YOUR LEXUS
Occupant restraint systems
Lexus encourages you and your family to take the time to read
Section 1-6 of this Owner’s Manual carefully. In terms of
helping you understand how you can receive the maximum
benefit of the occupant restraint systems this vehicle provides,
Section 1-6 of this Owner ’s Manual is the most important
section for you and your family to read.
Section 1-6 describes the function and operation concerning
seats, seat belts, SRS airbags and child restraint systems of
this vehicle and some potential hazards you should be aware
of. These systems work together along with the overall
structure of this vehicle in order to provide occupant restraint
in the event of a crash. The effect of each system is enhanced
when it is used properly and together with other systems. No
single occupant restraint system can, by itself, provide you or
your family with the equal level of restraint which these
systems can provide when used together. That is why it is
important for you and your family to understand the purpose
and proper use of each of these systems and how they relate
to each other.
The purpose of all occupant restraint systems is to help reduce
the possibility of death or serious injury in the event of a
collision. None of these systems, either individually or
together, can ensure that there is no injury in the event of
collision. However, the more you know about these systems
and how to use them properly, the greater your chances
become of surviving an accident without death or serious
injury.
Seat belts provide the primary restraint to all occupants of the
vehicle, and every occupant of the vehicle should wear seat
belts properly at all times. Children should always be secured
in child restraint systems that are appropriate for their age and
size. SRS (Supplemental Restraint System) airbags are, as
their names im p l y, designed to work with, and be supplemental
to, seat belts and are not substitutes for them. SRS airbags
can be very effective in reducing the risk of head, chest and
knee injuries by preventing contact of the head, chest and knee
with interior portions of the vehicle.
In order to be effective, the SRS airbags must deploy with
tremendous speed. The rapid deployment of the SRS airbags
makes the SRS airbags themselves potential sources of
serious injury if an occupant is too close to an airbag, or if an
object or so m e p a r t of his or her body has been placed between
the occupant and the airbag at the time of deployment. This
is just one example of how the instructions in Section 1-6 of
this Owner’s Manual will help ensure proper use of the
occupant restraint systems, and increase the safety they can
provide to you and your family in the event of an accident.
Lexus recommends you to read the provisions in Section 1-6
carefully and refer to them as needed during your time of
ownership of this vehicle.

ENGINE IMMOBILIZER SYSTEM
Deactivation using the smart key system
11L222a
The engine immobilizer system is a theft prevention
system. When you enter the vehicle carrying a smart key
and push the ignition switch, the electronic code in the
key is automatically checked to determine whether it
corresponds to the registered ID code for the vehicle. If
the key indicator light comes on after the ID code
verification, you can start the engine.
This system is automatically set when the ignition switch is
turned to the “LOCK” position. At this time, the security
indicator light flashes. When you push the ignition switch, the
security indicator light goes out and the system is cancelled
automatically, which enables the engine to start.
The engine immobilizer system cannot be cancelled if the
cancel switch of the smart key system is turned on. For details,
see “Deactivating the smart key system” on page 34.

Battery power saving
When doors are locked, the smart key system transmits
electromagnetic waves to the outside of the vehicle at regular
intervals. For this reason, the vehicle battery will be
discharged if the vehicle is left for a long time. If the key is left
within the effective range of the smart key system outside of
the vehicle, the key and the vehicle transmit electromagnetic
waves periodically.
If these conditions continue for a long time, the battery in the
key and vehicle will be discharged and from the sixth day,
smart unlocking operations will become slow.
T o prevent the batteries from being discharged, the smart key
system is automatically deactivated in the following conditions:
D If there is no smart door locking operation for more than 14
days
D If the key is left within the effective range of the smart key
system outside of the vehicle for more than 10 minutes
To reactivate the smart key system properly, perform any of the
following:
(a) Press the lock button on the outside door handle while
carrying the smart key.
(b) Perform a wireless remote control operation.
(c) Insert and turn the key in the keyhole of the door.
INFORMATION
D
To maintain communication with the vehicle, smart
keys (including master keys) use built-in battery
power. The battery service life is about 1 to 3 years
on average. If battery power becomes insufficient,
replace the battery with a new one.
D
The smart key continually receives electromagnetic
waves, and if it receives strong electromagnetic
waves over a period of time, the battery can be
drastically run down. Therefore, avoid storing smart
keys near any electrical appliances.
Here is a list of electrical appliances which may have
adverse effects on the smart key performance: TVs,
personal computers, cellular phone or cordless
phone recharger units, electric light stands and
fluorescent desk lights
Note that you should always keep such electrical
appliances at least 1 m (3 ft.) away from the smart key .

"
Low fuel level warning light
The gauge indicates the approximate quantity of fuel
remaining in the tank when the ignition switch is on.
It is a good idea to keep the tank over 1/4 full.
If the fuel level approaches “E” or the low fuel level warning light
comes on, fill the fuel tank as soon as possible.
On inclines or curves, due to the movement of fuel in the tank,
the fuel gauge needle may fluctuate or the low fuel level
warning light may come on earlier than usual.
If the fuel tank is completely empty, the malfunction indicator
lamp comes on. Fill the fuel tank immediately.
The indicator lamp goes off after driving several times. If the
indicator lamp does not go off, contact your Lexus dealer as
soon as possible.
See the inner back cover for fuel capacity and recommended
fuel selection.
ENGINE COOLANT
TEMPERATURE GAUGE
13L151
"
Normal range
The gauge indicates the engine coolant temperature when
the ignition switch is on. The engine operating
temperature will vary with changes in weather and engine
load.
If the needle points to the red zone or higher, stop your vehicle
and allow the engine to cool.
Your vehicle may overheat during severe operating conditions,
such as:
D Driving up a long hill on a hot day.
D Reducing speed or stopping after high speed driving.
Page 100
GAUGES, METERS AND SERVICE REMINDER INDICATORS

D Idling for a long period with the air conditioning on in
stop-and-go traffic.
D Towing a trailer.
NOTICE
D
Do not remove the thermostat in the engine cooling
system as this may cause the engine to overheat. The
thermostat is designed to control the flow of coolant
to keep the temperature of the engine within the
specified operating range.
D
Do not continue driving with an overheated engine.
See “If your vehicle overheats” on page 401.
TACHOMETER
13L144
The tachometer indicates engine speed in thousands of
rpm (revolutions per minute). Use it while driving to
prevent engine over-revving.
Driving with the engine running too fast causes excessive
engine wear and poor fuel economy. Remember, in most
cases the slower the engine speed, the greater the fuel
economy.
NOTICE
Do not let the indicator needle get into the red zone. This
may cause severe engine damage.
