Maintenance and care
Emission inspection and maintenance (I/M) programs
Some states have vehicle emission in spection programs which include OBD
(On-Board Diagnostics) checks.

The OBD system monitors the operation of the emission control system.
■ If the malfunction indicator lamp comes on
The OBD system determines that a pr
oblem exists somewhere in the
emission control system. Your vehicle may not pass the I/M test and
may need to be repaired. Contact your Lexus dealer to service the
vehicle.
■ Y
our vehicle may not pass the I/M test:
●When the battery is disconnected or discharged
Readiness codes that are set during or
dinary driving are erased.
Also, depending on your driving habits, the readiness codes may not
be completely set.
●When the fuel tank cap is loose
The malfunction indicator lamp co mes on as tempor
ary malfunction
and your vehicle may not pass the I/M test.
■ When the malfunction indicator lamp goes off after se
veral driving
trips
The error code in the OBD system wi ll not be clear
ed unless the vehi-
cle is driven 40 or more times.
■ If y
our vehicle does not pass the I/M test
Contact your Lexus dealer to prep ar
e the vehicle for re-testing.

4-3. Do-it-yourself maintenance
CAUTION
The engine compartment contains many mechanisms and fluids that many move
suddenly, become hot, or become electrically energized. To avoid death or serious
injury:
■When working in the engine compartment:
●Keep hands, clothing, and tools away from the moving fan and engine drive belt.
●Be careful not to touch the engine, radiator, exhaust manifold and power steering
fluid reservoir, etc. right after driving as they may be hot. Oil and other fluids may
also be hot.
●Do not leave anything that may burn easily , such as paper or rags, in the engine
compartment.
●Do not smoke, cause sparks or expose an open flame to fuel or the battery. 
Fuel and battery fumes are flammable.
●Be extremely cautious when working on the battery. 
It contains poisonous and corrosive sulfuric acid.
■When the engine is running
Perform maintenance checks with adequate ventilation
■When working near the electric cooling fan or radiator grill:
Be sure the ignition is off. With the igni tion on, th
e electric cooling fan may automat-
ically start to run if the air conditioning is on and/
or if the coolant temperature is
high. ( P.262 )
■When working on or under the vehicle:
●Do not get under the vehicle with just the jack supporting it. 
Always use automotive jack stands or other solid supports.
●Use eye protection to prevent flying or falling material, fluid spray, etc. from get -
ting in your eyes.

4-3. Do-it-yourself maintenance
■Adding the engine oil
If the oil level is below or near the low
level mark, add engine oil of the same
type as already in the engine.
Make sure to check the oil type and prepare the items needed before adding.
Remove the oil filler cap.
Add engine oil slowly, checking the dipstick.
Return the filler cap and turn the ca
p clockwise until you hear a
click.
It takes about 1.6 qt. (1.5 L, 1.3 lmp.qt.) to raise the oil level from low to full on the
dipstick.
■ Recommended viscosity
Temperature range anticipated before next oil change.
SAE 5W-30 is the best choice for
goo
d fuel economy, and good starting
in cold weather.
If SAE 5W-30 is not available, SAE
1
0W-30 may be used. However, it
should be replaced with 5W-30 at
the next oil change.
Dummy
Oil gradeILSAC multigrade engine oil.
ItemsClean funnel (only for adding oil)

Maintenance and care
■Tire inflation pressure check interval
You should check the tire inflation pressur
e every two weeks, or at least once a
month. 
Do not forget the spare. The inflation pressure for the spare tire should be the same
as
that for the standard tire. ( P.364 )
■Effects of incorrect tire inflation pressure
Driving with incorrect tire inflation pressure may result in the following:
•Wasting fuel
• Reducing driving comfort and tire life
• Making your vehicle less safe to drive
If a tire needs frequent refilling, have it checked by your Lexus dealer.
■Instructions for checking tire inflation pressure
When checking tire inflation pressure, observing the following;
• Check only when the tires are cold. 
If your vehicle has been parked for at least 3 hours and has not been driven for
mor
e than 1 mile or 1.5 km since, you will get an accurate cold tire inflation pres -
sure reading.
• Always use a tire pressure gauge. 
The appearance of the tire can be misleadi n
g. In addition, tire inflation pressures
that are even just a few pounds off can degrade ride and handling.
• Do not bleed or reduce tire inflation pressure after driving. 
It is normal for the tire inflation pressure to be higher after driving.
• Never exceed the vehicle weight capacity. 
Passengers and luggage weight should be pla
ced so that the vehicle is bal-
anced.

NOTICE
■Before starting the engine
Inspect the ground under the vehicle.
If you find that fuel has leaked on to the ground, the fuel system has been damaged
and it is in
need of repair. Do not restart the engine.
The fuel pump shut off system stops suppl ying fuel to the engine to minimize
the risk of fuel leakage when the en gine stalls or an airbag inflates.
■To restart the engine after the system activates
Turn the ignition switch to ACC or LOCK once.
Restart it.
