Precautions for when you have a flat tire (vehicles with run-flat tires)
Your vehicle is not equipped with a spare tire, but instead you can continue driving
the vehicle with run-flat tires even if any tire goes flat. In this case, slow down and
drive with extra caution.
Take your vehicle to the nearest authorized Lexus retailer or Lexus authorized
repairer, or any reliable repairer, or authorized tire dealer as soon as possible if any
tire goes flat.
The vehicle can be driven for a maximum of 80 km (50 miles) at a speed below
80 km/h (50 mph) after the tire pressure warning light comes on.
A run-flat tire has a
mark on the side wall.
INFORMATION
■ In some conditions (such as at high temperatures)
You cannot continue driving for up to 80 km (50 miles).
NOTICE
■ When replacing the tires
When removing or fitting the wheels, tires or the tire pressure warning valve and
transmitter, contact any authorized Lexus retailer or Lexus authorized repairer, or any
reliable repairer as the tire pressure warning valve and transmitter may be damaged if not
handled correctly.
■ When driving over bumps
If a vehicle has a flat tire, the vehicle height will be lower than usual. Ensure that nothing
strikes the bottom of the vehicle.
■ To avoid damage to the tire pressure warning valves and transmitters
When a tire is repaired with liquid sealants, the tire pressure warning valve and transmit-
ter may not operate properly. If a liquid sealant is used, contact any authorized Lexus
retailer or Lexus authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer or other qualified service
shop as soon as possible. Make sure to replace the tire pressure warning valve and
transmitter when replacing the tire.
