1-1. For safe use
●A frontal impact applied to the front bumper while driving at speeds outside of the operational speed range
●A side impact or rear impact
●A vehicle rollover (In some accident situ-ations, the Pop Up Hood may operate.)
WARNING
■When the Pop Up Hood is operated
●Do not pull the hood lock release lever.
Doing so after the Pop Up Hood has operated will further raise the hood and may cause an injury. Do not drive
with the hood raised, as doing so may block the driver’s vision, possibly caus-ing an accident.
●Do not forcibly push down the hood.
As the popped up hood cannot be lowered by hand, doing so may deform the hood or cause an injury.
●If the Pop Up Hood has operated, have
it replaced by any authorized Lexus retailer or Lexus authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer. If the Pop Up
Hood has operated, stop the vehicle in a safe place and contact authorized Lexus retailer or Lexus authorized
repairer, or any reliable repairer.
●Do not touch the lifters immediately after the Pop Up Hood has operated, as the lifters may be hot and burn you.
NOTICE
■Pop Up Hood precautions
●Make sure to close the hood before driving, as the system may not operate
properly if the hood is not fully closed.
●Make sure that all 4 tires are of the specified size and inflated to the speci-fied tire pressure. If tires of a different
size are used, the system may not operate properly.
●If something has hit the area around the front bumper, the sensors may be
damaged even if the Pop Up Hood has not operated. Have the vehicle inspected by any authorized Lexus
retailer or Lexus authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
●Do not remove or repair the parts or wiring of the Pop Up Hood, as doing
so may cause accidental operation or prevent the system from operating properly. If repair or replacement is
necessary, contact any authorized Lexus retailer or Lexus authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
●Do not remove such components as
the front bumper, hood or suspension, or replace them with non-genuine parts, as doing so may prevent the sys-
tem from operating properly.
●Do not install anything to the front bumper or hood, as doing so may pre-vent the sensors from detecting an
impact correctly and prevent the sys- tem from operating properly.
●Do not close the hood with force or
apply load to the lifters, as doing so may damage the lifters and prevent the system from operating properly.
●Do not modify the suspension, as
changes made to the vehicle height may prevent the system from operat-ing properly.

6-1. Maintenance and care
■CFRP (Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plas- tic) parts (if equipped)
CFRP is used for the scuff plates. When cleaning the scuff plates, remove dirt using a water-dampened soft cloth or synthetic
chamois, and then wipe the surface with a dry soft cloth to remove any remaining moisture.
WARNING
■Water in the vehicle
●LC500: Do not splash or spill liquid in the vehicle.Doing so may cause electrical compo-
nents etc. to malfunction or catch fire. LC500h: Do not splash or spill liquid in the vehicle, such as on the floor, on
the rear seats, in the hybrid battery (traction battery) air vents or in the trunk. ( P.68)
Doing so may cause the hybrid battery, electrical components, etc. to mal-function or catch fire.
●Do not get any of the SRS components
or wiring in the vehicle interior wet. ( P.35) An electrical malfunction may cause
the airbags to deploy or not function properly, resulting in death or serious injury.
■Cleaning the interior (especially
instrument panel)
Do not use polish wax or polish cleaner.
The instrument panel may reflect off the windshield, obstructing the driver’s view and leading to an accident, resulting in
death or serious injury.
NOTICE
■Cleaning detergents
●Do not use the following types of
detergent, as they may discolor the vehicle interior or cause streaks or damage to painted surfaces:
• Non-seat portions: Organic sub- stances such as benzene or gasoline,
alkaline or acidic solutions, dye, and bleach
• Seats: Alkaline or acidic solutions, such as thinner, benzene, and alcohol
●Do not use polish wax or polish cleaner. The instrument panel’s or
other interior part’s painted surface may be damaged.
■Preventing damage to leather sur-faces
Observe the following precautions to avoid damage to and deterioration of
leather surfaces:
●Remove any dust or dirt from leather surfaces immediately.
●Do not expose the vehicle to direct sunlight for extended periods of time.
Park the vehicle in the shade, espe- cially during summer.
●Do not place items made of vinyl, plas-tic, or containing wax on the uphol-
stery, as they may stick to the leather surface if the vehicle interior heats up significantly.
■Water on the floor
Do not wash the vehicle floor with water. Vehicle systems such as the audio system
may be damaged if water comes into contact with electrical components such as the audio system above or under the
floor of the vehicle. Water may also cause the body to rust.
