spillage in case of an accident.

Use only a genuine Lexus fuel tank cap for replacement. It
has a built±in check valve to reduce fuel tank vacuum.

EXTERIOR EQUIPMENT
89
To slide open the moon roof, push the switch toward the
back. The moon roof will fully open. To stop partway,
push the switch briefly in the opposite direction or push
the ºTILTº switch.
The sun shade can be opened or closed manually. However,
if you open the moon roof, the sun shade will be opened with
the moon roof.
To close the moon roof, push the switch toward the front.
The moon roof will move while the switch is being pushed
and stop when released. However, as a precaution, it stops
partway before sliding fully closed, except when already
more than three±quarters closed. Therefore, release the
switch and then push it again to close it completely.

EXTERIOR EQUIPMENT
90
To tilt up the rear end of the moon roof, push the switch
on the rear side or on the front side to lower it.
To operate the moon roof, the ignition key must be in the
ºONº position. However, even if the ignition key is turned to
the ºACCº or ºLOCKº position, the moon roof can be
operated until any of the doors is opened (or for about 60
seconds).
CAUTION
To avoid serious personal injury, you must do the following.

While the vehicle is moving, always keep the head, hands
and other parts of the body of all occupants away from the
roof opening. Otherwise, you could be seriously injured if
the vehicle stops suddenly or if the vehicle is involved in an
accident.

EXTERIOR EQUIPMENT
91

Always make sure nobody places his/her head,
hands and other parts of the body in the r oof opening
before you close the roof. If someone's neck, head or
hands gets caught in the closing roof, it could result
in a serious injury. When anyone closes the roof,
first make sure it is safe to do so.

Never leave small children alone in the vehicle,
especially with the ignition key still inserted. They
could use the moon roof switches and get trapped in
the roof opening. Unattended children can become
involved in serious accidents.

Never sit on top of the vehicle around the roof
opening.

MAINTENANCE
311
For details of your maintenance schedule, read the separate
ºOwner 's Manual Supplement/Maintenance Scheduleº.
It is recommended that any replacement parts used for
maintenance or for the repair of the emission control
system be Lexus supplied.
The owner may elect to use non±Lexus supplied parts for
replacement purposes without invalidating the emission
control system warranty. However, use of replacement
parts which are not of equivalent quality may impair the
effectiveness of the emission control systems.
You may also elect to have maintenance, replacement, or
repair of the emission control devices and system
performed by any automotive repair establishment or
individual without invalidating this warranty. See
Owner's Guide, Owner's Manual Supplement or
Warranty Booklet for complete warranty information.
Where to go for service?
Lexus technicians are well±trained specialists and are kept up
to date with the latest service information through technical
bulletins, service tips, and in±dealership training programs.
They are well informed about the operation of all the systems
on your vehicle.
You can be confident that your Lexus dealer's service
department performs the best job to meet the maintenance
requirements of your vehicle.
Your copy of the repair order is proof that all required
maintenance
has been performed for warranty coverage. And
if any problems should arise with your vehicle while under
warranty, your Lexus dealer will promptly take care of it.
Again, be sure to keep a copy of the repair order for any
service performed on your Lexus.
What about do±it±yourself maintenance?
Many of the maintenance items are easy to do yourself, if you
have a little mechanical ability and a few basic automotive
tools. Simple instructions for how to perform them are
presented in Section 6.
If you are a skilled do±it±yourself mechanic, the Lexus
service manuals are recommended. Please be aware that
do±it±yourself maintenance can affect your warranty
coverage. See your Owner's Guide, Owner's Manual
Supplement or Warranty Booklet for the details.
