If the engine will not start
If the engine will not start even though correct starting procedures are
being followed (P. 156), consider each of the following points.
The engine will not start even when the starter motor operates
normally.
One of the following may be the cause of the problem.
There may not be sufficient fuel in the vehicle’s tank.
IS250: Refuel the vehicle.
IS220d and IS200d: P. 531
The engine may be flooded. (IS250)
Try to restart the engine once more following correct start-
ing procedures. (P. 156)
There may be a malfunction in the engine immobilizer sys-
tem.
(P. 96)
The starter motor turns over slowly, the interior lights and
headlights are dim, or the horn does not sound or sounds at a
low volume.
One of the following may be the cause of the problem.
The battery may be discharged. (P. 524)
The battery terminal connections may be loose or corroded.
The starter motor does not turn over, the interior lights and
headlights do not turn on, or the horn does not sound.
One of the following may be the cause of the problem.
One or both of the battery terminals may be disconnected.
The battery may be discharged. (P. 524)

If you run out of fuel and the engine stalls (IS220d and IS200d)
NOTICE
When restarting the engine
Do not crank the engine before refueling and priming the fuel system. This
may damage the engine and fuel system.
If you run out of fuel and the engine dies:
Refuel your vehicle.
Prime the fuel system by
using the satellite switches.
Push “” or “” to select prim-
ing operation mode. ( )
Press the “ON/OFF” button to
select “ON”. ( )
The priming operation will
start.
Wait for 1 minute and start the engine. (P. 156)
The priming operation will automatically stop when the engine
starts.
If the engine does not start after the above steps performed,
wait for 10 seconds and try step 2 and step 3 again. If the
engine still does not start, contact any authorized Lexus dealer
or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped profes-
sional.

IS250/220d/200d_EERecommended viscosity (SAE):
SAE 0W-20 is filled into your
Lexus vehicle at manufactur-
ing, and the best choice for
good fuel economy and good
starting in cold weather.
If SAE 0W-20 oil is not avail-
able, SAE 5W-30 oil may be
used. However, it should be
replaced with SAE 0W-20 at
the next oil change.
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 or
lower viscosity engine oil is
recommended.
Oil viscosity (0W-20 is explained here as an example):
• The 0W in 0W-20 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 20 in 0W-20 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.
Temperature range anticipated
before next oil change.

IS250/220d/200d_EEHow to read oil container labels:
Either or both API registered marks are added to some oil contain-
ers to help you select the oil you should use.
API Service Symbol
Top portion: The oil quality des-
ignation by API (American
Petroleum Institute) (SN)
Center portion: The SAE vis-
cosity grade (SAE 0W-20)
Lower portion: “Resource-Con-
serving” means that the oil has
fuel saving and environmental
protection.
ILSAC Certification Mark
The ILSAC (International
Lubricant Standardization and
Approval Committee) Certifica-
tion Mark is displayed on the
front of the container.
