Maintenance and care
Tire pressure gauge
1 Remove the tire valve cap.
2 Press the tip of the tire pressure
gauge onto the tire valve.
3 Read the pressure using the gauge
gradations.
4 If the tire inflation pressure is not at
the recommended level, adjust the
pressure.
If you add too much air, press the
center of the valve to deflate.
5 After completing the tire inflation
pressure measurement and adjust-
ment, apply soapy water to the
valve and check for leakage.
6 Put the tire valve cap back on.
QTire inflation pressure check interval
You should check tire inflation pressure
every two weeks, or at least once a month.
Do not forget to check the spare.
QEffects of incorrect tire inflation pres-
sure
Driving with incorrect tire inflation pressure
may result in the following:
OReduced fuel economy
OReduced driving comfort and poor han-
dling
OReduced tire life due to wear
OReduced safety
ODamage to the drivetrain
If a tire needs frequent inflating, have it
checked by your Lexus dealer.
QInstructions for checking tire inflation
pressure
When checking tire inflation pressure,
observe the following:
OCheck only when the tires are cold.
If your vehicle has been parked for at
least 3 hours or has not been driven for more than 1 mile or 1.5 km, you will get an
accurate cold tire inflation pressure read-
ing.
OAlways use a tire pressure gauge.
It is difficult to judge if a tire is properly
inflated based only on its appearance.
OIt is normal for the tire inflation pressure
to be higher after driving as heat is gener-
ated in the tire. Do not reduce tire infla-
tion pressure after driving.
ONever exceed the vehicle capacity
weight.
Passengers and luggage weight should
be placed so that the vehicle is balanced.
B
WARNING
QProper inflation is critical to save tire
performance
Keep your tires properly inflated.
If the tires are not properly inflated, the
following conditions may occur which
could lead to an accident resulting in
death or serious injury:
OExcessive wear
OUneven wear
OPoor handling
OPossibility of blowouts resulting from
overheated tires
OAir leaking from between tire and
wheel
OWheel deformation and/or tire dam-
age
OGreater possibility of tire damage
while driving (due to road hazards,
expansion joints, sharp edges in the
road, etc.)

3887-2. Steps to take in an emergency
Remove the cover inside the trunk and
pull the lever.
If you lose your keys
New genuine mechanical keys can
be made by your Lexus dealer using
another mechanical key and the
key number stamped on your key
number plate. Keep the plate in a
safe place such as your wallet, not in
the vehicle.
NOTICE
QWhen an electronic key is lost
If the electronic key remains lost, the risk
of vehicle theft increases significantly.
Visit your Lexus dealer immediately with
all remaining electr onic keys and the
card key (if equipped) that were pro-
vided with your vehicle.
If the fuel filler door cannot
be opened
If the fuel filler door opener switch
cannot be operated, contact your
Lexus dealer to service the vehicle.
In case where refueling is urgently
necessary, the following proce-
dure can be used to open the fuel
filler door.
Opening the fuel filler door
NOTICE
QWhen opening the fuel filler door
manually
ODo not open the fuel filler door manu-
ally except in an emergency. Fuel may
overflow.
OUsing the lever to open the fuel filler
door may not allow for an adequate
reduction in fuel ta nk pressure before
refueling. To prevent fuel from spilling
out, turn the cap slowly when remov-
ing it.
ODuring refueling, fuel may spill out
from the filler opening due to air being
discharged from inside the fuel tank.
Therefore, fill the fuel tank carefully
and slowly.

QVehicle identification number
The vehicle identification number
(VIN) is the legal identifier for your
vehicle. This is the primary identifica-
tion number for your Lexus. It is used in
registering the ownership of your vehi-
cle.
This number is on the top left of the
instrument panel. This number is also on the Certification
Label.

QOil capacity (Drain and refill [Ref-
erence

*: The engine oil capacity is a reference quantity to be used when changing the
engine oil. Warm up the engine and turn
off the hybrid system, wait more than 5
minutes, and check the oil level on the
dipstick.
QEngine oil selection
“Toyota Genuine Motor Oil” is used in
your Lexus vehicle. Use Lexus
approved “Toyota Genuine Motor
Oil” or equivalent to satisfy the follow-
ing grade and viscosity.
Oil grade: ILSAC GF-6B multigrade engine oil
Recommended viscosity:
SAE 0W-16
SAE 0W-16 is the best choice for
good fuel economy
and good starting
in cold weather.
If SAE 0W-16 is not available, SAE
0W-20 oil may be used. However, it
must be replaced with SAE 0W-16 at
the next oil change.

4168-1. Specifications
QTraction AA, A, B, C
The traction grades, from highest to
lowest, are AA, A, B and C, and they
represent the tire’s ability to stop on
wet pavement as measured under con-
trolled conditions on specified govern-
ment test surfaces of asphalt and
concrete.
A tire marked C may have poor traction
performance.
Warning: The traction grade assigned to
this tire is based on braking (straight
ahead) traction tests and does not include
cornering (turning) traction.
QTemperature A, B, C
The temperature grades are A (the
highest), B, and C, representing the
tire’s resistance to the generation of
heat and its ability to dissipate heat when tested under controlled condi-
tions on a specified indoor laboratory
test wheel.
Sustained high temperature can cause the
material of the tire to degenerate and
reduce tire life, and excessive temperature
can lead to sudden tire failure.
Grade C corresponds to a level of perfor-
mance which all passenger car tires must
meet under the Federal Motor Vehicle
Safety Standard No. 109.
Grades B and A represent higher levels of
performance on the laboratory test wheel
than the minimum required by law.
Warning: The temperature grades of a tire
assume that it is properly inflated and not
overloaded.
Excessive speed, underinflation, or exces-
sive loading, either separately or in combi-
nation, can cause heat buildup and
possible tire failure.
