CAUTION
■Replacing a flat tire
●Do not touch the disc wheels or the area around the brakes immediately after the
vehicle has been driven.
After the vehicle has been driven the disc wheels and the area around the brakes
will be extremely hot. Touching these areas with hands, feet or other body parts
while changing a tire, etc. may result in burns.
●Failure to follow these precautions could cause the wheel nuts to loosen and the
tire to fall off, resulting in death or serious injury.
• Lower the spare tire completely to the ground before removing it from underthe vehicle.
• Do not try to remove the wheel ornament by hand. Take due care in handling the ornament to avoid unexpected personal injury.
• Have the wheel nuts tightened with a to rque wrench to 83 ft•lbf (112 N•m,
11.4 kgf•m) as soon as possible after changing wheels.
• Do not attach a heavily damaged wheel ornament, as it may fly off the wheel
while the vehicle is moving.
• When installing a tire, only use whee l nuts that have been specifically
designed for that wheel.
• If there are any cracks or deformations in the bolt screws, nut threads or bolt holes of the wheel, have the vehicle inspected by your Lexus dealer.
• When installing the wheel nuts, be sure to install them with the tapered ends
facing inward. ( P. 6 4 8 )
■After using the tools and jack
Before driving, make sure all the tools and jack are securely in place in their storage
location to reduce the possibility of personal injury during a collision or sudden
braking.

NOTICE
■Do not drive the vehicle with a flat tire
Do not continue driving with a flat tire.
Driving even a short distance with a flat tire can damage the tire and the wheel
beyond repair.
■When stowing the flat tire
●Ensure that there is no object caught between the tire and the vehicle underbody.
●To avoid damaging the suspension system, make sure that the spare tire does not
interfere with the suspension components when stowed.
■When replacing the tires
When removing or fitting the wheels, tire s or the tire pressure warning valve and
transmitter, contact your Lexus dealer as the tire pressure warning valve and trans-
mitter may be damaged if not handled correctly.
