Please note that this manual applies to
all models and explains all equipment,
including options. Therefore, you may
find explanations for equipment not
installed on your vehicle and the illus-
trations used may differ from your vehi-
cle.
All specifications provided in this man-
ual are current at the time of printing.
Over time, your vehicle may receive
updates that modify the vehicle and
make material in this manual incom-
plete and/or inaccurate. Because of
Lexus’ interest in continual product
improvement, Lexus reserves the right
to make changes to this manual at any
time without notice.
If Lexus chooses to update the manual,
updated versions can be viewed by
selecting your vehicle by model and
year at the following URL or on your
mobile device if you have access to the
Lexus app.

Approximately five hours after the
hybrid system is turned off, you may
hear sound coming from under the
vehicle for several minutes. This is the
sound of a fuel evaporation leakage
check and, it does not indicate a mal-
function.A wide variety of non-genuine spare
parts and accessories for Lexus vehi-
cles are currently available in the mar-
ket. You should know that Toyota does
not warrant these products and is not
responsible for their performance,
repair, or replacement, or for any dam-
age they may cause to, or adverse
effect they may have on, your Lexus
vehicle.
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 vio-
late governmental regulations. In addi-
tion, damage or performance
problems resulting from the modifica-
tion may not be covered under war-
ranty.
Also, remodeling like this will have an
effect on advanced safety equipment
such as Lexus Safety System + 2.5 and
there is a danger that it will not work
properly or the danger that it may work
in situations where it should not be
working.
The installation of a mobile two-way
radio system in your vehicle could
affect electronic systems such as:

Hybrid system
 Multiport fuel injection sys-

tem/sequential multiport fuel injec-
tion system
 Lexus Safety System + 2.5
 Anti-lock brake system
 SRS airbag system
 Seat belt pretensioner system
Be sure to check with your Lexus
dealer for precautionary measures or
special instructions regarding installa-
tion of a mobile two-way radio system.
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 electro-
magnetic shielding.
Unwanted noise may occur in the
reception of the mobile two-way radio.
The vehicle is equipped with sophisti-
cated computers that will record cer-
tain 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 cam-
eras. 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 con-
versations or sounds, and only record
images outside of the vehicle in certain
situations.

Data Transmission
Your vehicle may transmit the data
recorded in these computers to Lexus
without notification to you.
Data usage
Lexus may use the data recorded in this
computer to diagnose malfunctions, con-
duct 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 vehi-
cle 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
 Recorded image information can be
erased by your Lexus dealer.
The image recording function can be dis-
abled. However, if the function is disabled,
data from when the system operates will
not be available.

This vehicle is equipped with an event
data recorder (EDR). The main pur-
pose of an EDR is to record, in certain
crash or near crash-like situations,
such as an air bag deployment or hit-
ting a road obstacle, data that will assist
in understanding how a vehicle’s sys-
tems performed. The EDR is designed
to record data related to vehicle
dynamics and safety systems for a
short period of time, typically 30 sec-
onds or less.
The EDR in this vehicle is designed to
record such data as:
 How various systems in your vehicle
were operating;
 Whether or not the driver and pas-
senger safety belts were buck-
led/fastened;
 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 th e 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 con-
ditions and no personal data (e.g.,
name, gender, age, and crash location)
are recorded. However, other parties,
such as law enforcement, could com-
bine the EDR data with the type of per-
sonally 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 man-
ufacturer, 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
