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.

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.

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, active traction

control system, vehicle stability control system, active height control system, adap-

tive variable suspension system, SRS airbag system and seat belt pretensioner sys-

tem, be sure to check with your Lexus dealer for precautionary measures or special

instructions regarding installation.

Unwanted noise may occur in the reception of the mobile two-way radio.

xvii

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.

Leak detection pump (for the U.S.A. and Canada)

This pump performs fuel evaporation leakage check. This check is conducted sev-

eral hours after the engine is turned off. You may hear a sound coming from under-

neath the luggage compartment for several minutes, however this does not indicate

a malfunction.

CAUTION

■ General precautions while driving

Driving under the influence: Never drive your vehicle when under the influence of

alcohol or drugs that have impaired your ability to operate your vehicle. Alcohol

and certain drugs delay reaction time, impair judgment and reduce coordination,

which could lead to an accident that will hurt or kill you, your occupants or others.

Defensive driving: Always drive defensively. Anticipate mistakes that other drivers

or pedestrians might make and be ready to avoid accidents.

Driver distraction: Always give your full attention to driving. Anything that distracts

the driver, such as adjusting controls, talking on a cellular phone or reading can

result in a collision with resulting death or serious injury to you, your occupants or

others.

■ General precaution regarding children’s safety

Never leave children unattended in the vehicle, and never allow children to have or

use the key.

Children may be able to start the vehicle or shift the vehicle into neutral. There is

also a danger that children may injure themselves by playing with the cigarette

lighter, the windows, the moon roof, or other features of the vehicle. In addition, heat

build-up or extremely cold temperatures inside the vehicle can be fatal to children.
