●The daytime running lights illuminate 
using the same lights as the parking lights 
and illuminate brighter than the parking 
lights.
●To make your vehicle more visible to 
other drivers during daytime driving, the 
daytime running lights turn on automati-
cally when all of the following conditions 
are met. (The daytime running lights are 
not designed for use at night.)
• The engine is running 
• The parking brake is released
• The headlight switch  is in the   (Can-
ada only),   or

The daytime running lights remain on after 
they illuminate, even if the parking brake is 
set again.
●For the U.S.A.: Daytime running lights 
can be turned off by operating the head-
light switch to   position.
●Compared to turning on the headlights, 
the daytime running light system offers 
greater durability and consumes less 
electricity, so it can help improve fuel 
economy.

■CFRP (Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plas-
tic) parts (if equipped)
CFRP is used for the scuff plates. When 
cleaning the scuff plates, remove dirt using 
a water-dampened soft  cloth or synthetic 
chamois, and then wipe the surface with a 
dry soft cloth to remove any remaining 
moisture.
WARNING
■Water in the vehicle
●LC500: Do not splash or spill liquid in 
the vehicle.
Doing so may cause electrical compo-
nents etc. to malfunction or catch fire.
LC500h: Do not splash or spill liquid 
in the vehicle, such as on the floor, on 
the rear seats, in the hybrid battery 
(traction battery) air vents, and in the 
trunk. ( P.67)
Doing so may cause the hybrid battery, 
electrical components, etc. to mal-
function or catch fire.
●Do not get any of the SRS components 
or wiring in the vehicle interior wet. 
(  P.28)
An electrical malfunction may cause 
the airbags to deploy or not function 
properly, resulting in death or serious 
injury.
■Cleaning the interior (especially 
instrument panel)
Do not use polish wax or polish cleaner. 
The instrument panel may reflect off the 
windshield, obstructing the driver’s view 
and leading to an accident, resulting in 
death or serious injury.
NOTICE

●Do not use the following types of 
detergent, as they may discolor the 
vehicle interior or cause streaks or 
damage to painted surfaces:
• Non-seat portions: Organic sub- stances such as benzene or gasoline, 
alkaline or acidic solutions, dye, and 
bleach

●Do not use polish wax or polish 
cleaner. The instrument panel’s or 
other interior part’s painted surface 
may be damaged.

sunlight for extended periods of time. 
Park the vehicle in the shade, espe-
cially during summer.
●Do not place items made of vinyl, plas-
tic, or containing wax on the uphol-
stery, as they may stick to the leather 
surface if the vehicle interior heats up 
significantly.
■Water on the floor
Do not wash the vehicle floor with water.
Vehicle systems such as the audio system 
may be damaged if water comes into 
contact with electrical components such 
as the audio system above or under the 
floor of the vehicle. Water may also
