Even if a message indicating vehicle error

on the DC charger side (ex. vehicle error

found, vehicle error occurred, etc.) is dis-

played, there is no vehicle fault but possibly

a communication error between the DC

charger and vehicle. In this case, there may

be terminal damage (bad contact) in the

DC charging connector. If there is no error

with the vehicle, contact the facility man-

ager of the DC charger.

■

During DC charging

●

The current charging condition can be

checked on the multi-information display.

●

The actual charging time may differ from

that displayed on the DC charger during

charging.

●

There may be occasions the radio cannot

be heard due to noise occurrence during

DC charging

●

As the battery approaches full charge,

the charging speed will decrease and it

will take longer to complete charging.

●

The time to complete charging may

change, or charging may stop before

reaching the upper limit of the charge

capacity, due to the remaining charge of

the traction battery, the outside tempera-

ture, the specifications of the charger

(stand), etc.

●

It is recommended to avoid frequent DC

charging to prevent a decline in the trac-

tion battery capacity.

●

Quickly move from the DC charging

space for other users after the DC

charging is completed.

●

Depending on the specifications of DC

charger used, charging may be stopped

before fully charged.

●

If DC charging is performed while the

traction battery is extremely cold, such as

in cold weather, steam may come out of

the motor compartment or dew may be

formed on the hood. This is because the

heat, generated while the traction battery

is warmed, causes snow, ice, or frost to

evaporate. This is not a malfunction.

Points to remember

WARNING

■

When a child is riding

Observe the following precautions.

Failure to do so may result in death or

serious injury.

●

For effective protection in automobile

accidents and sudden stops, a child

must be properly restrained, using a

seat belt or child restraint system

which is correctly installed. For installa-

tion details, refer to the operation man-

ual enclosed with the child restraint

system. General installation instruction

is provided in this manual.

●

Lexus strongly urges the use of a

proper child restraint system that con-

forms to the weight and size of the

child, installed on the rear seat.

According to accident statistics, the

child is safer when properly restrained

in the rear seat than in the front seat.

●

Holding a child in your or someone

else’s arms is not a substitute for a child

restraint system. In an accident, the

child can be crushed against the wind-

shield or between the holder and the

interior of the vehicle.

■

Handling the child restraint system

If the child restraint system is not prop-

erly fixed in place, the child or other pas-

sengers may be seriously injured or even

killed in the event of sudden braking, sud-

den swerving, or an accident.

1-5. For safe driving with children on board

■

Types of child restraint system installation methods

Confirm with the operation manual enclosed with the child restraint system about
the installation of the child restraint system.

WARNING

●

If the vehicle were to receive a strong

impact from an accident, etc., it is pos-

sible that the child restraint system has

damage that is not readily visible. In

such cases, do not reuse the restraint

system.

●

Make sure you have complied with all

installation instructions provided with

the child restraint system manufac-

turer and that the system is properly

secured.

●

Keep the child restraint system prop-

erly secured on the seat even if it is not

in use. Do not store the child restraint

system unsecured in the passenger

compartment.

●

If it is necessary to detach the child

restraint system, remove it from the

vehicle or store it securely in the lug-

gage compartment.

WARNING

■

When using a child restraint system

Observe the following precautions.

Failure to do so may result in death or

serious injury.

●

Never install a rear-facing child

restraint system on the front passenger

seat even if the “AIR BAG OFF” indi-

cator light is illuminated. In the event of

an accident, the force of the rapid infla-

tion of the front passenger airbag can

cause death or serious injury to the

child if the rear-facing child restraint

system is installed on the front passen-

ger seat.

●

A forward-facing child restraint system

may be installed on the front passen-

ger seat only when it is unavoidable. A

child restraint system that requires a

top tether strap should not be used in

the front passenger seat since there is

no top tether strap anchor for the front

passenger seat.

●

A forward-facing child restraint system

may be installed on the front passen-

ger seat only when it is unavoidable.

When installing a forward-facing child

restraint system on the front passenger

seat, raise the seatback as much as

possible, move the seat to the rear-

most position, and raise the seat to the

highest position, even if the “AIR BAG

OFF” indicator light is illuminated.

If the head restraint interferes with the
installation of the child restraint system,
and the head restraint can be removed,
remove the head restraint.
If the head restraint cannot be removed,
raise it to the uppermost position.

●

Do not allow the child to lean his/her

head or any part of his/her body

against the door or the area of the seat,

front or rear pillars, or roof side rails

from which the SRS side airbags or

SRS curtain shield airbags deploy even

if the child is seated in the child

restraint system. It is dangerous if the

SRS side airbags and curtain shield air-

bags inflate, and the impact could

cause death or serious injury to the

child.
