Solid, stationary, unpainted metallic point away from the battery and any mov-
ing parts as shown in the illustration

Start the engine of the second vehi-
cle. Increase the engine speed
slightly and maintain at that level for
approximately 5 minutes to
recharge the battery of your vehi-
cle.

Open and close any of the doors of
your vehicle with the engine switch
off.

Maintain the engine speed of the
second vehicle and start the engine
of your vehicle by turning the
engine switch to ON.

Once the vehicle’s engine has
started, remove the jumper cables
in the exact reverse order from
which they were connected.

To install the engine cover, conduct the

removal procedure in reverse. After

installing, check that the fixed pins are

inserted securely.

Once the engine starts, have the vehi-
cle inspected at your Lexus dealer as
soon as possible.

■

Starting the engine when the battery is

discharged

The engine cannot be started by push-start-

ing.

■

To prevent battery discharge

●

Turn off the headlights, the air condition-

ing system, the audio system, etc. while

the engine is off.

●

Turn off any unnecessary electrical com-

ponents when the vehicle is running at a

low speed for an extended period, such

as in heavy traffic.

■

When removing the battery terminals

When the battery terminals are removed,

the information stored in the ECU is

cleared. Before removing the battery termi-

nals, contact your Lexus dealer.

■

Charging the battery

The electricity stored in the battery will dis-

charge gradually even when the vehicle is

not in use, due to natural discharge and the

draining effects of certain electrical appli-

ances. If the vehicle is left for a long time,

the battery may discharge, and the engine

may be unable to start. (The battery

recharges automatically during driving.)

■

Replacing the battery

●

Use a genuine battery specifically

designed for use with the Stop & Start

system or a battery with equivalent speci-

fications to a genuine battery. If an unsup-

ported battery is used, Stop & Start

system functions may be restricted to

protect the battery. Also, battery perfor-

mance may decrease and the engine may

not be able to restart. Contact your

Lexus dealer for details.

●

Use a battery that conforms to European

regulations.

●

Use a battery that the case size is same as

the previous one (LN4), 20 hours rate

capacity (20HR) is equivalent (75Ah) or

greater, and performance rating (CCA)

is equivalent (776A) or greater.

• If the sizes differ, the battery cannot be

properly secured.

• If the 20 hour rate capacity is low, even if

the time period where the vehicle is not

used is a short time, the battery may dis-

charge and engine may not be able to

start.

●

For details, consult your Lexus dealer.

■

When recharging or replacing the bat-

tery

The Stop & Start system may not automati-

cally stop the engine for up to an hour.

WARNING

■

When removing the battery termi-

nals

Always remove the negative (-) terminal

first. If the positive (+) terminal contacts

any metal in the surrounding area when

the positive (+) terminal is removed, a

spark may occur, leading to a fire in addi-

tion to electrical shocks and death or

serious injury.

■

Avoiding battery fires or explosions

Observe the following precautions to

prevent accidentally igniting the flamma-

ble gas that may be emitted from the bat-

tery:

●

Make sure each jumper cable is con-

nected to the correct terminal and that

it is not unintentionally in contact with

any other than the intended terminal.

●

Do not allow the other end of the

jumper cable connected to the “+” ter-

minal to come into contact with any

other parts or metal surfaces in the

area, such as brackets or unpainted

metal.

●

Do not allow the + and - clamps of the

jumper cables to come into contact

with each other.

●

Do not smoke, use matches, cigarette

lighters or allow open flame near the

battery.

Outside temperature

Oil viscosity (0W-20 is explained here
as an example):
• The 0W in 0W-20 indicates the

characteristic of the oil which allows
cold startability. Oils with a lower
value before the W allow for easier
starting of the engine in cold
weather.

• The 20 in 0W-20 indicates the vis-

cosity characteristic of the oil when
the oil is at high temperature. An oil

with a higher viscosity (one with a
higher value) may be better suited if
the vehicle is operated at high
speeds, or under extreme load con-
ditions.

How to read oil container label:
The International Lubricant Specifica-
tion Advisory Committee (ILSAC)
Certification Mark is added to some oil
containers to help you select the oil
you should use.

Gasoline quality

In very few cases, driveability problems may

be caused by the brand of gasoline you are

using. If driveability problems persist, try

changing the brand of gasoline. If this does

not correct the problem, consult your Lexus

dealer.

■

Recommendation of the use of gasoline

containing detergent additives

●

Lexus recommends the use of gasoline

that contains detergent additives to avoid

the build-up of engine deposits.

●

All gasoline sold in the U.S.A. contains

minimum detergent additives to clean

and/or keep clean intake systems, per

EPA’s lowest additives concentration

program.

●

Lexus strongly recommends the use of

Top Tier Detergent Gasoline. For more

information on Top Tier Detergent Gas-

oline and a list of marketers, please go to

the official website www.toptiergas.com.

■

Recommendation of the use of low

emissions gasoline

Gasolines containing oxygenates such as

ethers and ethanol, as well as reformulated

gasolines, are available in some cities.

These fuels are typically acceptable for use,

providing they meet other fuel require-

ments.
Lexus recommends these fuels, since the

formulations allow for reduced vehicle

emissions.

■

Non-recommendation of the use of

blended gasoline

●

Use only gasoline containing up to 15%

ethanol.

DO NOT use any flex-fuel or gasoline

that could contain more than 15% etha-

nol, including from any pump labeled
E30 (30% ethanol

), E50 (50% eth-

anol

), E85 (85% ethanol

)

(which are only some examples of fuel

containing more than 15% ethanol).

●

If you use gasohol in your vehicle, be sure

that it has an octane rating no lower than

91.

●

Lexus does not recommend the use of

gasoline containing methanol.

■

Non-recommendation of the use of gas-

oline containing MMT

Some gasoline contains an octane enhanc-

ing additive called MMT (Methylcyclopen-

tadienyl Manganese Tricarbonyl).
Lexus does not recommend the use of gas-

oline that contains MMT. If fuel containing

MMT is used, your emission control system

may be adversely affected.
The malfunction indicator lamp on the

instrument cluster may come on. If this hap-

pens, contact your Lexus dealer for service.

■

If your engine knocks

●

Consult your Lexus dealer.

●

You may occasionally notice light knock-

ing for a short time while accelerating or

driving uphill. This is normal and there is

Fuel information

You must only use unleaded gaso-
line.
Select premium unleaded gasoline
with an octane rating of 91
(Research Octane Number 96) or
higher required for optimum engine
performance and fuel economy. If
the octane rating is less than 91,
damage to the engine may occur
and may void the vehicle warranty.
At minimum, the gasoline you use
should meet the specifications of
ASTM D4814 in the U.S.A..
