If you select
The display returns to the previous screen.
EON (Enhanced Other Network) system (for traffic announcement function)
If the RDS station (with EON data) you are listening to is not broadcasting a
traffic information program and the audio system is in the TA (Traffic
announcement) mode, the radio will be switched automatically to a station
broadcasting a traffic information program in the EON AF list when traffic
information begins.
When listening to a disc
When the traffic information program starts, the disc playback mode is inter-
rupted and the traffic information is automatically broadcasted. When the
program ends, the initial operation resumes.
When the 12-volt battery is disconnected
All preset stations are erased.
Reception sensitivity
Maintaining perfect radio reception at all times is difficult due to the contin-
ually changing position of the antenna, differences in signal strength and
surrounding objects, such as trains, transmitters, etc.
The radio antenna is mounted inside the rear window. To maintain clear
radio reception, do not attach metallic window tinting or other metallic
objects to the antenna wire mounted inside the rear window.
About Time shift
The times at which playback is possible depend on the bit rate of the DAB
station to be recorded, the amount of DAB unit memory, and the time at
which reception of the broadcast began.

CAUTION
While driving
Do not use the portable player or connect the Bluetooth
® system.
Caution regarding interference with electronic devices
Your audio unit is fitted with Bluetooth® antennas. People with implant-
able cardiac pacemakers, cardiac resynchronization therapy-pacemakers
or implantable cardioverter defibrillators should maintain a reasonable
distance between themselves and the Bluetooth
® antennas. The radio
waves may affect the operation of such devices.
Before using Bluetooth® devices, users of any electrical medical device
other than implantable cardiac pacemakers, cardiac resynchronization
therapy-pacemakers or implantable cardioverter defibrillators should con-
sult the manufacturer of the device for information about its operation
under the influence of radio waves. Radio waves could have unexpected
effects on the operation of such medical devices.
NOTICE
When leaving the vehicle
Do not leave your portable player in the vehicle. The inside of the vehicle
may become hot, causing damage to the portable player.

7606-3. Do-it-yourself maintenance
GS450h_300h_OM_OM30D53E_(EE)
Low profile tires (except 225/50R17 tires)
Generally, low profile tires will wear more rapidly and tire grip performance
will be reduced on snowy and/or icy roads when compared to standard tires.
Be sure to use snow tires or tire chains on snowy and/or icy roads and drive
carefully at a speed appropriate for road and weather conditions. (P. 436)
If the tread on snow tires wears down below 4 mm (0.16 in.)
The effectiveness of the tires as snow tires is lost.
Situations in which the tire pressure warning system may not operate properly
(vehicles with the tire pressure warning system)
In the following cases, the tire pressure warning system may not operate
properly.
• If non-genuine Lexus wheels are used.
• A tire has been replaced with a tire that is not an OE (Original Equip-
ment) tire.
• A tire has been replaced with a tire that is not of the specified size.
• Tire chains etc. are equipped.
• Lock nuts 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 vehicle, particularly around the
wheels or wheel housings.
• If the tire inflation pressure is extremely higher than the specified level.
Performance may be affected in the following situations.
• Near a TV tower, electric power plant, gas station, radio station, large
display, airport or other facility that generates strong radio waves or elec-
trical noise
• When carrying a portable radio, cellular phone, cordless phone or other
wireless communication device
Vehicles with the tire inflation pressure display function: 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 condi-
tions.
When the vehicle is parked, the time taken for the warning to start or go off
could be extended.
When tire inflation pressure declines rapidly for example when a tire has
burst, the warning may not function.
