When trouble arises
WARNING
● Never apply oil or grease to the wheel
bolts or their contact surface on the
wheel .
Doing so may cause the wheel bolts to
be tightened excessively, leading to
damage to the wheel bolts, the
threaded portion the wheel bolts install
to , or the wheel.
Also, the wheel bolts may come loose,
possibly leading to the wheel coming
off, causing a serious accident.
If oil or grease is attached to either of
these parts, remove it.
● When installing a wheel, use the same
wheel bolts that were removed with
the wheel. Also, do not use any wheel
bolts other than Lexus Genuine wheel
bolts.
● Do not attach a heavily damaged
wheel ornament, as it may fly off the
wheel while the vehicle is moving.
● If a wheel bolt hole in a wheel or the
threads of a wheel bolt or the wheel
hub are deformed, cracked, rusty or
otherwise damaged, have the vehicle
inspected by your Lexus dealer.
■ When tightening the wheel bolts
Do not tighten the wheel bolts exces-
sively. Doing so may cause the wheel
bolts, the threads of the wheel hub, or the
wheel to be damaged.
