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.
Approximately five hours after the 
engine is turned off, you may hear 
sound coming from under the vehicle 
for several minutes. This is the sound of 
a fuel evaporation leakage check and, 
it does not indicate a malfunction.
A wide variety of non-genuine spare 
parts and accessories for Lexus vehi-
cles are currently available in the mar-
ket. You should know that Toyota does 
not warrant these products and is not 
responsible for their performance,  repair, or replacement, or for any dam-
age they may cause to, or adverse 
effect they may have on, your Lexus 
vehicle.
This vehicle should not be modified 
with non-genuine Lexus products. 
Modification with non-genuine Lexus 
products could affect its performance, 
safety or durability, and may even vio-
late governmental regulations. In addi-
tion, damage or performance 
problems resulting from the modifica-
tion may not be covered under war-
ranty.
The installation of a mobile two-way 
radio system in your vehicle could 
affect electronic systems such as:
Multiport fuel injection sys-
tem/sequential multiport fuel injec-
tion system
 Lexus Safety System+2.0
 Anti-lock brake system
 SRS airbag system
 Seat belt pretensioner system
Be sure to check with your Lexus 
dealer for precautionary measures or 
special instructions regarding installa-
tion of a mobile two-way radio system.
The vehicle is equipped with sophisti-
cated computers that will record cer-
tain data, such as:
For your information
Main Owner’s Manual
Noise from under vehicle after 
turning off the engine
Accessories, spare parts and 
modification of your Lexus
Installation of a mobile two-way 
radio system
Vehicle data recording 

8
record data related to vehicle dynam-
ics and safety systems for a short 
period of time, typically 30 seconds or 
less.
The EDR in this vehicle is designed to 
record such data as:
How various systems in your vehicle 
were operating;
 Whether or not the driver and pas-
senger safety belts were buck-
led/fastened;
 How far (if at all) the driver was 
depressing the accelerator and/or 
brake pedal; and,
 How fast the vehicle was traveling.
These data can help provide a better 
understanding of the circumstances in 
which crashes and injuries occur.
NOTE: EDR data are recorded by your 
vehicle only if a non-trivial crash situa-
tion occurs; no data are recorded by 
the EDR under normal driving condi-
tions and no personal data (e.g., name, 
gender, age, and crash location) are 
recorded. However, other parties, such 
as law enforcement, could combine the 
EDR data with the type of personally 
identifying data routinely acquired 
during a crash investigation.
To read data recorded by an EDR, spe-
cial equipment is  required, and access 
to the vehicle or the EDR is needed. In 
addition to the vehicle manufacturer, 
other parties, such as law enforcement, 
that have the special equipment, can 
read the information if they have 
access to the vehicle or the EDR. 
Disclosure of the EDR data
Lexus will not disclose  the data recorded in 
an EDR to a third party except when:
• An agreement from the vehicle’s owner  (or the lessee for a leased vehicle) is 
obtained
• In response to an official request by the  police, a court of law or a government 
agency
• For use by Lexus in a lawsuit
However, if necessary, Lexus may:
• Use the data for research on vehicle  safety performance
• Disclose the data to a third party for  research purposes without disclosing 
information about the specific vehicle or 
vehicle owner
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 not deployed, 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 your Lexus dealer before 
you scrap your vehicle.
Special handling may apply, See 
www.dtsc.ca.gov/ hazardouswaste/
perchlorate.
Your vehicle has components that may 
contain perchlorate. These compo-
nents may include airbag, seat belt pre-

For safety and security
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.107)
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.107)
Lock the head restraint in place 
with the center of the head restraint 
closest to the top of your ears. 
( P.111)
Wear the seat belt correctly. 
( P.25) Make sure that all occupants are wear-
ing their seat belts before driving the 
vehicle. (
P.25) 
Use a child restraint system appropri-
ate for the child until the child becomes 
large enough to properly wear the 
vehicle’s seat belt. ( P.42)
Make sure that you can see backward 
clearly by adjusting the inside and out-
side rear view mirrors properly. 
( P.114, 115)
For safe driving
For safe driving, adjust the seat and 
mirror to an appropriate position 
before driving.
Correct driving posture
WARNING
Observe the following precautions. 
Failure to do so may result in death or 
serious injury.
A
B
C
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.
