WARNING
or grease can cause the wheel bolts to loosen and the wheel may fall off, causing a
serious accident. Remove any oil or grease from the wheel bolts.
● If there are any cracks or deformations in the wheel bolts, or if the surface treatment
becomes worn, have the wheel bolts replaced at your Lexus dealer. Failure to follow
these precautions could cause the wheel bolts to loosen and the tire to fall off, resulting
in 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 accident.
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.
Aluminum wheel precautions
Observe the following precautions when handling the aluminum wheels.

still tight after driving 621 miles (1000 km).

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