For your information
Main Owner’s Manual
Please note that this manual applies to all models and explains all equipment, including
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. However,
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 illustrations 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. Using these spare parts and accessories which are not
genuine Lexus products may adversely affect the safety of your vehicle, even though
these parts may be approved by certain authorities in your country. Toyota Motor Corporation therefore cannot accept any liability or guarantee spare parts and accessories
which are not genuine Lexus products, nor for replacement or installation involving such
parts.
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.
Installation of an RF-transmitter system
The installation of an RF-transmitter system in your vehicle could affect electronic
systems such as:
● Multiport fuel injection system/sequential multiport fuel injection system
● Dynamic radar cruise control system
● Cruise control system
● Anti-lock brake system
● Vehicle dynamics integrated management
● SRS airbag system
● Seat belt pretensioner system
Be sure to check with your Lexus dealer for precautionary measures or special
instructions regarding installation of an RF-transmitter system.
Further information regarding frequency bands, power levels, antenna positions and
installation provisions for the installation of RF-transmitters, is available on request at
your Lexus dealer.
Vehicle data recordings
NOT FOR REPRODUCTION
Your Lexus is equipped with several sophisticated computers that will record certain
data, such as:
• Engine speed
• Accelerator status
•Brake status
• Vehicle speed
•Shift position
The recorded data varies according to the vehicle grade level and options with which it is
equipped. Furthermore, these computers do not record conversations, sounds or pictures.
● Data usage
Lexus may use the data recorded in these computers to diagnose malfunctions, conduct research and development, and improve quality.
Lexus will not disclose the recorded data to a third party except:
• With the consent of the vehicle owner or with the consent of the lessee if the vehicle
is leased
• In response to an official request by the police, a court of law or a government
agency
• For use by Lexus in a law suit
• For research purposes where the data is not tied to a specific vehicle or vehicle
owner

NOT FOR REPRODUCTION
Event data recorder
This vehicle is equipped with an event data recorder (EDR). The main purpose of an EDR
is to record, in certain crash or near crash-like situations, such as an airbag deployment
or hitting a road obstacle, data that will assist in understanding how a vehicle’s systems
performed. The EDR is designed to record data related to vehicle dynamics and safety
systems for a short period of time, typically 30 seconds or less. However, data may not
be recorded depending on the severity and type of a crash.
The EDR in this vehicle is designed to record such data as:
• How various systems in your vehicle were operating;
• How far (if at all) the driver was depressing the accelerator and/or brake pedal; and,
• How fast the vehicle was traveling.
These data can help provide a better understanding of the circumstances in which
crashes and injuries occur.
NOTE: EDR data are recorded by your vehicle only if a non-trivial crash situation occurs;
no data are recorded by the EDR under normal driving conditions and no personal data
(e.g., name, gender, age, and crash location) are recorded. However, other parties, such
as law enforcement, could combine the EDR data with the type of personally identifying
data routinely acquired during a crash investigation.
To read data recorded by an EDR, special equipment is required, and access to the vehicle or the EDR is needed. In addition to the vehicle manufacturer, other parties, such as
law enforcement, that have the special equipment, can read the information if they have
access to the vehicle or the EDR.
● Disclosure of the EDR data
Lexus will not disclose the data recorded in an EDR to a third party except when:
• An agreement from the vehicle’s owner (or the lessee for a leased vehicle) is
obtained
• In response to an official request by the police, a court of law or a government
agency
• For use by Lexus in a law suit
However, if necessary, Lexus may:
• Use the data for research on vehicle safety performance
• Disclose the data to a third party for research purposes without disclosing informa-
tion about the specific vehicle or vehicle owner
Scrapping of your Lexus
NOT FOR REPRODUCTION
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.
WA R N I N G
■ 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 could result in death or serious injury.
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 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.

Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may cause the driver’s floor mat to slip, possibly interfering with the pedals while driving. An unexpectedly high speed may result or it may become difficult to
stop the vehicle. This could lead to an accident, resulting in death or serious injury.
■ When installing the driver’s floor mat
● Do not use floor mats designed for other models or different model year vehicles,
even if they are Lexus Genuine floor mats.
● Only use floor mats designed for the driver’s seat.
● Always install the floor mat securely using the retaining hooks (clips) provided.
● Do not use two or more floor mats on top of each other.
● Do not place the floor mat bottom-side up or upside-down.
■ Before driving
● Check that the floor mat is securely fixed in
the correct place with all the provided retaining hooks (clips). Be especially careful to perform this check after cleaning the floor.
● With the engine stopped and the shift lever in
P, fully depress each pedal to the floor to
make sure it does not interfere with the floor

Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.
● Do not adjust the position of the driver’s seat while driving.
Doing so could cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle.
● Do not place a cushion between the driver or passenger and the seatback.
A cushion may prevent correct posture from being achieved, and reduce the effectiveness of the seat belt and head restraint.
● Do not place anything under the front seats.
Objects placed under the front seats may become jammed in the seat tracks and stop
the seat from locking in place. This may lead to an accident and the adjustment mechanism may also be damaged.
● When driving over long distances, take regular breaks before you start to feel tired.
Also, if you feel tired or sleepy while driving, do not force yourself to continue driving
and take a break immediately.

Seat belt pretensioners
The pretensioners help the seat belts to
quickly restrain the occupants by
retracting the seat belts when the vehicle is subjected to certain types of
severe frontal collision.
The front seat belt pretensioners also
activate when the vehicle is subjected to
certain types of severe side collision.
The pretensioners do not activate in the
event of a minor frontal impact, a minor
side impact, a rear impact or a vehicle
rollover.

The retractor will lock the belt during a sudden stop or on impact. It may also lock if you
lean forward too quickly. A slow, easy motion will allow the belt to extend so that you can
move around fully.
The seat belts of your vehicle were principally designed for persons of adult size.
● Use a child restraint system appropriate for the child, until the child becomes large
enough to properly wear the vehicle’s seat belt. (→P. 54 )
● When the child becomes large enough to properly wear the vehicle’s seat belt, follow
the instructions regarding seat belt usage. (→P. 3 4)
If the vehicle is involved in multiple collisions, the pretensioner will activate for the first
collision, but will not activate for the second or subsequent collisions.
If seat belt regulations exist in the country where you reside, please contact your Lexus
dealer for seat belt replacement or installation.

Observe the following precautions to reduce the risk of injury in the event of sudden
braking, sudden swerving or an accident.
Failure to do so may cause death or serious injury.
■ Wearing a seat belt
● Ensure that all passengers wear a seat belt.
● Always wear a seat belt properly.
● Each seat belt should be used by one person only. Do not use a seat belt for more
than one person at once, including children.
● Lexus recommends that children be seated in the rear seat and always use a seat belt
and/or an appropriate child restraint system.
● To achieve a proper seating position, do not recline the seat more than necessary. The
seat belt is most effective when the occupants are sitting up straight and well back in
the seats.
● Do not wear the shoulder belt under your arm.
● Always wear your seat belt low and snug across your hips.
■ Pregnant women
Obtain medical advice and wear the seat belt
in the proper way. (→P. 3 4)
Women who are pregnant should position the
lap belt as low as possible over the hips in the
same manner as other occupants, extending
the shoulder belt completely over the shoulder
and avoiding belt contact with the rounding of
the abdominal area.
If the seat belt is not worn properly, not only the
pregnant woman, but also the fetus could suffer
death or serious injury as a result of sudden
braking or a collision.

■ People suffering illness
Obtain medical advice and wear the seat belt in the proper way. (→P. 3 4)
■ When children are in the vehicle
Do not allow children to play with the seat belt. If the seat belt becomes twisted around
a child’s neck, it may lead to choking or other serious injuries that could result in death.
If this occurs and the buckle cannot be unfastened, scissors should be used to cut the
belt.
■ Seat belt pretensioners
If the pretensioner has activated, the SRS warning light will come on. In that case, the
seat belt cannot be used again and must be replaced at your Lexus dealer.
■ Seat belt damage and wear
● Do not damage the seat belts by allowing the belt, plate, or buckle to be jammed in
the door.
● Inspect the seat belt system periodically. Check for cuts, fraying, and loose parts. Do
not use a damaged seat belt until it is replaced. Damaged seat belts cannot protect an
occupant from death or serious injury.
● Ensure that the belt and plate are locked and the belt is not twisted.
If the seat belt does not function correctly, immediately contact your Lexus dealer.
● Replace the seat assembly, including the belts, if your vehicle has been involved in a
serious accident, even if there is no obvious damage.
● Do not attempt to install, remove, modify, disassemble or dispose of the seat belts.
Have any necessary repairs carried out by your Lexus dealer. Inappropriate handling
may lead to incorrect operation.
■ When using the seat belt guide
● Always make sure that the belt is not twisted, and runs freely through the guide.
● Regardless of whether the guide is used or not, always secure the seat belt guide but-
ton.
● Do not hang from or pull the guide forcefully.

SRS airbags
The SRS airbags inflate when the vehicle is subjected to certain types of
severe impacts that may cause significant injury to the occupants. They work
together with the seat belts to help reduce the risk of death or serious injury.

The main SRS airbag system and Pop Up Hood components are shown above.
The SRS airbag system and Pop Up Hood are controlled by the airbag sensor
assembly. As the airbags deploy, a chemical reaction in the inflators quickly fills
the airbags with non-toxic gas to help restrain the motion of the occupants.
When the Pop Up Hood is activated, a non-toxic gas is released due to a chemical reaction in the lifters, which causes the pistons to eject quickly and raise the
rear portion of the hood. (Pop Up Hood: →P. 5 0)

■ SRS airbag precautions
Observe the following precautions regarding the SRS airbags.
Failure to do so may cause death or serious injury.
● The driver and all passengers in the vehicle must wear their seat belts properly.
The SRS airbags are supplemental devices to be used with the seat belts.
● The SRS driver airbag deploys with considerable force, and can cause death or seri-
ous injury especially if the driver is very close to the airbag.
Since the risk zone for the driver’s airbag is the first 50 - 75 mm (2 - 3 in.) of inflation,
placing yourself 250 mm (10 in.) from your driver airbag provides you with a clear
margin of safety. This distance is measured from the center of the steering wheel to
your breastbone. If you sit less than 250 mm (10 in.) away now, you can change your
driving position in several ways:
• Move your seat to the rear as far as you can while still reaching the pedals comfortably.
• Slightly recline the back of the seat.
Although vehicle designs vary, many drivers can achieve the 250 mm (10 in.) distance, even with the driver seat all the way forward, simply by reclining the back of
the seat somewhat. If reclining the back of your seat makes it hard to see the road,
raise yourself by using a firm, non-slippery cushion, or raise the seat if your vehicle
has that feature.
• If your steering wheel is adjustable, tilt it downward. This points the airbag toward
your chest instead of your head and neck.
The seat should be adjusted as recommended above, while still maintaining control
of the foot pedals, steering wheel, and your view of the instrument panel controls.

■ SRS airbag precautions
● The SRS front passenger airbag also deploys with considerable force, and can cause
death or serious injury especially if the front passenger is very close to the airbag. The
front passenger seat should be as far from the airbag as possible with the seatback
adjusted, so the front passenger sits upright.
● Improperly seated and/or restrained infants and children can be killed or seriously
injured by a deploying airbag. An infant or child who is too small to use a seat belt
should be properly secured using a child restraint system. Lexus strongly recommends that all infants and children be placed in the rear seats of the vehicle and properly restrained. The rear seats are safer for infants and children than the front
passenger seat. (→P. 54 )
● Do not sit on the edge of the seat or lean
against the dashboard.
● Do not allow a child to stand in front of the
SRS front passenger airbag unit or sit on the
knees of a front passenger.
● Do not allow the front seat occupants to hold
items on their knees.
● Do not lean against the door, the roof side rail
or the front, side and rear pillars.
WA R N I N G
NOT FOR REPRODUCTION
■ SRS airbag precautions
● Do not allow anyone to kneel on the passen-
ger seats toward the door or put their head or
hands outside the vehicle.
● Do not attach anything to or lean anything
against areas such as the dashboard, steering
wheel pad and lower portion of the instrument panel.
These items can become projectiles when the
SRS driver, front passenger and knee airbags
deploy.
● Do not attach anything to areas such as a door,
windshield, side window, front or rear pillar,
roof side rail and assist grip.
(Except for the speed limit sticker →P. 5 42 )

For safety and security
● Do not hang coat hangers or hard objects on the coat hooks. All of these items could
become projectiles and may cause death or serious injury, should the SRS curtain
shield airbags deploy.
● If a vinyl cover is put on the area where the SRS knee airbag will deploy, be sure to
remove it.
● Do not use seat accessories which cover the parts where the SRS side airbags inflate
as they may interfere with inflation of the airbags. Such accessories may prevent the
side airbags from activating correctly, disable the system or cause the side airbags to
inflate accidentally, resulting in death or serious injury.

■ SRS airbag precautions
● Do not strike or apply significant levels of force to the area of the SRS airbag compo-
nents.
Doing so can cause the SRS airbags to malfunction.
● Do not touch any of the component parts immediately after the SRS airbags have
deployed (inflated) as they may be hot.
● If breathing becomes difficult after the SRS airbags have deployed, open a door or
window to allow fresh air in, or leave the vehicle if it is safe to do so. Wash off any residue as soon as possible to prevent skin irritation.
● If the areas where the SRS airbags are stored, such as the steering wheel pad and
front and rear pillar garnishes are damaged or cracked, have them replaced by your
Lexus dealer.
■ Modification and disposal of SRS airbag system components
Do not dispose of your vehicle or perform any of the following modifications without
consulting your Lexus dealer. The SRS airbags may malfunction or deploy (inflate)
accidentally, causing death or serious injury.
● Installation, removal, disassembly and repair of the SRS airbags
● Repairs, modifications, removal or replacement of the steering wheel, instrument
panel, dashboard, seats or seat upholstery, front, side and rear pillars or roof side rails
● Repairs or modifications of the front fender, front bumper, or side of the occupant
compartment
● Installation of a grille guard (bull bars, kangaroo bar, etc.), snow plows, winches
● Modifications to the vehicle’s suspension system
● Installation of electronic devices such as mobile two-way radios (RF-transmitter) and
CD players
● Modifications to your vehicle for a person with a physical disability
1-1. For safe use
NOT FOR REPRODUCTION
■ If the SRS airbags deploy (inflate)
● Slight abrasions, burns, bruising etc., may be sustained from SRS airbags, due to the
extremely high speed deployment (inflation) by hot gases.
● A loud noise and white powder will be emitted.
● Parts of the airbag module (steering wheel hub, airbag cover and inflator) as well as the
front seats, parts of the front and rear pillars, and roof side rails may be hot for several
minutes. The airbag itself may also be hot.
● The windshield may crack.
■ SRS airbag deployment conditions (SRS front airbags)
● The SRS front airbags will deploy in the event of an impact that exceeds the set thresh-
old level (the level of force corresponding to an approximately 20 - 30 km/h [12 - 18
mph] frontal collision with a fixed wall that does not move or deform).
However, this threshold velocity will be considerably higher in the following situations:
• If the vehicle strikes an object, such as a parked vehicle or sign pole, which can move
or deform on impact
• If the vehicle is involved in an underride collision, such as a collision in which the
front of the vehicle “underrides”, or goes under, the bed of a truck
● Depending on the type of collision, it is possible that only the seat belt pretensioners will
activate.
■ SRS airbag deployment conditions (SRS side and curtain shield airbags)
● The SRS side and curtain shield airbags will deploy in the event of an impact that
exceeds the set threshold level (the level of force corresponding to the impact force
produced by an approximately 1500 kg [3300 lb.] vehicle colliding with the vehicle
cabin from a direction perpendicular to the vehicle orientation at an approximate
sp eed of 20 - 30 km/h [12 - 18 mph]).
● The SRS side and curtain shield airbags will deploy in the event of a severe frontal colli-
sion.

impact occurs to the underside of your vehicle. Some examples are shown in the illustration.
● Hitting a curb, edge of pavement or hard sur-
face
● Falling into or jumping over a deep hole
● Landing hard or falling
The SRS front airbags do not generally inflate if the vehicle is involved in a side or rear
collision, if it rolls over, or if it is involved in a low-speed frontal collision. But, whenever a
collision of any type causes sufficient forward deceleration of the vehicle, deployment of
the SRS front airbags may occur.

Pop Up Hood (RC350/RC200t)
In the event of a frontal collision with a body, such as a pedestrian, the Pop Up
Hood system raises the rear portion of the hood to reduce the possibility of a
serious impact to the pedestrian’s head area by adding clearance to the
engine compartment.
Pop Up Hood mechanism
When the sensors located at the back of the front bumper detect an impact with
a body, such as a pedestrian, which meets or exceeds the threshold level while
the vehicle is being driven within the operational speed range, the system
becomes operational and raises the rear portion of the hood.

Pop Up Hood operational conditions
The Pop Up Hood will operate when the vehicle detects an impact such as the
following:
● The front bumper detects a frontal impact equivalent to or greater than that of
a pedestrian while the vehicle being driven within the operational speed range
of approximately 25 to 55 km/h (16 to 34 mph). (The system is operated by
an impact of threshold level or greater, even in the case of a minor collision
that may not leave a trace on the front bumper. Also, depending on the impact
conditions or vehicle speed, the system may be operated by a collision with a
light or small object or a small animal.)
● In other situations the system may operate when an impact is applied to the
lower part of the vehicle or front bumper, such as the following:
• Colliding with a curb
• Falling into a deep hole
•Landing hard
• Hitting the slope of a parking lot, an undulating road, a protruding object or
falling object

■ When the Pop Up Hood is operated
● Do not pull the hood lock release lever. Doing so after the Pop Up Hood has oper-
ated will further raise the hood and may cause an injury.
Do not drive with the hood raised, as doing so may block the driver’s vision, possibly
causing an accident.
Do not forcibly push down the hood. As the popped up hood cannot be lowered by
hand, doing so may deform the hood or cause an injury.
If the Pop Up Hood has operated, have the vehicle inspected by your Lexus dealer. If
the Pop Up Hood has operated, stop the vehicle in a safe place and contact your
Lexus dealer.
● Do not touch the lifters immediately after the Pop Up Hood has operated, as the lift-

■ Conditions under which the Pop Up Hood may not operate properly
The Pop Up Hood may not operate properly under the following conditions:
● If a pedestrian collides with the right or left corner of the front bumper or the side of the
vehicle. As such impacts may be difficult to detect, the system may not operate.
● If the vehicle speed is not detected correctly, such as if the vehicle is sliding sideways,
the system may not operate properly.
■ Conditions under which the Pop Up Hood may not operate
The Pop Up Hood may not operate in the following situations:
● Colliding with a lying pedestrian
● A frontal impact applied to the front bumper while driving at speeds outside of the
operational speed range
● A side impact or rear impact
● A vehicle rollover (In some accident situations, the Pop Up Hood may operate.)
NOTICE
■ Pop Up Hood precautions
● Make sure to close the hood before driving, as the system may not operate properly if
the hood is not fully closed.
● Make sure that all 4 tires are of the specified size and inflated to the specified tire
pressure (→P. 582). If tires of a different size are used, the system may not operate
properly.
● If something has hit the area around the front bumper, the sensors may be damaged
even if the Pop Up Hood has not operated. Have the vehicle inspected by your Lexus
dealer.
● Do not remove or repair the parts or wiring of the Pop Up Hood, as doing so may
cause accidental operation or prevent the system from operating properly. If repair or
replacement is necessary, contact your Lexus dealer.
● Do not remove such components as the front bumper, hood or suspension, or
replace them with non-genuine parts, as doing so may prevent the system from operating properly.
● Do not install anything to the front bumper or hood, as doing so may prevent the sen-
sors from detecting an impact correctly and prevent the system from operating properly.
● Do not close the hood with force or apply load to the lifters, as doing so may damage
the lifters and prevent the system from operating properly.
● Do not modify the suspension, as changes made to the vehicle height may prevent
the system from operating properly.

■ When a child is riding
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.
● For effective protection in automobile accidents and sudden stops, a child must be
properly restrained, using a seat belt or child restraint system depending on the age
and size of the child.
● Lexus strongly urges the use of a proper child restraint system that conforms to the
size of the child, installed on the rear seat. According to accident statistics, the child is
safer when properly restrained in the rear seat than in the front seat.
● Holding a child in your or someone else’s arms is not a substitute for a child restraint
system. In an accident, the child can be crushed against the windshield or between
the holder and the interior of the vehicle.
● Place one child to a child restraint system and then secure the child with the harness
of the child restraint system.
■ Handling the child restraint system
If the child restraint system is not properly fixed in place, the child or other passengers
may be seriously injured or even killed in the event of sudden braking, sudden swerving, or an accident.
● If the vehicle were to receive a strong impact from an accident, etc., it is possible that
the child restraint system has damage that is not readily visible. In such cases, do not
reuse the restraint system.
● Depending on the child restraint system, installation may be difficult or impossible. In
those cases, check whether the child restraint system is suitable for installment in the
vehicle. (→P. 64, 70) Be sure to install and observe the usage rules after carefully
reading the child restraint system fixing method in this manual, as well as the operation manual enclosed with the child restraint system.
● Keep the child restraint system properly secured on the seat even if it is not in use. Do
not store the child restraint system unsecured in the passenger compartment.
● If it is necessary to detach the child restraint system, remove it from the vehicle or
store it securely in the trunk.

■ When installing a child restraint system
Observe the following when installing child restraint system to the front passenger seat
if it is unavoidable. The front passenger SRS airbag inflates with considerable speed
and force that if not observed may lead to death or serious injury to the child.
● Extreme Hazard! Do not use a rearward fac-
ing child restraint on a seat protected by an
airbag in front of it! This is because the force
of the rapid inflation of the front passenger
airbag can cause death or serious injury to
the child.
There is a label(s) on the passenger side sun

■ When installing a child restraint system
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.
● Do not allow children to play with the seat belt. If the seat belt becomes twisted
around a child’s neck, it may lead to choking or other serious injuries that could result
in death. If this occurs and the buckle cannot be unfastened, scissors should be used
to cut the belt.
● Ensure that the belt and plate are securely locked and the seat belt is not twisted.
● Shake the child restraint system left and right, and forward and backward to ensure
that it has been securely installed.
● After securing a child restraint system, never adjust the seat.
● When a junior seat (booster seat) is installed, always ensure that the shoulder belt is
positioned across the center of the child’s shoulder. The belt should be kept away
from the child’s neck, but not so that it could fall off the child’s shoulder.
● Follow all installation instructions provided by the child restraint system manufacturer.
