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 i n the illustrations may dif­fer from your vehicle in terms of color and equipment.

Accessories, spare parts and modification of your Lexus

Both genuine Lexus and a wide variety of other spare parts and accessories
for Lexus vehicles are currently available on the market. Should it be deter­mined that any of the genuine Lexus parts or accessories supplied with the
vehicle need to be replaced, Toyota Motor Corporation recommends that
genuine Lexus parts or accessories, be used to replace t hem. Other parts or
accessories of matching quality can also be used.

Lexus cannot accept any liability or guarantee spare parts and accessories
which are not genuine Lexus products, nor for replacement or installation
involving such parts. In addition, damage or performance problems resu lting
from the use of nongenuine Lexus spare parts or accessories may not be cov­ered under warranty.

26

CT200h_EE (OM76041E)

Installation of an RF-transmitter system

The installation of an RF-transmitter system in your vehicle could affect
electronic systems such as:

 Hybrid system
 Multiport fuel injection system/sequential multiport fuel injection system
 Dynamic radar cruise control
 Cruise control system
 Anti-lock brake system
 Vehicle dynamics integrated management
 SRS airbag system
 Seat belt pretensioner system

Be sure to check with any authorized Lexus dealer or repairer, or another
duly qualified and equipped professional for precautionary measures or spe­cial instructions regarding installation of an RF-transmitter syste m.

Further information regarding frequency bands, power levels, antenna posi­tions and installation provisions for the installation of RF-transmitters, is
available on request at any authorized Lexus dealer or repairer, or another
duly qualified and equipped professional.

High voltage parts and cables on the hybrid vehicles emit approximately the
same amount of electromagnetic waves as the conventional gasoline pow­ered vehicles or home electronic appliances despite of their electromagnetic
shielding.

Unwanted noise may occur in the reception of the RF-transmitter.

CT200h_EE (OM76041E)

27

Scrapping of your Lexus

CAUTION

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 quali fied service shop or by any authorized
Lexus dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and eq uipped prof essional
before you scrap your vehicle.

 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 reactio n time, imp air judg ment an d
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 collisio n with result ing d ea th or se riou s inju ry t o you ,
your occupants or others.

 General precaution regarding children’s safety

Never leave children unat tended in the vehi cle, and never all ow 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 or other features of the ve hicle. In addition, heat build-up or
extremely cold temperatures inside the vehicle can be fatal to children.

28

CT200h_EE (OM76041E)

CAUTION

 Disposal of the hybrid battery (traction battery)

Your vehicle contains batteries and/or accumulators. Do not discard them
into the environment but cooperate with separate collection (Directive
2006/66/EC).

If your vehicle is disposed of without the hybrid battery having been
removed, there is a danger of serious electric shock if high voltage parts,
cables and their connectors are touched. In the event that your vehicle must
be disposed of, the hybrid battery must be disposed of by any authorized
Lexus dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped profes­sional or a qualified service shop. If the hybrid battery is not disposed of
properly, it may cause electric shock that can result in death or serious
injury.
