Interior features
GS450h_300h_OM_OM30D53E_(EE)
When using the hands-free system
The audio system is muted when making a call.
If both parties speak at the same time, it may be difficult to hear.
If the incoming call volume is overly loud, an echo may be heard.
Try to face toward the microphone as much as possible when speaking.
In the following circumstances, it may be difficult to hear the other party:
• When driving on unpaved roads
• When driving at high speeds
• If a window is open
• If the air conditioning is blowing directly on the microphone
• If the air conditioning is set to high
• There is an effect from the network of the cellular phone
Conditions under which the system will not operate
If using a cellular phone that does not support Bluetooth®
If the cellular phone is turned off
If you are outside service range
If the cellular phone is not connected
If the cellular phone’s battery is low
Bluetooth® antenna
The antenna is built into the instrument panel. If the cellular phone is behind
the seat or in the console box, or touching or covered by metal objects, con-
nection status may deteriorate.
Battery charge/Signal status
This display may not correspond exactly with the cellular phone itself.
When the cellular phone is not connected, “No connect” is displayed.
When the cellular phone is out of the service area or in a place inaccessible
by radio waves, “No service” is displayed.
When using Bluetooth® audio and hands-free system at the same time
The following problems may occur.
The Bluetooth® connection may be cut.
Noise may be heard on the Bluetooth® audio playback.

6245-4. Using the hands-free phone system(for cellular phone)
GS450h_300h_OM_OM30D53E_(EE)
For vehicles sold in Albania
For vehicles sold in Croatia
CAUTION
Caution while driving
Vehicles without navigation system
Do not use the cellular phone or connect the Bluetooth
® system.
Vehicles with navigation system
Use a cellular phone or connect the Bluetooth
® phone only when safe and
legal to do so.
Caution regarding interference with electronic devices
Your audio unit is fitted with Bluetooth® antennas. People with implant-
able cardiac pacemakers, cardiac resynchronization therapy-pacemakers
or implantable cardioverter defibrillators should maintain a reasonable
distance between themselves and the Bluetooth
® antennas. The radio
waves may affect the operation of such devices.
Before using Bluetooth® devices, users of any electrical medical device
other than implantable cardiac pacemakers, cardiac resynchronization
therapy-pacemakers or implantable cardioverter defibrillators should con-
sult the manufacturer of the device for information about its operation
under the influence of radio waves. Radio waves could have unexpected
effects on the operation of such medical devices.
NOTICE
When leaving the vehicle
Do not leave your cellular phone in the vehicle. The inside of the vehicle
may become hot, causing damage to the phone.

7606-3. Do-it-yourself maintenance
GS450h_300h_OM_OM30D53E_(EE)
Low profile tires (except 225/50R17 tires)
Generally, low profile tires will wear more rapidly and tire grip performance
will be reduced on snowy and/or icy roads when compared to standard tires.
Be sure to use snow tires or tire chains on snowy and/or icy roads and drive
carefully at a speed appropriate for road and weather conditions. (P. 436)
If the tread on snow tires wears down below 4 mm (0.16 in.)
The effectiveness of the tires as snow tires is lost.
Situations in which the tire pressure warning system may not operate properly
(vehicles with the tire pressure warning system)
In the following cases, the tire pressure warning system may not operate
properly.
• If non-genuine Lexus wheels are used.
• A tire has been replaced with a tire that is not an OE (Original Equip-
ment) tire.
• A tire has been replaced with a tire that is not of the specified size.
• Tire chains etc. are equipped.
• Lock nuts are equipped.
• An auxiliary-supported run-flat tire is equipped.
• If a window tint that affects the radio wave signals is installed.
• If there is a lot of snow or ice on the vehicle, particularly around the
wheels or wheel housings.
• If the tire inflation pressure is extremely higher than the specified level.
Performance may be affected in the following situations.
• Near a TV tower, electric power plant, gas station, radio station, large
display, airport or other facility that generates strong radio waves or elec-
trical noise
• When carrying a portable radio, cellular phone, cordless phone or other
wireless communication device
Vehicles with the tire inflation pressure display function: If tire position
information is not correctly displayed due to the radio wave conditions, the
display may be corrected by driving and changing the radio wave condi-
tions.
When the vehicle is parked, the time taken for the warning to start or go off
could be extended.
When tire inflation pressure declines rapidly for example when a tire has
burst, the warning may not function.

CAUTION
Caution regarding interference with electronic devices (vehicles with the
tire pressure warning system featuring a tire inflation pressure display func-
tion)
Users of any electrical medical device other than implantable cardiac
pacemakers, cardiac resynchronization therapy-pacemakers or implant-
able cardioverter defibrillators should consult the manufacturer of the
device for information about its operation under the influence of radio
waves.
Radio waves could have unexpected effects on the operation of such med-
ical devices.
People with implantable cardiac pace-
makers, cardiac resynchronization ther-
apy-pacemakers or implantable
cardioverter defibrillators should not
come within 450 mm (17.7 in.) of the
tire pressure warning system initiators.
The radio waves may affect the opera-
tion of such devices

(If equipped)
Indicates that the tire
position information
cannot be recognized
Drive for a short while
and check if the display

the tire pressure is
still not displayed
after driving for sev-
eral minutes, stop the
vehicle in a safe
place, turn the power
switch off then on
again, and start driv-
ing.
If the tire pressure is
still not displayed

this several times,
have the vehicle
inspected by any
authorized Lexus
dealer or repairer, or
another duly quali-
fied and equipped
professional.
