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 engine oil capacity is a reference quantity to be used when changing the 
engine oil. Warm up  and turn off the 
engine, wait more than 5 minutes, and 
check the oil level on the dipstick.
■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.

Vehicle specifications
■Traction AA, A, B, C
The traction grades, from highest to 
lowest, are AA, A, B and C, and they 
represent the tire’s  ability to stop on 
wet pavement as measured under con-
trolled conditions on  specified govern-
ment test surfaces of asphalt and 
concrete.
A tire marked C may have poor traction 
performance.
Warning: The traction grade assigned to 
this tire is based on braking (straight 
ahead) traction tests and does not include 
cornering (turning) traction.
■Temperature A, B, C
The temperature grades are A (the 
highest), B, and C, representing the 
tire’s resistance to the generation of 
heat and its ability to dissipate heat  when tested under controlled condi-
tions on a specified indoor laboratory 
test wheel.
Sustained high temperature can cause the 
material of the tire to degenerate and 
reduce tire life, and excessive temperature 
can lead to sudd
en tire failure.
Grade C corresponds to  a level of perfor-
mance which all passenger car tires must 
meet under the Fede ral Motor Vehicle 
Safety Standard No. 109.
Grades B and A represent higher levels of 
performance on the laboratory test wheel 
than the minimum required by law.
Warning: The temperature grades of a tire 
assume that it is properly inflated and not 
overloaded.
Excessive speed, unde rinflation, or exces-
sive loading, either separately or in combi-
nation, can cause heat buildup and 
possible tire failure.
