MOON ROOF
SV15003

1Open 2Close
To slide open the moon roof, push the switch on the rear
side briefly. The moon roof will open and stop partway 30
mm (1.2 in.) from the fully opened position. When you
push the switch again, the moon roof will open fully. To
stop partway, push the same switch or ºTILTº switch
briefly while the moon roof is moving.
As driving with the moon roof opened fully will cause wind
throbs, we recommend you to drive with the moon roof partway
30 mm (1.2 in.) from the fully opened position.
To operate the moon roof, the ignition key must be in the ºONº
position.
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 on the front side.
The moon roof will fully close. To stop partway, push the
same switch or ºTILTº switch.
SS15012

1Tilt up 2Lower
To tilt up the rear end of the moon roof fully, 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.
Key off operation:
Even if the ignition key is turned to the
ºACCº or ºLOCKº position, the moon roof can be operated until
either of the front doors is opened (or for about 45 seconds).

Jam protection function
During closing operation, the moon roof stops and is open if
something gets caught into the roof opening.
If the moon roof receives a strong impact, this function may
work even if nothing is caught.
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.
 Always make sure nobody places his/her head,
hands and other parts of the body in the roof 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.
Never try jamming any part of your body to make the
jam protection function work intentionally.
 The jam protection function may not work if
something gets caught just before the moon roof
fully closed.

MAINTENANCE
221
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 ºOwner's Guideº, ºOwner's Manual
Supplementº or ºWarranty Bookletº for the details.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
Listed below are the general maintenance items that should be
performed at the intervals specified. It is recommended that
any problem you notice be brought to the attention of your
Lexus dealer or qualified service shop for their advice.
CAUTION
Make these checks only where adequate ventilation can
be obtained if you run the engine.
Vehicle exterior
Items listed below should be performed from time to time,
unless otherwise specified.

Tire surface
Check the tires carefully for cuts, damage or excessive wear.
See page 254 for additional information.
