tire temporarily, and only in an emer-
gency.
●Make sure to check the tire inflation pres-
sure of the compact spare tire. ( P.448)
■When using the compact spare tire
As the compact spare tire is not equipped
with a tire pressure warning valve and trans-

warning system. Also, if you replace the
compact spare tire after the tire pressure
warning light comes on, the light remains
on.
■When the compact spare tire is
equipped

installed, the vehicle he ight will be different
than when driving with standard tires.

ered with snow or ice

rear wheels of the vehicle. Perform the fol-
lowing steps and fit tire chains to the front
tires:
1 Replace a rear tire with the compact
spare tire.
2 Replace the flat front tire with the tire
removed from the rear of the vehicle.
3 Fit tire chains to the front tires.

■Speed limit when using the compact
spare tire
Do not drive at speeds in excess of 50
mph (80 km/h) when a compact spare

The compact spare tire is not designed
for driving at high speeds. Failure to
observe this precaution may lead to an

■After using the tools and jack
Before driving, make sure all the tools
and jack are securely in place in their
storage location to reduce the possibility
of personal injury during a collision or
sudden braking.
NOTICE

with the compact spar e tire compared to
when driving with standard tires. Be
careful when driving over uneven road

spare tire. Tire chains may damage the
vehicle body and adversely affect driving
performance.
■When replacing the tires
When removing or fitting the wheels,
tires or the tire pr essure warning valve
and transmitter, contact your Lexus
dealer as the tire pressure warning valve
and transmitter may be damaged if not
handled correctly.
■When stowing the flat tire (RX350L)
●Ensure that there is no object caught
between the tire and the vehicle
underbody.
●Securely tighten the spare tire clamp
bolt to hold the spare wheel carrier by
