WARNING
■When inspecting under the hood of your vehicle
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in serious injury such as burns.
●If steam is seen coming from under the h ood, do not open the hood until the steam
has subsided. The engine compartment may be very hot.
●Keep hands and clothing (especially a tie, a scarf or a muffler) away from the fans and
belts. Failure to do so may cause the hands or clothing to be caught, resulting in seri-
ous injury.
●Do not loosen the radiator cap or the cool ant reservoir cap while the engine and radi-
ator are hot. High temperature steam or coolant could spray out.
NOTICE
■When adding engine coolant
Add coolant slowly after the engine has cool ed down sufficiently. Adding cool coolant
to a hot engine too quickly can cause damage to the engine.
■To prevent damage to the cooling system
Observe the following precautions:
●Avoid contaminating the coolant with foreig n matter (such as sand or dust etc.).
●Do not use any coolant additive.

■Temperature A, B, C
The temperature grades are A (the highes
t), B, and C, representing the tire’s
resistance to the generation of heat and its ability to dissipate heat when
tested under controlled conditions on a specified indoor laboratory test
wheel.
Sustained high temperature can cause the ma terial of the tire to degenerate and
reduce tire life, and excessive temperature can lead to sudden tire failure.
Grade C corresponds to a level of perfor mance which all passenger car tires must
meet under the Federal 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, underi nflation, or excessive loading, either separately or in com-
bination, can cause heat buildup and possible tire failure.

AVERTISSEMENT
■Précautions relatives aux coussins gonflables SRS
●N’accrochez pas de cintres ni d’autres objets rigides sur les crochets porte-vête-
ments. Tous ces objets pourraient se tran sformer 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 gon-
flable SRS de protection des genoux, veillez à le retirer.
●N’utilisez pas d’accessoires recouvrant les parties du siège où les coussins gonflables
SRS latéraux se déploient, car ces accessoires pourraient entraver le déploiement
des coussins gonflables SRS. De tels accessoires peuvent empêcher les coussins
gonflables latéraux de se déployer corre ctement, rendre le système inopérant ou
provoquer accidentellement le déploiement des coussins gonflables latéraux, occa-
sionnant des blessures graves, voire mortelles.
●Ne frappez pas et n’appliquez pas une pr ession importante à l’emplacement des
composants des coussins gonflables SRS.
Cela peut provoquer un mauvais foncti onnement des coussins gonflables SRS.
●Ne touchez à aucun composant des coussi ns gonflables SRS immédiatement après
leur déploiement (gonflage), ca r 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 pouvez le faire en toute sécurité. Dès que possible, nettoyez tous les
résidus afin d’éviter le s irritations cutanées.
●Si les emplacements de stockage des coussi ns gonflables SRS, tels que le tampon de
volant et les garnitures des montants avant et arrière, sont endommagés ou fissurés,
faites-les remplacer par votre concessionnaire Lexus.
●Ne placez aucun objet, par exemple un coussin, sur le siège du passager avant. Cela
disperserait le poids du passager, ce qui empêcherait le capteur de le détecter cor-
rectement. Cela pourrait empêcher le déploiement des coussins gonflables SRS du
passager avant en cas de collision.
●Ne fixez rien sur des zones telles que les
portières, le pare-b rise, les glaces de
portières, les montants avant ou arrière, le
brancard de pavillon et la poignée de main-
tien.
