7745-2. Steps to take in an emergency
CAUTION■
Replacing a flat tire ●
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in serious injury:
• Do not touch the disc wheels or the ar ea around the brakes immediately after
the vehicle has been driven.
After the vehicle has been driven the disc wheels and the area around the
brakes will be extremely hot. Touching these areas with hands, feet or other
body parts while changing a tire, etc. may result in burns.
• Do not attach a heavily damaged wheel ornament, as it may fly off the wheel
while the vehicle is moving.●
Failure to follow these precautions could cause the wheel nuts to loosen and the
tire to fall off, resulting in death or serious injury.
• Never use oil or grease on the wheel bolts or wheel nuts.
Oil and grease may cause the wheel nuts to be excessively tightened, leading
to bolt or disc wheel damage. In addition, the oil or grease can cause the
wheel nuts to loosen and the wheel may fall off, causing a serious accident.
Remove any oil or grease from the wheel bolts or wheel nuts.
• Have the wheel nuts tightened with a to rque wrench to 76 ft•lbf (103 N•m,
10.5 kgf•m) as soon as possible after changing wheels.
• When installing a tire, only use whee l nuts that have been specifically
designed for that wheel.
• If there are any cracks or deformations in the bolt screws, nut threads or bolt
holes of the wheel, have the vehicle inspected by your Lexus dealer.■
Replacing a flat tire for ve hicles with power back door
In cases such as when replacing tires, make sure to turn off the power back door
main switch (  P. 77). Failure to do so may cause the back door to operate uninten-
tionally if the power back door switch is accidentally touched, resulting in hands and
fingers being caught and injured.

7905-2. Steps to take in an emergency
If the fans are not operating:
Stop the hybrid system immediately and contact your Lexus
dealer.
If the fans are operating:
Have the vehicle inspected at the nearest Lexus dealer.
■ If “HYBRID SYSTEM OVERHEAT” is shown on the multi-informa-
tion display
Stop the vehicle in a safe place. Ensure that the opening for the oil
cooler is not blocked by dirt or any
other foreign substance. If the
opening is not blocked or if the
message does not disappear after
some time the opening has been
cleaned, proceed to STEP 2.
Stop the hybrid system and carefully lift the hood.
After the hybrid system has cooled
down, inspect the hoses and radia-
tor core (radiator) for any leaks.

Cooling fans If a large amount of coolant leaks,
immediately contact your Lexus
dealer.
The coolant level is satisfactory if it
is between the “FULL” and “LOW”
lines on the reservoir.

Lubrication system
*: The engine oil capacity is a reference quantity to be used when changing
the engine oil. Warm up the engine and turn off the hybrid system, 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. Use Lexus
approved “Toyota Genuine Motor Oil” or equivalent to satisfy the follow-
ing grade and viscosity.
Oil grade: ILSAC GF-5 multigrade engine oilOil capacity
(Drain and refill 
reference*)
With filter 6.4 qt. (6.1 L, 5.4 Imp. qt.)
Without filter 6.0 qt. (5.7 L, 5.0 Imp. qt.)

Vehicle specifications Recommended viscosity: SAE 0W-20
SAE 0W-20 is the best choice for
good fuel economy and good
starting in cold weather.
If SAE 0W-20 is not available,
SAE 5W-20 oil may be used.
However, it must be replaced with
SAE 0W-20 at the next oil
change.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 vi scosity characteristic of the oil
when the oil is at high temperature. An oil with a higher viscosity
(one with a higher valu e) may be better suited if the vehicle is oper-
ated at high speeds, or under extreme load conditions.
How to read oil container label:
The International Lubricant Specification Advisory Committee
(ILSAC) Certification Mark is adde d to some oil cont ainers to help
you select the oil you should use. Outside temperature
