QConditions under which the system may
not function correctly
OThe Blind Spot Monitor may not detect
vehicles correctly in the following situa-
tions:
• When the sensor is misaligned due to a strong impact to the sensor or its sur-
rounding area
• When mud, snow, ice, a sticker, etc. is covering the sensor or surrounding area
on the rear bumper
• When driving on a road surface that is wet with standing water during bad
weather, such as heavy rain, snow, or fog
• When multiple vehicles are approaching with only a small gap between each vehi-
cle
• When the distance between your vehicle and a following vehicle is short
• When there is a significant difference in
speed between your vehicle and the
vehicle that enters the detection area
• When the difference in speed between
your vehicle and another vehicle is
changing
• When a vehicle enters a detection area
traveling at about the same speed as your
vehicle
• As your vehicle starts from a stop, a vehi-
cle remains in the detection area
• When driving up and down consecutive steep inclines, such as hills, dips in the
road, etc.
• When driving on roads with sharp bends, consecutive curves, or uneven surfaces
• When vehicle lanes are wide, or when driving on the edge of a lane, and the
vehicle in an adjacent lane is far away
from your vehicle
• When an accessory (such as a bicycle carrier) or towing eyelet is installed to the
rear of the vehicle
• When there is a significant difference in height between your vehicle and the
vehicle that enters the detection area
• Immediately after the Blind Spot Monitor
is turned on
OInstances of the Blind Spot Monitor
unnecessarily detecting a vehicle and/or
object may increase in the following situ-
ations:
• When the sensor is misaligned due to a strong impact to the sensor or its sur- rounding area
• When the distance between your vehicle and a guardrail, wall, etc. that enters the
detection area is short
• When driving up and down consecutive steep inclines, such as hills, dips in the
road, etc.
• When vehicle lanes are narrow, or when driving on the edge of a lane, and a vehi-
cle traveling in a lane other than the adja-
cent lanes enters the detection area
• When driving on roads with sharp bends,
consecutive curves, or uneven surfaces
• When the tires are slipping or spinning
• When the distance between your vehicle
and a following vehicle is short
• When an accessory (such as a bicycle carrier) or towing eyelet is installed to the
rear of the vehicle

weather, such as heavy rain, snow, or fog.
OWhen multiple vehicles are approaching
with only a small gap between each vehi-
cle.

and vehicles are being driven on the
street.

reflect electrical waves toward the rear of
the vehicle, is short.

2384-5. Using the driving support systems
QSituations in which the system may not
operate properly
OSome pedestrians, such as the following,
may not be detected by the rear camera
detection function, preventing the func-
tion from operating properly:
• Pedestrians who are bending forward or squatting
• Pedestrians who are lying down
• Pedestrians who are running
• Pedestrians who suddenly enter the detection area
• People riding a bicycle, skateboard, or other light vehicle

their silhouette obscure
• Pedestrians whose body is partially hid- den by an object, such as a cart or
umbrella
• Pedestrians which are obscured by dark- ness, such as at night
OIn some situations, such as the following,
pedestrians may not be detected by the
rear camera detection function, prevent-
ing the function from operating properly:
• When backing up in inclement weather (rain, snow, fog, etc.)
• When the rear camera is obscured (dirt, snow, ice, etc. are attached) or scratched
• When a very bright light, such as the sun,
or the headlights of another vehicle,
shines directly into the rear camera
• When backing up in a place where the
surrounding brightness changes sud-
denly, such as at the entrance or exit of a
garage or underground parking lot
• When backing up in a dim environment such as during dusk or in an underground
parking lot
• When the camera position and direction are deviated
• When a towing hook is attached
• When water droplets are flowing on the camera lens
• When the vehicle height is extremely
changed (nose up, nose down)
• When tire chains or an emergency tire
puncture repair kit are used
QSituations in which the system may
operate unexpectedly
OEven though there are no pedestrians in the detection area, some objects, such as
the following, may be detected, possibly
causing the rear camera detection func-
tion to operate.
• Three dimensional objects, such as a pole, traffic cone, fence, or parked vehi-
cle
• Moving objects, such as a car or motor- cycle
• Objects moving toward your vehicle when backing up, such as flags or pud-
dles (or airborne matter, such as smoke,
steam, rain, or snow)

When trouble arises
press it briefly 3 times or more in
succession.
5 Stop the vehicle in a safe place by
the road.
If the door can be opened, open the
door and exit the vehicle.
 If the door can not be opened, open
the window using the power win-
dow switch and ensure an escape
route.
 If the window can be opened, exit
the vehicle through the window.
 If the door and window cannot be
opened due to the rising water,
remain calm, wait until the water
level inside the vehicle rises to the
point that the water pressure inside
of the vehicle equals the water pres-
sure outside of the vehicle and then
open the door after waiting for the
rising water to enter the vehicle, and
exit the vehicle. When the outside
water level exceeds half the height
of the door, the door cannot be
opened from the inside due to water
pressure.
QWater level exceeds the floor

WARNING
QIf the hybrid system has to be turned
off while driving
Power assist for the steering wheel will
be lost, making the steering wheel
heavier to turn. Decelerate as much as
possible before turning off the hybrid
system.
If the vehicle is submerged
or water on the road is rising
This vehicle is not designed to be
able to drive on roads that are
deeply flooded with water. Do not
drive on roads where the roads may
be submerged or the water may be
rising. It is dangerous to remain in
the vehicle, if it anticipated that the
vehicle will be flooded or set a drift.
Remain calm and follow the follow-
ing.

When trouble arises
When replacing tires on a vehicle with
wheel lock nuts, use the following pro-
cedures to remove and install the
wheel lock nuts. The wheel lock key is
stored in the tray inside the luggage
compartment. Always return the wheel
lock key to its original position after
use, so that it does not get lost.
QRemoval
For ease of removal, the wheel lock nut
should always be the first one loos-
ened.
1 Place the wheel lock key on top of
the wheel lock nut, turning until the
wheel lock key and wheel lock nut
patterns engage. 2
Place the wheel nut wrench on the
wheel lock key, and while applying
pressure on the wheel lock key,
loosen the wheel lock nut.
QInstallation
For ease of installation, the wheel lock
nut should always be the last one tight-
ened.
1 By hand, Install a wheel lock nut on
the wheel to be installed.
2 Place the wheel lock key on top of
the wheel lock nut, turning until the
wheel lock key and wheel lock nut
patterns engage.
3 Place the wheel nut wrench on the
wheel lock key, and while applying
pressure on the wheel lock key,
tighten the wheel lock nut to the
recommended torque.
1 Open the trunk.
2 Pull the lever upwards when lifting
the luggage mat up.
WARNING
ODo not raise the vehicle while some-
one is inside.
OWhen raising the vehicle, do not put an
object on or under the jack.
ODo not raise the vehicle to a height
greater than that required to replace
the tire.

It provides the purchasers and/or pro-
spective purchasers of Lexus vehicles
with information on uniform tire quality
grading.
Your Lexus dealer will help answer any
questions you may have as you read this
information.
QDOT quality grades
All passenger vehicle tires must con-
form to Federal Safety Requirements
in addition to these grades. Quality
grades can be found where applicable
on the tire sidewall between tread
shoulder and maximum section width.
For example: Treadwear 200 Traction AA
Temperature A
QTreadwear
The treadwear grade is a comparative
rating based on the wear rate of the
tire when tested under controlled con-
ditions on a specified government test
course.
For example, a tire graded 150 would
wear one and a half (1 - 1/2) times as well
on the government course as a tire graded
100.
The relative performance of tires depends
upon the actual conditions of their use.
Performance may differ significantly from
the norm due to variations in driving habits,
service practices and differences in road
characteristics and climate.
