Maintenance and care
LX570_OM_OM60L96U_(U) CAUTIONThe engine compartment contains many mechanisms and fluids that may move sud-
denly, become hot, or become electrically energized. To avoid death or serious injury
observe the following precautions. ■
When working on the engine compartment ●
Keep hands, clothing and t ools away from the moving fa ns and engine drive belt.●
Be careful not to touch the engine, radiator, exhaust mani fold, etc. right after driv-
ing as they may be hot. Oil and other fluids may also be hot. ●
Do not leave anything that may burn easily, such as paper or rags, in the engine
compartment. ●
Do not smoke, cause sparks or expose an open flame to fuel or the battery. Fuel
and battery fumes are flammable. ●
Be extremely cautious when working on the battery. It contains poisonous and
corrosive sulfuric acid.■
When working near the electric cooling fan or radiator grille
Be sure the “ENGINE START STOP” switch is OFF.
With the “ENGINE START ST OP” switch in IGNITION ON mode, the electric
cooling fan may automatically start to run if the air conditioning is on and/or the
coolant temperature is high. ( P. 758)■
When working on or under the vehicle ●
Do not get under the vehicle with just the jack supporting it.
Always use automotive jack st ands or other solid supports.●
Use eye protection to prevent flying or falling material, fluid spray, etc. from get-
ting in your eyes.

Maintenance and care
LX570_OM_OM60L96U_(U) ■
Tire inflation pressure check interval
You should check tire inflation pressure every two weeks, or at least once a month.
Do not forget to check the spare. ■
Effects of incorrect ti re inflation pressure
Driving with incorrect tire inflation pressure may result in the following:●
Reduced fuel efficiency ●
Reduced driving comfort and tire life ●
Reduced safety ●
Damage to the drive train
If a tire needs frequent inflating, have it checked by your Lexus dealer. ■
Instructions for checking tire inflation pressure
When checking tire inflation pressure, observe the following: ●
Check only when the tires are cold.
If your vehicle has been parked for at least 3 hours or has not been driven for
more than 1 mile or 1.5 km, you will get an accurate cold tire inflation pressure
reading. ●
Always use a tire pressure gauge.
The appearance of the tire can be misleading. In addition, tire inflation pressure
that is even just a few pounds off can affect ride quality and handling.●
Do not reduce tire inflation pressure afte r driving. It is normal for tire inflation
pressure to be higher after driving. ●
Never exceed the vehicle capacity weight.
Passengers and luggage weight should be placed so that the vehicle is bal-
anced.
