n Engine oil consumption
l The amount of engine oil consumed depends on the oil viscosity, the quality of
the oil and the way the vehicle is driven.
l More oil is consumed under driving conditions such as high speeds and fre-
quent acceleration and deceleration.
l A new engine consumes more oil.
l When judging the amount of oil consumption, keep in mind that the oil may
have become diluted, making it difficult to judge the true level accurately.
l Oil consumption: Max. 1.1 qt./600 miles (1.0 L/1000 km, 0.9 lmp.qt./600
miles)
l If your vehicle consumes more than 1.1 qt. (1.0 L, 0.9 lmp.qt.) every 600 miles
(1000 km), contact your Lexus dealer.
n After changing the engine oil (U.S.A. only)
The engine oil maintenance data should be reset. Perform the following procedures:

Registering ID codes
The tire pressure warning valve and transmitter is equipped with a unique
ID code. When replacing a tire pressure warning valve and transmitter, it
is necessary to register the ID code. Have the ID code registered by your
Lexus dealer.
n When to replace your vehicle’s tires
Tires should be replaced if:
l You have tire damage such as cuts, splits, cracks deep enough to expose the
fabric, and bulges indicating internal damage.
l A tire goes flat repeatedly or cannot be properly repaired due to the size or
location of a cut or other damage.
If you are not sure, consult with your Lexus dealer.
n Replacing tires and wheels
If the ID code of the tire pressure warning valve and transmitter is not registered,
the tire pressure warning system will not work properly. After driving for about 20
minutes, the tire pressure warning light flashes for 1 minute and stays on to indicate a
system malfunction.
n Tire lif e
Any tire over 6 years old must be checked by a qualified technician even if it has seldom or never been used or damage is not obvious.

n Routine tire inflation pressure checks
The tire pressure warning system does not replace routine tire inflation pressure
checks. Make sure to check tire inflation pressure as part of your routine of daily
vehicle checks.
n Low profile tires (vehicles with 17 inch tires)
Generally, low profile tires will wear more rapidly and tire grip performance will be
reduced on snowy and/or icy roads when compared to standard tires. Be sure to
use snow tires or tire chains on snowy and/or icy roads and drive carefully at a
speed appropriate for road and weather conditions.
n Maximum load of tire
Check that the maximum load of the replacement tire is greater than 1/2 of the
Gross Axle Weight Ratings (GAWR) of either the front axle or the rear axle, whichever is greater.
For the GAWR, see the Certification Label.
For the maximum load of the tire, see the load
limit at maximum cold tire inflation pressure
mentioned on the sidewall of the tire.

n Tire typ es
l Summer tires
Summer tires are high-speed performance tires best suited to highway driving
under dry conditions. Since summer tires do not have the same traction performance as snow tires, summer tires are inadequate for driving on snow-covered
or icy roads. For driving on snow-covered roads or icy roads, the use of snow tires
is recommended. When installing snow tires, be sure to replace all four tires.
l All season tires
All season tires are designed to provide better traction in snow and to be adequate for driving in most winter conditions as well as for use year-round. All season tires, however, do not have adequate traction performance compared with
snow tires in heavy or loose snow. Also, all season tires fall short in acceleration
and handling performance compared with summer tires in highway driving.
l Snow tires
For driving on snow-covered roads or icy roads, we recommend using snow tires.
If you need snow tires, select tires of the same size, construction and load capacity as the originally installed tires. Since your vehicle has radial tires as original
equipment, make sure your snow tires also have radial construction. Do not install
studded tires without first checking local regulations for possible restrictions.
Snow tires should be installed on all wheels. (→P. 2 70 )

n If you press the tire pressure warning reset button accidentally
If initialization is performed, adjust the tire inflation pressure to the specified level
and initialize the tire pressure warning system again.
n When initialization of the tire pressure warning system has failed
Initialization can be completed in a few minutes. However, in the following cases,
the settings have not been recorded and the system will not operate properly. If
repeated attempts to record tire inflation pressure settings are unsuccessful, have
the vehicle inspected by your Lexus dealer.
l When operating the tire pressure warning reset button, the tire pressure warn-
ing light does not flash 3 times.
l After carrying out the initialization procedure, the tire pressure warning light
flashes for 1 minute then stays on after driving for 20 minutes.

n When inspecting or replacing tires
Observe the following precautions to prevent accidents.
Failure to do so may cause damage to parts of the drive train as well as dangerous
handling characteristics, which may lead to an accident resulting in death or serious
injury.
l Do not mix tires of different makes, models or tread patterns.
Also, do not mix tires of remarkably different treadwear.
l Do not use tire sizes other than those recommended by Lexus.
l Do not mix differently constructed tires (radial, bias-belted or bias-ply tires).
l Do not mix summer, all season and snow tires.
l Do not use tires that have been used on another vehicle.
Do not use tires if you do not know how they were used previously.
n When initializing the tire pressure warning system
Do not operate the tire pressure warning reset button without first adjusting the tire
inflation pressure to the specified level. Otherwise, the tire pressure warning light
may not come on even if the tire inflation pressure is low, or it may come on when
the tire inflation pressure is actually normal.

n Repairing or replacing tires, wheels, tire pressure warning valves, transmitters
and tire valve caps
l When removing or fitting the wheels, tires or the tire pressure warning valves and
transmitters, contact your Lexus dealer as the tire pressure warning valves and
transmitters may be damaged if not handled correctly.
l When replacing tire valve caps, do not use tire valve caps other than those speci-
fied. The cap may become stuck.
n 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
transmitter may not operate properly. If a liquid sealant is used, contact your Lexus
dealer or other qualified service shop as soon as possible. Make sure to replace the
tire pressure warning valve and transmitter when replacing the tire. (
n Driving on rough roads
→P. 5 20 )
Take particular care when driving on roads with loose surfaces or potholes.
These conditions may cause losses in tire inflation pressure, reducing the cushioning ability of the tires. In addition, driving on rough roads may cause damage to the
tires themselves, as well as the vehicle’s wheels and body.

CT200h_U (OM76004U)
4-3. Do-it-yourself maintenance
NOTICE
n Low profile tires (vehicles with 17 inch tires)
Low profile tires may cause greater damage than usual to the tire wheel when sustaining impact from the road surface. Therefore, pay attention to the following:
l Be sure to use proper tire inflation pressure. If tires are under-inflated, they may
be damaged more severely.
l Avoid potholes, uneven pavement, curbs and other road hazards. Failure to do so
may lead to severe tire and wheel damage.
n If tire inflation pressure of each tire becomes low while driving
Do not continue driving, or your tires and/or wheels may be ruined.

n Tire inflation pressure check interval
You should check tire inflation pressure every two weeks, or at least once a month.
Do not forget to check the spare.
n Effects of incorrect tire inflation pressure
Driving with incorrect tire inflation pressure may result in the following:
l Reduced fuel efficiency
l Reduced driving comfort and tire life
l Reduced safety
l Damage to the drive train
If a tire needs frequent inflating, have it checked by your Lexus dealer.
n Instructions for checking tire inflation pressure
When checking tire inflation pressure, observe the following:
l Check only when the tires are cold.
If your vehicle has been parked for at least 3 hours or has not been driven for
more than 1 mile or 1.5 km, you will get an accurate cold tire inflation pressure
reading.
l Always use a tire pressure gauge.
The appearance of the tire can be misleading. In addition, tire inflation pressure
that is even just a few pounds off can affect ride quality and handling.
l Do not reduce tire inflation pressure after driving. It is normal for tire inflation
pressure to be higher after driving.
l Never exceed the vehicle capacity weight.
Passengers and luggage weight should be placed so that the vehicle is balanced.

CAUTION
n Proper inflation is critical to save tire performance
Keep your tires properly inflated. Otherwise, the following conditions may occur
and result in an accident causing death or serious injury:
l Excessive wear
l Uneven wear
l Poor handling
l Possibility of blowouts resulting from overheated tires
l Poor sealing of the tire bead
l Wheel deformation and/or tire separation
l A greater possibility of tire damage from road hazards
NOTICE
n When inspecting and adjusting tire inflation pressure
Be sure to put the tire valve caps back on.
Without the valve caps, dirt or moisture could get into the valve and cause air leakage, which could result in an accident. If the caps are lost, replace them as soon as
possible.

Wheels
If a wheel is bent, cracked or heavily corroded, it should be replaced. Otherwise, the tire may separate from the wheel or cause a loss of handling
control.
n Wheel selection
When replacing wheels, care should be taken to ensure that they
are equivalent to those removed in load capacity, diameter, rim
width and inset*.
Replacement wheels are available at your Lexus dealer.
*: Conventionally referred to as “offset”.
Lexus does not recommend using the following:
l Wheels of different sizes or types
l Used wheels
l Bent wheels that have been straightened
n Aluminum wheel precautions
l Use only Lexus wheel nuts and wrenches designed for use with
your aluminum wheels.
l When rotating, repairing or changing your tires, check that the
wheel nuts are still tight after driving 1000 miles (1600 km).
l Be careful not to damage the aluminum wheels when using tire
chains.
l Use only Lexus genuine balance weights or equivalent and a
plastic or rubber hammer when balancing your wheels.
534
CT200h_U (OM76004U)
4-3. Do-it-yourself maintenance
n When replacing wheels
The wheels of your vehicle are equipped with tire pressure warning valves and
transmitters that allow the tire pressure warning system to provide advance warning
in the event of a loss in tire inflation pressure. Whenever wheels are replaced, tire
pressure warning valves and transmitters must be installed. (→P. 5 20 )
CAUTION
n When replacing wheels
l Do not use wheels that are a different size from those recommended in the
Owner’s Manual, as this may result in a loss of handling control.
l Never use an inner tube in a leaking wheel which is designed for a tubeless tire.
Doing so may result in an accident, causing death or serious injury.
n When installing the wheel nuts
Tapered
portion
l Be sure to install the wheel nuts with the
tapered end facing inward. Installing the
nuts with the tapered end facing outward
can cause wheel to break and eventually
cause a wheel to come off while driving,
which could lead to an accident resulting in
death or serious injury.
l Never use oil or grease on the wheel bolts or wheel nuts.
Oil and grease may cause the wheel nuts to be excessively tightened, leading to
bolt or disc wheel damage. In addition, the oil or grease can cause the wheel nuts
to loosen and the wheel may fall off, causing an accident and resulting in death or
serious injury. Remove any oil or grease from the wheel bolts or wheel nuts.
