cables on the hybrid vehicles emit
approximately the same amount of
electromagnetic waves as the conven-
tional gasoline powered vehicles or
home electronic appliances despite of
their electromagnetic shielding.
LC500h: Unwanted noise may occur
in the reception of the radio frequency
transmitter (RF-transmitter).
The SRS airbag and seat belt preten-
sioner 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 any authorized Lexus
retailer or Lexus authorized repairer,
or any reliable repairer before you
scrap your vehicle.
For Russia and Kazakhstan:
In accordance with a Technical regula-
tion of the Customs Union “On safety
of wheeled vehicles” TR CU 018/2011
(requirements to the vehicles in rela-
tion to their internal noise), this vehicle
shall not be utilized for public purpose
(for example, taxi).

WARNING
■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 coordina-tion, which could lead to an accident that
could result in death or serious injury.
Defensive driving: Always drive defen-
sively. 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 dis-
tracts the driver, such as adjusting con- trols, 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 chil-dren’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
or other features of the vehicle. In addi- tion, heat build-up or extremely cold temperatures inside the vehicle can be
fatal to children.

■When riding in an aircraft
When bringing an electronic key onto an aircraft, make sure you do not press any buttons on the electronic key while inside
the aircraft cabin. If you are carrying an electronic key in your bag etc., ensure that the buttons are not likely to be pressed acci-
dentally. Pressing a button may cause the electronic key to emit radio waves that could interfere with the operation of the air-
craft.
■Electronic key battery depletion
●The standard battery life is 1 to 2 years.
●If the battery becomes low, an alarm will sound in the cabin when the engine
<hybrid system> is stopped.
●As the electronic key always receives
radio waves, the battery will become depleted even if the electronic key is not
used. The following symptoms indicate that the electronic key battery may be depleted. Replace the battery when nec-
essary. ( P.349) • The smart entry & start system or the wireless remote control does not oper-
ate. • The detection area becomes smaller.• The LED indicator on the key surface
does not turn on.
●To avoid serious deterioration, do not
leave the electronic key within 1 m (3 ft.) of the following electrical appliances that produce a magnetic field:
•TVs •Personal computers• Cellular phones, cordless phones and
battery chargers • Recharging cellular phones or cordless phones
• Table lamps •Induction cookers

WARNING
■When the Emergency Call may not be made
●Any of the followings may occur. In such cases, report to the Public Safety
Answering Point (PSAP) by other means such as nearby public phones.
• It may sometimes be difficult to con- nect to the Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) even in the reception
area of the cellular phone due to the reception level, or if the line is busy.In such cases, you may not be able to
connect to the Public Safety Answer- ing Point (PSAP) and thus will not be able to make emergency calls and
report to the emergency departments even though the system tries to con-nect to the Public Safety Answering
Point (PSAP).
• When the vehicle is out of the cellular
phone service area, the Emergency Call cannot be made.
• When any related equipment (such as the “SOS” button panel, indicator lights, microphone, speaker, DCM,
antenna, or any wires connecting the equipment.) has an abnormality, is damaged or broken, the Emergency
Call cannot be made.
• During the Emergency Call, the sys-
tem makes repeated attempts to con- nect to the Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP). However, if it cannot
connect to the Public Safety Answer- ing Point (PSAP) due to poor radio wave reception, the system may not be
able to connect to the cellular network and the call may finish without con-necting. The red indicator light will
blink for approximately 30 seconds to indicate this disconnection.
• This device may not function if a shock is applied to it.

The illustration used is intended as an
example, and may differ from the image
that is actually displayed on the multi-infor-
mation display.
■Routine tire inflation pressure checks
The tire pressure warning system does not
replace routine tire inflation pressure checks. Make sure to check tire inflation pressure as part of your routine of daily
vehicle checks.
■Situations in which the tire pressure warning system may not operate prop-
erly
●In the following cases, the tire pressure
warning system may not operate prop- erly.• If non-genuine Lexus wheels are used.
• A tire has been replaced with a tire that is not an OE (Original Equipment) tire.• A tire has been replaced with a tire that is
not of the specified size. • Tire chains etc. are equipped.• An auxiliary-supported run-flat tire is
equipped. • If a window tint that affects the radio wave signals is installed.
• If there is a lot of snow or ice on the vehi- cle, particularly around the wheels or wheel housings.
• If the tire inflation pressure is extremely higher than the specified level.• If wheels without tire pressure warning
valves and transmitters are used. • If the ID code on the tire pressure warn-ing valves and transmitters is not regis-
tered in the tire pressure warning
computer.
●Performance may be affected in the fol-
lowing situations. • Near a TV tower, electric power plant, gas station, radio station, large display,
airport or other facility that generates strong radio waves or electrical noise• When carrying a portable radio, cellular
phone, cordless phone or other wireless communication device
If tire position information is not correctly
displayed due to the radio wave conditions,
the display may be corrected by driving and
changing the radio wave conditions.
●When the vehicle is parked, the time taken for the warning to start or go off
could be extended.
●When tire inflation pressure declines rap-
idly for example when a tire has burst, the warning may not function.
■Warning performance of the tire pres-sure warning system
The warning of the tire pressure warning system will change in accordance with the
conditions under which it was initialized. For this reason, the system may give a warning
even if the tire pressure does not reach a low enough level, or if the pressure is higher than the pressure that was adjusted to when
the system was initialized.
