play Indicates that an approaching vehicle is
detected in the adjacent lane. ■
Warning display (vehicles with
Lexus Safety System + A)
When the lane centering function is oper-
ating and the system determines that the
vehicle may depart from its lane due to a
sharp curve, etc., a warning display urging
the driver to operate the steering wheel,
will be displayed.
This display will also be displayed when
operation of the lane change assist func-
tion is canceled.

not be displayed. Some displays, which are the same as
those displayed on the multi-informa-
tion display, will be displayed. ■
LTA system curve display on the
head-up display
The curve display on the head-up display
changes according to the direction and
curvature of the curve.

396 6-3. Do-it-yourself maintenance
LS500_OM_(U)_1810 ing.●
Always use a tire pressure gauge.
It is difficult to judge if a tire is properly
inflated based only on its appearance.●
It is normal for the tire inflation pressure
to be higher after driving as heat is gen-
erated in the tire. Do not reduce tire infla-
tion pressure after driving.●
Never exceed the vehicle capacity
weight.
Passengers and luggage weight should
be placed so that the vehicle is balanced.
When replacing wheels, care should
be taken to ensure that they are equiv-
alent to those removed in load capac-
ity, diameter, rim width and inset *
.
Replacement wheels are available at
your Lexus dealer. *
: Conventionally referred to as offset.
Lexus does not recommend using the
following:
 Wheels of different sizes or types
 Used wheels
 Bent wheels that have been straight-
ened ■
When replacing wheels
The wheels of your vehicle are equipped
with tire pressure wa rning valves and trans-
mitters that allow the tire pressure warning
system to provide advance warning in the
event of a loss in tire inflation pressure.
Whenever wheels are replaced, the tire
pressure warning valves and transmitters
must be installed. (  P.387)WARNING■
Proper inflation is critical to save tire
performance
Keep your tires properly inflated.
If the tires are not properly inflated, the
following conditions may occur which
could lead to an accident resulting in
death or serious injury: ●
Excessive wear●
Uneven wear●
Poor handling●
Possibility of blowouts resulting from
overheated tires
●
Air leaking from between tire and
wheel
●
Wheel deformation and/or tire dam-
age
●
Greater possibility of tire damage
while driving (due to road hazards,
expansion joints, sharp edges in the
road, etc.)
NOTICE
■
When inspecting and adjusting tire
inflation pressure
Be sure to put the tire valve caps back on.
If a valve cap is not installed, dirt or mois-
ture may get into the valve and cause an
air leak, resulting in decreased tire infla-
tion pressure. Wheels If a wheel is bent, cracked or heavily
corroded, it should be replaced.
Otherwise, the tire may separate
from the wheel or cause a loss of
handling control.

WARNING
■
When replacing wheels
●
Do not use wheels that are a different
size from those recommended in the
Owner’s Manual, as this may result in a
loss of handling control.

accordance with regulations issued by

Administration of the U.S. Department
of Transportation.
It provides the purchasers and/or pro-
spective purchasers of Lexus vehicles
with information on uniform tire quality
grading. Your Lexus dealer will help answer any
questions you may have as you read this
information. ■
DOT quality grades
All passenger vehicle tires must con-
form to Federal Safety Requirements in
addition to these grades. Quality
grades can be found where applicable
on the tire sidewall between tread
shoulder and maximum section width. For example: Treadwear 200 Traction AA
Temperature A ■
Treadwear
The treadwear grade is a comparative
rating based on the wear rate of the tire
when tested under controlled condi-
tions on a specified government test
course. For example, a tire graded 150 would wear
one and a half (1 - 1/2) times as well on the
government course as a tire graded 100.
The relative performa nce of tires depends
upon the actual conditions of their use.
Performance may differ significantly from
the norm due to variatio ns in driving habits,
service practices and differences in road
characteristics and climate.Tire section names A
