■ When using the compact spare tire
● Remember that the spare tire pro-
vided is specifically designed for use
with your vehicle. Do not use your
spare tire on another vehicle.
● Do not use more than one spare tire
simultaneously.
● Replace the spare tire with a standard
tire as soon as possible.
● Avoid sudden acceleration, abrupt
steering, sudden braking and shifting
operations that cause sudden engine
braking.
■ When the compact spare tire is
attached
The vehicle speed may not be correctly
detected, and the following systems may
not operate correctly:
• ABS & Brake assist
•VSC
•TRAC
• Dynamic radar cruise control with full-
speed range
• PCS (Pre-Collision System)
•EPS
• LTA (Lane Tracing Assist)
• Lexus parking assist monitor
• Intuitive parking assist (if equipped)
• Navigation system (if equipped)
• BSM (Blind Spot Monitor) (if
equipped)
•Automatic High Beam
■ Speed limit when using the compact
spare tire
Do not drive at speeds in excess of 50
mph (80 km/h) when a compact spare
tire is installed on the vehicle.
The compact spare tire is not designed
for driving at high speeds. Failure to
observe this precaution may lead to an
accident causing 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.
■ Be careful when driving over bumps
with the compact spare tire installed
on the vehicle
The vehicle becomes lower when driving
with the compact spare tire compared to
when driving with standard tires. Be
careful when driving over uneven road
surfaces.
■ Driving with tire chains and the com-
pact spare tire
Do not fit tire chains to the compact
spare tire.
Tire chains may damage the vehicle
body and adversely affect driving perfor-
mance.
■ 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.
