ing your tires, check that the wheel

ful 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.

ONever use an inner tube in a leaking
wheel which is designed for a tubeless
tire. Doing so may result in an acci-
dent, causing death or serious injury.
QUse of defective wheels prohibited

during driving, possibly causing an acci-
dent.

your tire pressure warning valves and
transmitters at your Lexus dealer.
