■When the 12 volt battery is disconnected
All preset stations are erased.
■Reception sensitivity
●Maintaining perfect radio reception at all times is difficult due to the continually
changing position of the antenna, differences in signal strength and surrounding
objects, such as trains, transmitters, etc.
●The radio antenna is mounted inside the rear window. To maintain clear radio
reception, do not attach metallic window tinting or other metallic objects to the
antenna wire mounted inside the rear window.
■Receiving XM® Satellite Radio
The optional Lexus genuine satellite radio tuner and antenna allows you to receive
and play XM
® Satellite Radio broadcasts. (Subscription is required. Not available
in Hawaii and Alaska.)

lem. Select “CH000” using the dial, and the receiver’s 8-character ID

■Engine oil consumption
●The amount of engine oil consumed depends on the oil viscosity, the quality of
the oil and the way the vehicle is driven.
●More oil is consumed under driving conditions such as high speeds, frequent
acceleration and deceleration.
●A new engine consumes more oil.
●When judging the amount of oil consumption, keep in mind that the oil may
have become diluted, making it difficult to judge the true level accurately.
●Oil consumption: Max. 1.1 qt./600 miles, 0.9 lmp.qt./600 miles (1.0 L per 1000
km). If the vehicle consumes more than this amount, contact your Lexus dealer.
■Resetting the engine oil maintenance data (U.S.A. only)
Perform the following steps:Press the “DISP” switch ( →P. 140) to change the multi-information dis-
play to blank.
Turn the “ENGINE START STOP” switch to OFF.
Turn the “ENGINE START STOP” switch to IGNITION ON mode with
the trip meter reset button held down.
Keep pressing the button for longer than 7 seconds after the “ENGINE
START STOP” switch is in IGNITION ON mode.
