For your information

Main Owner’s Manual

Please note that this manual applies to all models and explains all equipment, includ-

ing options. Therefore, you may find some explanations for equipment not installed

on your vehicle.

All specifications provided in this manual are current at the time of printing. How-

ever, because of the Lexus policy of continual product improvement, we reserve the

right to make changes at any time without notice.

Depending on specifications, the vehicle shown in the illustration may differ from

your vehicle in terms of color and equipment.

Noise from under vehicle after turning off the engine

Approximately five hours after the engine 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 malfunction.

Accessories, spare parts and modification of your Lexus

A wide variety of non-genuine spare parts and accessories for Lexus vehicles are

currently available in the market. You should know that Toyota does not warrant

these products and is not responsible for their performance, repair, or replacement,

or for any damage 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 violate governmental regulations. In addition, damage or perfor-

mance problems resulting from the modification may not be covered under war-

ranty.

20

Installation of a mobile two-way radio system

The installation of a mobile two-way radio system in your vehicle could affect elec-

tronic systems such as:

● Multiport fuel injection system/sequential multiport fuel injection system

● Cruise control system

● Dynamic radar cruise control system

● Anti-lock brake system

● SRS airbag system

● Seat belt pretensioner system

Be sure to check with your Lexus dealer for precautionary measures or special

instructions regarding installation of a mobile two-way radio system.

Scrapping of your Lexus

The SRS airbag and seat belt pretensioner devices in your Lexus contain explosive

chemicals. If the vehicle is scrapped with the airbags and seat belt pretensioners left

as they are, this may cause an accident such as fire. Be sure to have the systems of

the SRS airbag and seat belt pretensioner removed and disposed of by a qualified

service shop or by your Lexus dealer before you scrap your vehicle.

Perchlorate Material

Special handling may apply, See www.dtsc.ca.gov/hazardouswaste/perchlorate.

Your vehicle has components that may contain perchlorate. These components may

include airbag, seat belt pretensioners, and wireless remote control batteries.
