Carry out the necessary preparations and inspections before driving the vehicle in winter. Always drive the vehicle in a manner appropriate to the prevailing weather conditions.
Pre-winter preparations
Ensure that all tires are of the specified size and the same brand, and that chains match the size of the tires.
Before driving the vehicle
Perform the following according to the driving conditions:
When driving the vehicle
Accelerate the vehicle slowly, keep a safe distance between you and the vehicle ahead, and drive at a reduced speed suitable to road conditions.
When parking the vehicle
Failure to do so may be dangerous because it may cause the vehicle to move unexpectedly, possibly leading to an accident.
When the parking brake is in automatic mode, release the parking brake after shifting the shift lever to P.
*: The shift lever will be locked if it is attempted to be shifted from P to any other position without depressing the brake pedal. If the shift lever can be shifted from P, there may be a problem with the shift lock system. Have the vehicle inspected by your Lexus dealer immediately.
Selecting tire chains
Use the correct tire chain size when mounting the tire chains. Chain size is regulated for each tire size.
Side chain:
Cross chain:
Regulations on the use of tire chains
Regulations regarding the use of tire chains vary depending on location and type of road. Always check local regulations before installing chains.
Windshield wipers
To enable the windshield wipers to be lifted when heavy snow or icy conditions are expected, change the rest position of the windshield wipers from the retracted position below the hood to the service position using the wiper lever.
■ Tire chain installation Observe the following precautions when installing and removing chains:
WARNING

Failure to do so may result in a loss of vehicle control and cause death or serious injury.
■ Driving with tire chains Observe the following precautions to reduce the risk of accidents.
Failure to do so may result in the vehicle being unable to be driven safely, and may cause death or serious injury.
NOTICE
