Please note that this manual applies to
all models and explains all equipment,
including options. Therefore, you may
find some explanations for equipment
not installed on your vehicle.
All specifications provided in this man-
ual are current at the time of printing.
However, because of the Lexus policy
of continual product improvement, we
reserve the right to make changes at
any time without notice.
Depending on specifications, the vehi-
cle shown in the illustrations may differ
from your vehicle in terms of color and
equipment.
Both genuine Lexus and a wide variety
of other spare parts and accessories
for Lexus vehicles are currently avail-
able on the market. Should it be deter-
mined that any of the genuine Lexus
parts or accessories supplied with the
vehicle need to be replaced, Lexus
recommends that genuine Lexus parts
or accessories, be used to replace
them. Other parts or accessories of
matching quality can also be used.
Lexus cannot accept any liability or
guarantee spare parts and accessories
which are not genuine Lexus products,
nor for replacement or installation
involving such parts. In addition, dam-
age or performance problems result-
ing from the use of non-genuine Lexus
spare parts or accessories may not be
covered under warranty.
The installation of an RF-transmitter
system in your vehicle could affect
electronic systems such as:
 Hybrid system
 Multiport fuel injection sys-
tem/sequential multiport fuel injec-
tion system
 Lexus Safety System+
 Cruise control system
 Anti-lock brake system
 Vehicle dynamics integrated man-
agement
 SRS airbag system
 Seat belt pretensioner system
Be sure to check with any authorized
Lexus retailer or Lexus authorized

cables on the hybrid vehicles emit
approximately the same amount of
electromagnetic waves as the conven-
tional gasoline powered vehicles or
home electronic appliances despite of
their electromagnetic shielding.
LC500h: Unwanted noise may occur
in the reception of the radio frequency
transmitter (RF-transmitter).
The SRS airbag and seat belt preten-
sioner devices in your Lexus contain
explosive chemicals. If the vehicle is
scrapped with the airbags and seat belt
pretensioners left as they are, this may
cause an accident such as fire. Be sure
to have the systems of the SRS airbag
and seat belt pretensioner removed
and disposed of by a qualified service
shop or by any authorized Lexus
retailer or Lexus authorized repairer,
or any reliable repairer before you
scrap your vehicle.
For Russia and Kazakhstan:
In accordance with a Technical regula-
tion of the Customs Union “On safety
of wheeled vehicles” TR CU 018/2011
(requirements to the vehicles in rela-
tion to their internal noise), this vehicle
shall not be utilized for public purpose
(for example, taxi).

WARNING
■General precautions while driving
Driving under the influence: Never drive
your vehicle when under the influence of alcohol or drugs that have impaired your ability to operate your vehicle. Alcohol
and certain drugs delay reaction time, impair judgment and reduce coordina-tion, which could lead to an accident that
could result in death or serious injury.
Defensive driving: Always drive defen-
sively. Anticipate mistakes that other drivers or pedestrians might make and be ready to avoid accidents.
Driver distraction: Always give your full attention to driving. Anything that dis-
tracts the driver, such as adjusting con- trols, talking on a cellular phone or reading can result in a collision with
resulting death or serious injury to you, your occupants or others.
■General precaution regarding chil-dren’s safety
Never leave children unattended in the vehicle, and never allow children to have
or use the key.
Children may be able to start the vehicle
or shift the vehicle into neutral. There is also a danger that children may injure themselves by playing with the windows
or other features of the vehicle. In addi- tion, heat build-up or extremely cold temperatures inside the vehicle can be
fatal to children.

Adjust the angle of the seatback so
that you are sitting straight up and
so that you do not have to lean for-
ward to steer. ( P.138)
Adjust the seat so that you can
depress the pedals fully and so that
your arms bend slightly at the
elbow when gripping the steering
wheel. ( P.138)
Lock the head restraint in place
with the center of the head restraint
closest to the top of your ears.
( P.143)

( P.29)
Make sure that all occupants are wear-
ing their seat belts before driving the

ate for the child until the child becomes
large enough to properly wear the
vehicle’s seat belt. ( P.48)

Correct driving posture
WARNING
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.
A

D
●Do not adjust the position of the driver’s seat while driving.
Doing so could cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle.
●Do not place a cushion between the driver or passenger and the seatback.
A cushion may prevent correct pos- ture from being achieved, and reduce the effectiveness of the seat belt and
head restraint.
●Do not place anything under the front seats.Objects placed under the front seats
may become jammed in the seat tracks and stop the seat from locking in place. This may lead to an accident
and the adjustment mechanism may also be damaged.
●Always observe the legal speed limit when driving on public roads.
●When driving over long distances, take
regular breaks before you start to feel tired. Also, if you feel tired or sleepy while
driving, do not force yourself to con- tinue driving and take a break immedi-
ately.

Adjusting the mirrorsSeat belts
Make sure that all occupants are

ing the vehicle.
WARNING
Observe the following precautions to reduce the risk of injury in the event of sudden braking, sudden swerving or an
accident. Failure to do so may cause death or seri-ous injury.
■Wearing a seat belt
●Ensure that all passengers wear a seat belt.
●Always wear a seat belt properly.
●Each seat belt should be used by one
person only. Do not use a seat belt for more than one person at once, includ-ing children.
●Lexus recommends that children be
seated in the rear seat and always use a seat belt and/or an appropriate child restraint system.
●To achieve a proper seating position,
do not recline the seat more than nec- essary. The seat belt is most effective when the occupants are sitting up
straight and well back in the seats.
●Do not wear the shoulder belt under your arm.
●Always wear your seat belt low and snug across your hips.
