WA R N I N G
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may cause the driver’s floor mat to slip, possibly interfering with the ped-
als while driving. An unexpect edly high speed may result or it may become difficult to
stop the vehicle. This could lead to an ac cident, resulting in death or serious injury.
■When installing the driver’s floor mat
●Do not use floor mats designed for other models or different model year vehicles,
even if they are Lexus Genuine floor mats.
●Only use floor mats designed for the driver’s seat.
●Always install the floor mat securely using the retaining hooks (clips) provided.
●Do not use two or more floor mats on top of each other.
●Do not place the floor mat bottom-side up or upside-down.
■Before driving
●Check that the floor mat is securely fixed in
the correct place with all the provided retain-
ing hooks (clips). Be especially careful to per-
form this check after cleaning the floor.
●With the engine stopped and the shift lever in
P, fully depress each pedal to the floor to
make sure it does not interfere with the floor

Exhaust gas precautions
Harmful substance to the human body is included in exhaust gases if inhaled.
WA R N I N G
Exhaust gases include harmful carbon monoxi de (CO), which is colorless and odorless.
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may cause exhaust gases enter the vehicle and may lead to an accident
caused by light-headedness, or may lead to death or a serious health hazard.
■Important points while driving
●Keep the back door closed.
●If you smell exhaust gases in the vehicle even when the back door is closed, open the
windows and have the vehicle inspected at your Lexus dealer as soon as possible.
■When parking
●If the vehicle is in a poorly ventilated area or a closed area, such as a garage, stop the
engine.
●Do not leave the vehicle with the engine running for a long time.
If such a situation cannot be avoided, park the vehicle in an open space and ensure
that exhaust fumes do not enter the vehicle interior.
●Do not leave the engine running in an area with snow build-up, or where it is snowing.
If snowbanks build up around the vehicle wh ile the engine is running, exhaust gases
may collect and enter the vehicle.
■Exhaust pipe
The exhaust system needs to be checked periodically. If there is a hole or crack caused
by corrosion, damage to a joint or abnormal exhaust noise, be sure to have the vehicle
inspected and repaired by your Lexus dealer.

■The meters and display illuminate when
The engine switch is in IGNITION ON mode.
■The brightness of the instrument panel lights
When the tail lights are turned on, the meter’
s brightness will be reduced slightly unless
the meter brightness leve l adjustment is set to the brightest setting.
If the tail lights are turned on when the surroundings are dark, the meter’s brightness will
be reduced slightly. However, when the surroundings are bright, such as during the day-
time, the meter’s brightness will not be reduced even if the tail lights are turned on.
■Customization
The meter display can be customized on the multi-information display. (P. 585)
WA R N I N G
■The information display at low temperatures
Allow the interior of the vehicle to warm up before using the liquid crystal information
display. At extremely low temperatures, th e information display monitor may respond
slowly, and display changes may be delayed.
For example, there is a lag between the driver’s shifting and the new gear number
appearing on the display. This lag could cau se the driver to downshift again, causing
rapid and excessive engine braking and po ssibly an accident resulting in death or
injury.
NOTICE
■To prevent damage to the engine and its components
●Do not let the indicator needle of the tachometer enter the red zone, which indicates
the maximum engine speed.
●The engine may be overheating if the engine coolant temperature gauge is in the red
zone (H). In this case, immediately stop the vehicle in a safe place, and check the
engine after it has cooled completely. ( P. 5 5 6 )
■Vo l t m e t e r
When the voltmeter indicates 19 V or higher or 9 V or lower while the engine is run-
ning, there may be a battery or charging system malfunction. Have the vehicle
inspected at your Lexus dealer.
■Engine oil pressure gauge
When the value of the engine oil pressure gauge drops while the engine is running,
stop the vehicle in a safe place immediat ely and check the amount of engine oil.
(  P. 4 7 5 )
When the oil pressure drops even though th e engine oil amount has not decreased, or
if the oil pressure does not increase when engine oil is added, contact your Lexus
dealer, as there may be a proble m with the lubrication system.

■Head-up display
The head-up display may seem dark or hard to see when viewed through sunglasses,
especially polarized sunglasses.
Adjust the brightness of the head-up display or remove your sunglasses.
■When the battery is disconnected
The customize settings of the head-up display will be reset.
■Display brightness
●The brightness of the head-up display can be adjusted on of the multi-information
display. Also, it is automatically adjust ed according to the ambient brightness.
●When the vehicle is stopped, the display may dim temporarily. This is not a malfunction.
■Enabling/disabling of the head-up display
If the head-up display is disabled, it will remain disabled when the engine switch is turned
off then back to IGNITION ON mode.
WA R N I N G
■Before using the head-up display
●Check that the position and brightness of the head-up display image does not inter-
fere with safe driving. Incorrect adjustment of the image’s position or brightness may
obstruct the driver’s view and lead to an accident, resulting in death or serious injury.
●Do not continuously look at the head-up di splay while driving as you may fail to see
pedestrians, objects on the road, etc. ahead of the vehicle.
■Caution for changing settings of the head-up display
As the engine needs to be running while changing the settings of the head-up display,
ensure that the vehicle is parked in a place with adequate ventilation. In a closed area
such as a garage, exhaust gases includin g harmful carbon monoxide (CO) may collect
and enter the vehicle. This may lead to death or a serious health hazard.

LX570_OM_OM60N01U_(U)3-2. Opening, closing and locking the doors
WA R N I N G
■Power back door
Observe the following precautions when operating the power back door.
Failure to do so may cause death or serious injury.
●Check the safety of the surrounding area to make sure there are no obstacles or any-
thing that could cause any of your belongings to get caught.
●If anyone is in the vicinity, make sure they are safe and let them know that the back
door is about to open or close.
●If the power back door system is turned off
with the main switch while the back door is
operating automatically, the automatic operation is stopped. The back door then has
to be operated manually. Take extra care when on an incline, as the back door may
open or close unexpectedly.
●If the operating conditions of the power back door are no longer met, a buzzer may
sound and the back door may stop opening or closing. The back door then has to be
operated manually. Take extra care when on an incline, as the back door may open or
close abruptly.
●On an incline, the back door may suddenly shut after it opens. Make sure the back
door is fully open and secure.
●In the following situations, the power back door may detect an abnormality and auto-
matic operation may be stopped. In this case, the back door has to be operated man-
ually. Take extra care when on an incline, as the back door may open or close abruptly.
• When the back door contacts an obstacle
• When the battery voltage suddenly drops, such as when the engine switch is turned to the IGNITION ON mode or the engine is started during automatic
operation
●If a bicycle carrier or similar heavy object is attached to the back door, the power
back door may not operate, causing itself to malfunction, or the back door may sud-
denly shut again after being opened, causing someone’s hands, head or neck to be
caught and injured. When installing an accessory part to the back door, using a genu-
ine Lexus part is recommended.
■Jam protection function
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may cause death or serious injury.
●Never use any part of your body to intentio nally activate the jam protection function.
●The jam protection function may not work if something gets caught just before the
back door fully closes. Be careful not to catch fingers or anything else.
●The jam protection function may not work depending on the shape of the object that
is caught. Be careful not to catch fingers or anything else.
