GARAGE DOOR OPENER
The garage door opener (HomeLink Universal
Transceiver) is manufactured under license from
HomeLink
 and can be programmed to operate garage
doors, gates, entry doors, door locks, home lighting
systems, and security systems, etc.
(a) Programming the HomeLink
SV14007

1Buttons 2Indicator light
The HomeLink in your vehicle has 3 buttons and you can
store one program for each button.
To ensure correct programming into the HomeLink
, install a
new battery in the hand± held transmitter prior to
programming. The battery side of the hand± held transmitter must be pointed
away from the HomeLink
 during the programming process.
For Canadian users, follow the procedure in ªProgramming an
entrance gate/Programming all devices in the Canadian
marketº.
1. Decide which of 3 HomeLink
 buttons you want to
program.
2. Place your hand± held garage transmitter 25 to 75 mm (1
to 3 in.) away from the surface of the HomeLink
.
Keep the indicator light on the HomeLink
 in view while
programming.
3. Simultaneously press and hold the hand± held garage
transmitter button along with the selected HomeLink
 button.
4. When the indicator light on the HomeLink
 changes from
a slow to a rapid flash after 20 seconds, you can release both
buttons.
5. Test the operation of the HomeLink
 by pressing the newly
programmed button. If programming a garage door opener,
check to see if the garage door opens and closes.
If the garage door does not operate, identify if your garage
transmitter is of the ªRolling Codeº type. Press and hold the
programmed HomeLink
 button. The garage door has the
rolling code feature if the indicator light (on the HomeLink)
flashes rapidly and then remains lit after 2 seconds. If your
garage transmitter is the ªRolling Codeº type, proceed to the
heading ªProgramming a rolling code systemº.
6. Repeat steps 2 through 5 for each remaining HomeLink

button to program another device.

COMFORT ADJUSTMENT
106Pushing the ºAUTOº button for longer than 3 seconds
turns on or off the compass display.
The compass may not show the correct direction in the
following conditions:

The vehicle is stopped immediately after turning.
The compass does not adjust while the vehicle is stopped.
 The ignition switch is turned off immediately after turning.
 The vehicle is on an inclined surface.
 The vehicle is in a place where the earth's magnetic field is
subject to interference by artificial magnetic fields
(underground parking, under a steel tower, between
buildings, roof parking, near a crossing, near a large
vehicle, etc.).
 The vehicle is magnetized. (There is an magnet or a metal
object on or near the inside rear view mirror.)
 The battery has been disconnected.
 Any door is open.
The compass works to calibrate the direction automatically
while the vehicle is in motion, if deviation is small.
For obtaining additional precision or for complete calibrating,
see ºCALIBRATING THE COMPASSº below.
NOTICE
Do not put magnets or a metal object near the inside rear view mirror. Doing this may cause malfunction of thecompass sensor.
CALIBRATING THE COMPASS (deviation calibration)
The direction display on the compass deviates from the true
direction determined by the earth's magnetic field. The
amount of deviation varies according to the geographic
position of the vehicle.
To adjust for this deviation, stop the vehicle and push the
button for longer than about 6 seconds until the number (1±15)
appears on the display. Then push the button again, referring
to the following map to select the number of the zone where the
vehicle is.

otherwise damaged.
 The portion of the front pillar garnish (padding) containing
the curtain shield airbags inside (shaded in the illustration)
is scratched, cracked, or otherwise damaged.
NOTICE
Do not disconnect the battery cables before contacting
your Lexus dealer.
CHILD RESTRAINT
Child restraint precautions
Lexus strongly urges the use of child restraint systems for
children small enough to use them.
The laws of all 50 states in the U.S.A. and Canada now require
the use of a child restraint system.
Your vehicle conforms to SAE J1819.
If a child is too large for a child restraint system, the child should
sit in the rear seat and must be restrained using the vehicle's
seat belt. See ºSeat beltsº on page 109 for details.
CAUTION
 For effective protection in automobile accidents and
sudden stops, a child must be properly restrained,
using a seat belt or child restraint system depending
on age and size. Holding a child in your arms is not
a substitute for a child restraint system. In an
accident, the child can be crushed against the
windshield, or between you and the vehicle's interior
if you are unrestrained.
 Lexus strongly urges use of a proper child restraint
system which conforms to the size of the child,
installed on the rear seat. According to accident
statistics, the child is safer when properly restrained
in the rear seat than in the front seat.

THEFT PREVENTION LABELS
17L002
Your new vehicle carries theft prevention labels which are
approximately 56 mm (2.20 in.) by 16 mm (0.63 in.).

vehicle thefts by facilitating the tracing and recovery of parts
from stolen vehicles. The label is designed so that once it is
applied to a surface, any attempt to remove it will result in
destroying the integrity of the label. Transferring these labels
intact from one part to another will be impossible.
