When trouble arises
WARNING
As an added safety feature, your vehicle
has been equipped with a tire pressure
monitoring system (TPMS-tire pressure
warning system) that illuminates a low
tire pressure telltale (tire pressure warn-
ing light) when one or more of your tires
is significantly under-inflated. Accord-
ingly, when the low tire pressure telltale
(tire pressure warnin g light) illuminates,
you should stop and check your tires as
soon as possible, and inflate them to the
proper pressure. Driving on a signifi-
cantly under-inflated tire causes the tire
to overheat and can lead to tire failure.
Under-inflation also reduces fuel effi-
ciency and tire tread life, and may affect
the vehicle’s handling and stopping abil-
ity.
Please note that the TPMS (tire pressure
warning system) is not a substitute for
proper tire maintenance, and it is the
driver’s responsibility to maintain correct
tire pressure, even if under-inflation has
not reached the level to trigger illumina-
tion of the TPMS low tire pressure telltale
(tire pressure warning light).
Your vehicle has also been equipped with
a TPMS (tire pressure warning system)
malfunction indicator to indicate when
the system is not operating properly. The
TPMS (tire pressure warning system)
malfunction indicator is combined with
the low tire pressure telltale (tire pres-
sure warning light). When the system
detects a malfunction, the telltale will
flash for approximately one minute and
then remain continuously illuminated.
This sequence will continue upon subse-
quent vehicle start-ups as long as the
malfunction exists. When the malfunction
indicator is illuminated, the system may
not be able to detect or signal low tire
pressure as intended.TPMS (tire pressure warning system)
malfunctions may occur for a variety of
reasons, including the installation of
replacement or alternate tires or wheels
on the vehicle that prevent the TPMS
(tire pressure warning system) from func-
tioning properly. Always check the
TPMS (tire pressure warning system)
malfunction telltale after replacing one
or more tires or wheels on your vehicle to
ensure that the replacement or alternate
tires and wheels allow the TPMS (tire
pressure warning system) to continue to
function properly.
NOTICE
■To ensure the tire pressure warning
system operates properly
Do not install tires with different specifi-
cations or makers, as the tire pressure
warning system may not operate prop-
erly.

low speed for an extended period, such
as in heavy traffic.
■When the battery is removed or dis-
charged
●Information stored in the ECU is cleared.
When the battery is depleted, have the
vehicle inspected at your Lexus dealer.
●Some systems may require initialization.
( P.415)
■When removing the battery terminals
When the battery terminals are removed,
the information stored in the ECU is
cleared. Before removi ng the battery termi-
nals, contact your Lexus dealer.
■Charging the battery
The electricity stored in the battery will dis-
charge gradually even when the vehicle is
not in use, due to natural discharge and the
draining effects of certain electrical appli-
ances. If the vehicle is left for a long time,
the battery may discharge, and the engine
may be unable to start. (The battery
recharges automatically during driving.)
■When recharging or replacing the bat-
tery
●In some cases, it may not be possible to
unlock the doors using the smart access
system with push-button start when the
battery is discharged. Use the wireless
remote control or the mechanical key to
lock or unlock the doors.
●The engine may not start on the first
attempt after the battery has recharged
but will start normally after the second
attempt. This is not a malfunction.
●The engine switch mode is memorized by
the vehicle. When the battery is recon-
nected, the system will return to the
mode it was in before the battery was dis-
charged. Before di sconnecting the bat-
tery, turn the engine switch off.
If you are unsure what mode the engine
switch was in befo re the battery dis-
charged, be especially careful when
reconnecting the battery.
■When replacing the battery
●Use a battery that conforms to European
regulations.
●Use a battery that the case size is same as
the previous one (LN3), 20 hour rate
capacity (20HR) is equivalent (70Ah) or
greater, and performance rating (CCA)
is equivalent (592A) or greater.
• If the sizes differ, the battery cannot be properly secured.
• Battery performance may decrease and the engine may not be able to start.
• If the 20 hour rate capacity is low, even if
the time period where the vehicle is not
used is a short time, the battery may dis-
charge and engine may not be able to
start.
For details, consult your Lexus dealer.
WARNING
■When removing the battery terminals
Always remove the negative (-) terminal
first. If the positive (+) terminal contacts
any metal in the surrounding area when
the positive (+) terminal is removed, a
spark may occur, leading to a fire in addi-
tion to electrical shocks and death or
serious injury.
■Avoiding battery fires or explosions
Observe the following precautions to
prevent accidentally igniting the flamma-
ble gas that may be emitted from the bat-
tery:
●Make sure each jumper cable is con-
nected to the correct terminal and that
it is not unintentiona lly in contact with
any other than the intended terminal.
●Do not allow the other end of the
jumper cable connected to the “+” ter-
minal to come into contact with any
other parts or metal surfaces in the
area, such as brackets or unpainted
metal.
●Do not allow the + and - clamps of the
jumper cables to come into contact
with each other.
●Do not smoke, use matches, cigarette
lighters or allow open flame near the
battery.

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
inlet cap or 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 the vehicle becomes stuck
Carry out the following proce-
dures if the tires spin or the vehicle
becomes stuck in mud, dirt or snow:

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.

AVERTISSEMENT
●Ne fixez et n’appuyez rien sur des
zones telles que la planche de bord, le
tampon de volant ou encore la partie
inférieure du tableau de bord.
Ces objets peuvent se transformer en
projectiles lorsque les coussins gonfla-
bles SRS du conducteur, du passager
avant et de protection des genoux se
déploient.
●Ne fixez rien sur des zones telles que
les portières, le pare-brise, les glaces
latérales, les montants avant ou
arrière, le brancard de pavillon et la
poignée de maintien.
●N’accrochez pas de cintres ni d’autres
objets rigides sur les crochets porte-
vêtements. Tous ces objets pourraient
se transformer en projectiles et vous
occasionner des blessures graves,
voire mortelles, en cas de déploiement
des coussins gonflables SRS en rideau.
●Si un recouvrement de vinyle est placé
sur la zone de déploiement du coussin
gonflable SRS de protection des
genoux, veillez à le retirer.
●N’utilisez pas d’accessoires recou-
vrant les parties du siège où les couss-
ins gonflables SRS latéraux se
déploient, car ces accessoires pour-
raient entraver le déploiement des
coussins gonflables SRS. De tels
accessoires peuvent empêcher les
coussins gonflables latéraux de se
déployer correctement, rendre le sys-
tème inopérant ou provoquer acci-
dentellement le déploiement des
coussins gonflables latéraux, occa-
sionnant des blessures graves, voire
mortelles.
●Ne frappez pas et n’appliquez pas une
pression importante à l’emplacement
des portières avant ou des com-
posants des coussins gonflables SRS.
Cela peut provoquer un mauvais
fonctionnement des coussins gonfla-
bles SRS.
●Ne touchez à aucun composant des
coussins gonflables SRS immédiate-
ment après leur déploiement (gon-
flage), car ils pourraient être chauds.
●Si vous avez de la difficulté à respirer
après le déploiement des coussins
gonflables SRS, ouvrez une portière
ou une glace pour laisser entrer l’air
frais, ou quittez le véhicule si vous pou-
vez le faire en toute sécurité. Dès que
possible, nettoyez tous les résidus afin
d’éviter les irritations cutanées.
●Si les emplacements de stockage des
coussins gonflables SRS, tels que le
tampon de volant et les garnitures des
montants avant et arrière, sont endom-
magés ou fissurés, faites-les remplacer
par votre concessionnaire Lexus.
●Ne placez aucun objet, par exemple
un coussin, sur le siège du passager
avant. Cela disperse rait le poids du
passager, ce qui empêcherait le cap-
teur de le détecter correctement. Cela
pourrait empêcher le déploiement des
coussins gonflables SRS du passager
avant en cas de collision.
