2424-6. Driving tips
Use fluids that are appropriate to
the prevailing outside temperatures.
•Engine oil
• Engine coolant
• Power control unit coolant (LC500h)
•Washer fluid
Have a service technician inspect
the condition of the 12-volt battery.
Have the vehicle fitted with four
snow tires.
Ensure that all tires are the specified size
and the same brand.
Perform the following according to the
driving conditions:
Do not try to forcibly open a window
or move a wiper that is frozen. Pour
warm water over the frozen area to
melt the ice. Wipe away the water
immediately to prevent it from
freezing.
When the outside door handle is
frozen, unlock the doors using the
wireless remote control. If the out-
side door handles remain retracted
and do not move even if the doors
are unlocked using the wireless
remote control, pour warm water
over the frozen area to melt the ice
and wipe away the water immedi-
ately to prevent it from freezing. The
outside door handle may not retract
due to ice, however, the outside
door handle will return to the nor-
mal position after the ice melts.
To ensure proper operation of the
climate control system fan, remove
Winter driving tips
Carry out the necessary prepara-
tions and inspections before driving
the vehicle in winter. Always drive
the vehicle in a manner appropriate
to the prevailing weather condi-
tions.
Preparation for winter
WARNING
■Driving with snow tires
Observe the following precautions to
reduce the risk of accidents.
Failure to do so may result in a loss of
vehicle control and cause death or seri-
ous injury.
●Use tires of the specified size.
●Maintain the recommended level of air
pressure.
●Do not drive in excess of 75 mph (120
km/h), regardless of the type of snow
tires being used.
●Use snow tires on all, not just some
wheels.
NOTICE
■Driving with tire chains
Do not fit tire chains. Tire chains may
damage the vehicle body and suspen-
sion, and adversely affect driving perfor-
mance.
■Repairing or replacing snow tires
Request repairs or replacement of snow
tires from Lexus dealers or legitimate tire
retailers.
This is because the removal and attach-
ment of snow tires affects the operation
of the tire pressure warning valves and
transmitters.

partment
●LC500h: Make sure that the “IGNI-
TION ON” on the multi-information
display and the “READY” indicator are
both off.
●Keep hands, clothi ng and tools away
from the moving fan and engine drive
belt.
ItemsParts and tools●LC500: Be careful not to touch the
engine, radiator, exhaust manifold, etc.
right after driving as they may be hot.
Oil and other fluids may also be hot.
LC500h: Be careful not to touch the

WARNING
■When installing the tire
Failure to follow these precautions could
cause the wheel nuts to loosen and the
tire to fall off, resulting in death or serious
injury.
●Never use oil or grease on the wheel
bolts or wheel nuts.
Oil and grease may cause the wheel
nuts to be excessively tightened, lead-
ing to bolt or disc wheel damage. In
addition, the oil or grease can cause
the wheel nuts to loosen and the wheel
may fall off, causing a serious accident.
Remove any oil or grease from the
wheel bolts or wheel nuts.
●Have the wheel nuts tightened with a
torque wrench to 103.3 ft•lbf (140
N•m, 14.3 kgf•m) 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 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.
■After using the tools
Before driving, make sure all the tools are
stored securely in place. Failure to do so
may cause injury in case of a collision or
sudden braking.
