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
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:
Hybrid system
Multiport fuel injection sys-
tem/sequential multiport fuel injec-
tion system
Lexus Safety System +
Anti-lock brake system
Vehicle dynamics integrated man-
agement
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.

To learn more about the vehicle data
collected, used and shared by Lexus,
please visit www.lexus.com/privacyvts/
This vehicle is equipped with an event
data recorder (EDR). The main pur-
pose of an EDR is to record, in certain
crash or near crash-like situations, such
as an air bag deployment or hitting a
road obstacle, data that will assist in
understanding how a vehicle’s systems
performed. The EDR is designed to
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, seat belt pretensioner
devices and Pop Up Hood system in
your Lexus contain explosive chemi-
cals. If the vehicle is scrapped with the
airbags, seat belt pretensioners and
Pop Up Hood micro gas generators

left as they are, this may cause an acci-
dent such as fire. Be sure to have the
systems of the SRS airbag, seat belt
pretensioner and Pop Up Hood micro
gas generator system removed and
disposed of by a qualified service shop
or by your Lexus dealer before you
scrap your vehicle.
Special handling may apply, See

hazardouswaste/perchlorate.
Your vehicle has components that may
contain perchlorate. These compo-
nents may include airbag, seat belt pre-
tensioners, Pop Up Hood system, and
wireless remote control batteries.

WARNING
■General precautions while driving
Driving under the infl uence: Never drive
your vehicle when un der the influence of
alcohol or drugs that have impaired your
ability to operate your vehicle. Alcohol
and certain drugs delay reaction time,
impair judgment and reduce coordina-
tion, which could lead to an accident that
could result in death or serious injury.
Defensive driving: Always drive defen-
sively. Anticipate mistakes that other
drivers or pedestrians might make and
be ready to avoid accidents.
Driver distraction: Always give your full
attention to driving. Anything that dis-
tracts the driver, such as adjusting con-
trols, talking on a cellular phone or
reading can result in a collision with
resulting death or serious injury to you,
your occupants or others.
■General precaution regarding chil-
dren’s safety
Never leave children unattended in the
vehicle, and never allow children to have
or use the key.
Children may be able to start the vehicle
or shift the vehicle into neutral. There is
also a danger that children may injure
themselves by playing with the windows
or other features of the vehicle. In addi-
tion, heat build-up or extremely cold
temperatures inside the vehicle can be
fatal to children.
