Please note that this manual applies to 
all models and explains all equipment, 
including options. Therefore, you may 
find some explanations for equipment 
not installed on your vehicle.
All specifications provided in this man-
ual are current at the time of printing. 
However, because of the Lexus policy 
of continual product improvement, we 
reserve the right to make changes at 
any time without notice.
Depending on specifications, the vehi-
cle shown in the illustrations may differ 
from your vehicle in terms of color and 
equipment.

Both genuine Lexus and a wide variety 
of other spare parts and accessories 
for Lexus vehicles are currently avail-
able on the market. Should it be deter-
mined that any of the genuine Lexus 
parts or accessories supplied with the 
vehicle need to be replaced, Lexus 
recommends that genuine Lexus parts 
or accessories, be used to replace 
them. Other parts or accessories of 
matching quality can also be used. 
Lexus cannot accept any liability or 
guarantee spare parts and accessories 
which are not genuine Lexus products, 
nor for replacement or installation 

involving such parts. In addition, dam-
age or performance problems result-
ing from the use of non-genuine Lexus 
spare parts or accessories may not be 
covered under warranty.
Also, remodeling like this will have an 
effect on advanced safety equipment 
such as Lexus Safety System + and 
there is a danger that it will not work 
properly or the danger that it may work 
in situations where it should not be 
working.

The installation of an RF-transmitter 
system in your vehicle could affect 
electronic systems such as:

Hybrid system

Multiport fuel injection sys-
tem/sequential multiport fuel injec-
tion system

Lexus Safety System +

Cruise control system

Anti-lock brake system

SRS airbag system

Seat belt pretensioner system

Be sure to check with any authorized 
Lexus retailer or Lexus authorized 
repairer, or any reliable repairer for 
precautionary measures or special 
instructions regarding installation of an 
RF-transmitter system.
Further information regarding fre-
quency bands, power levels, antenna

Installation of an RF-transmitter 
system

positions and installation provisions for 
the installation of RF-transmitters, is 
available on request at any authorized 
Lexus retailer or Lexus authorized 
repairer, or any reliable repairer.
High voltage parts and cables on the 
Hybrid Electric Vehicles emit approxi-
mately the same amount of electro-
magnetic waves as the conventional 
gasoline powered vehicles or home 
electronic appliances despite of their 
electromagnetic shielding.
Unwanted noise may occur in the 
reception of the radio frequency trans-
mitter (RF-transmitter).

The vehicle is equipped with sophisti-
cated computers that will record cer-
tain data, such as:
• Engine speed/Electric motor speed 

(traction motor speed)

• Accelerator status
• Brake status
• Vehicle speed
• Operation status of the driving 

assist systems

• Images from the cameras
Your vehicle is equipped with cam-
eras. Contact any authorized Lexus 
retailer or Lexus authorized repairer, 
or any reliable repairer for the location 
of recording cameras
The recorded data varies according to 
the vehicle grade level, options and 
destinations with which it is equipped.
These computers do not record con-

versations or sounds, and only record 
images outside of the vehicle in certain 
situations.

Data usage

Lexus may use the data recorded in this 
computer to diagnose malfunctions, con-
duct research and development, and 
improve quality.
Lexus will not disclose the recorded data 
to a third party except:
• With the consent of the vehicle owner or 

with the consent of the lessee if the vehi-
cle is leased

• In response to an official request by the 

police, a court of law or a government 
agency

• For use by Lexus in a lawsuit
• For research purposes where the data is 

not tied to a specific vehicle or vehicle 
owner

Recorded image information can be 
erased by any authorized Lexus 
retailer or Lexus authorized 
repairer, or any reliable repairer.

The image recording function can be dis-
abled. However, if the function is disabled, 
data from when the system operates will 
not be available.

The SRS airbag and seat belt preten-
sioner devices in your Lexus contain 
explosive chemicals. If the vehicle is 
scrapped with the airbags and seat belt 
pretensioners left as they are, this may 
cause an accident such as fire. Be sure 
to have the systems of the SRS airbag 
and seat belt pretensioner removed

Scrapping of your Lexus

and disposed of by a qualified service 
shop or by any authorized Lexus 
retailer or Lexus authorized repairer, 
or any reliable repairer before you 
scrap your vehicle.

WARNING

General precautions while driving

Driving under the influence: Never drive 

your vehicle when under the influence of 

alcohol or drugs that have impaired your 

ability to operate your vehicle. Alcohol 

and certain drugs delay reaction time, 

impair judgment and reduce coordina-

tion, which could lead to an accident that 

could result in death or serious injury.
Defensive driving: Always drive defen-

sively. Anticipate mistakes that other 

drivers or pedestrians might make and 

be ready to avoid accidents.
Driver distraction: Always give your full 

attention to driving. Anything that dis-

tracts the driver, such as adjusting con-

trols, talking on a cellular phone or 

reading can result in a collision with 

resulting death or serious injury to you, 

your occupants or others.

General precaution regarding chil-

dren’s safety

Never leave children unattended in the 

vehicle, and never allow children to have 

or use the key.
Children may be able to start the vehicle 

or shift the vehicle into neutral. There is 

also a danger that children may injure 

themselves by playing with the windows, 

the moon roof, or other features of the 

vehicle. In addition, heat build-up or 

extremely cold temperatures inside the 

vehicle can be fatal to children.
