For your information
Main Owner’s Manual
Please note that this manual applies to all models and explains all equipment, includ-
ing options. Therefore, you may find some explanations for equipment not installed 
on y
 our vehicle. 
All specifications provided in this manual are current at the time of printing. How -
ever, because of the Lexus policy of contin ua
 l product improvement, we reserve the 
right to make changes at any time without notice.
Depending on specifications, the vehicle show n in 
 the illustration 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. You should know that Toyota does not warrant 
these products and is not responsible for  their performance, repair, or replacement, 
or for any damage 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 violate governmental regula tions. In addition, damage or perfor-
mance problems resulting from the modi fication may not be 
 covered under war-
ranty.
Installation of a mobile two-way radio system
As the installation of a mobile two-way ra dio system in your vehicle could affect 
electronic systems such as the hybrid system, multiport fuel injection system/
sequential multiport fuel injection system , cruise control system, vehicle dynamics 
integrated management, SRS airbag system  and seat belt pretensioner system, be 
sure to check with your Lexus dealer for precautionary measures or special instruc -
tions regarding installation.
High voltage parts and cables on the hybr i
 d 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 mobile two-way radio.

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 deal er before you scrap your vehicle.
Smart access system with push-button start
Users of any electrical medical devices such as implanted pacemakers should con -
sult the manufacturer of the device for information about its operation under the 
influence
  of radio waves. Radio waves could have unexpected effects on the opera -
tion of such me dical de
 vices. (P.  1 2 , 14 )
Leak detection pump (for the U.S.A. and Canada)
This pump performs fuel evaporation leakage check. This check is conducted sev -
eral hours after the hybrid system is turn ed of
 f. You may hear a sound coming from 
underneath the trunk for several minutes,  however this does not indicate a malfunc-
tion.

CAUTION
■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, im pair judgment and reduce coordination, 
which could lead to an accident that will hurt or kill you, your occupants or others.
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 at tention to driving. Anything that distracts 
the driver, such as adjusting controls, ta lking on a cellular phone or reading can 
result in a collision with resulting death or serious injury to you, your occupants or 
others.
■When children are in the vehicle
Never leave children unattended in the vehicle.
When left unattended, 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 cigarette lighter, the windows, the  moon roof, or other features of the vehi-
cle. In addition, heat build-up or extremel y cold temperatures inside the vehicle can 
be fatal to children.
■Dispose of the hybrid battery (traction battery)
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 connec-
tors are touched. In the event of that your vehicle must be disposed of, the hybrid 
battery must be disposed of your Lexus dealer or a qualified service shop. If the 
hybrid battery is not disposed of properly , they may cause electric shock that can 
result in death or serious injury.
