NOTICE
■To prevent key damage
●Do not drop the keys, subject them to strong shocks or bend them.
●Do not expose the keys to high temperatures for a long period of time.
●Do not get the keys wet or wash them in an ultrasonic washer etc.
●Do not attach metallic or magnetic materials to the keys or place the keys close to
such materials.
●Do not disassemble the keys.
●Do not attach a sticker or anything else to the surface of the electronic key.
●Do not place the keys near objects that produce magnetic fields, such as TVs,
audio systems and induction cookers, or medical electrical equipment, such as
low-frequency therapy equipment.
■Handling the electronic keys
●Observe the following to prevent deterioration, changes in shape and damage to
the leather area.
• Do not carry the electronic key together with hard objects, such as other keys
or accessories.
• Do not expose the electronic keys to direct sunlight or interior light for
extended periods of time.
• Do not place the electronic key on items made of vinyl, plastic or that contain
wax.
They may stick to the leather surface if the items become warm.
• Do not get the electronic key wet.
Even if the electronic gets slightly wet, dry it with a soft cloth and let it dry in the
shade.
• Do not touch the electronic key with hands that have oil, medicine, hand
cream or perfume on them.
• When cleaning, do not use a leather cleaner, solvents or leather filling agents.
●Because the leather portion is dyed, if the electronic key touches clothing while it
has sweat and moisture adhered to it, there is a possibility that the clothing may
change color.

NOTICE
■When encountering flooded roads
Do not drive on a road that has flooded after heavy rain etc. Doing so may cause
the following serious damage to the vehicle:
●Engine stalling
●Short in electrical components
●Engine damage caused by water immersion
In the event that you drive on a flooded road and the vehicle is flooded, be sure to
have your Lexus dealer check the following:
●Brake function
●Changes in quantity and quality of oil and fluid used for the engine, transmission,
transfer (AWD models), differential, etc.
●Lubricant condition for the propeller shaft, bearings and suspension joints (where
possible), and the function of all joints, bearings, etc.

6548-1. Specifications
LS460/LS460L_GE (OM50G06E)
Recommended viscosity (SAE):
If you use SAE 10W-30 or a
higher viscosity engine oil in
extremely low temperatures, the
engine may become difficult to
start, so SAE 0W-20, 5W-20 or
5W-30 engine oil is recom-
mended.
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 viscosity characteristic of the oil
when the oil is at high temperature. An oil with a higher viscosity (one
with a higher value) may be better suited if the vehicle is operated at
high speeds, or under extreme load conditions.
Temperature range anticipated
before next oil change.
