Please note that this manual applies to
all models and explains all equipment,
including options. Therefore, you may
find explanations for equipment not
installed on your vehicle and the illus-
trations used may differ from your vehi-
cle.
All specifications provided in this man-
ual are current at the time of printing.
Over time, your vehicle may receive
updates that modify the vehicle and
make material in this manual incom-
plete and/or inaccurate. Because of
Lexus’ interest in continual product
improvement, Lexus reserves the right
to make changes to this manual at any
time without notice.
If Lexus chooses to update the manual,
updated versions can be viewed by
selecting your vehicle by model and
year at the following URL or on your
mobile device if you have access to the
Lexus app.

Approximately five hours after the
hybrid system is turned off, 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 mal-
function.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.
Also, remodeling like this will have an
effect on advanced safety equipment
such as Lexus Safety System + 2.5 and
there is a danger that it will not work
properly or the danger that it may work
in situations where it should not be
working.
The installation of a mobile two-way
radio system in your vehicle could
affect electronic systems such as:

Hybrid system
 Multiport fuel injection sys-
