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 performance
problems resulting from the modification may not be
covered under warranty.
If you install any Genuine Accessories such as a
bull–bar, winch, etc., consult your Lexus dealer.
Spark ignition system of your Lexus
The spark ignition system in your Lexus meets all
requirements of the Canadian Interference–Causing
Equipment Standard.
Installation of a mobile two–way radio
system
As the installation of a mobile two–way radio system in
your vehicle could affect electronic systems such as the
multiport fuel injection system/sequential multiport fuel
injection system, cruise control system, anti–lock brake
system, SRS airbag system and seat belt pretensioner
system, be sure to check with your Lexus dealer for
precautionary measures or special instructions
regarding installation.
INTRODUCTION
iii
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 a
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.
On–pavement and off–road driving tips
This vehicle belongs to the utility vehicle class. Utility
vehicles have a significantly higher rollover rate than
other types of vehicles. This vehicle will handle and
maneuver differently from an ordinary passenger car
because it is designed for off–road use also. In addition,
this vehicle has a higher ground clearance and center of
gravity than that of an ordinary passenger car. This
vehicle design feature causes this type of vehicle to be
more likely to rollover. Failure to operate this vehicle
correctly may result in loss of control, accidents or
vehicle rollover causing death or serious injury. Be sure
to read ”Off–road vehicle precautions” on page 397 and
”Off–road driving precautions” on page 403.
