When trouble arises
WARNING
■Avoiding battery fires or explosions
Observe the following precautions to preven t accidentally igniting the flammable gas
that may be emitted from the battery.
●Make sure the jumper cable is connected to the correct terminal and that it is not
unintentionally in contact with any pa rt other than the intended terminal.
●Do not allow the jumper cables to come into contact with the “+” and “-” terminals.
●Do not allow open flame or use matches, cigarette lighters or smoke near the battery.
■Battery precautions
The battery contains poisonous and corrosive acidic electrolyte, while related parts
contain lead and lead compounds. Observ e the following precautions when handling
the battery.
●When working with the battery, always wear safety glasses and take care not to allow
any battery fluids (acid) to come into cont act with skin, clothing or the vehicle body.
●Do not lean over the battery.
●In the event that battery fluid comes into contact with the skin or eyes, immediately
wash the affected area with water and seek medical attention.
Place a wet sponge or cloth over the affected area until medical attention can be
received.
●Always wash your hands afte r handling the battery support, terminals, and other bat-
tery-related parts.
●Do not allow childre n near the battery.
NOTICE
■When handling jumper cables
Be careful that the jumper cables do not be come tangled in the cooling fan or any of
the belts when connecting or disconnecting them.

WARNING
■When inspecting under the hood of your vehicle
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in serious injury such as burns.
●If steam is seen coming from under the h ood, do not open the hood until the steam
has subsided. The engine compartment may be very hot.
●Keep hands and clothing (especially a tie, a scarf or a muffler) away from the fans and
belts. Failure to do so may cause the hands or clothing to be caught, resulting in seri-
ous injury.
●Do not loosen the radiator cap or the cool ant reservoir cap while the engine and radi-
ator are hot. High temperature steam or coolant could spray out.
NOTICE
■When adding engine coolant
Add coolant slowly after the engine has cool ed down sufficiently. Adding cool coolant
to a hot engine too quickly can cause damage to the engine.
■To prevent damage to the cooling system
Observe the following precautions:
●Avoid contaminating the coolant with foreig n matter (such as sand or dust etc.).
●Do not use any coolant additive.

LX570_OM_OM60T33U_(U)
WARNING
■When attempting to free a stuck vehicle
If you choose to push the vehicle back and forth to free it, make sure the surrounding
area is clear, to avoid striking other vehicles, objects or people. The vehicle may also
lunge forward or lunge back suddenly as it becomes free. Use extreme caution.
■When shifting the shift lever
Be careful not to shift the shift lever with the accelerator pedal depressed.
This may lead to unexpected rapid acceleration of the vehicle that may cause an acci-
dent and result in death or serious injury.
NOTICE
■To avoid damaging the transmission and other components
●Avoid spinning the rear wheels and depressing the accelerator pedal more than nec-
essary.
●If the vehicle remains stuck even after th ese procedures are performed, the vehicle
may require towing to be freed.
●When a warning message for the automatic transmission fluid temperature is dis-
played while attempting to free a stuck vehicle, immediately remove your foot from
the accelerator pedal and wait until the warning message disappears. Otherwise, the
transmission may become damaged. ( P. 532)

Vehicle specifications
This information has been prepared in accordance with regulations issued by the
National Highway Traffic Safety Administra tion of the U.S. Department of Trans-
portation.
It provides the purchasers and/or prospe ctive purchasers of Lexus vehicles with
information on uniform tire quality grading.
Your Lexus dealer will help answer any ques tions you may have as you read this infor-
mation.
■DOT quality grades
All passenger vehicle tires must conform to Federal Safety Requirements in
addition to these grades. Quality grades can be found where applicable on
the tire sidewall between tread shoulder and maximum section width.
For example: Treadwear 200 Traction AA Temperature A
■Treadwear
The treadwear grade is a comparative rati ng based on the wear rate of the tire
when tested under controlled conditio ns on a specified government test
course.
For example, a tire graded 150 would wear one and a half (1 - 1/2) times as well on
the government course as a tire graded 100.
The relative performance of tires depends upon the actua l conditions of their use.
Performance may differ significantly from the norm due to variations in driving
habits, service practices and difference s in road characteristics and climate.
■Traction AA, A, B, C
The traction grades, from highest to lowest, are AA, A, B and C, and they rep-
resent the tire’s ability to stop on wet pavement as measured under controlled
conditions on specified government test surfaces of asphalt and concrete.
A tire marked C may have poor traction performance.
Warning: The traction grade assigned to this tire is based on braking (straight
ahead) traction tests and does not include cornering (turning) traction.
Uniform Tire Quality Grading

578
LX570_OM_OM60T33U_(U)8-1. Specifications
■Temperature A, B, C
The temperature grades are A (the highes
t), B, and C, representing the tire’s
resistance to the generation of heat and its ability to dissipate heat when
tested under controlled conditions on a specified indoor laboratory test
wheel.
Sustained high temperature can cause the ma terial of the tire to degenerate and
reduce tire life, and excessive temperature can lead to sudden tire failure.
Grade C corresponds to a level of perfor mance which all passenger car tires must
meet under the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 109.
Grades B and A represent higher levels of performance on the laboratory test
wheel than the minimum required by law.
Warning: The temperature grades of a tire assume that it is properly inflated and
not overloaded.
Excessive speed, underi nflation, or excessive loading, either separately or in com-
bination, can cause heat buildup and possible tire failure.

WARNING
■During customization
As the engine needs to be running during customization, ensure that the vehicle is
parked in a place with adequate ventilation. In a closed area such as a garage, exhaust
gases including harmful carbon monoxide (CO) may collect and enter the vehicle. This
may lead to death or a serious health hazard.
NOTICE
■During customization
To prevent battery discharge, ensure that the engine is running while customizing fea-
tures.
