CAUTION
■When washing the vehicle
Do not apply water to the inside of the engine compartment. Doing so may cause
the electrical components etc. to catch fire.

■Precautions regarding the exhaust pipes and rear bumper diffusers
Exhaust gases cause the exhaust pipes and rear bumper diffusers to become quite
hot.
When washing the vehicle, be careful not to touch the pipes and diffusers until they
have cooled sufficiently, as touching hot exhaust pipes and rear bumper diffusers
can cause burns.

What about do-it-yourself maintenance?
Many of the maintenance items are easy to do yourself if you have a little mechan-
ical ability and a few basic automotive tools. Simple instructions for how to per-
form them are presented in this section.
Note, however, that some maintenance tasks require special tools and skills.
These are best performed by qualified technicians. Even if you are an experi-
enced do-it-yourself mechanic, we recommend that repairs and maintenance be
conducted by your Lexus dealer who will keep a record of maintenance on your
vehicle. This record could be helpful should you ever require Warranty Service.
■Does your vehicle need repairs?
Be on the alert for changes in performance and sounds, and visual tip-offs that indi-
cate service is needed. Some important clues are:
●Engine missing, stumbling or pinging
●Appreciable loss of power
●Strange engine noises
●A fluid leak under the vehicle (However, water dripping from the air conditioning
system after use is normal.)
●Change in exhaust sound (This may indicate a dangerous carbon monoxide leak.
Drive with the windows open and have the exhaust system checked immediately.)
●Flat-looking tires, excessive tire squeal when cornering, uneven tire wear
●Vehicle pulls to one side when driven straight on a level road
●Strange noises related to suspension movement
●Loss of brake effectiveness, spongy feeling brake pedal, pedal almost touches the
floor, vehicle pulls to one side when braking
●Engine coolant temperature continually higher than normal ( P. 125)
If you notice any of these clues, take your vehicle to your Lexus dealer as soon as
possible. Your vehicle may need adjustment or repair.
