4-6.Driving tips
Use fluids that are appropriate to
the prevailing outside temperatures.
•Engine oil
• Engine coolant
•Washer fluid
Have a service technician inspect
the condition of the battery.
 Have the vehicle fitted with four
snow tires.
Ensure that all tires are the specified size
and the same brand.
Perform the following according to the
driving conditions:
Do not try to forcibly open a window
or move a wiper that is frozen. Pour
warm water over the frozen area to
melt the ice. Wipe away the water
immediately to prevent it from
freezing.
 To ensure proper operation of the
climate control system fan, remove
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, vehicle’s
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.
Accelerate the vehicle slowly, keep a
safe distance between you and the
vehicle ahead, and drive at a reduced
speed suitable to road conditions.
Winter driving tips
Carry out the necessary prepara-
tions and inspections before driving
the vehicle in winter. Always drive
the vehicle in a manner appropriate
to the prevailing weather condi-
tions.
Preparation for winter
WARNING
■Driving with snow tires
Observe the following precautions to
reduce the risk of accidents.
Failure to do so may result in a loss of
vehicle control and cause death or seri-
ous injury.
●Use tires of the specified size.
●Maintain the recommended level of air
pressure.
●Do not drive in excess of 75 mph (120
km/h), regardless of the type of snow
tires being used.
●Use snow tires on all, not just some
wheels.
NOTICE
■Repairing or replacing snow tires
Request repairs or replacement of snow
tires from Lexus dealers or legitimate tire
retailers.
This is because the removal and attach-
ment of snow tires affects the operation
of the tire pressure warning valves and
transmitters.

turning.
●The vehicle is on an inclined surface.
●The vehicle is in a place where the earth’s
magnetic field is subject to interference
by artificial magnetic fields (under-
ground car park/parking lot, under a
steel tower, between buildings, roof car
park/parking lot, near an intersection,
near a large vehicle, etc.).
●The vehicle has become magnetized.
(There is a magnet or metal object near

objects near the inside rear view mirror.
Doing this may cause the compass sen-
sor to malfunction.
■To ensure normal operation of the
compass
●Do not perform circling calibration of
the compass in a place where the
earth’s magnetic field is subject to
interference by artificial magnetic
fields.
●During calibration, do not operate
electric systems (moon roof, power
windows, etc.) as they may interfere
with the calibration.

2406-1. Maintenance and care
6-1.Maintenance and care
Unlike a vehicle with a normal clear
coat, special care is necessary to pro-
tect the appearance of a vehicle with a
matte clear coat. (P.248, 252, 254)
 Working from top to bottom, liber-
ally apply water to the vehicle body,
wheel wells and underside of the
vehicle to remove any dirt and dust.
 Wash the vehicle body using a
sponge or soft cloth, such as a
chamois.
 For hard-to-remove marks, use car
wash soap and rinse thoroughly with
water.
 Wipe away any water.
 Wax the vehicle when the water-
proof coating deteriorates.
If water does not bead on a clean surface,
apply wax when the vehicle body is cool.
■CFRP (Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plas-
tic) part (if equipped)
●As the CFRP parts ma y change color if
they are exposed to ultraviolet rays for
extended periods of time, Lexus recom-
mends that your vehicle be stored in a
place where it will not be exposed to
direct sunlight.
●Do not use wax that contains abrasives.
■Black stainless steel window moldings
The stainless steel window moldings are
made of black oxide co ated stainless steel.
When cleaning the vehicle, do not scrub the
moldings with an abrasive cleaner as their
finish may be damaged or the color may
change.
■Self-restoring coat*
The vehicle body has a self-restoring coat-
ing that is resistant to small surface
scratches caused in a car wash etc.
●The coating lasts for 5 to 8 years from
when the vehicle is delivered from the
plant.
●The restoration time differs depending on
the depth of the scratch and outside tem-
perature.
The restoration time may become shorter
when the coating is warmed by applying
warm water.
●Deep scratches caused by keys, coins,
etc. cannot be restored.
●Do not use wax that contains abrasives.
*: CFRP parts (if equipp ed) do not have a
self-restoring coat.
■Automatic car washes(vehicles without
CFRP parts)
●Fold the mirrors befo re washing the vehi-
cle. Start washing from the front of the
vehicle. Make sure to extend the mirrors
before driving.
●Wash the vehicle with the active rear
wing retracted. If the vehicle is washed
with the active rear wing raised, depend-
ing on the type of automatic car wash, the
brushes of the automatic car wash may
become stuck on the active rear wing. In
Cleaning and protecting the
vehicle exterior
Perform cleaning in a manner
appropriate to each component
and its material.

3287-2. Steps to take in an emergency
WARNING
• If the hose comes off the valve while inflating the tire, there is a risk that the
hose will move abruptly due to air
pressure.
• After inflation of the tire has com- pleted, the sealant may splatter when
the hose is disconnected or some air is
let out of the tire.
●Follow the operation procedure to
repair the tire. If the procedure is not
followed, the sealant may spray out.
●Keep back from the tire while it is
being repaired, as th ere is a chance of
it bursting while the repair operation is
being performed. If you notice any
cracks or deformation of the tire, turn
off the compressor switch and stop the
repair operation immediately.
●The kit may overheat if operated for a
long period of time. Do not operate
the compressor continuously for more
than 35 minutes.
●Parts of the kit become hot during
operation. Be careful handling the kit
during and after operation. Do not
touch the metal part around the con-
necting area between the bottle and
compressor. It will be extremely hot.
●Do not attach the vehicle speed warn-
ing sticker to an area other than the
one indicated. If the sticker is attached
to an area where an SRS airbag is
located, such as the pad of the steering
wheel, it may prevent the SRS airbag
from operating properly.
■Driving to spread the liquid sealant
evenly
●Drive the vehicle carefully at a low
speed. Be especially careful when
turning and cornering.
●If the vehicle does not drive straight or
you feel a pull through the steering
wheel, stop the vehicle and check the
following:
• Tire condition. The tire may have sepa- rated from the wheel.
• Tire inflation pressure. If tire inflation pressure is 19 psi (130 kPa, 1.3 kgf/cm
2
or bar) or below, this may indicate
severe tire damage.
NOTICE
■When performing an emergency
repair
●Perform the emergency repair with-
out removing the nail or screw that has
punctured the tread of the tire. If the
object that has punctured the tire is
removed, repair by the emergency tire
puncture repair kit may not be possi-
ble.
●The kit is not waterproof. Make sure
that the kit is not exposed to water,
such as when it is being used in the
rain.
●Do not put the kit directly onto dusty
ground such as sand at the side of the
road. If the kit vacuums up dust etc., a
malfunction may occur.
●Make sure to stand the kit with the bot-
tle vertical. The kit cannot work prop-
erly if it is laid on its side.
■Handling the emergency tire punc-
ture repair kit
●The compressor power source should
be 12 V DC suitable for vehicle use.
Do not connect the compressor to any
other source.
●If gasoline splatters on the kit, the kit
may deteriorate. Take care not to allow
gasoline to contact it.
