CAUTION
To avoid serious personal injury, you must do the
following.
Always make sure the hands and other parts of the
bodies of all occupants are kept completely inside

use the power rear quarter window switches without
supervision.
 Be sure to remove the ignition key when you leave

ROLL SENSING OF CURTAIN
SHIELD AIRBAGS OFF SWITCH
12x600a
The roll sensing of curtain shield airbags off switch can
turn off the curtain shield airbags and front seat belt
pretensioners in a vehicle rollover. This switch should
only be used in a situation where the inflation is not
desired (such as during extreme offroad driving).
When you push the roll sensing of curtain shield airbags off
switch for a few seconds with the ignition switch on, the roll
sensing of curtain shield airbags off indicator light comes on
and the roll sensing function is turned off. When you push the
switch again, the indicator light goes off and the roll sensing
function is turned on. In a severe side impact, the
curtain shield airbag on the
impacted side will inflate even if the roll sensing function is
turned off.
If the ignition switch is turned to “ACC” or “LOCK” with the r\
oll
sensing function off and then the ignition switch is turned back
to “ON”, the roll sensing function will be back on automatically.
For details, see “Seat belt pretensioners” on page 130 or “SRS
side airbags and curtain shield airbags” on page 144.
CAUTION
 Make sure the roll sensing of curtain shield airbags
off indicator light is not on.
 When the roll sensing of curtain shield airbags off
switch is turned on (and the roll sensing of curtain
shield airbags off indicator light is on), the curtain
shield airbags and front seat belt pretensioners will
not inflate in a vehicle rollover. Turning off the curtain
shield airbags can reduce the occupant protection
which your vehicle safety systems can provide to you
in certain accidents and increase the likelihood of
death or serious injuries.

FUEL GAUGE
13X500
Low fuel level warning light
The gauge indicates the approximate quantity of fuel
remaining in the tank when the ignition switch is on.
It is a good idea to keep the tank over 1/4 full.
If the fuel level approaches “E” or the low fuel level warning light\
comes on, fill the fuel tank as soon as possible.
On inclines or curves, due to the movement of fuel in the tank,
the fuel gauge needle may fluctuate or the low fuel level
warning light may come on earlier than usual.
If the fuel tank is completely empty, the malfunction indicator
lamp comes on. Fill the fuel tank immediately.
The indicator lamp goes off after driving several times. If the
indicator lamp does not go off, contact your Lexus dealer as
soon as possible. See the inner back cover for fuel capacity and recommended
fuel selection.
ENGINE COOLANT
TEMPERATURE GAUGE
13X501
 Normal range
The gauge indicates the engine coolant temperature when
the ignition switch is on. The engine operating
temperature will vary with changes in weather and engine
load.
If the needle points to the red zone or higher, stop your vehicle
and allow the engine to cool.

NOTICE
Do not drive the vehicle with the engine oil pressure
below the normal range until the cause is fixed it may
ruin the engine.
VOLTMETER
13X503a
 1 Normal range 2Charging system warning light
The voltmeter tells whether the battery is charged or
discharged. Check it while the engine is running the
needle should always indicate as shown above.
If the needle reads below or above the normal range while the
engine is running, it indicates the charging system needs
immediate repair.
However, it is normal for the needle to drop below the normal
range during engine starting.
