7587-2. Steps to take in an emergency
GS350_OM_OM30D41U_(U)Start the engine of the second ve
hicle. Increase the engine speed
slightly and maintain at that le vel for approximately 5 minutes to
recharge the battery of your vehicle.
Open and close any of the doors of your vehicle with the engine switch
off.
Maintain the engine speed of the seco nd vehicle and start the engine of
your vehicle by turning the engine switch to IGNITION ON mode.
Once the vehicle’s engine has started , remove the jumper cables in the
exact reverse order from wh ich they were connected.
Once the engine starts, have the vehi cle inspected at your Lexus dealer as
soon as possible.
■Starting the engine when the battery is discharged
The engine cannot be started by push-starting.
■To prevent battery discharge
●Turn off the headlights and the audio system while the engine is off.
●Turn off any unnecessary electrical compon ents when the vehicle is running at a
low speed for an extended period, such as in heavy traffic.
■Charging the battery
The electricity stored in the battery will discharge gradually even when the vehicle is
not in use, due to natural discharge and the draining effects of certain electrical
appliances. If the vehicle is left for a long time, the battery may discharge, and the
engine may be unable to star t. (The battery recharges automatically during driving.)

When trouble arises
■When recharging or replacing the battery
●Make sure that the key is not inside the vehicle when recharging or replacing the
battery. The key may be locked in the vehicle if the alarm is activated. ( P. 7 3 )
●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 ba ttery, 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.
CAUTION
■Avoiding battery fires or explosions
Observe the following precautions to prev ent accidentally igniting the flammable
gas that may be emi tted from the battery:
●Make sure each jumper cable is connected 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 “+” terminal 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 bat-
tery.

■Non-recommendation of the use of gasoline containing MMT
Some gasoline contains an octane enhanc ing additive called MMT (Methylcyclo-
pentadienyl Manganese Tricarbonyl).
Lexus does not recommend the use of gasoli ne 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 knocking for a short time while accelerating or
driving uphill. This is normal and there is no need for concern.
NOTICE
■Notice on fuel quality
●Do not use improper fuels. If improper fuels are used, the engine will be dam-
aged.
●Do not use leaded gasoline.
Leaded gasoline can cause damage to your vehicle’s three-way catalytic convert-
ers causing the emission control system to malfunction.
●Do not use gasohol other than the type previously stated.
Other gasohol may cause fuel system damage or vehicle performance problems.
●Using unleaded gasoline with an octane number or rating lower than the level
previously stated will cause persistent heavy knocking.
At worst, this will lead to engine damage.
■Fuel-related poor driveability
If poor driveability is encountered after us ing a different type of fuel (poor hot start-
ing, vaporization, engine knocking, etc.), discontinue the use of that type of fuel.
■When refueling with gasohol
Take care not to spill gasohol. It can damage your vehicle’s paint.
