spare tire
OThe compact spare tire is identified by
the label “TEMPORARY USE ONLY”
on the tire sidewall.
Use the compact spare tire temporarily,
and only in an emergency.
OMake sure to check the tire inflation
pressure of the compact spare tire.
( P.407)
QAfter completing the tire change
The tire pressure warning system must be
reset. ( P.334)
QWhen using the compact spare tire
As the compact spare tire is not equipped
with a tire pressure warning valve and
transmitter, low inflation pressure of the
spare tire will not be indicated by the tire
pressure warning system. Also, if you
replace the compact spare tire after the tire
pressure warning light comes on, the light
remains on.
QWhen the compact spare tire is
attached
The vehicle becomes lower when driving
with the compact spare tire compared to
when driving with standard tires.
QIf you have a flat front tire on a road cov-
ered with snow or ice (vehicles with 17-
inch tires)
Install the compact spare tire on one of the
rear wheels of the vehicle. Perform the fol-
lowing steps and fit tire chains to the front
tires: 1
Replace a rear tire with the compact
spare tire.
2 Replace the flat front tire with the tire
removed from the rear of the vehicle.
3 Fit tire chains to the front tires.
WARNING
QWhen using the compact spare tire
ORemember that the compact spare tire
provided is specifically designed for
use with your vehicle. Do not use your
compact spare tire on another vehicle.
ODo not use more than one compact
spare tire simultaneously.
OReplace the compact spare tire with a
standard tire as soon as possible.
OAvoid sudden acceleration, abrupt
steering, sudden braking and shifting
operations that cause sudden engine
braking.
QWhen the compact spare tire is
attached
The vehicle speed may not be correctly
detected, and the following systems may
not operate correctly:
• ABS & Brake assist
•VSC
•TRAC
• Dynamic radar cruise control with full- speed range
• PCS (Pre-Collision System)
•EPS
• Adaptive Variable Suspension system (if equipped)
• LTA (Lane Tracing Assist)
• Panoramic view monitor (if equipped)
• Lexus parking assist monitor (if equipped)
• Intuitive parking assist (if equipped)
• Navigation system (if equipped)
• BSM (Blind Spot Monitor)
• AHB (Automatic High Beam)

3947-2. Steps to take in an emergency
• If the sizes differ, the 12-volt battery can-not be properly secured.
• 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.
OUse a 12-volt battery with a handle. If a
12-volt battery without a handle is used,
removal is more difficult.
OAfter exchanging, firmly attach the fol-
lowing items to the exhaust hole of the
12-volt battery.
• Use the exhaust hose that was attached to the 12-volt battery before exchanging.
• Use the exhaust hole plug included with
the new 12-volt battery or the one
installed on the battery prior to the
replacement. (Depending on the new 12-
volt battery installed, the exhaust hole
may be plugged.)

WARNING
QWhen removing the 12-volt battery
terminals
Always remove the negative (-) terminal
first. If the positive (+) terminal contacts
any metal in the surrounding area when
the positive (+) terminal is removed, a
spark may occur, leading to a fire in addi-
tion to electrical shocks and death or
serious injury.
QAvoiding 12-volt battery fires or
explosions
Observe the following precautions to
prevent accidentally igniting the flamma-
ble gas that may be emitted from the 12-
volt battery:
OMake sure each jumper cable is con-
nected to the correct terminal and that
it is not unintentionally in contact with
any other than the intended terminal.
ODo not allow the other end of the
jumper cable connected to the “+” ter-
minal to come into contact with any
other parts or metal surfaces in the
area, such as brackets or unpainted
metal.
ODo not allow the + and - clamps of the
jumper cables to come into contact
with each other.
ODo not smoke, use matches, cigarette
lighters or allow open flame near the
12-volt battery.
Q12-volt battery precautions
The 12-volt battery contains poisonous
and corrosive acidic electrolyte, while
related parts contain lead and lead com-
pounds. Observe the following precau-
tions when handling the 12-volt battery:
OWhen working with the 12-volt battery,
always wear safety glasses and take
care not to allow any 12-volt battery
fluids (acid) to come into contact with
skin, clothing or the vehicle body.
ODo not lean over the 12-volt battery.
