Trailer towing
The strain of towing a trailer will have a negative impact on the run-
ning performance, handling, fuel consumption and endurance of your
vehicle. Use the vehicle features in the correct manner and operate the
vehicle with care for safer driving and optimal comfort. Damage and/
or malfunctions that occur as a result of towing performed for com-
mercial purposes are not covered by the Lexus warranty.
Ask your local authorized Lexus dealer or repairer, or another duly
qualified and equipped professional, for further details before towing,
as there are additional legal requirements in some countries.
Weight limits
Check the allowable towing capacity, GVM (Gross Vehicle
Mass), MPAC (Maximum Permissible Axle Capacity), and
permissible draw bar load before towing. (P. 534)
Towing hitch/bracket
Lexus recommends the use of the Lexus hitch/bracket for
your vehicle. Other products of a suitable nature and compa-
rable quality may also be used.
To prevent an accident
The handling of the vehicle will feel different when towing a
trailer. Beware of the 3 most common causes of towing-
related accidents: driver error, excessive speed, and overload-

Maintenance and care

Engine oil consumption
The amount of engine oil consumed depends on the oil viscosity, the
quality of the oil and the way the vehicle is driven.
More oil is consumed under driving conditions such as high speeds and
frequent acceleration and deceleration.
A new engine consumes more oil.
When judging the amount of oil consumption, keep in mind that the oil
may have become diluted, making it difficult to judge the true level
accurately.
Oil consumption: Max. 1.0 L per 1,000 km (1.1 qt./600 miles, 0.9 Imp.
qt./600 miles)
If your vehicle consumes more than 1.0 L (1.1 qt., 0.9 Imp. qt.) every
1000 km (600 miles), contact any authorized Lexus dealer or repairer, or
another duly qualified and equipped professional.
After changing the engine oil (IS220d and IS200d)
The oil change system should be reset. Perform the following procedures:
Switch the display to the odometer (P. 171) when the engine is
running.
Turn the “ENGINE START STOP” switch OFF.
While pressing the trip meter reset button, set the “ENGINE
START STOP” switch to IGNITION ON mode (but do not start the
engine because otherwise the reset mode will be cancelled). Con-
tinue to press and hold the button until the trip meter displays
“000000”.
