The following may change the speed at

which the shaded areas change or the

timing at which the headlights change to

the low beams:

• The brightness of lights of vehicles ahead

• The movement and direction of vehicles

ahead

Raindrop sensor

●

The raindrop sensor judges the amount

of raindrops.

An optical sensor is adopted. It may not

operate properly when sunlight from the

rising or setting of the sun intermittently

strikes the windshield, or if bugs, etc. are

present on the windshield.

etc. do not become caught in the wind-

shield wipers.

■

Caution regarding the use of washer

fluid

When it is cold, do not use the washer

fluid until the windshield becomes warm.

The fluid may freeze on the windshield

and cause low visibility. This may lead to

an accident, resulting in death or serious

injury.

Fuel tank opening for unleaded gasoline

To help prevent incorrect fueling, your vehi-

cle has a fuel tank opening that only accom-

modates the special nozzle on unleaded

fuel pumps.

Opening the fuel tank cap

The fuel tank of your vehicle has a
special structure, which requires a
reduction in fuel tank pressure
before refueling. After the opener
switch has been pressed, it will take
several seconds until the vehicle is
ready for refueling.

Before refueling the vehicle

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 refu-

eling 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 dis-

charged 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 vehi-

cle.

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 noz-

zle automatically clicks off.

●

Do not top off the fuel tank.

240

4-4. Refueling

Press the switch to open the fuel
filler door.

The fuel filler door will open within about

10 seconds of the switch being pressed.

Before refueling is possible, a message will

be shown on the multi-information display

in the instrument cluster to indicate the

progress of the fuel filler door opener.

Turn the fuel tank cap slowly and
remove it, then put it into the holder
on the fuel filler door.

■

If the fuel filler door cannot be opened

Consult your Lexus dealer.

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.

NOTICE

■

Refueling

●

Finish refueling within 30 minutes. If

more than 30 minutes passes, the

internal valve closes. In this condition,

fuel may overflow during the refueling

process.

Press the fuel filler door opener switch

again.

●

Make sure that the fuel filler door lock

is not pushed by the fuel nozzle boot,

etc. If the lock is held, the internal valve

closes and fuel may overflow. To pre-

vent it, press the fuel filler door opener

switch again.

●

Do not spill fuel during refueling.

Doing so may damage the vehicle,

such as causing the emission control

system to operate abnormally or dam-

aging fuel system components or the

vehicle’s painted surface.

fortable driving experience:

WARNING

■

Lexus Safety System + 3

The Lexus Safety System + 3 operates

under the assumption that the driver will

drive safely, and is designed to help

reduce the impact to the occupants in a

collision and assist the driver under nor-

mal driving conditions.

As there is a limit to the degree of recog-

nition accuracy and control performance

that this system can provide, do not

overly rely on this system. The driver is

solely responsible for paying attention to

the vehicle’s surroundings and driving

safely.

■

For safe use

●

Do not overly rely on this system. The

driver is solely responsible for paying

attention to the vehicle’s surroundings

and driving safely. This system may not

operate in all situations and provided

assistance is limited. Over-reliance on

this system to drive the vehicle safely

may lead to an accident resulting in

death or serious injury.

●

Do not attempt to test the operation of

the system, as it may not operate prop-

erly, possibly leading to an accident.

●

If attention is necessary while perform-

ing driving operations or a system mal-

function occurs, a warning message or

warning buzzer will be operated. If a

warning message is displayed on the

display, follow the instructions dis-

played.

●

Depending on external noise, the vol-

ume of the audio system, etc. it may be

difficult to hear the warning buzzer.

Also, depending on the road condi-

tions, it may be difficult to recognize

the operation of the system.

■

When it is necessary to disable the

system

In the following situations, make sure to

disable the system.

Failure to do so may lead to the system

not operating properly, possibly leading

to an accident resulting in death or seri-

ous injury.

●

When the vehicle is tilted due to being

overloaded or having a flat tire

●

When driving at extremely high

speeds

●

When towing another vehicle

●

When the vehicle is being transported

by a truck, ship, train, etc.

●

When the vehicle is raised on a lift and

the tires are allowed to rotate freely

●

When inspecting the vehicle using a

drum tester such as a chassis dyna-

mometer or speedometer tester, or

when using an on vehicle wheel bal-

ancer

●

When the vehicle is driven in a sporty

manner or off-road

●

When using an automatic car wash

●

When a sensor is misaligned or

deformed due to a strong impact

being applied to the sensor or the area

around the sensor

remove water droplets, etc. from the

area of the windshield in front of the

front camera.

• If the inner side of the windshield

where the front camera is installed is

dirty, contact your Lexus dealer.

of the driver monitor camera and the sys-

tems not operating properly, possibly

leading to an accident resulting in death

or serious injury.

●

Do not subject the driver monitor

camera or its surrounding area to

strong impact.

●

If subjected to a strong impact, the

driver monitor camera may move out

of alignment and the driver may no

longer be detected correctly. In this

case, have the vehicle inspected by

your Lexus dealer.

●

Do not disassemble or modify the

driver monitor camera.

●

Do not attach accessories, stickers
