■The compact spare tire
●The compact spare tire is identified by
the label “TEMPORARY USE ONLY”
on the tire sidewall.
Use the compact spare tire temporarily,
and only in an emergency.
●Make sure to check the tire inflation
pressure of the compact spare tire.
( P.395)
■After completing the tire change
The tire pressure warning system must be
reset. ( P.324)
■When using the compact spare tire
As the compact spare tire is not equipped
with a tire pressure warning valve and
transmitter, low inflation pressure of the spare tire will not be indicated by the tire
pressure warning system. Also, if you
replace the compact spare tire after the tire
pressure warning light comes on, the light
remains on.
■When the compact spare tire is
attached
The vehicle becomes lower when driving
with the compact spare tire compared to
when driving with standard tires.
■If you have a flat front tire on a road cov-
ered with snow or ice (vehicles with 17-
inch tires)

inspected at your Lexus dealer as soon as
possible.
■Starting the engine when the battery is
discharged
The engine cannot be started by push-start-
ing.
■To prevent battery discharge
●Turn off the headlights and the audio sys-
tem while the engine is stopped.

When trouble arises
When the battery is depleted, have the
vehicle inspected at your Lexus dealer.
●Some systems may require initialization.
( P.419)
■When removing the battery terminals
When the battery terminals are removed,
the information stored in the ECU is
cleared. Before removing the battery termi-
nals, contact your Lexus dealer.
■Charging the battery
The electricity stored in the battery will dis-
charge gradually even when the vehicle is
not in use, due to natural discharge and the
draining effects of certain electrical appli-
ances. If the vehicle is left for a long time,
the battery may discharge, and the engine
may be unable to start. (The battery
recharges automatically during driving.)
■When recharging or replacing the bat-
tery
●In some cases, it may not be possible to
unlock the doors using the smart access
system with push-button start when the
battery is discharged. Use the wireless
remote control or the mechanical key to
lock or unlock the doors.
●The engine may not start on the first
attempt after the battery has recharged
but will start normally after the second
attempt. This is not a malfunction.
●The engine switch mode is memorized by
the vehicle. When the battery is recon-
nected, the system will return to the
mode it was in before the battery was dis-
charged. Before disconnecting the bat-
tery, turn the engine switch off.
If you are unsure what mode the engine
switch was in before the battery dis-
charged, be especially careful when
reconnecting the battery.
■When replacing the battery
●Use a battery that conforms to European
regulations.
●Use a battery that the case size is same as
the previous one (LN3), 20 hour rate
capacity (20HR) is equivalent (70Ah) or
greater, and performance rating (CCA)
is equivalent (592A) or greater.
• If the sizes differ, the battery cannot be properly secured.
• If the 20 hour rate capacity is low, even if the time period where the vehicle is not
used is a short time, the battery may dis-
charge and engine may not be able to
start.
●For details, consult your Lexus dealer.
WARNING
■When removing the battery termi-
nals
Always remove the negative (-) terminal
first. If the positive (+) terminal contacts
any metal in the surrounding area when
the positive (+) terminal is removed, a
spark may occur, leading to a fire in addi-
tion to electrical shocks and death or
serious injury.
■Avoiding battery fires or explosions
Observe the following precautions to
prevent accidentally igniting the flamma-
ble gas that may be emitted from the bat-
tery:
●Make sure each jumper cable is con-
nected to the correct terminal and that
it is not unintentionally in contact with
any other than the intended terminal.
●Do not allow the other end of the
jumper cable connected to the “+” ter-
minal to come into contact with any
other parts or metal surfaces in the
area, such as brackets or unpainted
metal.
●Do not allow the + and - clamps of the
jumper cables to come into contact
with each other.
●Do not smoke, use matches, cigarette
lighters or allow open flame near the
battery.
■Battery precautions
The battery contains poisonous and cor-
rosive acidic electrolyte, while related
parts contain lead and lead compounds.
Observe the following precautions when
handling the battery:

Vehicle specifications
■Gasoline quality
In very few cases, dr iveability problems may
be caused by the brand of gasoline you are
using. If driveability problems persist, try
changing the brand of gasoline. If this does
not correct the problem, consult your Lexus
dealer.
■Recommendation of the use of gasoline
containing detergent additives
●Lexus recommends the use of gasoline
that contains detergent additives to avoid
the build-up of engine deposits.
●All gasoline sold in the U.S.A. contains
minimum detergent additives to clean
and/or keep clean intake systems, per
EPA’s lowest additives concentration
program.
●Lexus strongly recommends the use of
Top Tier Detergent Gasoline. For more
information on Top Tier Detergent Gas-
oline and a list of marketers, please go to
the official website www.toptiergas.com.
■Recommendation of the use of low
emissions gasoline
Gasolines containing oxygenates such as
ethers and ethanol, as well as reformulated
gasolines, are available in some cities.
These fuels are typically acceptable for use,
providing they meet other fuel require-
ments. Lexus recommends these fuels, since the
formulations allow for reduced vehicle
emissions.
■Non-recommendation of the use of
blended gasoline
●Use only gasoline containing up to 15%
ethanol.
DO NOT use any flex-fuel or gasoline
that could contain more than 15% etha-
nol, including from any pump labeled
E30 (30% ethanol [ ]), E50 (50%
ethanol [ ]), E85 (85% ethanol [ ])
(which are only some examples of fuel
containing more than 15% ethanol).
●If you use gasohol in your vehicle, be sure
that it has an octane rating no lower than
87.
●Lexus does not recommend the use of
gasoline containing methanol.
■Non-recommendation of the use of gas-
oline containing MMT
Some gasoline contains an octane enhanc-
ing additive called MMT (Methylcyclo-
pentadienyl Manganese Tricarbonyl).
Lexus does not recommend the use of gas-
oline that contains MMT. If fuel containing
MMT is used, your emission control system
may be adversely affected.
The malfunction indicator lamp on the
instrument cluster may come on. If this hap-
pens, contact your Lexus dealer for service.
■If your engine knocks
●Consult your Lexus dealer.
●You may occasionally notice light knock-
ing for a short time while accelerating or
driving uphill. This is normal and there is
no need for concern.
Fuel information
You must only use unleaded gaso-
line.
Select octane rating 87 (Research
Octane Number 91) or higher. Use
of unleaded gasoline with an octane
rating lower than 87 may result in
engine knocking. Persistent knock-
ing can lead to engine damage.
At minimum, the gasoline you use
should meet the specifications of
ASTM D4814 in the U.S.A..
