When driving
HS250h_U_75033U(Canada)
LKA (Lane-Keeping Assist)∗∗
: If equipped
While driving on a freeway or motor highway that has lane markers, this
system recognizes the lanes using a camera as a sensor to assist the driver
with staying in the lane. The LKA system has two functions.
■Lane departure warning function
If the system judges that the vehicle may deviate from its lane, it
alerts the driver using rapid beeping, indications on the multi-infor-
mation display, and a sensory warning
* given via the steering wheel.
*: A slight steering torque is applied for a short period of time in the
direction of the center of the lane.
■ Lane keeping assist function
This function will be active when the vehicle-to-vehicle distance
control mode of the cruise control ( →P. 205) is set with vehicle
speed above approx. 45 mph (approx. 72 km/h) and while the lane
departure warning function is active. When the lane keeping assist
function is active, a slight steering torque will be applied, to help the
driver maintain the vehicle inside the lane.

5-2. Steps to take in an emergency
HS250h_U_75033U(Canada)Firmly tighten each wheel nut two
or three times in the order shown
in the illustration.
Tightening torque:
76 ft•lbf (103 N•m, 10.5 kgf•m)
Stow the flat tire, tire jack and all tools.
■The compact spare tire
●The 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.
●Make sure to check the tire inflation pressure of the compact spare tire.
(
→ P. 5 5 7 )
■After completing the tire change
The tire pressure warning system must be reset. ( →P. 4 3 9 )
■When 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.
■If you have a flat front tire on a road covered with snow or ice
Install the compact spare tire on one of the rear wheels of the vehicle. Perform the
following steps and fit tire chains to the front tires:
Replace a rear tire with the compact spare tire.
Replace the flat front tire with the tire removed from the rear of the vehi-
cle.
Fit tire chains to the front tires.

CAUTION
●Have the wheel nuts tightened with a torque wrench to 76 ft•lbf (103 N•m, 10.5
kgf•m) as soon as possible after changing wheels.
Failure to follow these precautions could cause the wheel nuts to loosen and the
tire to fall off, resulting in death or serious injury.
●When installing a tire, only use wheel 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.
Failure to follow these precautions could cause the wheel nuts to loosen and the tire
to fall off, resulting in death or serious injury.
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.
■Be careful when driving over bumps with the compact spare tire installed on the
vehicle.
The vehicle becomes lower when driving with the compact spare tire compared to
when driving with standard tires. Be careful when driving over uneven road sur-
faces.
■Driving with tire chains and the compact spare tire
Do not fit tire chains to the compact spare tire.
Tire chains may damage the vehicle body and adversely affect driving performance.
■When replacing the tires
When removing or fitting the wheels, tires 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.
■To avoid damage to the tire pressure warning valves and transmitters
Do not use liquid sealants on flat tires.
