6-3. Do-it-yourself maintenance

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
straightened

■

When replacing wheels

The wheels of your vehicle are equipped

with tire pressure warning 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, tire pres-

sure warning valves and transmitters must

be installed. (



P.327)



Use only Lexus wheel nuts and
wrenches designed for use with
your aluminum wheels.



When rotating, repairing or chang-
ing your tires, check that the wheel
nuts are still tight after driving 1000
miles (1600 km).



Be careful not to damage the alumi-
num wheels when using tire chains.



Use only Lexus genuine balance
weights or equivalent and a plastic
or rubber hammer when balancing
your wheels.

Wheels

If a wheel is bent, cracked or heav-
ily corroded, it should be replaced.
Otherwise, the tire may separate
from the wheel or cause a loss of
handling control.

Wheel selection

WARNING

■

When replacing wheels

●

Do not use wheels that are a different

size from those recommended in the

loss of handling control.

●

Never use an inner tube in a leaking

wheel which is designed for a tubeless

tire. Doing so may result in an acci-

dent, causing death or serious injury.

■

Use of defective wheels prohibited

Do not use cracked or deformed wheels.

Doing so could cause the tire to leak air

during driving, possibly causing an acci-

dent.

NOTICE

■

Replacing tire pressure warning

valves and transmitters

●

Because tire repair or replacement

may affect the tire pressure warning

valves and transmitters, make sure to

have tires serviced by your Lexus

dealer or other qualified service shop.

In addition, make sure to purchase

your tire pressure warning valves and

transmitters at your Lexus dealer.

●

Ensure that only genuine Lexus wheels

are used on your vehicle.

Tire pressure warning valves and

transmitters may not work properly

with non-genuine wheels.

7-2.Steps to take in an emergency

The following may indicate a problem
with your transmission. Contact your
Lexus dealer or commercial towing
service before towing.



The engine is running but the vehi-
cle does not move.



The vehicle makes an abnormal
sound.

If your vehicle needs to be
towed

If towing is necessary, we recom-
mend having your vehicle towed by
your Lexus dealer or commercial
towing service, using a wheel-lift
type truck or flatbed truck.
Use a safety chain system for all
towing, and abide by all state/pro-
vincial and local laws.

WARNING

Observe the following precautions.

Failure to do so may result in death or

serious injury.

■

When towing the vehicle

Be sure to transport the vehicle with the

front wheels raised or with all four wheels

raised off the ground. If the vehicle is

towed with the front wheels contacting

the ground, the drivetrain and related

parts may be damaged.

■

While towing

●

When towing using cables or chains,

avoid sudden starts, etc. which place

excessive stress on the towing eyelets,

cables or chains. The towing eyelets,

cables or chains may become dam-

aged, broken debris may hit people,

and cause serious damage.

●

Do not turn the engine switch off.

There is a possibility that the steering

wheel is locked and cannot be oper-

ated.

■

Installing towing eyelets to the vehi-

cle

Make sure that towing eyelets are

installed securely.

If not securely installed, towing eyelets

may come loose during towing.

NOTICE

■

To prevent damage to the vehicle

when towing using a wheel-lift type

truck

●

Do not tow the vehicle from the rear

when the engine switch is OFF.

The steering lock mechanism is not

strong enough to hold the front wheels

straight.

●

When raising the vehicle, ensure ade-

quate ground clearance for towing at

the opposite end of the raised vehicle.

Without adequate clearance, the vehi-

cle could be damaged while being

towed.

■

To prevent damage to the vehicle

when towing with a sling-type truck

Do not tow with a sling-type truck, either

from the front or rear.

■

To prevent damage to the vehicle

during emergency towing

Do not secure cables or chains to the

suspension components.

7-2. Steps to take in an emergency



From the front

Release the parking brake.
Turn automatic mode off. (

P.158)



From the rear

Use a towing dolly under the front
wheels.

If your vehicle is transported by a flat-
bed truck, it should be tied down at the
locations shown in the illustration.

If you use chains or cables to tie down
your vehicle, the angles shaded in
black must be 45°.
Do not overly tighten the tie downs or
the vehicle may be damaged.

If a tow truck is not available in an
emergency, your vehicle may be tem-
porarily towed using cables or chains
secured to the emergency towing eye-
lets. This should only be attempted on
hard surfaced roads for at most 50
miles (80 km) at under 18 mph (30
km/h).
