Rear electric sunshade
14L283b
To raise the rear electric sunshade, push the switch. To
lower the shade, push the same switch again.
The sunshade works when the ignition switch is in the “ON”
position.
When the selector lever is shifted into the “R” position
while the sunshade is raised, the sunshade will be
automatically lowered.
To raise the sunshade again, perform any of the following
operations:
Shift the selector lever into the “P” position.
 Push the switch again.
 Move the selector lever out of “R” position and drive your
vehicle over 15 km/h (9 mph). Retained accessory power: Even after the ignition switch is
turned to the “ACC” or “LOCK” position, the sunshade can be
operated for about 60 seconds.
CAUTION
 Do not touch the brackets fastening the shade to
avoid injuring your fingers or hands.
 Do not put your fingers in the shade groove while the
shade is operating to avoid getting them caught or
injured by the runner.
NOTICE
To prevent the vehicle battery from being discharged,
always operate the shade while the engine is running.
 Observe the following to avoid damage and/or
malfunction:
Do not overload the shade motor and other parts (for
instance by pushing down on the sunshade bracket
while it is opening).
Do not place anything where it may hinder the
opening/closing of the shade.
Do not affix anything to the shade.
Clean the shade groove if there is any foreign matter
or dust on it.
Do not operate the rear electric sunshade repeatedly
for a long time as its motor may overheat.

15L040c
Pull the manual lever located in the trunk toward the back.
This is used in case the fuel filler door cannot be opened due
to a discharged battery or other trouble.
Refueling the vehicle
As soon as the correctly operated nozzle switches off
automatically for the first time, the tank is full. Do not try
to add more fuel, because fuel may spill out.
MOON ROOF
15L086
 1 Open 2Close
To slide open the moon roof, push the slide control switch
toward the back for about 1 second. The moon roof will
open and stop partway 30 mm (1.2 in.) from the fully
opened position. When you push the switch once again,
the moon roof will fully open. To stop partway, push the
same side or the “TILT” switch.
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 switch must be in the
“ON” position.
The sunshade can be opened or closed manually. However,
if you open the moon roof, the sunshade will be opened with
the moon roof.

CHILD RESTRAINT
Child restraint precautions
Lexus strongly urges the use of appropriate child
restraint systems for children.
The laws of all 50 states in the U.S.A. and Canada now require
the use of a child restraint system.
Your vehicle conforms to SAE J1819.
If a child is too large for a child restraint system, the child should
sit in the rear seat and must be restrained using the vehicle’s
seat belt. See “Seat belts” on page 168 for details.
CAUTION
 For effective protection in automobile accidents and
sudden stops, a child must be properly restrained,
using a seat belt or child restraint system depending
on age and size of the child. Holding a child in your
arms is not a substitute for a child restraint system.
In an accident, the child can be crushed against the
windshield, or between you and the vehicle’s interior.
 Lexus strongly urges use of a proper child restraint
system which conforms to the size of the child,
installed on the rear seat. According to accident
statistics, the child is safer when properly restrained
in the rear seat than in the front seat.
