necessary. It has tread life of up to 4800 km (3000 miles)
depending on road conditions and your driving habits.
When tread wear indicators appear on the tire, replace
the tire. (See “Checking and replacing tires on page
343.)
CAUTION
The compact spare tire was designed especially
for your Lexus. Do not use it on any other
vehicle.
Do not use more than one compact spare tire at
the same time.
The pressure for the compact spare tire must be
420 kPa (4.3 kgf/cm
2
, 4.2 bar, 60 psi).
Do not exceed 80 km/h (50 mph) when driving
with the compact spare tire.
The standard tire should be repaired and
reinstalled as soon as possible.
Avoid sudden acceleration, sudden
deceleration and sharp turns with the compact
spare tire.
NOTICE
Your ground clearance is reduced when the
compact spare tire is installed so avoid driving
over obstacles and drive slowly on rough,
unpaved roads and speed bumps. Also, do not
attempt to go through an automatic car wash as
the vehicle may get caught, resulting in damage.
INFORMATION
As the spare tire is not equipped with the tire
pressure sensor, low inflation pressure of the
spare tire will not be warned.
