LS600h/LS600hL_EE(OM50G20E)
CAUTION
■Using the trunk
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may cause parts of the body to be caught, resulting in serious
injury.
●Remove any heavy loads, such as snow and ice, from the trunk lid before opening
it. Failure to do so may cause the trunk lid to suddenly shut again after it is opened.
●When opening or closing the trunk lid, thoroughly check to make sure the sur-
rounding area is safe.
●If anyone is in the vicinity, make sure they are safe and let them know that the
trunk is about to open or close.
●Use caution when opening or closing the trunk lid in windy weather as it may
move abruptly in strong wind.
●Do not attach any accessories other than genuine Lexus parts to the trunk lid.
Such additional weight on the trunk lid may cause the lid to suddenly shut again
after it is opened.
●The trunk lid may suddenly shut if it is not
opened fully. It is more difficult to open or
close the trunk lid on an incline than on a
level surface, so beware of the trunk lid
unexpectedly opening or closing by itself.
Make sure that the trunk lid is fully open
and secure before using the trunk.
●When closing the trunk lid, take extra care
to prevent your fingers etc. from being
caught.
●When closing the trunk lid, make sure to
press it lightly on its outer surface. If the
trunk handle is used to fully close the trunk
lid, it may result in hands or arms being
caught.

CAUTION
■Head restraint precautions
Observe the following precautions regarding the head restraints. Failure to do so
may result in death or serious injury.
●Use the head restraints designed for each respective seat.
●Adjust the head restraints to the correct position at all times.
●Manual type: After adjusting the head restraints, push down on them and make
sure they are locked in position.
●Do not drive with the head restraints removed.
■The active head restraint on the front passenger seat (if equipped)
Do not place anything, such as a cushion, on the front passenger’s seat.
Doing so will disperse the passenger’s weight, which may prevents the sensor from
detecting the passenger’s weight properly. As a result, the active head restraint
may not activate in the event of an accident.
■Active head restraint precautions (if equipped)
●Do not put head restraint covers.
●For removal, installation, modification, disassembly or disposal of the active head
restraints, contact at any authorized Lexus dealer or repairer, or another duly
qualified and equipped professional.
Inappropriate handling of the active head restraints may prevent them from oper-
ating properly during an accident.
3364-5. Using the driving support systems
LS600h/LS600hL_EE(OM50G20E)
The vehicle height is maintained at the selected level regardless of the
number of occupants and luggage weight.
Turns high mode on/off.
When on, the “HEIGHT HIGH” indi-
cator will come on.
■Operating sound of the air suspension compressor
When the vehicle height is lowered, such as when entering or loading the vehicle, or
high mode is selected, the compressor may operate and a whirring sound may be
heard. This does not indicate a malfunction.
Electronically modul ated air suspension
By independently controlling the damping force of the shock absorbers
for each of the 4 wheels according to the road and driving conditions
and the selected driving mode, this system achieves ride comfort with
superior steering stability, an d ensures good vehicle posture.
In addition, vehicle height can be se lected according to road and driv-
ing conditions.

Maintenance and care
LS600h/LS600hL_EE(OM50G20E)
■Effects of incorrect tire inflation pressure
Driving with incorrect tire inflation pressure may result in the following:
●Reduced fuel economy
●Reduced driving comfort and poor handling
●Reduced tire life due to wear
●Reduced safety
●Damage to the drive train
If a tire needs frequent inflating, have it checked by any authorized Lexus dealer or
repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional.
■Instructions for checking tire inflation pressure
When checking tire inflation pressure, observe the following:
●Check only when the tires are cold.
If your vehicle has been parked for at least 3 hours or has not been driven for more
than 1.5 km or 1 mile, you will get an accurate cold tire inflation pressure reading.
●Always use a tire pressure gauge.
It is difficult to judge if a tire is properly inflated based only on its appearance.
●It is normal for the tire inflation pressure to be higher after driving as heat is gener-
ated in the tire. Do not reduce tire inflation pressure after driving.
●Passengers and luggage weight should be placed so that the vehicle is balanced.
Tire inflation pressure
Make sure to maintain proper tire in flation pressure. Tire inflation pres-
sure should be checked at least once per month. However, Lexus rec-
ommends that tire inflation pr essure be checked once every two
weeks. ( P. 630)

Maintenance and care
LS600h/LS600hL_EE(OM50G20E)
When replacing wheels, care should be taken to ensure that they are
equivalent to those removed in load capacity, diameter, rim width and
inset*.
Replacement wheels are available at any authorized Lexus dealer or
repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional.
*: Conventionally referred to as “offset”.
Lexus does not recommend using the following:
●Wheels of different sizes or types
●Used wheels
●Bent wheels that have been straightened
●Use only Lexus wheel nuts and wheel nut wrenches designed for use
with your aluminum wheels.
●When rotating, repairing or changing your tires, check that the wheel
nuts are still tight after driving 1600 km (1000 miles).
●Be careful not to damage the aluminum wheels when using tire chains.
●Use only Lexus genuine balance weights or equivalent and a plastic or
rubber hammer when balancing your wheels.
Wheels
If a wheel is bent, cracked or heavily corroded, it should be replaced.
Otherwise, the tire may separate from the wheel or cause a loss of han-
dling control.
