■The interior lights and personal lights can be operated when
The interior lights and personal lights can be used regardless of the power switch mode.
However, when the power switch is turned off, they can be used only when the 12-volt
battery protection function is not operating.
■12-volt battery protection function
To prevent the 12-volt battery from being discharged, approximately 20 minutes after
the power switch is turned off, the power supplied to the interior lights, personal lights,
and other lights will be cut off automatically. (If th e interior lights, etc. are left on when the
power switch is turned off, they will be turned off automatically.)
To turn the interior lights, etc. back on, turn the power switch to ACCESSORY or ON
mode or operate the interior light switch until the interior lights turn on.
If any of the lights are illuminated automatically due to the illuminated entry system, the
12-volt battery protection function will be canceled.
■Illuminated entry system
The lights automatically turn on/off according to power switch mode, the presence of the
electronic key, whether the doors are locked/unlocked, and whether the doors are
opened/closed.
■Customization
Setting (e.g. the time elapsed before lights turn off) can be changed.
(Customizable features: →P. 5 9 1 )
NOTICE
To prevent 12-volt battery discharge, do not leave the lights on longer than necessary
when the hybrid system is off.

• After driving on salted roads
• If coal tar or tree sap is present on the paint surface
• If dead insects, insect droppings or bird droppings are present on the paint surface
• After driving in an area contaminated with soot, oi ly smoke, mine dust, iron pow-
der or chemical substances
• If the vehicle becomes heavily soiled with dust or mud
• If liquids such as benzene and gaso line are spilled on the paint surface
●If the paint is chipped or scratched, have it repaired immediately.
●To prevent the wheels from corroding, remove any dirt and store in a place with low
humidity when storing the wheels.
■Cleaning the exterior lights
●Wash carefully. Do not use organic substances or scrub with a hard brush.
This may damage the surfaces of the lights.
●Do not apply wax to the surfaces of the lights.
Wax may cause damage to the lenses.
■When using an automatic car wash (vehicles with rain-sensing windshield wipers)

■After a fuse is replaced
●If the lights do not turn on even after the fuse has been replaced, a bulb may need
replacement. (→P. 4 9 5 )
●If the replaced fuse blows again, have the vehicle inspected by any authorized Lexus
dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional.
■If there is an overload in a circuit
The fuses are designed to blow, protecting the wiring harness from damage.
■When replacing light bulbs
Lexus recommends that you use genuine Lexus products designed for this vehicle.
Because certain bulbs are connected to circuits designed to prevent overload, non-gen-
uine parts or parts not designed for this vehicle may be unusable.
CAUTION
■To prevent system breakdowns and vehicle fire
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may cause damage to the vehicle, and possibly a fire or injury.
●Never use a fuse of a higher amperage rating than that indicated, or use any other
object in place of a fuse.
●Always use a genuine Lexus fuse or equivalent.
Never replace a fuse with a wire, even as a temporary fix.
●Do not modify the fuses or fuse boxes.
■Fuse box near the power control unit
Never check or replace the fuses as there are high voltage parts and wiring near the
fuse box.
Doing so may cause electric shock, resulting in death or serious injury.
NOTICE
■Before replacing fuses
Have the cause of electrical overload determined and repaired by any authorized
Lexus dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional as soon
as possible.
