CHECKING BRAKE FLUID
G62010
GS430
G62011
GS300
To check the fluid level, simply look at the seethrough
reservoir. The level should be between the ”MAX” and
”MIN” lines on the tank. It is normal for the brake fluid level to go down slightly as the
brake pads wear or when the fluid level in the accumulator is
high.
If the level is low, take your vehicle to a Lexus dealer as
soon as possible. Do not drive your vehicle if the brake
system warning light (red) is on. Call a Lexus dealer for
assistance.
If the fluid level goes down soon after your vehicle is
serviced, it may indicate a serious mechanical problem.
Have your vehicle checked by your Lexus dealer.
CAUTION
Brake
fluid can harm your hands or eyes. If fluid gets on
your hands or in your eyes, flush the affected area with
clean water immediately. If you still feel uncomfortable
with your hands or eyes, go to the doctor.
NOTICE
If brake fluid is spilled on the vehicle, be sure to wipe it
off to prevent damage to parts or paint.

RUNFLAT TIRES
This vehicle can be equipped with either runflat
tires (RFT) or standard tires. You may continue
driving on the vehicle with runflat tires even if any
tire goes flat. It may be able to run for a maximum
of 160 km (100 miles) at a speed below 90 km/h (55
mph) after the tire pressure warning light comes on.
When you drive your vehicle after the tire pressure
warning light comes on, the tire must be replaced.
Do not use the repaired tire.
G63004
A “RFT” or “DSST” mark is molded on the sidewall of the
run−flat tire.
If you cannot distinguish between the standard tire and
run−flat tire, consult Lexus dealer.
If you have a flat tire, you have to take a different action
depending on whether the tires are standard tires or
run−flat tires.
Runflat tires characteristics:
The vehicle with run −flat tires helps you to continue
driving for up to 160 km (100 miles) at the moderate
speed and do not ever exceed 90 km/h (55 mph) even
with a flat tire. After such usage, the tire must be
replaced. If you are not sure, consult your Lexus dealer.
If you have a flat tire, decrease the speed and drive at
lower speed to reduce the extent to which the tire is
damaged.
However, in some conditions (such as at high
temperatures), you could not continue driving for up to
160 km (100 miles).
The use of non−genuine wheels may prohibit optimum
performance.
The run −flat tires equipped on this vehicle are ones
dedicated for GS430/300. Do not use them on another
model.
Do not mix run− flat tires with standard tires.
The tire warranty book covers the detailed information
on run− flat tires. For details, see the tire warranty book.
Tire pressure warning system
The tire pressure warning system is equipped to warn
you of the low tire inflation pressure. For details, see
“Tire pressure warning system” on page 440.

REPLACING WHEELS
When replacing the tiers and wheels, be sure to install tire
pressure warning valves and transmitters. ID codes on the tire
pressure warning valves and transmitters are registered on the
tire pressure warning ECU. When replacing a tire pressure
warning valve and transmitter, it is necessar y to register the ID
code of tire pressure warning valve and transmitter. Have the
ID code registered by your Lexus dealer.
If the ID code is not registered, the system will not work
properly. After about 1 hour, the tire pressure warning light
blinks to indicate a system malfunction.
NOTICE
When the tires or tire pressure warning valves and
transmitters must be replaced, have them replaced by
your Lexus dealer. The tire pressure warning valves
and transmitters will be affected by the installation or
removal of tires.
When to replace your wheels
If you have wheel damage such as bending, cracks or
heavy corrosion, the wheel should be replaced.
If you fail to replace a damaged wheel, the tire may slip off the
wheel or cause loss of handling control.
Replacement with used wheels is not recommended as they
may have been subjected to rough treatment or high mileage
and could fail without warning. Also, bent wheels which have
been straightened may have hidden structural damage and
therefore should not be used. Never use an inner tube in a
leaking wheel which is designed for a tubeless tire.
