IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR LEXUS
iv
Event data recorder
Your vehicle has computers that monitor and control certain
aspects of your vehicle. These computers assist in driving and
maintaining optimal vehicle performance. Besides storing
data useful for troubleshooting, there is a system to record data
in a crash or a near car crash event. This is called an Event
Data Recorder (EDR).
The SRS airbag sensor assembly contains the EDR. In a
crash or a near car crash event, this device may record some
or all of the following information:
 Engine speed
 Whether the brake pedal was applied or not
 Vehicle speed
 To what extent the accelerator pedal was depressed
 Position of the transmission selector lever
 Whether the driver and front passenger wore the seat belts
or not
 Driver’s seat position
 Front passenger’s occupant classification
 SRS airbag deployment data
 SRS airbag system diagnostic data If your vehicle is equipped with a vehicle stability control (VSC)
system,
its Electronic Control Unit (ECU) may contain another
EDR. There are a variety of driving situations which include
activating the VSC under wh ich the VSC EDR will record
certain information. The VSC EDR may record some or all of
the following information:
 Behavior of the vehicle
 Steering wheel angle
 Vehicle speed
 To what extent the accelerator pedal was depressed
 To what extent the brake pedal was applied
 To what extent the ECU controlled the condition of the 4
wheels
 Vehicle stability control system diagnostic data
The information above is intended to be used for the purpose
of improving vehicle safety performance. Unlike general data
recorders, the EDR does not record sound data such as
conversation between passengers.

GAUGES, METERS AND SERVICE REMINDER INDICATORS
55
Any of the following conditions may occur, but do not
indicate the malfunction:

The light may stay on for about 60 seconds after the ignition
key is turned to the “ON” position. It is normal if it turns off
after a while.
 Depressing the brake pedal repeatedly may turn on the
warning light and buzzer. It is normal if the light turns off and
the buzzer stops sounding after a few seconds.
 You may hear a small sound in the engine compartment
after the engine is started or the brake pedal is depressed
repeatedly. This is a pump pulsating sound of the brake
system, and it is not a malfunction.
(b) Driver’s Seat Belt Reminder Light and
Buzzer
The light and buzzer act as a reminder to buckle up the driver’s
seat belt.
Once the ignition key is turned to “ON” or “START”, the
reminder light flashes and buzzer sounds if the driver’s seat
belt is not fastened. Unless the driver fastens the belt, the light
continues flashing and the buzzer stops after about 4 to 8
seconds.
(c) Front Passenger’s Seat Belt ReminderLight
The light acts as a reminder to have the front passenger buckle
up the seat belt.
Once the ignition key is turned to “ON” or “START”, the
reminder light flashes if a passenger sits in the front passenger
seat and does not fasten the seat belt. Unless the front
passenger fastens the belt, the light continues flashing.
If luggage or other load is placed on the front passenger seat,
depending on its weight and how it is placed on the seat,
built−in sensors in the seat cushion may detect the pressure,
causing the reminder light to flash.

AIR CONDITIONING
211
20X073c
Your vehicle is equipped with an air conditioning filter.
The air conditioning filter may clog after long use and
reduce the air flow quantity.
To maintain the air conditioning efficiency, inspect and replace
the air conditioning filter according to the maintenance
schedule. In dusty areas or areas with heavy traffic flow, such
as inner city or desert areas, early replacement may be
required. (For scheduled maintenance information, please
refer to the “Owner’s Manual Supplement / Scheduled
Maintenance”.)
(e) Operating tips
 Make sure the air inlet grilles in front of the windshield are
not blocked by leaves or other obstructions.
 If air flow control is not satisfactory, check the dashboard
vents. (See “Center vents”, “Side vents” and “Lower vent”.)\
 To help cool down the interior after parking in the hot sun,
drive for the first few minutes with the windows open. After
the excess heat has blown away, close the windows.
 When driving on dusty roads, close all windows. If dust
thrown up by the vehicle is still drawn into the vehicle after
closing the windows, it is recommended that the air intake
control button be left to the OUTSIDE AIR mode and the fan
speed control button be pressed to anywhere except the
“OFF” button.
 If following another vehicle on a dusty road, or driving in
windy and dusty conditions, it is recommended that the air
intake control button be temporarily pressed in to the
RECIRCULATED AIR mode, which will close off the outside
passage and prevent outside air and dust from entering the
vehicle interior.

mode. The selected mode turns on directly.
Push these buttons if you want to switch from one mode to
another.
If the tape or CD is not set, the cassette player or CD player
does not turn on.

“AM”, “FM1” or “FM2” appears on the display.
If your vehicle is equipped with satellite radio broadcast
system, when you push the “AM·SAT” button, “AM”,

Your radio automatically changes to stereo reception when a
stereo broadcast is received. “ST” appears on the display. If
the signal becomes weak, the radio reduces the amount of
channel separation to prevent the weak signal from creating
noise. If the signal becomes extremely weak, the radio
switches from stereo to mono reception. In this case, “ST”
disappears from the display.

AUDIO

Radio operation (XM satellite radio broadcast)
To listen to a satellite radio broadcast in your vehicle, an
additional genuine Lexus satellite receiver and antenna (or
equivalents) must be purchased and installed. A subscription
to the XM satellite radio service is also necessary.
(a) How to subscribe to an XM satellite radio
An XM satellite radio is a tuner designed exclusively to receive
broadcasts provided under a separate subscription.
Availability is limited to the 48 contiguous states.
How to subscribe:
You must enter into a separate service agreement with the XM
radio in order to receive satellite broadcast programming in the
vehicle. Additional activation and service subscription fees
apply that are not included in the purchase price of the vehicle
and optional digital satellite tuner. For complete information on
subscription rates and terms, or to subscribe to the XM radio,
visit XM on the web at www.xmradio.com
or call an XM’s
Listener Care at (800) 852 −9696. The XM radio is solely
responsible for the quality, availability and content of the
satellite radio services provided, which are subject to the terms
and conditions of the XM radio customer service agreement.
Customers should have their radio ID ready; the radio ID can
be found by tuning to “channel 000” on the radio. For details,
see “Displaying the radio ID” below.
All fees and programming are the responsibility of the XM
satellite radio and are subject to change. Satellite tuner technology notice:
Lexus satellite radio tuners are awarded Type Approval
Certificates from XM Satellite Radio Inc. as proof of
compatibility
with the services offered by the XM satellite radio.
(b) Displaying the radio ID
Each XM tuner is identified with a unique radio ID. You will
need the radio ID when activating XM service or when
reporting a problem.
If you select the “CH 000” using the “AUDIO −TUNE” knob, the
ID code of 8 alphanumeric characters appears. If you select
another channel, display of the ID code is canceled. The
