For your information
Please note that this manual applies to all models and explains all equipment, including
options. Therefore, you may find some expl anations for equipment not installed on your
vehicle.
All specifications provided in this manual are current at the time of printing. However,
because of the Lexus policy of continual pr oduct improvement, we reserve the right to
make changes at any time without notice.
Depending on specifications, the vehicle show n in the illustrations may differ from your
vehicle in terms of color and equipment.
Approximately five hours after the hybrid system is turned off, you may hear sound com-
ing from under the vehicle for several minutes. This is the sound of a fuel evaporation
leakage check and, it does not indicate a malfunction.
A wide variety of non-genuine spare parts and accessories for Lexus vehicles are cur-
rently available in the market. You should know that Toyota does not warrant these prod-
ucts and is not responsible for their performance, repair, or replacement, or for any
damage they may cause to, or adverse effect they may have on, your Lexus vehicle.
This vehicle should not be modified with non-genuine Lexus products. Modification with
non-genuine Lexus products could affect its performance, safety or durability, and may
even violate governmental regulations. In addition, damage or performance problems
resulting from the modification may not be covered under warranty.
The installation of a mobile two-way radio sy stem in your vehicle could affect electronic
systems such as:
●Multiport fuel injection system/sequential multiport fuel injection system
●Dynamic radar cruise control with full-speed range system
●Dynamic radar cruise control system
●Cruise control system
●Anti-lock brake system
●Vehicle dynamics in tegrated management
●SRS airbag system
●Seat belt pretensioner system
Be sure to check with your Lexus dealer fo r precautionary measures or special instruc-
tions regarding insta llation of a mobile two-way radio system.
High voltage parts and cables on the hybrid vehicles emit approximately the same
amount of electromagnetic waves as the conventional gasoline powered vehicles or
home electronic appliances despite of their electromagnetic shielding.
Unwanted noise may occur in the rece ption of the mobile two-way radio.
