Using a mechanical key
G15004
To unlock the trunk lid, insert the mechanical key and turn
it clockwise.
To close the trunk lid, lower it and press down on it. After
closing the trunk lid, try pulling it up to make sure it is securely
closed.
CAUTION
 Keep the trunk lid closed while driving. This not only
keeps the luggage from being thrown out, but also
prevents exhaust gases from entering the vehicle.
 Always lock the trunk lid and all doors, and keep
away the vehicle keys out of children’s reach.
 Never leave children unattended in the vehicle. Un
supervised children may lock themselves in the
vehicles or trunk and suffer serious injuries or death.
Trunk lid closer
If the trunk lid is closed but does not latch shut, it
automatically closes completely.
CAUTION
Pay careful attention not to get your fingers trapped
as the trunk lid automatically closes when the trunk
has not been fully closed.
 Never allow a child to operate the trunk lid.
NOTICE
Do not apply excessive force when the trunk lid closer
is operating. Doing so may damage the trunk lid closer.
Also, be careful not to leave the key inside the trunk.

hear a click. When you hear the click, the cap is fully
closed.

indicator lamp does not go off, contact your Lexus dealer as
soon as possible.

STARTING AND DRIVING
378The above illustration indicates that the collision will be
avoided by turning the steering wheel clockwise.
When
the possibility that the distance between the vehicle and
the obstacle is less than about 25 cm (0.8 ft.) is eliminated by
turning the steering wheel more, the steering guide symbol will
go out and the beeps will stop sounding.
The steering guide symbol and arrow are not instructions
you must observe. They are just a guide to avoid a
collision.
1 Multiinformation display:
The indicator bars will come on depending on the
distance to the obstacle . The steering guide symbol and
arrow will also come on.
2Screen:
The indicator bars will come on in yellow depending on
the distance to the obstacle. The steering guide symbol
and arrow will also come on. In addition, the current
direction of the tires is also indicated in 3 stages.
Beeps:
As distance to the obstacle gets closer, the interval of the
intermittent sound gets shorter, and then finally to a continuous
sound when the distance between the vehicle and the obstacle
is less than about 25 cm (0.8 ft.).
CAUTION
When an obstacle is detected within about 25 cm (0.8 ft.)
from the vehicle, the dual sensors will change the
determination to an unavoidable collision. To avoid an
accident or injury, be sure to confirm a safe distance
around your vehicle with your eyes and drive slowly.

5. Loosen all the wheel nuts.
Always loosen the wheel nuts before raising the vehicle.
Turn the wheel nuts counterclockwise to loosen them.
To get maximum leverage, fit the wrench to the nut so
that the handle is on the right side, as shown above.
Grab the wrench near the end of the handle and pull up
on the handle. Be careful that the wrench does not slip
off the nut.
Do not remove the nuts yet − just unscrew them about
one−half turn.
CAUTION
Never use oil or grease on the bolts or nuts. The
nuts may loosen and the wheels may fall off, which
could cause a serious accident.

6. Position the jack at the jack points as shown.

surface.

7. After making sure no one is in the vehicle, raise it
high enough so that the spare tire can be installed.
Allow for the fact that you need more ground clearance
when putting on the spare tire than when removing the
flat tire.
To raise the vehicle, insert the jack handle into the jack
(it is a loose fit) and turn it clockwise. As the jack touches
the vehicle and begins to lift, double −check that it is
properly positioned.
CAUTION
Never get under the vehicle when the vehicle is
supported by the jack alone.
G40011
8. Remove the wheel nuts and remove the flat tire.
Lift the flat tire straight off and put it aside.

10. Lower the vehicle completely and tighten the
wheel nuts.
Turn the jack handle counterclockwise to lower the
vehicle.
Use only the wheel nut wrench to tighten the nuts. Do
not use other tools or any additional leverage other than
your hands, such as a hammer, pipe or your foot. Make
sure the wrench is securely engaged over the nut.
Tighten each nut a little at a time in the order shown.
Repeat the process until all the nuts are tight.
CAUTION
 When lowering the vehicle, make sure all
portions of your body and all other persons
around will not be injured as the vehicle is
lowered to the ground.
 Have the wheel nuts tightened with torque
wrench to 103 N·m (10.5 kgf·m, 76 ft·lbf.), as
soon as possible after changing wheels.
Otherwise, the nuts may loosen and the wheels
may fall off, which could cause a serious
accident.
 Do not attach a heavily damaged plastic wheel
ornament. It may fly off the wheel and cause
accidents while the vehicle is moving.
