■

Replacing a flat tire

●

Do not touch the disc wheels or the

area around the brakes immediately

after the vehicle has been driven.

After the vehicle has been driven the

disc wheels and the area around the

brakes will be extremely hot. Touching

these areas with hands, feet or other

body parts while changing a tire, etc.

may result in burns.

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.

■

Battery precautions

The battery contains poisonous and cor-

rosive acidic electrolyte, while related

parts contain lead and lead compounds.

Observe the following precautions when

handling the battery:

●

When working with the battery, always

wear safety glasses and take care not

to allow any battery fluids (acid) to

come into contact with skin, clothing

or the vehicle body.

WARNING

■

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

fans and belts. Failure to do so may

cause the hands or clothing to be

caught, resulting in serious injury.

●

Do not loosen the engine coolant res-

ervoir cap while the engine and engine

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.

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 damaging the transmission

and other components

●

Avoid spinning the wheels and

depressing 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.

●

When a warning message for the

automatic transmission fluid tempera-

ture is displayed while attempting to

free a stuck vehicle, immediately

remove your foot from the accelerator

pedal and wait until the warning mes-

sage disappears. Otherwise, the trans-

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-6A multigrade engine oil
Recommended viscosity:
SAE 0W-20
SAE 0W-20 is the best choice for
good fuel economy and good starting
in cold weather.
If SAE 0W-20 is not available, SAE
5W-20 oil may be used. However, it
must be replaced with SAE 0W-20 at
the next oil change.

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.
