■S-FLOW mode
In S-FLOW mode, priority for the airflo w is given to the front seats, reducing
the airflow and air conditioning effect on the rear seats. When in S-FLOW
mode, airflow from the rear air condit ioning system is stopped. (RX450hL)
Operation in S-FLOW mode differs according to the following conditions: • Priority is given to the driver’s se at only when: Manual S-FLOW mode:
When no passenger is judged to be in the front passenger seat.
Automatic S-FLOW mode: When no passeng ers are judged to be in the front
passenger seat or rear seats. • Priority is given to the front seats when: Manual S-FLOW mode is selected
or no passengers are judged to be in the rear seats when in automatic S-
FLOW mode.
• S-FLOW mode will be disa bled when: A passenger is judged to be in a rear
seat when in automatic S-FLOW mode.
Depending on the set temperature, operation in S-FLOW mode may not
change as described above.
When certain conditions are met and priori ty is given to the driver’s seat only,
the temperature indicator for the fr ont passenger side will turn off.
How the system judges if a passenger is in the vehicle: P. 518
The following S-FLOW modes are available:
Automatic S-FLOW mode
In this mode, when a passenger is judg ed to be in a rear seat, S-FLOW mode
will be automatically disabled.
The indicator will illuminate wh en S-FLOW mode is enabled.
To enable/disable S-FLOW mode and enter manual S-FLOW mode, select
on the option control screen.
How the system judges if a passenger is in the vehicle:  P. 518
Manual S-FLOW mode
When is selected, S-FLOW mode will be manually enabled/disabled.

seat, S-FLOW mode will not be disabled automatically.
To disable S-FLOW mode automatically by opening and closing a rear door or
operating the rear air conditioning syst em (RX450hL), change to automatic S-
FLOW mode. ( P. 518)

Maintenance and care
RX450h_RX450hL_U
■Caring for leather areas
Lexus recommends cleaning the interior of the vehicle at least twice a year to maintain
the quality of the vehicle’s interior.
■Shampooing the carpets
There are several commercial foaming-type cleaners available. Use a sponge or brush to
apply the foam. Rub in overlapp ing circles. Do not use water. Wipe dirty surfaces and let
them dry. Excellent results are obtained by keeping the carpet as dry as possible.
■Seat belts
Clean with mild soap and lukewarm water using a cloth or sponge. Also check the belts
periodically for excessive wear, fraying or cuts.
WARNING
■Water in the vehicle
●Do not splash or spill liquid in the vehicle, su ch as on the floor, in the hybrid battery
(traction battery) air vents, and in the luggage compartment.
Doing so may cause the hybrid battery, elec trical components, etc. to malfunction or
catch fire.
●Do not get any of the SRS components or wiring in the vehicle interior wet. (P. 38)
An electrical malfunction ma y cause the airbags to deploy or not function properly,
resulting in death or serious injury.
●Vehicles with wireless charger:
Do not let the wireless charger ( P. 549) get wet. Failure to do so may cause the
charger to become hot and cause burns or could cause electric shock resulting in
death or serious injury.
■Cleaning the interior (especially instrument panel)
Do not use polish wax or polish cleaner. Th e instrument panel may reflect off the wind-
shield, obstructing the driver’s view and le ading to an accident, resulting in death or
serious injury.

6127-3. Do-it-yourself maintenance
RX450h_RX450hL_U
Your vehicle is equipped with a tire pressure warning system that uses tire pres-
sure warning valves and transmitters to detect low tire inflation pressure before
serious problems arise.
◆Installing tire pressure warning valves and transmitters
When replacing tires or wheels, tire pr essure warning valves and transmitters
must also be installed.
When new tire pressure wa rning valves and transmitters are installed, new ID
codes must be registered in the tire pressure warning computer and the tire
pressure warning system must be initia lized. Have tire pressure warning valve
and transmitter ID codes registered by your Lexus dealer. ( P. 613)
◆Initializing the tire pressure warning system
■The tire pressure warning system must be initialized in the following circum-
stances:
●When the tire inflation pressure is changed such as when changing travel-
ing speed.
●When the tire inflation pressure is changed such as when the tire size is
changed.
●When rotating the tires
When the tire pressure warning system is initialized, the current tire inflation
pressure is set as the benchmark pressure.
Tire pressure warning system
●The tire pressure detected by the tire
pressure warning system can be dis-
played on the multi-information display.
The illustration used is intended as an exam-
ple, and may differ from the image that is
actually displayed on the multi-information
display.
●If the tire pressure drops below a prede-
termined level, the driver is warned by a
screen display and a warning light.
