Please note that this manual applies to
all models and explains all equipment,
including options. Therefore, you may
find some explanations for equipment
not installed on your vehicle.
All specifications provided in this man-
ual are current at the time of printing.
However, because of the Lexus policy
of continual product improvement, we
reserve the right to make changes at
any time without notice.
Depending on specifications, the vehi-
cle shown in the illustrations may differ
from your vehicle in terms of color and
equipment.
Approximately five hours after the
engine is turned off,
you may hear sound coming from
under the vehicle for several minutes.
This is the sound of a fuel evaporation
leakage check and, it does not indicate
a malfunction.
A wide variety of non-genuine spare
parts and accessories for Lexus vehi-
cles are currently available in the mar-
ket. You should know that Toyota does not warrant these products and is not
responsible for their performance,
repair, or replacement, or for any dam-
age they may cause to, or adverse
effect they may have on, your Lexus
vehicle.
This vehicle should not be modified
with non-genuine Lexus products.
Modification with non-genuine Lexus
products could affect its performance,
safety or durability, and may even vio-
late governmental regulations. In addi-
tion, damage or performance
problems resulting from the modifica-
tion may not be covered under war-
ranty.
The installation of a mobile two-way
radio system in your vehicle could
affect electronic systems such as:

Hybrid system
 Multiport fuel injection sys-
tem/sequential multiport fuel injec-
tion system
 Lexus Safety System +
 Anti-lock brake system
 Vehicle dynamics integrated man-
agement
 SRS airbag system
 Seat belt pretensioner system
Be sure to check with your Lexus
dealer for precautionary measures or
special instructions regarding installa-
tion of a mobile two-way radio system.

LC500h: High voltage parts and
cables on the hybrid vehicles emit
approximately the same amount of
electromagnetic waves as the conven-
tional gasoline powered vehicles or
home electronic appliances despite of
their electromagnetic shielding.
LC500h: Unwanted noise may occur
in the reception of the mobile two-way
radio.
The vehicle is equipped with sophisti-
cated computers that will record cer-
tain data, such as:
The recorded data varies according to

• Engine speed/Electric motor speed (traction motor speed)
• Accelerator status
•Brake status
• Vehicle speed
• Operation status of the driving assist systems, such as the ABS and
pre-collision system
• Images from the front camera (avail- able only when certain safety sys-
tems are activated, which varies
depending on the vehicle specifica-
tions).
 Data Transmission
Your vehicle may transmit the data
recorded in these computers to Lexus without notification to you.
