WARNING
●When driving over roads with potholes
or uneven surfaces
■TRAC may not operate effectively
when
Directional control and power may not
be achievable while driving on slippery
road surfaces, even if the TRAC system is
operating. Drive the vehicle carefully in
conditions where stability and power
may be lost.
■Hill-start assist control does not oper-
ate effectively when
●Do not overly rely on hill-start assist
control. Hill-start assist control may
not operate effectively on steep
inclines and roads covered with ice.
●Unlike the parking brake, hill-start
assist control is not intended to hold
the vehicle stationary for an extended
period of time. Do not attempt to use
hill-start assist control to hold the vehi-
cle on an incline, as doing so may lead
to an accident.
■When the TRAC/VSC is activated
The slip indicator light flashes. Always
drive carefully. Re ckless driving may
cause an accident. Exercise particular
care when the indicator light flashes.
■When the TRAC/VSC systems are
turned off
Be especially careful and drive at a speed
appropriate to the road conditions. As
these are the systems to help ensure
vehicle stability and driving force, do not
turn the TRAC/VSC systems off unless
necessary.
■Expert mode precautions
●Do not use on public roads.
●Use only when the road conditions and
safety of the surrounding area can be
ensured.
●Proper use of expert mode requires a
professional level of driving skill. When
using expert mode, always check the
road conditions and surrounding area
and drive more carefully than usual.
■Replacing tires
Make sure that all ti res are of the speci-
fied size, brand, tread pattern and total
load capacity. In addition, make sure that
the tires are inflated to the recom-
mended tire inflat ion pressure level.
The ABS, TRAC and VSC systems will
not function correctly if different tires are
installed on the vehicle.
Contact your Lexus dealer for further
information when replacing tires or
wheels.
■Handling of tires and the suspension
Using tires with any kind of problem or
modifying the suspensi on will affect the
driving assist systems, and may cause a
system to malfunction.

*: The doors that can recall the driving position memory are changed at the
same time.
■Using automatic mode
Fan speed is adjusted automatically accord-
ing to the temperature setting and the
ambient conditions.
Therefore, the fan may stop for a while until
warm or cool air is ready to flow immedi-
ately after is pressed or “AUTO” is
selected.
■Using the voice command system
Air conditioning syst em can be operated
using voice commands. Fo r details, refer to
the “NAVIGATION AND MULTIMEDIA
SYSTEM OWNER’S MANUAL”.
■Fogging up of the windows
The windows will easily fog up when the
humidity in the vehicle is high. Turning (“A/C”) on will dehumidify the air
from the outlets and defog the windshield
effectively.
●If you turn (“A/C”) off, the win-
dows may fog up more easily.
●The windows may fog up if the recircu-
lated air mode is used.
■When driving on dusty roads
Close all windows. If dust thrown up by the
vehicle is still drawn into the vehicle after
closing the windows, it is recommended
that the air intake mode be set to outside air
mode and the fan speed to any setting
except off.
■Outside/recirculated air mode
●Setting to the recirculated air mode tem-
porarily is recommended in preventing
dirty air from entering the vehicle interior
and helping to cool the vehicle when the
outside air temperature is high.
●Outside/recirculated air mode may auto-
matically switch depending on the tem-
perature setting or the inside
temperature.
■When the outside temperature exceeds
75°F (24°C) and the air conditioning
system is on
●In order to reduce the air conditioning
power consumption, the air conditioning
system may switch to recirculated air
mode automatically. This may also
reduce fuel consumption.
●Recirculated air mode is selected as a
default mode when the engine switch is
turned to IGNITION ON mode.
●It is possible to switch to outside air mode
at any time by pressing .
■Automatic mode for air intake control
In automatic mode, the system detects
exhaust gas and other pollutants and auto-
matically switches between outside air and
recirculated air modes.
When the dehumidification function is off,
and the fan is operating, turning automatic
mode on will activate the dehumidification
function.
■Operation of the air conditioning sys-
tem in Eco drive mode
In Eco drive mode, the air conditioning sys-
tem is controlled as foll ows to prioritize fuel
efficiency:
●Engine speed and compressor operation
controlled to restrict heating/cooling
capacity
●Fan speed restricted when automatic
mode is selected
To improve air condit ioning performance,
perform the following operations:
●Adjust the fan speed
●Turn off Eco drive mode
■When the outside temperature falls to
nearly 32°F (0°C)
The dehumidification function may not
operate even when is pressed or
“A/C” is selected.
■Ventilation and air conditioning odors
●To let fresh air in, set the air conditioning
system to the outside air mode.

Maintenance and care
this case, the active rear wing may not be
washed very well or may even be
scratched or damaged.
●Brushes used in automatic car washes
may scratch the vehi cle surface, parts
(wheel, etc.) and harm your vehicle’s
paint.
■Automatic car washes(vehicles with
CFRP parts)
Do not use an automatic car wash as they
may scratch the CFRP parts and damage
their finish or damage the fixed rear wing.
■High pressure car washes
As water may enter the cabin, do not bring
the nozzle tip near the gaps around the
doors or perimeter of the windows, or spray
these areas continuously.
■When using a car wash
If the door handle becomes wet while the
electronic key is within the effective range,
the door may lock and unlock repeatedly. In
that case, follow the following correction
procedures to wash the vehicle:
●Place the key in a position 6 ft. (2 m) or
more separate from the vehicle while the
vehicle is being washed. (Take care to
ensure that the key is not stolen.)
●Set the electronic key to battery-saving
mode to disable the smart access system
with push-button start. ( P.98)
■Wheels and wheel ornaments (vehicles
without matte black painted wheels)
●Remove any dirt immediately by using a
neutral detergent.
●Wash detergent off with water immedi-
ately after use.
●To protect the paint from damage, make
sure to observe the following precau-
tions.
• Do not use acidic, al kaline or abrasive
detergent
• Do not use hard brushes
• Do not use detergent on the wheels when they are hot, such as after driving or park-
ing in hot weather
■Wheels and wheel ornaments (vehicles
with matte black painted wheels)
As matte black painted wheels require dif-
ferent cleaning method s than conventional
aluminum wheels, be sure to observer the
following. For details, consult your Lexus
dealer.
●Remove dirt using water. If the wheels are
excessively dirty, use a sponge or soft
cloth dampened with a diluted neutral
detergent to remove the dirt.

rinse it off with water immediately. Then
use a soft cloth to wipe off the water.
●To prevent the matte black paint from
being damaged, make sure to observe
the following precautions:
• Do not scrub or polish the wheels using a brush or dry cloth.
• Do not use any wheel coatings or abra-
sive detergents.
• When using an automatic car wash, dis- able/do not select t he wheel brush func-
tion(if such an option is available).
• Do not use a high pressure pressure washer or steam cleaner.
• Do not use detergent on the wheels when they are hot, such as after driving or park-
ing in hot weather.
■Diffuser (Vehicles with titanium muf-
flers)
The cleaning method for the diffuser on
vehicles with titanium mufflers differs from
that for normal diffusers.
●When using detergent, make sure to
rinse it off with water immediately. Then
use a soft cloth to wipe off the water.
●To prevent the diffuser from being dam-
aged, make sure to observe the following
precautions:
• Do not scrub or polish the diffuser using a brush or dry cloth.
