WARNING
■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 con- nect 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 Answer- ing Point (PSAP) and thus will not be able to make emergency calls and
report to the emergency departments even though the system tries to con-nect 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, indicator lights, microphone, speaker, DCM,
antenna, or any wires connecting the equipment.) has an abnormality, is damaged or broken, the Emergency
Call cannot be made.
• During the Emergency Call, the sys-
tem makes repeated attempts to con- nect to the Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP). However, if it cannot
connect to the Public Safety Answer- ing 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 con-necting. 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.

for your safety.
●In case of an emergency, make lives the top priority.
●If you smell anything burning or another unusual 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 synchronized 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 auto-
matically. The system may also not make automatic emergency calls even if the airbag has been inflated. If any of
these should occur, please report to the Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) by operating the “SOS” but-
ton.
●For safety, do not make the Emergency Call while driving.
Making calls during driving may cause mishandling of th e steering wheel, which may lead to unexpected acci-
dents. Stop the vehicle and confirm the safety of the area before making the Emer-
gency Call.
●When changing fuses, please use fuses that correspond to the described stan-dard.
If you use fuses other than those described, it may cause ignition or smoke in the circuit 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.

6-1.Maintenance and care
Working from top to bottom, liber-
ally apply water to the vehicle body,
wheel wells and underside of the
vehicle to remove any dirt and dust.
 Wash the vehicle body using a
sponge or soft cloth, such as a
chamois.
 For hard-to-remove marks, use car
wash soap and rinse thoroughly with
water.
 Wipe away any water.
 Wax the vehicle when the water-
proof coating deteriorates.
If water does not bead on a clean surface,
apply wax when the vehicle body is cool.
■CFRP (Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plas- tic) part (if equipped)
●As the CFRP parts may change color if they are exposed to ultraviolet rays for
extended periods of time, Lexus recom- mends that your vehicle be stored in a place where it will not be exposed to
direct sunlight.
●Do not use wax that contains abrasives.
●Do not use automatic car washes as they may scratch the CFRP parts and damage
the paint.
■Self-restoring coat*
The vehicle body has a self-restoring coat-
ing that is resistant to small surface scratches caused in a car wash etc.
●The coating lasts for 5 to 8 years from when the vehicle is delivered from the plant.
●The restoration time differs depending on the depth of the scratch and outside tem-
perature. The restoration time may become shorter when the coating is warmed by
applying warm water.
●Deep scratches caused by keys, coins,
etc. cannot be restored.
●Do not use wax that contains abrasives.
*: CFRP parts (if equipped) do not have a
self-restoring coat.
■Cleaning the areas with metal accents
Do not use baking soda (sodium bicarbon-
ate) and wax that contains abrasives.
■Automatic car washes (vehicles without CFRP parts)
●Fold the mirrors before washing the vehi-cle. Start washing from the front of the vehicle. Make sure to extend the mirrors
before driving.
●Wash the vehicle with the active rear wing retracted. If the vehicle is washed with the active rear wing raised, depend-
ing on the type of automatic car wash, the brushes of the automatic car wash may become stuck on the active rear wing. In
this case, the active rear wing may not be washed very well or may even be scratched or damaged.
●Brushes used in automatic car washes may scratch the vehicle body and dam-
age the paint.
■High pressure car washes
●Do not allow the nozzles of the car wash
to come within close proximity of the win- dows.
●Before using the car wash, check that the fuel filler door on your vehicle is closed properly.
Cleaning and pr otecting the
