The tire pressure warning system must be
reset. (P.490)
■ Stowing the flat tire
Failure to follow the proper steps listed
under stowing the tire may result in dam-
age to the spare tire carrier and loss of
the tire, which could result in death or
serious injury.
■ 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.
■ When stowing the flat tire
Ensure that there is no object caught
between the tire and the vehicle
underbody.
■ When replacing the tires
When removing or fitting the wheels,
tires or the tire pressure warning valve
and transmitter, contact your Lexus
dealer as the tire pressure warning valve
and transmitter may be damaged if not
handled correctly.
■ To avoid damage to the tire pressure
warning valves and transmitters
When a tire is repaired with liquid seal-
ants, the tire pressure warning valve and
transmitter may not operate properly. If a
liquid sealant is used, contact your Lexus
dealer or other qualified service shop as
soon as possible. Make sure to replace
the tire pressure warning valve and
transmitter when replacing the tire.
