setting of the sun intermittently strikes the

windshield, or if bugs etc. are present on the

windshield.

■

Effects of vehicle speed on wiper operation (vehicles with rain-sensing windshield wip-

ers)

With the settings other than “AUTO” also, the time until drip prevention wiper sweep

occurs is changed depending on vehicle speed.

With the low speed wiper operation selected, wiper operation will be switched from low

speed to intermittent wiper operation only when the vehicle is stationary. (However,

when the sensor sensitivity is adjusted to the highest level, the mode cannot be switched.)

Caution regarding the use of windshield wipers in “AUTO” mode (vehicles with rain-

sensing windshield wipers)

The windshield wipers may operate unexpectedly if the sensor is touched or the wind-

shield is subject to vibration in “AUTO” mode. Take care that your fingers etc. anything

else does not become caught in the windshield wipers.

■

Caution regarding the use of washer fluid

Before refueling the vehicle

229

WARNING

■

When refueling the vehicle

Observe the following precautions while refueling the vehicle. Failure to do so may

result in death or serious injury.

●

After exiting the vehicle and before opening the fuel door, touch an unpainted metal

surface to discharge any static electricity. It is important to discharge static electricity

before refueling because sparks resulting from static electricity can cause fuel vapors

to ignite while refueling.

●

Always hold the grips on the fuel tank cap and turn it slowly to remove it.

A whooshing sound may be heard when the fuel tank cap is loosened. Wait until the

sound cannot be heard before fully removing the cap. In hot weather, pressurized fuel

may spray out of the filler neck and cause injury.

●

Do not allow anyone that has not discharged static electricity from their body to come

close to an open fuel tank.

●

Do not inhale vaporized fuel.

Fuel contains substances that are harmful if inhaled.

●

Do not smoke while refueling the vehicle.

Doing so may cause the fuel to ignite and cause a fire.

●

Do not return to the vehicle or touch any person or object that is statically charged.

This may cause static electricity to build up, resulting in a possible ignition hazard.

■

When refueling

Observe the following precautions to prevent fuel overflowing from the fuel tank:

●

Securely insert the fuel nozzle into the fuel filler neck.

●

Stop filling the tank after the fuel nozzle automatically clicks off.

●

Do not top off the fuel tank.

NOTICE

■

Refueling

Do not spill fuel during refueling.

Doing so may damage the vehicle, such as causing the emission control systems to

operate abnormally or damaging fuel system components or the vehicle’s painted sur-

face.

230

Press the opener to open the fuel
filler door.

Turn the fuel tank cap slowly to open,
and hang the fuel tank cap on the
back of the fuel filler door.

Opening the fuel tank cap

231

■

When the fuel filler door cannot be opened by pressing the inside switch

After refueling, turn the fuel tank cap
until you hear a click. Once the cap is
released, it will turn slightly in the oppo-
site direction.

Remove the cover inside the luggage compart-

ment and pull the lever.

Closing the fuel tank cap

WARNING

■

When replacing the fuel tank cap

Do not use anything but a genuine Lexus fuel tank cap designed for your vehicle. Doing

so may cause a fire or other incident which may result in death or serious injury.

Driving assist system

WARNING

■

Lexus Safety System +

The Lexus Safety System + is designed to operate under the assumption that the driver

will drive safely, and is designed to help reduce the impact to the occupants and the

vehicle in the case of a collision or assist the driver in normal driving conditions.
As there is a limit to the degree of recognition accuracy and control performance that

this system can provide, do not overly rely on this system. The driver is always responsi-

ble for paying attention to the vehicle’s surroundings and driving safely.

233

Two types of sensors, located behind the front grille and windshield, detect infor-
mation necessary to operate the drive assist systems.

Radar sensor
Front camera

Otherwise, the radar sensor may not operate properly, possibly leading to an accident

resulting in death or serious injury.

●

Keep the radar sensor and the radar sensor cover clean at all times.

●

Do not attach accessories, stickers (including transparent stickers) or other items to

the radar sensor, radar sensor cover or surrounding area.

●

Do not subject the radar sensor or its surrounding area to a strong impact.

If the radar sensor, front grille, or front bumper has been subjected to a strong impact,

■

To avoid malfunction of the front camera

Observe the following precautions.
Otherwise, the front camera may not operate properly, possibly leading to an accident

resulting in death or serious injury.

●

Keep the windshield clean at all times.
• If the windshield is dirty or covered with an oily film, water droplets, snow, etc.,
