3507-2. Steps to take in an emergency
LC500_LC500h_OM_OM11405U_(U)
Take your vehicle to the nearest Lexus
dealer or authorized tire dealer as
soon as possible if any tire goes flat.
The vehicle can be driven for a maximum
of 100 miles (160 km) at a speed below 50
mph (80 km/h) after the tire pressure
warning light comes on. ( P.340)
A run-flat tire has a mark on the
side wall.
■In some condition (such as at high tem-
peratures)
You cannot continue driving for up to 100
miles (160 km).
■For the detailed information on run-flat
tires
See the tire warranty booklet.
If you have a flat tire
Your vehicle is not equipped with a
spare tire, but instead you can con-
tinue driving the vehicle with run-
flat tires even if any tire goes flat.
In this case, slow down and drive
with extra caution.
Run-flat tires
NOTICE
■When replacing the tires
When removing or fitting the wheels,
tires or the tire pr essure warning valve
and transmitter, contact your Lexus
dealer as the tire pressure warning valve
and transmitter may be damaged if not
handled correctly.
■When driving over bumps
If a vehicle has a flat tire, the vehicle
height will be lower than usual. Ensure
that nothing strikes the bottom of the
vehicle.
■To avoid damaging the tire pressure
warning valves and transmitters
When a tire is repaired with liquid seal-
ants, the tire pressure warning valve and
transmitter may not operate properly. If a
liquid sealant is used , contact your Lexus
dealer or other qualified service shop as
soon as possible. Make sure to replace
the tire pressure warning valve and trans-
mitter when replacing the tire. ( P.305)

1Stop the vehicle in a safe place and
turn off the air conditioning system,
and then stop the engine.
2 If you see steam:
Carefully lift the hood after the
steam subsides.
If you do not see steam:
Carefully lift the hood.
3 After the engine has cooled down
sufficiently, inspect the hoses and radiator core (radiator) for any
leaks.
Radiator
Cooling fan
If a large amount of coolant leaks, immedi-
ately contact your Lexus dealer.
4
The coolant level is satisfactory if it
is between the “F” and “L” lines on
the reservoir.
Reservoir
“F”
“L”
Coolant inlet cap
5 Add coolant if necessary.
Water can be used in an emergency if
coolant is unavailable.
If your vehicle overheats
(LC500)
The following may indicate that
your vehicle is overheating.
The engine coolant temperature
gauge ( P.74) is in the red zone
or a loss of engine power is expe-
rienced. (For example, the vehicle
speed does not increase.)
“Engine Coolant Temp High” is
shown on the multi-information
display.
Steam comes out from under the
hood.

conditioning system on to check
that the radiator cooling fan oper-
ates and to check for coolant leaks
from the radiator or hoses.
The fan operates when the air conditioning
system is turned on immediately after a
cold start. Confirm that the fan is operating
by checking the fan sound and air flow. If it
is difficult to check these, turn the air con-
ditioning system on and off repeatedly.
(The fan may not operate in freezing tem-
peratures.)
7 If the fan is not operating:
Stop the engine immediately and
contact your Lexus dealer.
If the fan is operating:
Have the vehicle inspected at the
nearest Lexus dealer.
■When adding coolant
Add coolant in accordance with the follow-
ing procedure.
1 Remove the service cover.
2 Remove the engine cover. 3
Remove the caps and .
4 Add coolant through the inlet of the cap
up to the “F” line , and then
replace the cap .
5 Add coolant through the inlet of the cap
until it is full, and then replace the
cap .WARNING
■When inspecting under the hood of
your vehicle
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in serious
injury such as burns.
●If steam is seen coming from under the
hood, do not open the hood until the
steam has subsided. The engine com-
partment may be very hot.

If the engine coolant temperature
gauge enters the red zone or
“Engine Coolant Temp High Stop in
a Safe Place See Owner’s Manual”
is shown on the multi-information
display
1 Stop the vehicle in a safe place and
turn off the air conditioning system,
and then stop the hybrid system.
2 If you see steam:
Carefully lift the hood after the
steam subsides.
If you do not see steam:
Carefully lift the hood.
WARNING
●Keep hands and clothing (especially a
tie, a scarf or a muffler) away from the
fan and belts. Failure to do so may
cause the hands or clothing to be
caught, resulting in serious injury.
●While the engine and radiator are hot,
do not loosen or remove the coolant
reservoir cap.
High temperature steam or coolant
could spray out.
NOTICE
■When adding engine coolant
Add coolant slowly after the engine has
cooled down sufficiently. Adding cool
coolant to a hot engine too quickly can
cause damage to the engine.
■To prevent damage to the cooling sys-
tem
Observe the following precautions:
●Avoid contaminating the coolant with
foreign matter (such as sand or dust
etc.).
●Do not use any coolant additive.
If your vehicle overheats
(LC500h)
The following may indicate that
your vehicle is overheating.
The engine coolant temperature
gauge ( P.74) is in the red zone
or a loss of hybrid system power is
experienced. (For example, the
vehicle speed does not increase.)
“Engine Coolant Temp High Stop
in a Safe Place See Owner’s
Manual” or “Hybrid System
