If the vehicle battery is discharged
The following procedures may be used to start the engine if the vehi-
cle's battery is discharged.
You can call any authorized Lexus dealer or repairer, or another duly
qualified and equipped professional.
If you have a set of jumper (or booster) cables and a second
vehicle with a 12-volt battery, you can jump start your Lexus
following the steps below.
Connecting the jumper cables.
Remove the engine cover.
Positive (+) battery terminal on your vehicle
Positive (+) battery terminal on the second vehicle
Negative (-) battery terminal on the second vehicle
Connect the jumper cable to ground on your vehicle as shown
in the illustration. (The illustration depicts a left-hand drive
vehicle. For right-hand drive vehicles, connect the jumper
cable to the metal base fitting of the engine cover pin by the
side of the engine oil filler cap.)

*: The engine oil capacity is a reference quantity to be used when exchang-
ing. Warm up and turn off the engine, wait more than 5 minutes, and
check the oil level on the dipstick.
Engine oil selection
“Toyota Genuine Motor Oil” is used in your Lexus vehicle. Lexus
recommends the use of approved “Toyota Genuine Motor Oil”.
Another motor oil of matching quality can also be used.
Oil grade:
5W-30 and 10W-30:
API grade SL “Energy-Conserving”, SM “Energy-Conserving”,
SN “Resource-Conserving” or ILSAC multigrade engine oil
15W-40 and 20W-50:

6-1. Specifications
IS F_EERecommended viscosity (SAE):
SAE 5W-30 is filled into your
Lexus vehicle at manufactur-
ing, and the best choice for
good fuel economy and good
starting in cold weather.
If you use SAE 10W-30 or a
higher viscosity engine oil in
extremely low temperatures,
the engine may become diffi-
cult to start, so SAE 5W-30
engine oil is recommended.
Oil viscosity (5W-30 is explained here as an example):
• The 5W in 5W-30 indicates the characteristic of the oil which
allows cold startability. Oils with a lower value before the W allow
for easier starting of the engine in cold weather.
• The 30 in 5W-30 indicates the viscosity characteristic of the oil
when the oil is at high temperature. An oil with a higher viscosity
(one with a higher value) may be better suited if the vehicle is oper-
ated at high speeds, or under extreme load conditions.
