Start the engine and turn the air 
conditioning system on to check 
that the radiator cooling fan oper-
ates and to check for coolant leaks 
from the radiator or hoses.

The fan operates when the air conditioning 

system is turned on immediately after a 

cold start. Confirm that the fan is operating 

by checking the fan sound and air flow. If it 

is difficult to check these, turn the air con-

ditioning system on and off repeatedly.

(The fan may not operate in freezing tem-

peratures.)

If the fan is not operating:
Stop the engine immediately and 
contact your Lexus dealer.
If the fan is operating:
Have the vehicle inspected at the 
nearest Lexus dealer.

WARNING

■

To prevent an accident or injury when 

inspecting under the hood of your 

vehicle

Observe the following precautions.

Failure to do so may result in serious 

injury such as burns.

●

If steam is seen coming from under the 

hood, do not open the hood until the 

steam has subsided. The engine com-

partment may be very hot.

●

Keep hands and clothing (especially a 

tie, a scarf or a muffler) away from the 

fan and belts. Failure to do so may 

cause the hands or clothing to be 

caught, resulting in serious injury.

●

Do not loosen the coolant reservoir 

cap while the engine and radiator are 

hot.

High temperature steam or coolant 

could spray out.

NOTICE

■

When adding engine coolant

Add coolant slowly after the engine has 

cooled down sufficiently. Adding cool 

coolant to a hot engine too quickly can 

cause damage to the engine.

■

To prevent damage to the cooling 

system

Observe the following precautions:

●

Avoid contaminating the coolant with 

foreign matter (such as sand or dust, 

etc.).

●

Do not use any coolant additive.

384

7-2. Steps to take in an emergency

1

Stop the engine. Shift the shift lever 
to P and set the parking brake.

2

Remove the mud, snow or sand 
from around the front wheels.

3

Place wood, stones or some other 
material under the front wheels to 
help provide traction.

4

Restart the engine.

5

Shift the shift lever to D or R and 
release the parking brake. Then, 
while exercising caution, depress 
the accelerator pedal.

■

When it is difficult to free the vehicle

Press the 

 switch to turn off TRAC. 

(



P.241)

If the vehicle becomes stuck

Carry out the following procedures 
if the tires spin or the vehicle 
becomes stuck in mud, dirt or snow:

Recovering procedure

WARNING

■

When attempting to free a stuck vehi-

cle

If you choose to push the vehicle back 

and forth to free it, make sure the sur-

rounding area is clear to avoid striking 

other vehicles, objects or people. The 

vehicle may also lunge forward or lunge 

back suddenly as it becomes free. Use 

extreme caution.

■

When shifting the shift lever

Be careful not to shift the shift lever with 

the accelerator pedal depressed.

This may lead to unexpected rapid accel-

eration of the vehicle that may cause an 

accident resulting in death or serious 

injury.

NOTICE

■

To avoid damage to the transmission 

and other components

●

Avoid spinning the tires and depress-

ing the accelerator pedal more than 

necessary.

●

If the vehicle remains stuck even after 

these procedures are performed, the 

vehicle may require towing to be 

freed.

: The engine oil capacity is a reference 

quantity to be used when changing the 
engine oil. Warm up and turn off the 
engine, wait more than 5 minutes, and 
check the oil level on the dipstick.

■

Engine oil selection

“Toyota Genuine Motor Oil” is used in 
your Lexus vehicle. Use Lexus 
approved “Toyota Genuine Motor 
Oil” or equivalent to satisfy the follow-
ing grade and viscosity.
Oil grade: 
ILSAC GF-6B multigrade engine oil
Recommended viscosity: 
SAE 0W-16

Outside temperature

SAE 0W-16 is the best choice for 
good fuel economy and good starting 
in cold weather.
If SAE 0W-16 is not available, SAE 
0W-20 oil may be used. However, it 
must be replaced with SAE 0W-16 at 

the next oil change.
Oil viscosity (0W-16 is explained here 
as an example):
• The 0W in 0W-16 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 16 in 0W-16 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:
API registered 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 

87.

●

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 

no need for concern.

Fuel information

You must only use unleaded gaso-
line.
Select octane rating 87 (Research 
Octane Number 91) or higher. Use 
of unleaded gasoline with an octane 
rating lower than 87 may result in 
engine knocking. Persistent knock-
ing can lead to engine damage.

At minimum, the gasoline you use 
should meet the specifications of 
ASTM D4814 in the U.S.A.

NOTICE

■

Notice on fuel quality

●

Do not use improper fuels. If improper 

fuels are used, the engine will be dam-

aged.

●

Do not use leaded gasoline.

Leaded gasoline can cause damage to 

your vehicle’s three-way catalytic con-

verters causing the emission control sys-

tem to malfunction.

●

Do not use gasohol other than the type 

previously stated.

Other gasohol may cause fuel system 

damage or vehicle performance prob-

lems.

●

Using unleaded gasoline with an 

octane number or rating lower than 

the level previously stated may cause 

persistent heavy knocking.

At worst, this may lead to engine damage 

and will void the vehicle warranty.

■

Fuel-related poor driveability

If poor driveability (poor hot starting, 

vaporization, engine knocking, etc.) is 

encountered after using a different type 

of fuel, discontinue the use of that type of 

fuel.

■

When refueling with gasohol

Take care not to spill gasohol. It can 

damage your vehicle’s paint.

the National Highway Traffic Safety 
Administration of the U.S. Department 
of Transportation.
It provides the purchasers and/or pro-
spective purchasers of Lexus vehicles 
with information on uniform tire quality 
grading.

Your Lexus dealer will help answer any 
questions you may have as you read this 
information.

■

DOT quality grades

All passenger vehicle tires must con-
form to Federal Safety Requirements 
in addition to these grades. Quality 
grades can be found where applicable 
on the tire sidewall between tread 
shoulder and maximum section width.

For example: Treadwear 200 Traction AA 
Temperature A

■

Treadwear

The treadwear grade is a comparative 
rating based on the wear rate of the 
tire when tested under controlled con-
ditions on a specified government test 
course.

For example, a tire graded 150 would 
wear one and a half (1 - 1/2) times as well 
on the government course as a tire graded 
100.
The relative performance of tires depends 
upon the actual conditions of their use. 
Performance may differ significantly from 
the norm due to variations in driving habits, 
service practices and differences in road 
characteristics and climate.
