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.

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

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

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.
