Accessories, spare parts and modification of
your Lexus
A wide variety of non−genuine spare parts and accessories for
Lexus vehicles are currently available in the market. You
should know that Toyota does not warrant these products and
is not responsible for their performance, repair, or
replacement, or for any damage they may cause to, or adverse
effect they may have on, your Lexus vehicle.

could af fect 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.
Spark ignition system of your Lexus
The spark ignition system in your Lexus meets all
requirements of the Canadian Interference− Causing
Equipment Standard.
Installation of a mobile two way radio system
As the installation of a mobile two −way radio system in your
vehicle could affect electronic systems such as the multiport
fuel injection system/sequential multiport fuel injection system,
cruise control system, dynamic radar cruise control system,
anti− lock brake system, SRS airbag system and seat belt
pretensioner system, be sure to check with your Lexus dealer
for precautionary measures or special instructions regarding
installation.
Tires and loading on your Lexus
Underinflated or overinflated tire pressure and the
excess load may result in the deterioration of steering
ability and braking ability, leading to an accident. Check
the tire inflation pressure periodically and be sure to
keep the load limits given in this Owner’s Manual. For
details about tire inflation pressure and load limits, see
page 539 and 456.
Scrapping of your Lexus
The SRS airbag and seat belt pretensioner devices in your
Lexus contain explosive c hemicals. If the vehicle is scrapped
with the airbags and seat belt pretensioners left as they are,
this may cause an accident such as fire. Be sure to have the
systems of the SRS airbag and seat belt pretensioner removed
and disposed of by a qualified service shop or by your Lexus
dealer before you scrap your vehicle.
Leak detection pump
This pump performs fuel evaporation leakage check. This
check is done several hours after the engine is turned off. So
you may hear sound coming from underneath the luggage
compartment for several minutes. It does not indicate a
malfunction.

GAUGES, METERS AND SERVICE REMINDER INDICATORS
76Once the engine switch is selected in “IG
−ON” mode, 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.
If the vehicle speed exceeds about 15 km/h (10 mph) with the
driver’s seat belt reminder light flashing, beeps sound
intermittently for about 20 seconds.
(d) Front Passenger’s Seat Belt Reminder Light
The light acts as a reminder to have the front passenger buckle
up the seat belt.
Once the engine switch is selected in “IG −ON” mode, 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.
However, if a front passenger uses an additional seat cushion,
the indicator light may not flash even when the seat belt is not
buckled up.
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.
(e) SRS Warning Light
The indicator comes on when the engine switch is
selected in “IG ON” mode. It goes off after about 6
seconds. This means the SRS airbags and seat belt
pretensioners are operating properly.
This warning light system monitors the airbag sensor
assembly, front airbag sensors, side and curtain shield airbag
sensor assemblies, curtain shield airbag sensor assemblies,
driver’s seat position sensor, driver’s seat belt buckle switch,
occupant detection sensor, front passenger’s seat belt buckle
switch, seat belt pretensioner assemblies, inflators, warning
light, interconnecting wiring and power sources.
If either of the following conditions occurs, this indicates a
malfunction somewhere in the parts monitored by the warning
light system. Contact your Lexus dealer as soon as possible
to service the vehicle.
When the engine switch is selected in “IG−ON” mode, the
light does not come on or remains on for more than 6
seconds.
The light comes on while driving.
If the light stays on, it indicates that the SRS driver and front
passenger airba gs, SRS side and curtain shield airbags and/or
seat belt pretensioners have a problem.
