IS300h_EE(OM53C61E)
■Po p U p H o o d p re c a u t i o n s
●Before scrapping your vehicle, make sure to contact any authorized Lexus dealer or
repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional.
●The Pop Up Hood system cannot be reused once it has operated. Have it replaced by
any authorized Lexus dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped profes-
sional.
■Conditions under which the Pop Up Hood may not operate properly
The Pop Up Hood may not operate properly under the following conditions:
●If a pedestrian collides with the right or left corner of the front bumper or the side of the
vehicle. As such impacts may be difficult to detect, the system may not operate.
●If the vehicle speed is not detected correctly, such as if the vehicle is sliding sideways,
the system may not operate properly.
■Conditions under which the Pop Up Hood may not operate
The Pop Up Hood may not operate in the following situations:
●Colliding with a lying pedestrian
●A frontal impact applied to the front bumper while driving at speeds outside of the
operational speed range
●A side impact or rear impact
●A vehicle rollover (In some accident situations, the Pop Up Hood may operate.)
NOTICE
■Pop Up Hood precautions
●Make sure to close the hood before driving, as the system may not operate properly if
the hood is not fully closed.
●Make sure that all 4 tires are of the specified size and inflated to the specified tire
pressure (→P. 568). If tires of a different size are used, the system may not operate
properly.
●If something has hit the area around the front bumper, the sensors may be damaged
even if the Pop Up Hood has not operated. Have the vehicle inspected by any autho-
rized Lexus dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional.
●Do not remove or repair the parts or wiring of the Pop Up Hood, as doing so may
cause accidental operation or prevent the system from operating properly. If repair or
replacement is necessary, contact any authorized Lexus dealer or repairer, or
another duly qualified and equipped professional.
●Do not remove such components as the front bumper, hood or suspension, or
replace them with non-genuine parts, as doing so may prevent the system from oper-
ating properly.
●Do not install anything to the front bumper or hood, as doing so may prevent the sen-
sors from detecting an impact correctly and prevent the system from operating prop-
erly.
●Do not close the hood with force or apply load to the lifters, as doing so may damage
the lifters and prevent the system from operating properly.
●Do not modify the suspension, as changes made to the vehicle height may prevent
the system from operating properly.

■Tilt sensor detection considerations (if equipped)
The sensor may trigger the alarm in the following situations:
●The vehicle is transported by a ferry, trailer, train, etc.
●The vehicle is parked in a parking garage.
●The vehicle is inside a car wash that moves the vehicle.
●Any of the tires loses air pressure.
●The vehicle is jacked up.
●An earthquake occurs or the road caves in.
NOTICE
■To ensure the intrusion sensor function correctly
●Installing accessories other than genuine Lexus parts or leaving objects between the
driver’s seat and front passenger’s seat may reduce the detection performance.
●To ensure that the sensors operate properly,
do not touch or cover them.
●Do not spray air fresheners or other products
directly into the sensor holes.

Warning lights inform the driver of malfunctions in the indicated vehicle systems.
*1: These lights turn on when the power switch is turned to ON mode to indicate that a
system check is being performed. They will turn off after the hybrid system is on, or
after a few seconds. There may be a malfunction in a system if the lights do not come
on, or turn off. Have the vehicle inspected by any authorized Lexus dealer or repairer,
or another duly qualified and equipped professional.

■Tire information
●Increase the tire inflation pressure to 20.0 kPa (0.2 kgf/cm2 or bar, 3 psi) greater than
the recommended value when towing. (→P. 5 6 8 )
●Increase the air pressure of the trailer tires in accordance with the total trailer weight
and according to the values recommended by the manufacturer of your trailer.
■Break-in schedule
Lexus recommends that vehicles fitted with new power train components should not be
used for towing trailers for the first 800 km (500 miles).
■Safety checks before towing
●Check that the maximum load limit for the towing hitch/bracket hitch ball is not
exceeded. Bear in mind that the coupling weight of the trailer will add to the load
exerted on the vehicle. Also make sure that you will not be towing a load that exceeds
the maximum permissible axle capacity.
●Ensure that the trailer load is secure.
●Supplementary outside rear view mirrors should be added to the vehicle if the traffic
behind cannot be clearly seen with standard mirrors. Adjust the extending arms of
these mirrors on both sides of the vehicle so that they always provide maximum visibility
of the road behind.
■Maintenance
●Maintenance must be performed more frequently when using the vehicle for towing
due to the greater weight burden placed on the vehicle compared to normal driving.
●Retighten all bolts securing the hitching ball and bracket after towing for approximately
1000 km (600 miles).
NOTICE
■When the rear bumper strengthening material is aluminum
Ensure the steel bracket part does not come directly in contact with that area.
When steel and aluminum come into contact, there is a reaction similar to corrosion,
which will weaken the section concerned and may result in damage. Apply a rust inhib-
itor to parts that will come in contact when attaching a steel bracket.

■Temporary cancelation of the LDA system functions
If any of the following occurs, the LDA system functions will be temporarily canceled. The
functions will resume after the necessary operating conditions have returned.
●The turn signal lever is operated.
●The vehicle speed deviates from the operating range of the LDA system functions.
●When the lane lines cannot be recognized while driving.
●When the lane departure warning sounds.
The lane departure warning function will not operate again for a several seconds after it
has been activated, even if the vehicle leaves the lane again.
■The lane departure warning
Depending on the audio system sound level or air conditioning fan noise while the audio
system or air conditioning system is in use, it may be difficult to hear the warning sound.
■After the vehicle has been parked in the sun
The LDA system may not be available and a warning message (→P. 514) will be dis-
played for a while after driving has started. When the temperature in the cabin decreases
and the temperature around the camera sensor (→P. 261) becomes suitable for its oper-
ation, the functions will begin to operate.
■If there are lane markers on only one side of the vehicle
The lane departure warning will not operate for the side on which lane markers could not
be recognized.
■Conditions in which the function may not operate correctly
In the following situations, the camera sensor may be unable to recognize lane markers
causing the lane departure warning function to operate incorrectly. However, this does
not indicate a malfunction.
●When driving through an area with no lane markers, such as a tollbooth, a crossing or
before a ticket checkpoint
●When driving on a sharp curve
●When lane markers are extremely narrow or extremely wide
●When the vehicle leans to one side an unusual amount due to a heavy load or improper
tire inflation pressure
●When the following distance between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead is extremely
short
●When the lane markers are yellow (These may be more difficult for the system to rec-
ognize compared to white markers.)
●When the lane markers are broken, Botts’ dots (raised pavement markers) or stones
●When the lane markers are on a curb etc.
●When lane markers are obscured or partially obscured by sand, dirt, etc.
●When there are shadows on the road running parallel with lane markers, or if a shadow
covers the lane markers
●When driving on a particularly bright road surface, such as concrete
●When driving on a road surface that is bright due to reflected light
●When driving in a location where the light level changes rapidly, such as the entrance to
or exit from a tunnel

■If you notice any symptoms
If you notice any of the following symptoms, refer to the likely cause and the
solution, and re-check.
If the symptom is not resolved by the solution, have the vehicle inspected by
any authorized Lexus dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and
equipped professional.
Things you should know
Likely causeSolution
‰The image is difficult to see
• The vehicle is in a dark area
