vehicle.
All specifications provided in this manual are current at the time of printing. However,
because of the Lexus policy of continual pr oduct improvement, we reserve the right to
make changes at any time without notice.
Depending on specifications, th e vehicle shown in the illustrations may differ from your

Approximately five hours after the engine is turned off, you may hear sound coming from
under the vehicle for several minutes. This is the sound of a fuel evaporation leakage
check and, it does not indicate a malfunction.
A wide variety of non-genuine spare parts and accessories for Lexus vehicles are cur-
rently available in the market. You should kn ow that Toyota does not warrant these prod-
ucts and is not responsible fo r their performance, repair, or replacement, or for any
damage they may cause to, or adverse effect they may have on, your Lexus vehicle.
This vehicle should not be modified with non-genuine Lexus products. Modification with
non-genuine Lexus products could affect its performance, safety or durability, and may
even violate governmental regulations. In addition, damage or performance problems
resulting from the modification may not be covered under warranty.
The installation of a mobile two-way radio system in your vehicle could affect electronic
systems such as:
●Multiport fuel injection system/seque ntial multiport fuel injection system
●Lexus Safety System+
●Cruise control system
●Anti-lock brake system
●Vehicle dynamics integrated management
●SRS airbag system
●Seat belt pretensioner system

Your Lexus is equipped with several sophisticated computers that will record certain
data, such as:• Engine speed
• Accelerator status
•Brake status
• Vehicle speed
•Shift position
The recorded data varies accord ing to the vehicle grade level and options with which it is
equipped. These computers do not record conversations or sounds, and only record
images outside of the vehicle in certain situations.
●Data transmission
Your vehicle may transmit the data recorded in these computers to Lexus without noti-
fication to you.
●Data usage
Lexus may use the data recorded in these computers to diagnose malfunctions, con-
duct research and development, and improve quality.
Lexus will not disclose the recorded data to a third party except:
• With the consent of the vehicle owner or with the consent of the lessee if the vehicle is leased
• In response to an official request by the police, a court of law or a government
agency
• For use by Lexus in a lawsuit
• For research purposes where the data is not tied to a specific vehicle or vehicle
owner
●Usage of data collected through Lexus Enform (U.S. mainland only)
If your Lexus has Lexus Enform and if you have subscribed to those services, please
refer to the Lexus Enform Telematics Subs cription Service Agreement for information
on data collected and its usage.

Vehicle data recordings

10
GS F_OM_OM30G90U_(U)This vehicle is equipped with an event data recorder (EDR). The main purpose of an EDR
is to record, in certain crash or near crash-
like situations, such as an air bag deployment
or hitting a road obstacle, data that will a ssist in understanding how a vehicle’s systems
performed. The EDR is designed to record data related to vehicle dynamics and safety
systems for a short period of ti me, typically 30 seconds or less.
The EDR in this vehicle is desi gned to record such data as:
• How various systems in your vehicle were operating;
• Whether or not the driver and passenge r safety belts were buckled/fastened;
• How far (if at all) the driver was depressi ng the accelerator and/or brake pedal; and,
• How fast the vehicle was traveling.
These data can help provide a better understanding of the circumstances in which
crashes and injuries occur.
NOTE: EDR data are recorded by your vehicle only if a non-trivial crash situation occurs;
no data are recorded by the EDR under norm al driving conditions and no personal data
(e.g., name, gender, age, and crash location) are recorded. However, other parties, such
as law enforcement, could combine the EDR data with the type of personally identifying
data routinely acquired during a crash investigation.
To read data recorded by an EDR, special equipment is required, and access to the vehi-
cle or the EDR is needed. In addition to the vehicle manufacturer, other parties, such as
law enforcement, that have the special equipm ent, can read the information if they have
access to the vehicle or the EDR.
●Disclosure of the EDR data
Lexus will not disclose the data recorded in an EDR to a third party except when:
• An agreement from the vehicle’s owner (or the lessee for a leased vehicle) is obtained
• In response to an official request by the police, a court of law or a government
agency
• For use by Lexus in a lawsuit
However, if necessary, Lexus may:
• Use the data for research on vehicle safety performance
• Disclose the data to a third party for rese arch purposes without disclosing informa-
tion about the specific vehicle or vehicle owner
