Rear sunshade
Reverse operation feature
This function will become operational after the vehicle has been driven at
15 km/h (9 mph) or more with the rear sunshade in the raised position.
To ensure adequate rear visibility, the sunshade automatically lowers when
the shift lever is shifted to R and the function is in an operational condition.
However, the rear sunshade is raised again if either of the following occurs:
The switch is pressed again.
The shift lever is shifted out of R, and the vehicle reaches a speed of 15
km/h (9 mph).
If the engine is turned off when the rear sunshade has been lowered due to
the reverse operation feature, it will not be raised even when the engine is
turned on again and the vehicle reaches a speed of 15 km/h (9 mph). To raise
the sunshade again, press the switch.
The rear sunshade can be used when
The “ENGINE START STOP” switch is in IGNITION ON mode.
The rear sunshade can be raised and lowered by operating the switch
shown below.

IS250/220d/200d_EE
CAUTION
The engine compartment contains many mechanisms and fluids that may
move suddenly, become hot, or become electrically energized. To avoid death
or serious injury, observe the following precautions.
When working on the engine compartment
Keep hands, clothing, and tools away from the moving fan and engine
drive belt.
Be careful not to touch the engine, radiator, exhaust manifold, etc. right
after driving as they may be hot. Oil and other fluids may also be hot.
Do not leave anything that may burn easily, such as paper or rags, in the
engine compartment.
Do not smoke, cause sparks or expose an open flame to fuel or the battery.
Fuel and battery fumes are flammable.
Be extremely cautious when working on the battery. It contains poisonous
and corrosive sulfuric acid.
Take care because brake fluid can harm your hands or eyes and damage
painted surfaces.
If fluid gets on your hands or in your eyes, flush the affected area with
clean water immediately.
If you still experience discomfort, see a doctor.
When working near the electric cooling fan or radiator grille
Be sure the “ENGINE START STOP” switch is OFF.
With the “ENGINE START STOP” switch in IGNITION ON mode, the
electric cooling fan may automatically start to run if the air conditioning is
on and/or the coolant temperature is high. (P. 415)
CAUTION
Safety glasses
Wear safety glasses to prevent flying or falling material, fluid spray, etc.
from getting in the eyes.

Maintenance and care
IS250/220d/200d_EE
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 and
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. 1.0 L per 1,000 km (1.1 qt./600 miles, 0.9 Imp.
qt./600 miles)
If your vehicle consumes more than 1.0 L (1.1 qt., 0.9 Imp. qt.) every
1000 km (600 miles), contact any authorized Lexus dealer or repairer, or
another duly qualified and equipped professional.
After changing the engine oil (IS220d and IS200d)
The oil change system should be reset. Perform the following procedures:
Switch the display to the odometer (P. 171) when the engine is
running.
Turn the “ENGINE START STOP” switch OFF.
While pressing the trip meter reset button, set the “ENGINE
START STOP” switch to IGNITION ON mode (but do not start the
engine because otherwise the reset mode will be cancelled). Con-
tinue to press and hold the button until the trip meter displays
“000000”.
