CHECKING TIRE PRESSURE
63G005
The recommended cold tire pressure, tire size and the
vehicle capacity weight are given on the label.
You should check the tire pressure every two weeks, or at least
once a month. And don’t forget the spare! The pressure for
the spare tire should be the same with that for the standard tire.
(See page 272 or 276.)
Incorrect tire pressure may waste fuel, reduce the comfort of
driving, reduce tire life and make your vehicle less safe to drive.
If a tire needs frequent refilling, have it checked by your Lexus
dealer.
CAUTION
Keep your tire pressure properly inflated. Otherwise,
the following conditions may occur and cause an
accident resulting in death or serious injuries.
Low tire pressure (underinflation):
D Excessive wear
D Uneven wear
D Poor handling
D Possibility of blowouts from overheated tire.
D Poor sealing of the tire bead
D Wheel deformation and/or tire separation
High tire pressure (overinflation):
D Poor handling
D Excessive wear at the center of the tire tread
D A greater possibility of tire damage from road
hazards
