Reporting safety defects for US owners

If you believe that your vehicle has a defect which could cause a crash or
could cause death or injury, you should immediately inform the National
Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) in addition to notifying the
Lexus Division of Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A., Inc. (Toll-free: 1-800-25­LEXUS).

n If NHTSA receives similar complaints

It may open an investigation, and if it finds that a safety defect exists in a group of vehicles, it may order a recall and remedy campaign.

However, NHTSA cannot become involved in individual problems between you, your dealer, or the Lexus Division of Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A., Inc.

n To contact NHTSA

You may either call the Auto Safety Hotline toll-free at 1-800-424­9393 (or 366-0123 in Washington, D.C. area) or write to: NHTSA,
U.S. Department of Transportation, the Washington, D.C. 20590.

You can also obtain other information about motor vehicle safety from the Hotline.

Fuel information

Your vehicle must use only unleaded gasoline. Select premium unleaded gasoline with an Octane Rating of 91 (Research Octane Number 96) or higher for optimum engine performance.

At minimum, the gasoline you use should meet the specifications of ASTM D4814 in the USA and CGSB 3.5-M93 in Canada.

n Fuel tank opening for unleaded gasoline

l To help prevent incorrect fueling, your Lexus has a fuel tank opening that will

only accept the special nozzle on unleaded fuel pumps.

l If premium fuel is not available, you may temporarily use unleaded gasoline with

an Octane Rating as low as 87 (Research Octane Number 91).

n If your engine knocks ...

l Consult your Lexus dealer. l You may occasionally notice light knocking for a short time while accelerating

or driving up hills. This is normal and there is no need for concern.

n Gasoline quality

In very few cases, driveability problems may be caused by the brand of gasoline you are using. If driveability problems persist, try changing the brand of gasoline. If this does not correct the problem, consult your Lexus dealer.

n Gasoline quality standards

l Automotive manufacturers in the US, Europe and Japan have developed a

specification for fuel quality called World-Wide Fuel Charter (WWFC) that is
expected to be applied worldwide.

l The WWFC consists of four categories that are based on required emission

levels. In the US, category 3 has been adopted.

l The WWFC improves air quality by lowering emissions in vehicle fleets, and

customer satisfaction through better vehicle performance.

Vehicle specifications

6-1. Specifications

n Lexus recommends the use of gasoline containing detergent additives

l Lexus recommends the use of gasoline that contains detergent additives to

avoid build-up of engine deposits.

l All gasoline sold in the US contains detergent additives to clean and/or keep

clean intake systems.

n Lexus recommends the use of cleaner burning gasoline

Cleaner burning gasoline, including reformulated gasoline that contains oxygen­ates such as ethanol or MTBE (Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether) is available in many
areas.

Lexus recommends the use of cleaner burning gasoline and appropriately blended
reformulated gasoline. These types of gasoline provide excellent vehicle perfor­mance, reduce vehicle emissions, and improve air quality.

n Lexus does not recommend blended gasoline

l Lexus allows the use of oxygenate blended gasoline where the oxygenate con-

tent is up to 10% ethanol or 15% MTBE.

l If you use gasohol in your Lexus, be sure that it has an octane rating no lower

than 87.

l Lexus DOES NOT recommend the use of gasoline containing methanol.

n Lexus does not recommend gasoline containing MMT

Some gasolines contain an octane enhancing additive called MMT (Methylcyclo­pentadienyl Manganese Tricarbonyl).

Lexus DOES NOT recommend the use of gasoline that contains MMT. If fuel con­taining MMT is used, your emission control system may be adversely affected.

The Malfunction Indicator Lamp on the instrument cluster may come on. If this hap­pens, contact your Lexus dealer for service.

374

6-1. Specifications

NOTICE

n Notice of gasoline quality

l Do not use leaded gasoline.

Leaded gasoline can cause damage to your vehicle’s three-way catalytic convert­ers causing the emission control system to malfunction.

l Do not use gasohol other than stated above.

It will cause fuel system damage or vehicle performance problems.

l Use of unleaded fuel with an octane number or rating lower than stated above

will cause persistent heavy knocking.
If severe, this will lead to engine damage.

n Fuel-related poor driveability

If after using a different type of fuel, poor driveability is encountered (poor hot start­ing, vaporization, engine knocking, etc.), discontinue the use of that type of fuel.

n When refueling with gasohol

Take care not to spill gasohol: It may cause paint damage.

It provides the purchasers and/or prospective purchasers of Lexus vehi­cles with information on uniform tire quality grading.

Your Lexus dealer will help answer any questions you may have as you read this information.

n DOT quality grades

All passenger vehicle tires must conform to Federal Safety Require­ments in addition to these grades. Quality grades can be found where
applicable on the tire sidewall between tread shoulder and maximum
section width.

For example: Tread wear 200 Traction AA Temperature A

379

6

Vehicle specifications

6-1. Specifications

n Tread wear

The tread wear grade is a comparative rating based on the wear rate of
the tire when tested under controlled conditions on a specified gov­ernment test course.

For example, a tire graded 150 would wear one and a half (1 - 1/2) times as
well on the government course as a tire graded 100.
The relative performance of tires depends upon the actual conditions of
their use, however, and may depart significantly from the norm due to varia­tions in driving habits, service practices and differences in road characteris­tics and climate.

n Traction AA, A, B, C

The traction grades, from highest to lowest, are AA, A, B and C, and they represent the tire’s ability to stop on wet pavement as measured under controlled conditions on specified government test surfaces of asphalt and concrete.

A tire marked C may have poor traction performance.

Warning: The traction grade assigned to this tire is based on braking
(straight ahead) traction tests and does not include cornering (turning) trac­tion.

380

6-1. Specifications

n Temperature A, B, C

The temperature grades are A (the highest), B, and C, representing the tire’s resistance to the generation of heat and its ability to dissipate heat when tested under controlled conditions on a specified indoor laboratory test wheel.

Sustained high temperature can cause the material of the tire to degenerate
and reduce tire life, and excessive temperature can lead to sudden tire fail­ure.

The grade C corresponds to a level of performance which all passenger car tires must meet under the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 109.

Grades B and A represent higher levels of performance on the laboratory test wheel than the minimum required by law.

Warning: The temperature grades for this tire are established for a tire that
is properly inflated and not overloaded.
Excessive speed, under inflation, or excessive loading, either separately or
in combination, can cause heat buildup and possible tire failure.
