Selecting tire chains
Tire chains can be mounted on 16- and 17-inch tires. They cannot
be mounted on 18-inch tires. Use the correct tire chain size when
mounting the tire chains.
Chain size is regulated for each tire size.
Side chain
(3 mm [0.12 in.] in diameter)
Cross chain
(4 mm [0.16 in.] in diameter)
Regulations on the use of tire chains
Regulations regarding the use of tire chains vary according to
location and type of road. Always check local regulations before
installing chains.
Install the chains on the rear tires.
When driving the vehicle
Accelerate the vehicle slowly and drive at a reduced speed
suitable to road conditions.
When parking the vehicle
Park the vehicle and move the shift lever to P (automatic
transmission) or 1 or R (manual transmission) without setting
the parking brake. The parking brake may freeze up, prevent-
ing it from being released. If necessary, block the wheels to
prevent inadvertent sliding or creeping.

Wheels
If a wheel is bent, cracked or heavily corroded, it should be replaced.
Otherwise, the tire may separate from the wheel or cause loss of han-
dling control.
Wheel selection
When replacing wheels, care should be taken to ensure that
they are equivalent to those removed in load capacity, diame-
ter, rim width, and inset
*.
Replacement wheels are available at any authorized Lexus
dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped pro-
fessional.
*: Conventionally referred to as “offset”.
Lexus does not recommend using:

with your aluminum wheels.
When rotating, repairing or changing your tires, check that
the wheel nuts are still tight after driving 1600 km (1000

puncture repair kit. Contact any authorized Lexus dealer, tire dealer or

When the tire is damaged due to driving without sufficient air pressure
When the tire lost air pressure due to a crack or damage in the tire side-

When the wheel is damaged
When two or more tires have been punctured
When there is more than one hole or cut in the damaged tire
Emergency tire puncture repair kit
The sealant has a limited lifespan. The expiry date is marked on the bot-
tle. The sealant should be replaced before the expiry date. Contact any
authorized Lexus dealer, tire dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified
and equipped professional for replacement.
The sealant stored in the emergency tire puncture repair kit can be used
only once to temporarily repair a single tire. If the sealant in the bottle
and other parts of the kit have been used and need to be replaced, contact
any authorized Lexus dealer, tire dealer or repairer, or another duly qual-
ified and equipped professional.
The sealant can be used when the outside temperature is from -30C (-
22F) to 60C (140F).
The kit is exclusively designed for size and type of tires originally
installed on your vehicle. Do not use it for tires that are a different size
than the original ones, or for any other purpose.
If the sealant gets on your clothes, it may stain.
If the sealant adheres to a wheel or the surface of the vehicle body, the
stain may not be removable if it is not cleaned at once. Immediately wipe
away the sealant with a wet cloth.
During operation of the kit, a loud operation noise is produced. This does
not indicate a malfunction.
