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 sys-
tem/sequential multiport fuel injec­tion system
Lexus Safety System +
Cruise control system
Anti-lock brake system
Vehicle dynamics integrated man-
agement
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 recording
The vehicle is equipped with sophisti­cated computers that will record cer­tain data, such as:
• Engine speed / Electric motor speed (traction motor speed)
• Accelerator status
•Brake status
• Vehicle speed
• Operation status of the driving assist systems
• Images from the cameras
Your vehicle is equipped with cameras. Contact your Lexus dealer for the location of recording cameras.
The recorded data varies according to the vehicle grade level and options with which it is equipped.
These computers do not record con­versations or sounds, and only record images outside of the vehicle in certain situations.
Data usage
Lexus may use the data recorded in this computer 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 lawsuit
• For research purposes where the data is not tied to a specific vehicle or vehicle owner
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
Page 9
7
WARNING
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 lawsuit
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 information about the specific vehicle or vehicle owner
Scrapping of your Lexus
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.
■
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.

WARNING
1-1.For safe use
1-1. For safe use

Before driving

tion.
Observe the following before start­ing off in the vehicle to ensure safety of driving.
Installing floor mats
Use only floor mats designed specifi­cally for vehicles of the same model and model year as your vehicle. Fix them securely in place onto the carpet.
1 Insert the retaining hooks (clips)
into the floor mat eyelets.
2 Turn the upper knob of each retain-
ing hook (clip) to secure the floor mats in place.
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.
Always align the marks.
The shape of the retaining hooks (clips) may differ from that shown in the illustra-
A
●
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 mat.
Page 23

For safe driving

WARNING
C
For safe driving, adjust the seat and mirror to an appropriate position before driving.
Correct driving posture
Adjust the angle of the seatback so
A
that you are sitting straight up and so that you do not have to lean for­ward to steer. (P.95)
Adjust the seat so that you can
B
depress the pedals fully and so that your arms bend slightly at the elbow when gripping the steering wheel. (P.95)
Wear the seat belt correctly. (P.22)
1-1. For safe use
●
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.
●
Always observe the legal speed limit when driving on public roads.
●
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.
Correct use of the seat belts
Make sure that all occupants are wear­ing their seat belts before driving the vehicle. (P.22) Use a child restraint system appropri­ate for the child until the child becomes large enough to properly wear the vehicle’s seat belt. (P.34)

For safety and security
■
For safe driving
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.
Adjusting the mirrors
Make sure that you can see backward clearly by adjusting the inside and out­side rear view mirrors properly. (P.101, 102)
Page 24

WARNING
1-1. For safe use

Seat belts

Make sure that all occupants are wearing their seat belts before driv­ing the vehicle.
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.
■
Pregnant women
Obtain medical advice and wear the seat belt in the proper way. (
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.23)
P.23)
●
Do not wear the shoulder belt under your arm.
●

Seat belt pretensioners
Seat belt guide
When fastening a front seat belt, ensure that it is passed through the seat belt guide. Passing the seat belt through the guide enables the seat belt to be easily extended.
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.
Page 27

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 threshold 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 speed of 20 - 30 km/h [12 ­18 mph]).
●
The SRS side and curtain shield airbags will deploy in the event of a severe frontal collision.
■
Conditions under which the SRS airbags may deploy (inflate), other than a collision
The SRS front airbags and SRS side and curtain shield airbags may also deploy if a serious impact occurs to the underside of your vehicle. Some examples are shown in the illustration.
●
Hitting a curb, edge of pavement or hard surface
●
Falling into or jumping over a deep hole
●
Landing hard or falling
■
Types of collisions that may not deploy the SRS airbags (SRS front airbags)
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.

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 serious 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.
●
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.34)
Page 33
WARNING
●
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.
1-1. For safe use
●
Do not allow anyone to kneel on the passenger 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.

Page 34
32
WARNING
1-1. For safe use
●
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.
●
Do not strike or apply significant levels of force to the area of the SRS airbag components. 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.
■
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 or winches
●
Modifications to the vehicle’s suspen­sion system
●
Installation of electronic devices such as mobile two-way radios (RF-trans­mitter) and CD players
●
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.

Choose a child restraint system
appropriate to the age and size of the child.
Note that not all child restraint sys-
tems can fit in all vehicles. Before using or purchasing a child restraint system, check the compati­bility of the child restraint system with seat positions.
■
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 which is correctly installed. For installa­tion details, refer to the operation man­ual enclosed with the child restraint system. General installation instruction is provided in this manual.
■
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.38) 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.
●

■
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 facing 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 visor, indicating it is forbidden to attach a rear-facing child restraint system to the front passenger seat. Details of the label(s) are shown in the illustration below.

Trunk

The trunk can be opened using the trunk opener switch, entry function or wireless remote control.
Observe the following precautions. Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.
■
Before driving
●
Make sure that the trunk lid is fully closed. If the trunk lid is not fully closed, it may open unexpectedly while driving and hit near-by objects or luggage in the trunk may be thrown out, causing an accident.
●
Do not allow children to play in the trunk. If a child is accidentally locked in the trunk, they could suffer from heat exhaustion, suffocation or other inju­ries.
●
Remove any heavy loads, such as snow and ice, from the trunk lid before opening it. Failure to do so may cause the trunk lid to suddenly shut again after it is opened.
●
When opening or closing the trunk lid, thoroughly check to make sure the surrounding area is safe.
●
If anyone is in the vicinity, make sure they are safe and let them know that the trunk is about to open or close.
●
Use caution when opening or closing the trunk lid in windy weather as it may move abruptly in strong wind.
●
On an incline it is more difficult to open or close the trunk lid than on a level surface, so beware of the trunk lid unexpectedly opening or closing by itself. Make sure that the trunk lid is fully open and secure before using the trunk.
●
When opening the trunk lid, take care so that it does not hit anyone in the face or any other part of the body.
●
Do not allow a child to open or close the trunk lid. Doing so may cause the trunk lid to open unexpectedly, or cause the child’s hands, head, or neck to be caught by the closing trunk lid.
■
Important points while driving
Never let anyone sit in the trunk. In the event of sudden braking or a collision, they are susceptible to death or serious injury.
■
Using the trunk
Observe the following precautions. Failure to do so may cause parts of the body to be caught, resulting in serious injury.
●
When closing the trunk lid, take extra care to prevent your fingers etc. from being caught.

As long as the electronic key is within the effective range, the doors may be locked or unlocked by anyone. However, only the doors detecting the electronic key can be used to unlock the vehicle.
●
Even if the electronic key is not inside the vehicle, it may be possible to start the engine if the electronic key is near the window.
●
The doors may unlock or lock if a large amount of water splashes on the door handle, such as in the rain or in a car wash, when the electronic key is within the effective range. (The doors will auto­matically be locked after approximately 30 seconds if the doors are not opened and closed.)
●
If the wireless remote control is used to lock the doors when the electronic key is near the vehicle, there is a possibility that the door may not be unlocked by the entry function. (Use the wireless remote control to unlock the doors.)
●
Touching the door lock or unlock sensor while wearing gloves may prevent lock or unlock operation.
●
When the lock operation is performed using the lock sensor, recognition signals will be shown up to two consecutive times. After this, no recognition signals will be given.
●
If the door handle becomes wet while the electronic key is within the effective range, the door may lock and unlock repeatedly. In this case, follow the follow­ing correction procedures to wash the vehicle:
• Place the electronic key in a location 2 m (6 ft.) or more away from the vehicle. (Take care to ensure that the key is not stolen.)
• Set the electronic key to battery-saving mode to disable the smart entry & start system. (P.92)
