WARNING
■After recharging the 12-volt battery
Have the 12-volt battery inspected at
your Lexus dealer as soon as possible. If
the 12-volt battery is deteriorating, con-
tinued use may cause the 12-volt battery
to emit a malodorous gas, which may be
detrimental to the health of passengers.
■When exchanging the 12-volt battery
After exchanging, securely attach the
exhaust hose and exhaust hole plug to
the exhaust hole of the exchanged 12-
volt battery. If not properly installed,
gases (hydrogen) may leak into the vehi-
cle interior, and there is the possible dan-
ger of the gas igniting and exploding.
NOTICE
■When handling jumper cables
When connecting the jumper cables,
ensure that they do not become entan-
gled in the cooling fan or engine drive
belt.
■To prevent damaging the vehicle
The exclusive jump starting terminal is to
be used when charging the 12-volt bat-
tery from another ve hicle in an emer-
gency. It cannot be used to jump start
another vehicle.
