●If the fuel filler door cannot be opened by
pressing the rear edge of the fuel filler door
with the doors unlocked, remove the cover
inside the luggage compartment and pull the
lever to open the fuel filler door.
●Using the lever to open the fuel filler door may
not allow for an adequate reduction in fuel
tank pressure before refueling. To prevent fuel
from spilling out, turn the cap slowly when
removing it.
During refueling, fuel may spill out from the
filler opening due to air being discharged from
inside the fuel tank. Therefore, fill the fuel tank
carefully and slowly.
If the fuel filler door cannot be opened by press-
ing its rear edge with the doors unlocked,
remove the cover inside the luggage compart-
ment using a tool, such as a flathead screw-
driver, and pull the lever to open the fuel filler
door.
When using a screwdriver, make sure to wrap its
tip with tape to protect the cover.
NOTICE
■ When refueling
When refueling your vehicle, make sure that
the fuel filler door lock is not pushed by the fuel
nozzle boot, etc., as this may cause a valve to
close, possibly resulting in a fuel spill.
If the fuel filler door lock has been pushed,
operate the fuel filler door opener switch in the
vehicle before continuing to refuel.

WARNING
■When using the Lexus parking assist monitor system
The parking assist monitor is a supplemental device intended to assist the driver when
backing up. When backing up, be sure to check visually behind and all around the vehi-
cle before proceeding.
Observe the following precautions to avoid an accident that could result in death or
serious injuries.
●Never depend on the parking assist monitor entirely when backing up. The image
and the position of the guide lines displaye d on the screen may differ from the actual
state.
Use caution, just as you woul d when backing up any vehicle.
●Be sure to back up slowly, depressing the brake pedal to control vehicle speed.
●If you seem likely to hit nearby vehicles, obstacles, people or mount the shoulder,
depress the brake pedal to stop the vehicle.
●The instructions given are only guidelines.
When and how much to turn the steering wheel will vary according to traffic condi-
tions, road surface conditions, vehicle condit ion, etc. when parking. It is necessary to
be fully aware of this before using the parking assist system.
●When parking, be sure to check that the parking space will accommodate your vehi-
cle before maneuvering into it.
●Do not use the parking assist monitor in the following cases:
• On icy or slick road surfaces, or in snow
• When using tire chains or emergency tires
• When the back door is not closed completely
• On roads that are not flat or stra ight, such as curves or slopes.
●In low temperatures, the screen may darken or the image may become faint. The
image could distort when the vehicle is movi ng, or you may become unable to see the
image on the screen. Be sure to check dire ct visually and with the mirrors all around
the vehicle before proceeding.
●If the tire sizes are changed, the position of the guide lines displayed on the screen
may change.
●The camera uses a special lens. The distances between objects and pedestrians that
appear in the image displayed on the screen will differ from the actual distances.
(  P. 371)
●Estimated course line display mode: If the st eering wheel is straight and the vehicle
width guide lines and the estimated course lines are not in alignment, have the vehicle
inspected by your Lexus dealer.

■ECB operating sound
ECB operating sound may be heard in the followi ng cases, but it does not indicate that a
malfunction has occurred.
●Operating sound heard from the engine compartment when the brake pedal is oper-
ated.
●Motor sound of the brake system heard from the front part of the vehicle when the
driver’s door is opened.
●Operating sound heard from the engine compartment when one or two minutes
passed after the stop of the hybrid system.
■EPS operation sound
When the steering wheel is operated, a motor sound (whirring sound) may be heard.
This does not indicate a malfunction.
■Automatic reactivation of TRAC, Tr ailer Sway Control and VSC systems
After turning the TRAC, Trailer Sway Contro l and VSC systems off, the systems will be
automatically re-enabled in the following situations:
●When the power switch is turned off
●If only the TRAC system is turned off, the TRAC will turn on when vehicle speed
increases
If both the TRAC and VSC systems are turned off, automatic re-enabling will not
occur when vehicle speed increases.
■Reduced effectiveness of the EPS system
The effectiveness of the EPS system is reduced to prevent the system from overheating
when there is frequent steering input over an extended period of time. The steering
wheel may feel heavy as a result . Should this occur, refrain from excessive steering input
or stop the vehicle and turn the hybrid system off. The EPS system should return to nor-
mal within 10 minutes.

The ABS is not designed to shorten the vehi cle’s stopping distance. Always maintain a
safe distance from the vehicle in front of you, especially in the following situations:
●When driving on dirt, grav el or snow-covered roads
●When driving with tire chains
●When driving over bumps on the road
●When driving over roads with potholes or uneven surfaces
■TRAC/VSC may not operate effectively when

■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.

In manual S-FLOW mode, as the system does not judge if a passenger is in a rear
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)

■Registering air conditioning settings to electronic keys
●Unlocking the vehicle using an electronic key and turning the power switch to ON
mode will recall that ke y’s registered air conditioning settings.
●When the power switch is turned off, the cu rrent air conditioning settings will automati-
cally be registered to the electronic key that was used to unlock the vehicle.
●The system may not operate correctly if more th an one electronic key is in the vicinity or
if the smart access system with push-button start is used to unlock a passenger door.
●The doors that can recall the air conditioning setting when unlocked using the smart
access system with push-button start can be changed.
* For details, contact your Lexus
dealer.
*: The doors that can recall the driving positi on memory are changed at the same time.
■Using automatic mode
Fan speed is adjusted automatically according to the temperature setting and the ambi-
ent conditions.
Therefore, the fan may stop for a while until wa rm or cool air is ready to flow immediately
after the “AUTO” button is pressed or “AUTO” is selected.
■How the system judges if a passenger is in the vehicle when in S-FLOW mode
In S-FLOW mode, the system judges if a passenger is in the vehicle as follows:
• Front passenger seat: A passeng er is judged to be in the front passenger seat when the
system detects an object on the front passenger seat, fastening of the front passenger
seat belt, changing of the set temperature for the front passenger seat or the opening
and closing of the front passenger door. (However, when only opening and closing of
the front passenger door is detected, the sy stem will judge that a passenger is not in
the front passenger seat after the vehicl e speed reaches approximately 12 mph (20
km/h) or more.)
• Rear seats (automatic S-FLOW mode only): A passenger is judged to be in a rear seat
when the system detects the opening and closin g of a rear door or the operation of the
rear air conditioning system (RX450hL).
If a passenger is judged to be in the vehicl e, the system will retain the judgement for a
certain amount of time after th e power switch is turned off.
■Operation of automatic S-FLOW mode
When the system is operating in automati c S-FLOW mode, if the system detects the
opening and closing of a rear door or the op eration of the rear air conditioning system
(RX450hL), S-FLOW mode will be disabled. To enable S-FLOW mode, select
on the option control screen. (In this case , the system will operate in manual S-FLOW
mode.)
■Changing from manual S-FLOW mode to automatic S-FLOW mode
Select on the option control screen to disable S-FLOW mode.
Turn the power switch off.
Wait for 60 minutes or more and change the power switch to ON mode.
■Using the voice command system
Air conditioning system can be operated using voice commands. For details, refer to the
“NAVIGATION SYSTEM OWNER’S MANUAL”.
