AUDIO
222(c) Your power antenna
The antenna automatically extends when the radio is on, and
retracts
when the radio mode is off. However, even if you turn
off the radio when the radio on the rear seat audio system is on,
the antenna does not retract.
21X509
To adjust the height of the antenna manually, push the
switch at either side, this may be performed during
antenna extension. The maximum extension length is 850
mm (33.5 in.).
Every time you turn the radio on, the antenna will extend to its
previous position.
Clean the antenna mast periodically with a clean dry cloth.
CAUTION
Before extending the antenna, confirm that no one is
close enough to get injured.
NOTICE
 Retract the antenna when entering or passing
through low structures, such as a garage or an
automatic car wash. Failure to do so may damage the
antenna.
 The antenna mast has to be extended higher than 100
mm (3.94 in.) length when the audio is on. Extend the
antenna mast when the radio signal is weak.
 Putting a film (especially a conductive or metallic
film) on the righthand rear quarter window may
affect the reception of radio or mobile telephone. For
the installation of the film, consult with your Lexus
dealer.

STARTING AND DRIVING
255

To ensure that the threeway catalytic converter and
the entire emission control system operate properly,
your vehicle must receive the periodic inspections
required by the Lexus Maintenance Schedule. For
scheduled maintenance information, refer to the
“Owner’s Manual Supplement / Scheduled
Maintenance”.
ENGINE EXHAUST CAUTION
CAUTION
Avoid inhaling the engine exhaust. It contains
carbon monoxide, which is a colorless and odorless
gas. It can cause unconsciousness or even death.
 Make sure the exhaust system has no holes or loose
connections. The system should be checked from
time to time. If you hit something, or notice a change
in the sound of the exhaust, have the system checked
immediately.
 Do not run the engine in a garage or enclosed area
except for the time needed to drive the vehicle in or
out. The exhaust gases cannot escape, making this
a particularly dangerous situation.
 Do not remain for a long time in a parked vehicle with
the engine running. If it is unavoidable, however, do
so only in an unconfined area and adjust the heating
or cooling system to force outside air into the vehicle.
Keep the back door closed while driving. An open or
unsealed back door may cause exhaust gases to be
drawn into the vehicle.
 To allow proper operation of your vehicle’s
ventilation system, keep the inlet grilles in front of the
windshield clear of snow, leaves, or other
obstructions.
 If you smell exhaust fumes in the vehicle, open the
windows and close the back door to ensure plenty of
fresh air enters the vehicle. If you can smell exhaust
fumes even though there are no other vehicles in the
surrounding area, have your vehicle checked by your
Lexus dealer. Continued inhalation of exhaust fumes
can lead to death by gas poisoning.

STARTING AND DRIVING
303
If the tire pressure warning light blinks...
31x609
If the tire pressure warning light blinks when the ignition
switch is turned to the “ON” position, the tire pressure
warning system is not working properly.
The system will be disabled in the following conditions:
(When the condition becomes normal, the system will work
properly.)

If tires not equipped with tire pressure warning valves and
transmitters are used.
 If the ID code on the tire pressure warning valves and
transmitters is not registered.
 If electronic devices or facilities using similar radio wave
frequencies are nearby.
 If a radio set at similar frequencies is in use in the vehicle. 
If a window tint that affects the radio wave signals is
installed.
 If the tire pressure warning select switch is set to a dif ferent
tire setting.
 If there is a lot of snow or ice on the vehicle, in particular
around the wheels or wheel housings.
 If non− genuine Lexus wheels are used.
 If tire chains are used.
 If the spare tire is in a location subject to poor radio wave
signal reception.
 If the tire inflation pressure is 500 kPa (5.1 kgf/cm2
or bar,
73 psi) or higher.
If the tire pressure warning light blinks frequently when the
ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position, have it checked
by your Lexus dealer.
Even if you use genuine wheels, the tire pressure warning
system may not work properly with some types of tires.
Pushing the tire pressure warning reset switch should not turn
off the tire pressure warning light.

DRIVING TIPS
316Make sure the engine oil viscosity is suitable for the cold
weather.
See page 412 for recommended viscosity. Leaving a heavy
summer oil in your vehicle during winter months may cause
harder starting. If you are not sure about which oil to use, call
your Lexus dealer
− they will be pleased to help.
Check the electronic ignition system for loose
connections or obvious damage.
Keep the door locks from freezing.
Squirt lock de −icer or glycerine into the locks to keep them from
freezing.
Use a washer fluid containing an antifreeze solution.
This product is available at your Lexus dealer and most auto
parts stores. Follow the manufacturer’s directions for how
much to mix with water.
NOTICE
Do not use engine antifreeze or any other substitute
because it may damage your vehicle’s paint.
Do not use your parking brake when there is a possibility
it could freeze.
When parking, put the transmission into “P” and block the front
wheels. Do not use the parking brake, or snow or water
accumulated in and around the parking brake mechanism may
freeze the parking brake, making it hard to release. Keep ice
and snow from accumulating under the fenders.
Ice and snow built up under your fenders can make steering
difficult. During bad winter driving, stop and check under the
fenders occasionally.
Depending on where you are driving, we recommend you
carry some emergency equipment.
Some of the things you might put in the vehicle are tire chains,
window scraper, bag of sand or salt, flares, small shovel,
jumper cables, etc.

IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY
378Voice command error messages:
“Pardon”
The system has not been able to match your command with a
word that it knows. Repeating the command distinctly should
fix the problem. After 3 pardon responses, the system will try
to guess the command you are requesting. If correct, say
“Yes”, if not, say “No” and the system will prompt you with its
next−best guess.
“Slower, please”
Repeat the command after a short pause. This response
normally happens if you say a command before the system is
ready for it or if there is substantial background noise.
General tips for better speech recognition:

Noise may confuse the speech recognition system. You
usually get better performance from the system in quieter
conditions:

The air conditioning/heater fan creates noise. Turn it down
or off for better speech system performance.
 Driving at high speeds creates louder engine noise and
wind noise. You may get better results at lower speeds.
 An open window or an open moon roof results in more noise
in the vehicle. Close all windows for better results.
 Noisy rainstorms can also reduce performance.
 If passengers are talking while you use the speech system,
it may be confused by their speech. You will get better
results if all occupants of the vehicle are quiet while the
system is listening for commands.

Personal calling—the system is only listening for about 5
seconds aft er it prompts you to speak. If the system does not
hear a response, it will prompt you again, or cancel the
transaction. If you begin to speak too soon, it will tell you
“Slower, please”. Try pausing for a half second before
speaking.

IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY
384
IF YOU LOSE YOUR KEYS ORLOCK YOURSELF OUT
You can purchase a new key at your Lexus dealer if you
can give them the key number and master key.
Even if you lose only one key, contact your Lexus dealer to
make a new key. If you lose all your master keys, you cannot
make new keys; the whole engine immobilizer system must be
replaced.
See the suggestion given in “Keys” on page 8.
You can use the wireless remote control system with the new
key. Contact your Lexus dealer for detailed information.
If your keys are locked in the vehicle and you cannot get a
duplicate, many Lexus dealers can still open the door for you
using sp ecial tools. If your vehicle is equipped with Lexus Link
System, call the Lexus Link Call Center 1 −800−25−LEXUS
(Toll−Free) (1 −800− 255−3987) and select the option for Lexus
Link. Once you provide the Lexus Link Call Center Advisor
with your Lexus Link PIN (Personal Identification Number),
they will unlock your vehicle.
NOTICE
You must provide the Lexus Link operator with your
Lexus Link PIN (Personal Identification Number ) before
they lock/unlock your vehicle or activate a remote horn
and lights. However, the Lexus Link System will not be
able to lock or unlock your vehicle or perform lights
flashing/remote horn if it has been parked for 48 hours
or more after the ignition is turned off. Upon
subscription expiration, all Lexus Link services (i.e.
automatic notification, emergency call functions,
service call functions, remote door locking/unlocking
function, remote horn and lights function) are
deactivated.
If you must break a window to get in, we suggest breaking the
smallest side window because it is the least expensive to
replace. Be extremely cautious to avoid glass cuts.
