Be sure to observe the following precautions. Failure to do so could cause a loss of vehi-
cle control and result in death or serious injury.
●Decelerate to the lowest appr opriate speed as soon as possible. Do not drive over 50
mph (80 km/h).
●Check and adjust the tire in flation pressure immediately.
●If the tire pressure warning lig ht comes on even after tire inflation pressure adjustment,
it is probable that you have a flat tire. Have the flat tire replaced by the nearest Lexus
dealer.
●Avoid abrupt maneuvering and braking. If th e vehicle tires deteriorate, you could lose
control of the steering wheel or the brakes.
■If a blowout or sudden air leakage should occur
