of emergency. If the occupants are unable to communicate, the agent auto-
matically treats the call as an emer gency, contacts the nearest emergency
services provider to describe the situation, and requests that assistance be
sent to the location.
* : In some cases, the call cannot be made. ( P. 437)

WARNING
■For your safety
●Please drive safely.
The function of this system is to assist you in making the Emergency Call in case of
accidents as traffic accidents or sudden medi cal emergencies, and it does not protect
the driver or the passengers in any way. Plea se drive safely and fasten your seatbelts
at all times for your safety.
●In case of an emergency, make lives the top priority.
●If you smell anything burning or another unus ual smell, do not stay inside the vehicle
and evacuate to a safe area immediately.
●Since the system detects shocks, the automatic reporting may not always occur syn-
chronized with the operation of the airbag system. (If the vehicle is bumped from
behind, etc.)
●The airbag may not inflate even in case of an accident, if it does not involve high
impact. In such cases, the system may not make emergency calls automatically. The
system may also not make automatic emergency calls even if the airbag has been
inflated. If any of these should occur, plea se report to the Public Safety Answering
Point (PSAP) by operating the “SOS” button.
●For safety, do not make the Emergency Call while driving.
Making calls during driving may cause mish andling of the steering wheel, which may
lead to unexpected accidents.
Stop the vehicle and confirm the safety of the area before making the Emergency
Call.
●When changing fuses, please use fuses that correspond to the described standard.
If you use fuses other than those described, it may cause ignition or smoke in the cir-
cuit and may lead to a fire.
●Using the system while there is smoke or an unusual smell may cause a fire. Stop
using the system immediately and consult any authorized Lexus retailer or Lexus
authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
NOTICE

Maintenance and care
GS350_200t_GS F_OM_OM30F83E_(EE)
● Brush the surfaces using a soft brush.
Do not brush hard as doing so may cause damage.
● Wipe the surfaces clean with a soft cloth that has been dampened in cold or
lukewarm water and squeezed out.
● Allow the artificial leather (Alcantara ®
*) to dry in a shaded and ventilated
area.
* :“Alcantara ®
” is a registered trademark of Alcantara S.p.A.
■Caring for leather areas
Lexus recommends cleaning the interior of the vehicle at least twice a year to maintain
the quality of the vehicle’s interior.
■Shampooing the carpets
There are several commercial foaming-type cleaners available. Use a sponge or brush to
apply the foam. Rub in overlapping circles. Do not use water. Wipe dirty surfaces and let
them dry. Excellent results are obtained by keeping the carpet as dry as possible.
■Seat belts
Clean with mild soap and lukewarm water using a cloth or sponge. Also check the belts
periodically for excessive wear, fraying or cuts.
■When cleaning the carpeted portions of the glove box, console box, etc.
If a strong adhesive tape is used, there is a possibility that the surface of the carpet could
be damaged.
Cleaning the artificial leather (Alcantara ®
*) areas
WARNING
■Water in the vehicle
●Do not splash or spill liquid in the vehicle.
Doing so may cause the electrical components, etc. to malfunction or catch fire.
●Do not get any of the SRS components or wiring in the vehicle interior wet. ( P. 52)
An electrical malfunction may cause the airbags to deploy or not function properly,
resulting in death or serious injury.
■Cleaning the interior (especially instrument panel)
Do not use polish wax or polish cleaner. The instrument panel may reflect off the wind-
shield, obstructing the driver’s view and leading to an accident, resulting in death or
serious injury.

GS350_200t_GS F_OM_OM30F83E_(EE)
WARNING
■When fixing the flat tire
●Stop your vehicle in a safe and flat area.
●Do not touch the wheels or the area around the brakes immediately after the vehicle
has been driven.
After the vehicle has been driven, the wheels and the area around the brakes may be
extremely hot. Touching these areas with hands, feet or other bo dy parts may result in
burns.
●Connect the valve and hose securely with the tire installed on the vehicle.
●If the hose is not properly connected to the valve, air leakage may occur or sealant
may be sprayed out.
●If the hose comes off the valve while inflating the tire, there is a risk that the hose will
move abruptly due to air pressure.
●After inflation of the tire has completed, the sealant may splatter when the hose is dis-
connected or some air is let out of the tire.
●Follow the operation procedure to repair the tire. If the procedures not followed, the
sealant may spray out.
●Keep back from the tire while it is being repaired, as there is a chance of it bursting
while the repair operation is being performe d. If you notice any cracks or deforma-
tion of the tire, turn off the compressor switch and stop the repair operation immedi-
ately.
●The repair kit may overheat if operated for a long period of ti me. Do not operate the
repair kit continuously for more than 35 minutes.
●Parts of the repair kit become hot during op eration. Be careful handling the repair kit
during and after operation. Do not touch the metal part connecting the bottle and the
compressor. It will be extremely hot.
●Do not attach the vehicle speed warning sticker to an area other than the one indi-
cated. If the sticker is attached to an area where an SRS airbag is located, such as the
pad of the steering wheel, it may prevent the SRS air bag from operating properly.
■Driving to spread the liquid sealant evenly
●Drive the vehicle carefully at a low speed. Be especially careful when turning and cor-
nering.
●If the vehicle does not drive straight or you feel a pull through the steering wheel, stop
the vehicle and check the following:
