CAUTION
■When the Emergency Call may not be made
●Any of the followings may occur. In such cases, report to the Public Safety
Answering Point (PSAP) by other means such as nearby public phones.
• It may sometimes be difficult to connect to the Public Safety Answering Point
(PSAP) even in the reception area of the cellular phone due to the reception
level, or if the line is busy.
In such cases, you may not be able to connect to the Public Safety Answering
Point (PSAP) and thus will not be able to make emergency calls and report to
the emergency departments even though the system tries to connect to the
Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP).
• When the vehicle is out of the cellular phone service area, the Emergency Call
cannot be made.
• When any related equipment (such as the “SOS” button panel, indicators,
microphone, speaker, DCM, antenna, or any wires connecting the equip-
ment.) has an abnormality, is damaged or broken, the Emergency Call cannot
be made.
• During the Emergency Call, the system makes repeated attempts to connect
to the Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP). However, if it cannot connect to
the Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) due to poor radio wave reception,
the system may not be able to connect to the cellular network and the call may
finish without connecting. The red indicator light will blink for approximately
30 seconds to indicate this disconnection.
• This device may not function if a shock is applied to it.
●If the battery's voltage decreases or there is a disconnection, the system may not
be able to access the Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP).
■When replacing DCM to a new one
ERA-GLONASS have to be activated. Contact your Lexus dealer.

6-2. Maintenance
●Scheduled maintenance should be performed at specified intervals
according to the maintenance schedule.
The interval for scheduled maintenance is determined by the odometer reading
or the time interval, whichever comes first, shown in the schedule.
Maintenance beyond the last period should be performed at the same intervals.
●Where to go for maintenance service?
It makes good sense to take your vehicle to your local Lexus dealer for mainte-
nance service as well as other inspections and repairs.
Lexus technicians are well-trained specialists receiving the latest service informa-
tion through technical bulletins, service tips and in-dealership training programs.
They learn to work on Lexus before they work on your vehicle, rather than while
they are working on it. Doesn’t that seem like the best way?
Your Lexus dealer has invested a lot of money in special Lexus tools and service
equipment. It helps them to do the job better and at less cost.
Your Lexus dealer’s service department will perform all of the scheduled mainte-
nance on your vehicle reliably and economically.
Rubber hoses (for cooling and heater system, brake system and fuel system)
should be inspected by a qualified technician according to the Lexus mainte-
nance schedule.
Rubber hoses are particularly important maintenance items. Have any deterio-
rated or damaged hoses replaced immediately. Note that rubber hoses will dete-
riorate with age, resulting in swelling, chafing or cracking.
Maintenance requirements
To ensure safe and economical driving, day-to-day care and regular
maintenance are essential. Lexus recommends the following mainte-
nance:

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.

Maintenance schedule requirements
Your vehicle needs to be serviced according to the normal

perature)
3. Extensive idling and/or low
