4-4.Refueling
Turn the engine switch <power
switch> off and ensure that both side
doors and windows are closed.
 Confirm the type of fuel.
■Fuel types
 P.421
■Fuel tank opening for unleaded gasoline
To help prevent incorrect fueling, your vehi- cle has a fuel tank opening that only accom-
modates the special nozzle on unleaded fuel pumps.

WARNING
■When refueling the vehicle
Observe the following precautions while refueling the vehicle. Failure to do so may
result in death or serious injury.
●After exiting the vehicle and before opening the fuel door, touch an unpainted metal surface to discharge
any static electricity. It is important to discharge static electricity before refu-eling because sparks resulting from
static electricity can cause fuel vapors to ignite while refueling.
●Always hold the grips on the fuel tank
cap and turn it slowly to remove it. A whooshing sound may be heard when the fuel tank cap is loosened.
Wait until the sound cannot be heard before fully removing the cap. In hot weather, pressurize d fuel may spray
out the filler neck and cause injury.
●Do not allow anyone that has not dis- charged static electricity from their body to come close to an open fuel
tank.
●Do not inhale vaporized fuel. Fuel contains substances that are
harmful if inhaled.
●Do not smoke while refueling the vehi- cle.Doing so may cause the fuel to ignite
and cause a fire.
●Do not return to the vehicle or touch any person or object that is statically charged.
This may cause static electricity to build up, resulting in a possible ignition hazard.
■When refueling
Observe the following precautions to prevent fuel overflowing from the fuel
tank:
●Securely insert the fuel nozzle into the fuel filler neck.
●Stop filling the tank after the fuel noz-zle automatically clicks off.
●Do not top off the fuel tank.
NOTICE
■Refueling
Do not spill fuel during refueling. Doing so may damage the vehicle, such
as causing the emission control system to operate abnormally or damaging fuel system components or the vehicle’s
painted surface.

The pre-collision system is equipped
with a sophisticated computer that will
record certain data, such as:
• Accelerator status
• Brake status
• Vehicle speed
• Operation status of the pre-collision
system functions
• Information (such as the distance
and relative speed between your
vehicle and the vehicle ahead or
other objects)
The pre-collision system does not
record conversations, sounds or pic-
tures.
 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:
Lexus Safety System+*
The Lexus Safety System+ consists
of the following drive assist systems
and contributes to a safe and com-
fortable driving experience:
Drive assist systems of Lexus
Safety System+
WARNING
■Lexus Safety System+
The Lexus Safety System+ is designed to
operate under the assumption that the driver will drive safely, and is designed to help reduce the impact to the occupants
and the vehicle in the case of a collision or assist the driver in normal driving con-ditions.
As there is a limit to the degree of recog- nition accuracy and control performance
that this system can provide, do not overly rely on this system. The driver is always responsible for paying attention
to the vehicle’s surroundings and driving safely.

WARNING
■To avoid malfunction of the radar sen- sor
Observe the following precautions.
Otherwise, the radar sensor may not
operate properly, possibly leading to an accident resulting in death or serious injury.
●Keep the radar sensor and front grille
emblem clean at all times.
Radar sensor
Front grille emblem
If the front of the radar sensor or the front
or back of the front grille emblem is dirty
or covered with water droplets, snow,
etc., clean it.
Clean the radar sensor and front grille
emblem with a soft cloth so you do not
mark or damage them.
●Do not attach accessories, stickers
(including transparent stickers), or other items to the radar sensor, front grille emblem or surrounding area.
●Do not subject the radar sensor or sur-
rounding area to a strong impact. If the radar sensor, front grille, or front bumper has been subjected to a
strong impact, have the vehicle inspected by any authorized Lexus retailer or Lexus authorized repairer,
or any reliable repairer.
●Do not disassemble the radar sensor.

WARNING
●If the part of the windshield in front of the camera sensor is fogged up or covered with condensation or ice, use
the windshield defogger to remove the fog, condensation or ice. ( P.281)
●If water droplets cannot be properly removed from the area of the wind-
shield in front of the camera sensor by the windshield wipers, replace the wiper insert or wiper blade.

authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
●Do not attach window tinting to the windshield.
●Replace the windshield if it is damaged
or cracked. If the windshield needs to be replaced, contact any authorized Lexus retailer
or Lexus authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
●Do not get the camera sensor wet.
●Do not allow bright lights to shine into the camera sensor.
●Do not dirty or damage the camera
sensor. When cleaning the inside of the wind-shield, do not allow glass cleaner to
contact the lens. Also, do not touch the lens. If the lens is dirty or damaged, contact
any authorized Lexus retailer or Lexus authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
●Do not subject the camera sensor to a
strong impact.
●Do not change the installation position or direction of the camera sensor or remove it.
●Do not disassemble the camera sen-
sor.
●Do not install an electronic device or device that emits strong electric waves
near the camera sensor.
●Do not modify any components of the vehicle around the camera sensor (inside rear view mirror, etc.) or ceiling.
●Do not attach any accessories that
may obstruct the camera sensor to the hood, front grille or front bumper. Contact any authorized Lexus retailer
or Lexus authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer for details.

4-5. Using the driving support systems
*: If equipped
■Pre-collision warning
When the system determines that the
possibility of a frontal collision is high, a
buzzer will sound and a warning mes-
sage will be displayed on the multi-
information display to urge the driver
to take evasive action.
■Pre-collision brake assist
When the system determines that the
possibility of a frontal collision is high,
the system applies greater braking
force in relation to how strongly the
brake pedal is depressed.
■Pre-collision braking
When the system determines that the
possibility of a frontal collision is high,
the system warns the driver. If the sys-
tem determines that the possibility of a
frontal collision is extremely high, the
brakes are automatically applied to
help avoid the collision or reduce the
collision speed.
■Suspension control
When the system determines that the
possibility of a frontal collision is high,
the Adaptive Variable Suspension sys-
tem ( P.262) will control the damping
force of the shock absorbers to help
maintain an appropriate vehicle pos-
ture.
■Steering control (if equipped)
When the system determines that the
possibility of a frontal collision is high
PCS (Pre-Collision System)*
The pre-collision system uses a
radar sensor and camera sensor to
detect vehicles and pedestrians*1 in
front of your vehicle. When the sys-
tem determines that the possibility
of a frontal collision with a vehicle
or pedestrian is high, a warning
operates to urge the driver to take
evasive action and the potential
brake pressure is increased to help
the driver avoid the collision. If the
system determines that the possi-
bility of a frontal collision with a
vehicle or pedestrian is extremely
high, the brakes are automatically
applied to help avoid the collision or
help reduce the impact of the colli-
sion.
The pre-collision system can be dis-
abled/enabled and the warning tim-
ing can be changed. ( P.212)
*1: Depending on the region in which
the vehicle was sold, the pedestrian
detection function may not be avail-
able. Contact any authorized Lexus
retailer or Lexus authorized repairer,
or any reliable repairer for details.
