WARNING
■If a safety system warning light does not come on
Should a safety system light such as the ABS and SRS warning light not come on when
you start the hybrid system, this could mean that these systems are not available to help
protect you in an accident, which could result in death or serious injury. Have the vehi-
cle inspected by your Lexus dealer immediately if this occurs.

to a displayed suggestion, use the meter control switches.
The suggestion function can be turned on/off. (Customizable features: P. 607)
■Suggestion to enable the power back door
If the power back door system is disabled (setting on set to off) and the

to turn the headlights off. To turn the headlights off, select “Yes”.
If a front door is opened after the power switch is turned off, this suggestion mes-
sage will not be displayed.
■Background color of the indicator/shift posi tion display area (except F SPORT models)
The background color of the indicator/shift position display area is changed according to
the driving mode as follows ( P. 377):
●Eco drive mode: Blue
●Sport mode: Red
■G-force display (if equipped)
●The G-force values may not be zero even when the vehicle is parked, such as when it is
parked on an incline.
●Depending on the vehicle usage conditions, the brake fluid pressure display may not
reach its maximum reading even though the brake pedal is fully depressed.
●If a 12-volt battery terminal is disconnect ed and reconnected, the steering amount dis-
play may be disabled temporarily. After driv ing the vehicle for a while, the display will

■Tire pressure
●It may take a few minutes to display the tire inflation pressure after the power switch is
turned to ON mode. It may also take a few minutes to display the tire inflation pressure
after inflation pressure has been adjusted.
●“---” may be displayed if the tire position information cannot be determined due to
unfavorable radio wave conditions.
●Tire inflation pressure changes with temperat ure. The displayed values may also be dif-
ferent from the values measured using a tire pressure gauge.
■Liquid crystal display
Small spots or light spots may appear on the display. This phenomenon is characteristic
of liquid crystal displays, and there is no problem continuing to use the display.
■Customization
Some functions can be customized. ( P. 109, 607)
WARNING
■Caution for use while driving
●When operating the multi-information display while driving, pay extra attention to the
safety of the area around the vehicle.
●Do not look continuously at the multi-info rmation display while driving as you may fail
to see pedestrians, objects on the road, etc. ahead of the vehicle.
■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, the information display monitor may respond
slowly, and display changes may be delayed.
For example, there is a lag between the dr iver’s shifting and the new gear number
appearing on the display. This lag could ca use the driver to downshift again, causing
rapid and excessive engine braking and possibly an accident resulting in death or
injury.
■Cautions during setting up the display
As the hybrid system needs to be operating during setting up the display, ensure that
the vehicle is parked in a place with adequa te 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
■While setting up the display
To prevent 12-volt battery discharge, ensure that the hybrid system is operating while
setting up the display features.

WARNING
■Operating the power back door
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may cause parts of the body to be caught, resulting in death or serious
injury.
●Remove any heavy loads, such as snow and ice, from the power back door before
opening it. Failure to do so may cause the power back door to suddenly shut again
after it is opened.

●In the following situations, the power back door may detect an abnormality and auto-
matic operation may be stopped. In this case, the power back door must then be
operated manually. Take extra care in this situation, as the stopped power back door
may suddenly open or close, causing an accident.
• When the power back door contacts an obstacle
• When the 12-volt battery voltage suddenly drops, such as when the power switch is turned to ON mode or the hybrid syst em is started during automatic operation
●In the event that the power back door is left
slightly open, the back door closer will auto-

RX450h_U_OM0E013U
WARNING
■When folding down the rear seatbacks and when the rear seatbacks are folded
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.
●Do not fold down the rear seatbacks while driving.
●Stop the vehicle on level grou nd, apply the parking brake and shift the shift lever to P.
●Do not allow anyone to sit on a folded rear seatback or in th e luggage compartment
while driving.
●Do not allow children to enter the luggage compartment.
■When operating the rear seatback
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.
●Keep other passengers from being hit by the rear seatback.
●Do not put your hands between the seats or near the moving parts, or let any part of
your body get caught.
●Power seat: Do not let children operate th e rear seatback. Other passengers may get
caught in the seat.

down. Do not let passengers sit in the seat while it is being folded down.
■Seat adjustment
To reduce the risk of sliding under the lap belt during a collision, do not recline the seat
more than necessary.
If the seat is reclined excessively, the lap belt may slide past the hips and apply restraint
forces directly to the abdomen, or your ne ck may contact the shoulder belt, increasing
the risk of death or serious inju ry in the event of an accident.
Adjustments should not be made while drivin g as the seat may unexpectedly move and
cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle.

Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.
●Make sure that the rear seatback is securely locked in position by lightly pushing it
back and forth.
●Check that the seat belts are not twisted or caught between or behind in the rear
