■12-volt battery precautions
The 12-volt battery contains poisonous and corrosive acidic electrolyte, while related
parts contain lead and lead compounds. Observe the following precautions when han-
dling the 12-volt battery:
●When working with the 12-volt battery, alwa ys wear safety glasses and take care not
to allow any battery fluids (acid) to come in to contact with skin, clothing or the vehicle
body.
●Do not lean over the 12-volt battery.
●In the event that battery fluid comes into contact with the skin or eyes, immediately
wash the affected area with water and seek medical attention.
Place a wet sponge or cloth over the affected area until medical attention can be
received.
●Always wash your hands after handling the 12-volt battery support, terminals, and
other battery-related parts.
●Do not allow children near the 12-volt battery.
■After recharging the 12-volt battery
Have the 12-volt battery inspected at your Lexus dealer as soon as possible.
If the 12-volt battery is deteriorating, continued use may cause the 12-volt battery to
emit a malodorous gas, which may be de trimental to the health of passengers.
■When replacing the 12-volt battery
P. 4 8 9
NOTICE
■When handling jumper cables
When connecting the jumper cables, ensure th at they do not become entangled in the
cooling fans or belt.
■To prevent damaging the vehicle
The exclusive jump starting terminal is to be used when charging the 12-volt battery
from another vehicle in an emergency. It ca nnot be used to jump start another vehicle.

This information has been prepared in acco rdance with regulations issued by the
National Highway Traffic Safety Administration of the U.S. Department of Trans-
portation.
It provides the purchasers and/or prospective purchasers of Lexus vehicles with
information on uniform tire quality grading.
Your Lexus dealer will help answer any questions you may have as you read this infor-
mation.
■DOT quality grades
All passenger vehicle tires must conform to Federal Safety Requirements in
addition to these grades. Quality grad es can be found where applicable on
the tire sidewall between tread shoulder and maximum section width.
For example: Treadwear 200 Traction AA Temperature A
■Tr e a d w e a r
The treadwear grade is a comparative rati ng based on the wear rate of the tire
when tested under controlled conditions on a specified government test
course.
For example, a tire graded 150 would wear one and a half (1 - 1 /2) times as well on
the government course as a tire graded 100.
The relative performance of tires depends upon the actual conditions of their use.
Performance may differ significantly from the norm due to variations in driving
habits, service practices and differences in road characteristics and climate.
