GAUGES, METERS AND SERVICE REMINDER INDICATORS

(o) Low Fuel Level Warning Light
This light comes on when the fuel level in the tank becomes
nearly empty. Fill the tank as soon as possible.
On inclines or curves, due to the movement of fuel in the tank,
the low fuel level warning light may come on earlier than usual.
(p) Automatic Headlight Leveling System Warning Light (vehicles with discharge headlight only)
This light warns that when there is a problem somewhere in the
automatic headlight leveling system.
The light will come on when the ignition key is turned to the
“ON” position, and will go off after a few seconds.
If it comes on while driving, have your vehicle checked by your
Lexus dealer.
(q) Low Tire Pressure Warning Light
This light warns that tire inflation pressure is critically low. The
light comes on when the ignition key is turned to the “ON”
position. It goes off after a few seconds. This indicates that the
low tire pressure warning system is functioning properly. If the light comes on while driving, adjust tire inflation pressure
to the specified level. (See “Specifications” on page 564.)
Once the
ignition switch is turned off, the warning light also go
off. If the light comes on again when the vehicle is started after
adjusting the tire inflation pressure to the specified level, have
the low tire pressure warning system checked at your Lexus
dealer.
If the light blinks once every second, the low tire pressure
warning system may be malfunctioning. Have the system
checked at your Lexus dealer.
If the light blinks twice every second, the low tire pressure
warning system needs to be initialized. For details, see “Tire
pressure warning system” on page 462.
(r) Dynamic Laser Cruise Control Master Warning Light
This light warns that there is a problem somewhere in the
dynamic laser cruise control system.
The light will come on when the ignition key is turned to the
“ON” position and will go off after a few seconds.
When the light comes on, the alarm sounds and the warning
code will appear on the display. At this time, the dynamic laser
cruise control is cancelled. For details, see “Dynamic laser
cruise control” on page 416.

FUEL TANK CAP
This indicates that the fuel filler door is on the left side of
your vehicle.
1. To open the fuel filler door, push the switch.
When refueling, turn off the engine.
CAUTION
Do not smoke, cause sparks or allow open flames
when refuelling. The fumes are flammable.
 When opening the cap, do not remove the cap
quickly. In hot weather, fuel under pressure could
cause injury by spraying out of the filler neck if the
cap is suddenly removed.

EXTERIOR EQUIPMENT
126
2. To remove the fuel tank cap, turn the cap
counterclockwise by 90 degrees (to the pressure point
1), and then turn it a additional 30 degrees (to point 2).
Pause slightly before removing it.
It is not unusual to hear a slight swoosh when the cap is
opened.
3. The removed cap can be stored on the back side of the
fuel filler door.
Position the cap so that the hooks point to the left and right, and
set it in the receptacle on the back side of the door.
When installing the cap, turn the cap clockwise until you
hear a click. When you hear the click, the cap is fully
closed.
If the cap is not tightened securely, the malfunction indicator
lamp comes on. Make sure the cap is tightened securely.
The indicator lamp goes off after driving several times. If the
indicator lamp does not go off, contact your Lexus dealer as
soon as possible.

EXTERIOR EQUIPMENT
127
CAUTION
Make sure the cap is installed securely to prevent fuel
spillage in the event of an accident.
 Use only a genuine Lexus fuel tank cap for
replacement. It is designed to regulate fuel tank
pressure.
NOTICE
To prevent damage to the cap, apply force only in the
turning direction to the cap. Do not pull or pry it.
In case the opener is not actuated
Open the auxiliary box in the luggage compartment, pull
the manual lever.
This is used in case the fuel filler door cannot be opened due
to a discharged battery or other trouble.

DRIVING TIPS
487
CAUTION
Do not exceed 72 km/h (45 mph) or the posted towing
speed limit, whichever is lower. Because instability
(swaying) of a towing vehicletrailer combination
usually increases as the speed increases, exceeding
72 km/h (45 mph) may cause loss of control.
 Slow down and downshift before descending steep
or long downhill grades. Do not make sudden
downshifts.
 Avoid holding the brake pedal down too long or too
frequently. This could cause the brakes to overheat
and result in reduced braking efficiency.
HOW TO SAVE FUEL AND MAKE
YOUR VEHICLE LAST LONGER
Improving fuel economy is easy — just take it easy. It will help
make your vehicle last longer, too. Here are some specific tips
on how to save money on both fuel and repairs:
 Keep your tires inflated at the correct pressure. Check
the pressure every two weeks, or at least once a month.
Underinflation causes tire wear and wastes fuel.
 Do not carry unneeded weight in your vehicle. Excess
weight puts a heavier load on the engine, causing greater
fuel consumption.
 Avoid lengthy warmup idling. Once the engine is
running smoothly, begin driving — but gently. Remember,
however, that on cold winter days this may take a little
longer.
 Always keep the automatic transmission selector lever
in the “D” position when engine braking is not required.
Driving with the overdrive off will reduce the fuel economy.
(For details, see “Automatic transmission (standard type)”
or “Automatic transmission (multi− mode type)” on page 389
or 398.)
 Accelerate slowly and smoothly. Avoid jackrabbit starts.
 Avoid long engine idling. If you have a long wait and you
are not in traffic, it is better to turn off the engine and start
again later.
