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 according to the ve hicle grade level and options with which it is
equipped. Furthermore, these computers do not record conversations, sounds or pic-
tures.
●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 Safe ty Connect/Lexus Enform (U.S. main-
land only)
If your Lexus has Safety Connect or Lexus Enform and if you have subscribed to those
services, please refer to the Safety Connect / Lexus Enform Telematics Subscription
Service Agreement for information on data collected and its usage.
Vehicle data recordings

10
GX460_OM_OM60K80U_(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 as
sist 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 time, 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;
• How far (if at all) the driver was depressing the accelerator and/or brake pedal; and,
• How fast the vehicle was traveling.
These data can help provide a better unde rstanding of the circumstances in which
crashes and injuries occur.
NOTE: EDR data are recorded by your vehicle only if a nontrivial crash situation occurs;
no data are recorded by the EDR under normal 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 research purposes without disclosing informa- tion about the specific vehicle or vehicle owner

CAUTION
■When folding the seatbacks down
Observe the following precautions. Failure to do so may result in death or serious
injury.
●Do not fold the seatbacks down while driving.
●Stop the vehicle on level ground, set the parking brake and shift the shift lever to P.
●Do not allow anyone to sit on a folded seatback or in the luggage compartment while
driving.
●Do not allow children to enter the luggage compartment.
■Seat adjustment
Observe the following precautions. Failure to do so may result in death or serious
injury.
●To reduce the risk of sliding under the lap belt during a collision, do not recline the
seat more than necessary.
If the seat is too reclined, the lap belt may slide past the hips and apply restraint forces
directly to the abdomen, or your neck may contact the shoulder belt, increasing the
risk of death or serious injury in the event of an accident.
Adjustments should not be made while dr iving as the seat may unexpectedly move
and cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle.
●Be careful not to get hands or feet pinc hed between the rear console box and the
second seat when folding down the rear seatback.
■When stowing the third seats
Observe the following precautions. Failure to do so may result in death or serious
injury.
●Check that there is no luggage and that there are no other people around the seat
before stowing operation.
●Do not insert hands or feet into the moving parts of the seat.
●Do not allow children to operate the seat.
■After returning the seatbacks to the upright position
Observe the following precautions. Failure to do so may result in death or serious
injury.
●Make sure the seatback is securely locked by pushing it forward and rearward on the
top.
●Check that the seat belts are not twisted or caught in the seatback.
NOTICE
■When returning the third seat (vehicles with a luggage cover)

Driving
■When starting off on a uphill (vehicles with hill-start assist control system)
The hill-start assist control is available. ( P. 3 4 2 )
■Driving in the rain
●Drive carefully when it is raining, because visibility will be reduced, the windows may
become fogged-up, and th e road will be slippery.
●Drive carefully when it starts to rain, becau se the road surface will be especially slip-
pery.
●Refrain from high speeds when driving on an expressway in the rain, because there may
be a layer of water between the tires and the road surface, preventing the steering and
brakes from operating properly.
■Engine speed while driving
In the following conditions, the engine speed may become high while driving. This is due
to automatic up-shifting control or down-shi fting implementation to meet driving condi-
tions. It does not indica te sudden acceleration.
●The vehicle is judged to be driving uphill or downhill
●When the accelerator pedal is released
■Breaking in your new Lexus
To extend the life of the ve hicle, observing the followin g precautions is recommended:
●For the first 200 miles (300 km):
Avoid sudden stops.
●For the first 500 miles (800 km):
Do not tow a trailer.
●For the first 600 miles (1000 km):
• Do not drive at extremely high speeds.
• Avoid sudden acceleration.
• Do not drive continuously in the low gears.
• Do not drive at a constant speed for extended periods.
■Drum-in-disc type parking brake system
Your vehicle has a drum-in-disc type parking brake system.
This type of brake system needs bedding-down of the brake shoes periodically or when-
ever the parking brake shoes and/or drum are replaced.
