WARNING
■The information display at low tem-
peratures
Allow the interior of the vehicle to warm 
up before using the liquid crystal infor-
mation display. At  extremely low tem-
peratures, the in formation display 
monitor may respond slowly, and display 
changes may be delayed.
For example, there is a lag between the 
driver’s shifting and the new gear number 
appearing on the display. This lag could 
cause the driver to downshift again, 
causing rapid and excessive engine brak-
ing and possibly an accident resulting in 
death or injury.
NOTICE
■To prevent damage to the engine and 
its components
●Do not let the indicator needle of the 
tachometer enter the red zone, which 
indicates the maximum engine speed.
●The engine may be overheating if the 
engine coolant temperature gauge is 
in the red zone (H).  In this case, imme-
diately stop the vehicle in a safe place, 
and check the engine after it has 
cooled completely. ( P.377)

the brake pedal should be depressed 
more firmly than usual. Also, the brak-
ing distance will increase. Have your 
brakes fixed immediately.
●Do not pump the brake pedal if the 
engine stalls.
Each push on the brake pedal uses up 
the reserve for the power-assisted 
brakes.
●The brake system consists of 2 or more 
individual hydraulic systems; if one of 
the systems fails, the other(s) will still 
operate. In this case, the brake pedal 
should be depressed more firmly than 
usual and the braking distance will 
increase. Have your brakes fixed 
immediately.
NOTICE
■When driving the vehicle
●Do not depress the accelerator and 
brake pedals at the same time while 
driving, as this may restrain the engine 
output.

pedals at the same time to hold the 
vehicle on a hill.
■Avoiding damage to vehicle parts
●Do not turn the steering wheel fully in 
either direction and hold it there for an 
extended period of time. 
Doing so may damage the power 
steering motor.
●When driving over bumps in the road, 
drive as slowly as possible to avoid 
damaging the wheels, underside of the 
vehicle, etc.
■If you get a flat tire while driving
A flat or damaged tire may cause the fol-
lowing situations. Hold the steering 
wheel firmly and gradually depress the 
brake pedal to slow down the vehicle.

■Engine oil selection
“Toyota Genuine Motor Oil” is used in 
your Lexus vehicle. Use Lexus 
approved “Toyota Genuine Motor Oil” 
or equivalent to satisfy the following 
grade and viscosity.
Oil grade: ILSAC GF-5 multigrade 
engine oil
Recommended viscosity: SAE 0W-20
SAE 0W-20 is the best choice for 
good fuel economy and good starting 
in cold weather.
If SAE 0W-20 is not available, SAE 
5W-20 oil may be used. However, it 
must be replaced with SAE 0W-20 at 
the next oil change.
Outside temperature Oil viscosity (0W-20 is explained here 
as an example):
• The 0W in 0W-20 indicates the 
characteristic of the oil which allows 
cold startability. Oils with a lower 
value before the W allow for easier 
starting of the engine in cold 
weather.
• The 20 in 0W-20 indicates the vis- cosity characteristic of the oil when 
the oil is at high temperature. An oil 
with a higher viscosity (one with a 
higher value) may be better suited if 
the vehicle is operated at high 
speeds, or under extreme load con-
ditions.
How to read oil container label:
The International Lubricant Specifica-
tion Advisory Committee (ILSAC) 
Certification Mark is added to some oil 
containers to help you select the oil you 
should use.
