occur synchronized with the operation of the airbag system. (If the vehicle is bumped from behind, etc.)
●The airbag may not inflate even in case
of an accident, if it does not involve high impact. In such cases, the system may not make emergency calls auto-
matically. The system may also not make automatic emergency calls even if the airbag has been inflated. If any of
these should occur, please report to the Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) by operating the “SOS” but-
ton.

Making calls during driving may cause mishandling of th e steering wheel, which may lead to unexpected acci-
dents. Stop the vehicle and confirm the safety of the area before making the Emer-
gency Call.

Maintenance and care
Remove dirt and dust using a vac-
uum cleaner. Wipe dirty surfaces
with a cloth dampened with luke-
warm water.
 If dirt cannot be removed, wipe it off
with a soft cloth dampened with
neutral detergent diluted to approx-
imately 1%.
Wring out any excess water from
the cloth and thoroughly wipe off
remaining traces of detergent and
water.
■Shampooing the carpets
There are several commercial foaming-type cleaners available. Use a sponge or brush to apply the foam. Rub in overlapping cir-
cles. Do not use water. Wipe dirty surfaces and let them dry. Excellent results are obtained by keeping the carpet as dry as
possible.
■Handling the seat belts
Clean with mild soap and lukewarm water
using a cloth or sponge. Also check the belts periodically for excessive wear, fraying or cuts.
■When cleaning the carpeted portions of
the glove box, console box, etc.
If a strong adhesive tape is used, there is a
possibility that the surface of the carpet could be damaged.
NOTICE
■When using a high-pressure car wash
●When washing the vehicle, do not let
water from the high-pressure washer directly hit the camera, the area around the camera or inside of the out-
side door handles. Due to the shock from high-pressure water, it is possible that the device may not operate nor-
mally.

7-2.Steps to take in an emergency
If your vehicle needs to be
towed
If towing is necessary, we recom-
mend having your vehicle towed by
any authorized Lexus retailer or
Lexus authorized repairer, or any
reliable repairer or commercial
towing service, using a wheel-lift
type truck or flatbed truck.
Use a safety chain system for all
towing, and abide by all state/pro-
vincial and local laws.
WARNING
Observe the following precautions. Failure to do so may result in death or
serious injury.
■When towing the vehicle
LC500: Be sure to transport the vehicle with all four wheels raised off the ground. If the vehicle is towed with the tires con-
tacting the ground, the drivetrain and related parts may be damaged or an accident may occur due to a change in
direction of the vehicle.
LC500h: Be sure to transport the vehi- cle with all four wheels raised off the
ground. If the vehicle is towed with the tires contacting the ground, the drive-train and related parts may be damaged,
an accident may occur due to a change in direction of the vehicle or electricity generated by the operation of the motor
may cause a fire to occur depending on the nature of the damage or malfunction.
■While towing
●When towing using cables or chains, avoid sudden starts, etc. which place excessive stress on the towing eyelets,
cables or chains. The towing eyelets, cables or chains may become dam-aged, broken debris may hit people,
and cause serious damage.
●Do not turn the engine switch off.This may lead to an accident as the
rear wheels will be locked by the park- ing lock. Also, there is a possibility that the steering wheel is locked and can-
not be operated.
■Installing towing eyelets to the vehi- cle
Make sure that towing eyelets are installed securely.
If not securely installed, towing eyelets may come loose during towing.
