■Pop Up Hood operational conditions
The Pop Up Hood will operate when the
vehicle detects an impact such as the fol-
lowing:
●The front bumper detects a frontal
impact equivalent to or greater than that
of a pedestrian while the vehicle being
driven within the operational speed
range of approximately 16 to 34 mph (25
to 55 km/h). (The system is operated by
an impact of threshold level or greater,
even in the case of a minor collision that
may not leave a trace on the front
bumper. Also, depending on the impact
conditions or vehicle speed, the system
may operate by a collision with a light or
small object or a small animal.)
●In other situations such as the following,
the system may operate when an impact
is applied to the lowe r part of the vehicle
or front bumper:
• Colliding with a curb
• Falling into a deep hole
• Landing hard
• Hitting the slope of a parking lot, an undulating road, a protruding object or
falling object
■Conditions under which the Pop Up
Hood may not operate properly
●If a pedestrian collides with the right or
left corner of the front bumper or the side
of the vehicle. As such impacts may be
difficult to detect, the system may not
operate.
●If the vehicle speed is not detected cor-
rectly, such as if the vehicle is sliding side-
ways, the system may not operate
properly.
■Conditions under which the Pop Up
Hood will not operate
The Pop Up Hood will not operate in the
following situations:
●Colliding with a lying person
●A frontal impact applied to the front
bumper while driving at speeds outside
of the operational speed range
●A side impact or rear impact
●A vehicle rollover (In some accident situ-
ations, the Pop Up Hood may operate.)
WARNING
■When the Pop Up Hood is operated
●Do not pull the hood lock release
lever. Doing so after the Pop Up Hood
has operated will further raise the
hood and may cause an injury. Do not
drive with the hood raised, as doing so
may block the driver’s vision, possibly
causing an accident.
●Do not forcibly push down the hood.
As the popped up hood cannot be
lowered by hand, doing so may
deform the hood or cause an injury.
●If the Pop Up Hood has operated,
have it replaced by your Lexus dealer.
If the Pop Up Hood has operated, stop
the vehicle in a safe place and contact
your Lexus dealer.
●Do not touch the lifters immediately
after the Pop Up Hood has operated,
as the lifters may be hot and burn you.
NOTICE
■Pop Up Hood precautions
●Make sure to close the hood before
driving, as the system may not operate
properly if the hood is not fully closed.
●Make sure that all 4 tires are of the
specified size and inflated to the speci-
fied tire pressure. If tires of a different
size are used, the system may not
operate properly.
●If something has hit the area around
the front bumper, the sensors may be
damaged even if the Pop Up Hood has
not operated. Have the vehicle
inspected by your Lexus dealer.
●Do not remove or repair the parts or
wiring of the Pop Up Hood, as doing
so may cause accidental operation or
prevent the system from operating
properly. If repair or replacement is
necessary, contact your Lexus dealer.

2244-6. Driving tips
any snow that has accumulated on
the air inlet vents in front of the
windshield.
 Check for and remove any excess
ice or snow that may have accumu-
lated on the exterior lights, soft top
roof, chassis, around the tires or on
the brakes.
 Remove any snow or mud from the
bottom of your shoes before getting
in the vehicle.
■To protect the windshield wipers
 P.168
Accelerate the vehicle slowly, keep a
safe distance between you and the
vehicle ahead, and drive at a reduced
speed suitable to road conditions.
Park the vehicle and shift the shift posi-
tion to P without setting the parking
brake. The parking brake may freeze
up, preventing it from being released. If
the vehicle is parked without setting
the parking brake, make sure to block
the wheels. Failure to do so may be dangerous
because it may cause the vehicle to
move unexpectedly, possibly leading
to an accident.
Tire chains cannot be mounted.
Snow tires should be used instead.
To enable the windshield wipers to be
lifted when heavy snow or icy condi-
tions are expected, change the rest
position of the windshield wipers from
the retracted position below the hood
to the service position using the wiper
lever. (
P.169)
NOTICE
■When the side windows or rear quar-
ter windows are frozen
 P.133
■When removing ice that accumulates
on the windshield glass and windows
Do not strike the ice. The windshield
glass and windows may be cracked.
