The following procedures should be observed to ensure safe driving:

Starting the engine

Refer to the engine starting procedure.

Driving

1. With the brake pedal depressed, shift the shift lever to D.

2. Release the parking brake. If the parking brake is in automatic mode, it is released automatically when shifting the shift lever to any position other than P.

3. Gradually release the brake pedal and gently depress the accelerator pedal to accelerate the vehicle.

Stopping

1. With the shift lever in D, depress the brake pedal.

2. If necessary, set the parking brake.

If the vehicle is to be stopped for an extended period of time, shift the shift lever to P or N.

Parking the vehicle

1. With the shift lever in D, depress the brake pedal.

2. Set the parking brake, and shift the shift lever to P.

3. Press the engine switch to stop the engine.

4. Lock the door, making sure that you have the electronic key on your person.

If parking on a hill, block the wheels as needed.

1. With the brake pedal depressed, shift the shift lever to D.

2. Pull the parking brake switch and parking brake is set manually.

3. Release the brake pedal and gently depress the accelerator pedal to accelerate the vehicle.

4. Press the parking brake switch and parking brake is released manually.

Note: The hill-start assist control will activate when starting off on an uphill.

• Drive carefully when it is raining, because visibility will be reduced, the windows may become fogged-up, and the road will be slippery.
• Drive carefully when it starts to rain, because the road surface will be especially slippery.
• Refrain from high speeds when driving on an expressway in the rain, because there may be a layer of water between the tires and the road surface, preventing the steering and brakes from operating properly.

In the following conditions, the engine speed may become high while driving. This is due to automatic up-shifting control or down-shifting implementation to meet driving conditions. It does not indicate sudden acceleration.

• The vehicle is judged to be driving uphill or downhill
• When the accelerator pedal is released
• When the brake pedal is depressed while sport mode is selected

To extend the life of the vehicle, observing the following precautions is recommended:

• For the first 200 miles (300 km): Avoid sudden stops.
• For the first 500 miles (800 km): Do not tow a trailer.
• For the first 1000 miles (1600 km):

  – Do not drive at extremely high speeds.

  – Avoid sudden acceleration.

  – Do not drive continuously in low gears.

  – Do not drive at a constant speed for extended periods.

Observe the following precautions. Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.

When starting the vehicle

Always keep your foot on the brake pedal while stopped with the engine running. This prevents the vehicle from creeping.

When driving the vehicle

• Do not drive if you are unfamiliar with the location of the brake and accelerator pedals to avoid depressing the wrong pedal.
• Accidentally depressing the accelerator pedal instead of the brake pedal will result in sudden acceleration that may lead to an accident.
• When backing up, you may twist your body around, leading to a difficulty in operating the pedals. Make sure to operate the pedals properly.
• Make sure to keep a correct driving posture even when moving the vehicle only slightly. This allows you to depress the brake and accelerator pedals properly.
• Depress the brake pedal using your right foot. Depressing the brake pedal using your left foot may delay response in an emergency, resulting in an accident.

• Do not drive the vehicle over or stop the vehicle near flammable materials. The exhaust system and exhaust gases can be extremely hot. These hot parts may cause a fire if there is any flammable material nearby.
• During normal driving, do not turn off the engine. Turning the engine off while driving will not cause loss of steering or braking control, but the power assist to these systems will be lost. This will make it more difficult to steer and brake, so you should pull over and stop the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do so. However, in the event of an emergency, such as if it becomes impossible to stop the vehicle in the normal way, refer to emergency stopping procedures.
• Use engine braking (downshift) to maintain a safe speed when driving down a steep hill. Using the brakes continuously may cause the brakes to overheat and lose effectiveness.
• Do not adjust the positions of the steering wheel, the seat, or the inside or outside rear view mirrors while driving. Doing so may result in a loss of vehicle control.
• Always check that all passengers’ arms, heads or other parts of their body are not outside the vehicle.
• AWD models: Do not drive the vehicle off-road. This is not an AWD vehicle designed for off-road driving. Proceed with all due caution if it becomes unavoidable to drive off-road.
• Do not drive across a river or through other bodies of water. This may cause electric/electronic components to short circuit, damage the engine or cause other serious damage to the vehicle.
• Do not drive in excess of the speed limit. Even if the legal speed limit permits it, do not drive over 85 mph (140 km/h) unless your vehicle has high-speed capability tires. Driving over 85 mph (140 km/h) may result in tire failure, loss of control and possible injury. Be sure to consult a tire dealer to determine whether the tires on your vehicle are high-speed capability tires or not before driving at such speeds.

• Sudden braking, acceleration and steering may cause tire slippage and reduce your ability to control the vehicle.
• Sudden acceleration, engine braking due to shifting, or changes in engine speed could cause the vehicle to skid.
• After driving through a puddle, lightly depress the brake pedal to make sure that the brakes are functioning properly. Wet brake pads may prevent the brakes from functioning properly. If the brakes on only one side are wet and not functioning properly, steering control may be affected.

• Do not let the vehicle roll backward while the shift lever is in a driving position, or roll forward while the shift lever is in R. Doing so may cause the engine to stall or lead to poor brake and steering performance, resulting in an accident or damage to the vehicle.
• Do not shift the shift lever to P while the vehicle is moving. Doing so can damage the transmission and may result in a loss of vehicle control.
• Do not shift the shift lever to R while the vehicle is moving forward. Doing so can damage the transmission and may result in a loss of vehicle control.
• Do not shift the shift lever to a driving position while the vehicle is moving backward. Doing so can damage the transmission and may result in a loss of vehicle control.
• Shifting the shift lever to N while the vehicle is moving will disengage the engine. Engine braking is not available when N is selected.
• Be careful not to shift the shift lever with the accelerator pedal depressed. Shifting the shift lever to any position other than P or N may lead to unexpected rapid acceleration of the vehicle that may cause an accident and result in death or serious injury.

This noise indicates the brake pad wear limit indicators. Have the brake pads checked and replaced by your Lexus dealer as soon as possible. Rotor damage may result if the pads are not replaced when needed. It is dangerous to drive the vehicle when the wear limits of the brake pads and/or those of the brake discs are exceeded.

• Do not race the engine. If the shift lever is in any position other than P or N, the vehicle may accelerate suddenly and unexpectedly, causing an accident.
• In order to prevent accidents due to the vehicle rolling away, always keep depressing the brake pedal while the engine is running, and apply the parking brake as necessary.
• If the vehicle is stopped on an incline, in order to prevent accidents caused by the vehicle rolling forward or backward, always depress the brake pedal and securely apply the parking brake as needed.
• Avoid revving or racing the engine. Running the engine at high speed while the vehicle is stopped may cause the exhaust system to overheat, which could result in a fire if combustible material is nearby.

Do not leave glasses, cigarette lighters, spray cans, or soft drink cans in the vehicle when it is in the sun. Doing so may result in the following:

• Gas may leak from a cigarette lighter or spray can, and may lead to a fire.
• The temperature inside the vehicle may cause the plastic lenses and plastic material of glasses to deform or crack.
• Soft drink cans may fracture, causing the contents to spray over the interior of the vehicle, and may also cause a short circuit in the vehicle’s electrical components.
• Do not leave cigarette lighters in the vehicle. If a cigarette lighter is in a place such as the glove box or on the floor, it may be lit accidentally when luggage is loaded or the seat is adjusted, causing a fire.
• Do not attach adhesive discs to the windshield or windows. Do not place containers such as air fresheners on the instrument panel or dashboard. Adhesive discs or containers may act as lenses, causing a fire in the vehicle.
• Do not leave a door or window open if the curved glass is coated with a metallized film such as a silver-colored one. Reflected sunlight may cause the glass to act as a lens, causing a fire.

• Always apply the parking brake, shift the shift lever to P, stop the engine and lock the vehicle. Do not leave the vehicle unattended while the engine is running. If the vehicle is parked with the shift lever in P but the parking brake is not set, the vehicle may start to move, possibly leading to an accident.
• Do not touch the exhaust pipes while the engine is running or immediately after turning the engine off. Doing so may cause burns.

Always turn the engine off. Otherwise, if you accidentally move the shift lever or depress the accelerator pedal, this could cause an accident or fire due to engine overheating. Additionally, if the vehicle is parked in a poorly ventilated area, exhaust gases may collect and enter the vehicle, leading to death or a serious health hazard.

• When the brakes are wet, drive more cautiously. Braking distance increases when the brakes are wet, and this may cause one side of the vehicle to brake differently than the other side. Also, the parking brake may not securely hold the vehicle.
• If the brake booster device does not operate, do not follow other vehicles closely and avoid hills or sharp turns that require braking. In this case, braking is still possible, but the brake pedal should be depressed more firmly than usual. Also, the braking distance will increase. Have your brakes fixed immediately.
• Do not pump the brake pedal if the engine stalls. Each push on the brake pedal uses up the reserve for the power-assisted brakes.
• The brake system consists of 2 individual hydraulic systems; if one of the systems fails, the other will still operate. In this case, the brake pedal should be depressed more firmly than usual and the braking distance will increase. Have your brakes fixed immediately.

Do not spin the wheels excessively when any of the tires is up in the air, or the vehicle is stuck in sand, mud, etc. This may damage the driveline components or propel the vehicle forward or backward, causing an accident.

When driving the vehicle

• Do not depress the accelerator and brake pedals at the same time during driving, as this may restrain the engine output.
• Do not use the accelerator pedal or depress the accelerator and brake pedals at the same time to hold the vehicle on a hill.

When parking the vehicle

• Always set the parking brake and shift the shift lever to P. Failure to do so may cause the vehicle to move or the vehicle may accelerate suddenly if the accelerator pedal is accidentally depressed.

Avoiding damage to vehicle parts

• Do not turn the steering wheel fully in either direction and hold it there for an extended period of time. Doing so may damage the power steering motor.
• When driving over bumps on the road, drive as slowly as possible to avoid damaging the wheels, underside of the vehicle, etc.

A flat or damaged tire may cause the following situations. Hold the steering wheel firmly and gradually depress the brake pedal to slow down the vehicle.

• It may be difficult to control your vehicle.
• The vehicle will make abnormal sounds or vibrations.
• The vehicle will lean abnormally.

Do not drive on a road that has flooded after heavy rain etc. Doing so may cause the following serious damage to the vehicle:

• Engine stalling
• Short in electrical components
• Engine damage caused by water immersion

In the event that you drive on a flooded road and the vehicle is flooded, be sure to have your Lexus dealer check the following:

• Brake function
• Changes in quantity and quality of oil and fluid used for the engine, transaxle, transfer (AWD models), rear differential (AWD models), etc.
• Lubricant condition for the propeller shaft (AWD models), bearings and suspension joints (where possible), and the function of all joints, bearings, etc.

Cargo capacity depends on the total weight of the occupants.

(Cargo capacity) = (Total load capacity) – (Total weight of occupants)

Steps for Determining Correct Load Limit

(1) Locate the statement “The combined weight of occupants and cargo should never exceed XXX kg or XXX lbs.” on your vehicle’s placard.

(2) Determine the combined weight of the driver and passengers that will be riding in your vehicle.

(3) Subtract the combined weight of the driver and passengers from XXX kg or XXX lbs.

(4) The resulting figure equals the available amount of cargo and luggage load capacity.

For example, if the “XXX” amount equals 1400 lbs. and there will be five 150 lb passengers in your vehicle, the amount of available cargo and luggage load capacity is 650 lbs. (1400 – 750 (5 x 150) = 650 lbs.)

(5) Determine the combined weight of luggage and cargo being loaded on the vehicle. That weight may not safely exceed the available cargo and luggage load capacity calculated in Step 4.

(6) If your vehicle will be towing a trailer, load from your trailer will be transferred to your vehicle. Consult this manual to determine how this reduces the available cargo and luggage load capacity of your vehicle.

When 2 people with the combined weight of A lb. (kg) are riding in your vehicle, which has a total load capacity (vehicle capacity weight) of B lb. (kg), the available amount of cargo and luggage load capacity will be C lb. (kg) as follows:

B*2 lb. (kg) – A*1 lb. (kg) = C*3 lb. (kg)

*1: A = Weight of people

*2: B = Total load capacity

*3: C = Available cargo and luggage load

In this condition, if 3 more passengers with the combined weight of D lb. (kg) get on, the available cargo and luggage load will be reduced E lb. (kg) as follows:

C lb. (kg) – D*4 lb. (kg) = E*5 lb. (kg)

*4: D = Additional weight of people

*5: E = Available cargo and luggage load

As shown in the example above, if the number of occupants increases, the cargo and luggage load will be reduced by an amount that equals the increased weight due to the additional occupants. In other words, if an increase in the number of occupants causes an excess of the total load capacity (combined weight of occupants plus cargo and luggage load), you must reduce the cargo and luggage on your vehicle.

Things that must not be carried in the luggage compartment

The following things may cause a fire if loaded in the luggage compartment:

• Receptacles containing gasoline
• Aerosol cans

Storage precautions

Observe the following precautions. Failure to do so may prevent the pedals from being depressed properly, may block the driver’s vision, or may result in items hitting the driver or passengers, possibly causing an accident.

• Stow cargo and luggage in the luggage compartment whenever possible.
• Do not stack cargo and luggage in the luggage compartment higher than the seatbacks.
• When you fold down the rear seats, long items should not be placed directly behind the front seats.
• Never allow anyone to ride in the luggage compartment. It is not designed for passengers. They should ride in their seats with their seat belts properly fastened.
• Do not place cargo or luggage in or on the following locations:

  – At the feet of the driver

  – On the front passenger or rear seats (when stacking items)

  – On the luggage cover

  – On the instrument panel

  – On the dashboard

• Secure all items in the occupant compartment.

Capacity and distribution

• Do not exceed the maximum axle weight rating or the total vehicle weight rating.
• Even if the total load of occupant’s weight and the cargo load is less than the total load capacity, do not apply the load unevenly. Improper loading may cause deterioration of steering or braking control which may cause death or serious injury.

Observe the following precautions:

• Place the cargo so that its weight is distributed evenly between the front and rear axles.
• If loading long or wide cargo, never exceed the vehicle overall length or width.
• Before driving, make sure the cargo is securely fastened on the roof luggage carrier.
• Loading cargo on the roof luggage carrier will make the center of gravity of the vehicle higher. Avoid high speeds, sudden starts, sharp turns, sudden braking or abrupt maneuvers, otherwise it may result in loss of control or vehicle rollover due to failure to operate this vehicle correctly and result in death or serious injury.
• If driving for a long distance, on rough roads, or at high speeds, stop the vehicle now and then during the trip to make sure the cargo remains in its place.
• Do not exceed 165 lb. (75 kg) cargo weight on the roof luggage carrier.

NOTICE: When loading cargo (vehicles with a moon roof or panoramic moon roof)

Be careful not to scratch the surface of the moon roof or panoramic moon roof.

Vehicle load limits include total load capacity, seating capacity, trailer weight rating and cargo capacity.

• Total load capacity (vehicle capacity weight): Total load capacity means the combined weight of occupants, cargo and luggage.
• Seating capacity (RX350 & RX350L): Seating capacity means the maximum number of occupants whose estimated average weight is 150 lb. (68 kg) per person.
• TWR (Trailer Weight Rating) (vehicles with towing package): TWR means the maximum gross trailer weight (trailer weight plus its cargo weight) that your vehicle is able to tow.
• TWR (Trailer Weight Rating) (vehicles without towing package): Lexus does not recommend towing a trailer with your vehicle.
• Cargo capacity: Cargo capacity may increase or decrease depending on the weight and the number of occupants.

These details are also described on the tire and loading information label.

WARNING: Overloading the vehicle

Do not overload the vehicle. It may not only cause damage to the tires, but also degrade steering and braking ability, resulting in an accident.

Vehicles without towing package

Lexus does not recommend towing a trailer with your vehicle. Lexus also does not recommend the installation of a tow hitch or the use of a tow hitch carrier for a wheelchair, scooter, bicycle, etc. Your vehicle is not designed for trailer towing or for the use of tow hitch mounted carriers.

Vehicles with towing package

Your vehicle is designed primarily as a passenger-and-load-carrying vehicle. Towing a trailer can have an adverse impact on handling, performance, braking, durability, and fuel consumption. For your safety and the safety of others, you must not overload your vehicle or trailer. You must also ensure that you are using appropriate towing equipment, that the towing equipment has been installed correctly and used properly, and that you employ the requisite driving habits.

Vehicle-trailer stability and braking performance are affected by trailer stability, brake performance and setting, trailer brakes, the hitch and hitch systems (if equipped).

To tow a trailer safely, use extreme care and drive the vehicle in accordance with your trailer’s characteristics and operating conditions.

Contact your Lexus dealer for further information about additional requirements such as a towing kit, etc.

Check that the following conditions are met:

• Ensure that your vehicle’s tires are properly inflated.
• Trailer tires are inflated according to the trailer manufacturer’s recommendation.
• All trailer lights work as required by law.
• All lights work each time you connect them.
• The trailer ball is set at the proper height for the coupler on the trailer.
• The trailer is level when it is hitched. Do not drive if the trailer is not level, and check for improper tongue weight, overloading, worn suspension, or other possible causes.
• The trailer cargo is securely loaded.
• The rear view mirrors conform to all applicable federal, state/provincial or local regulations. If they do not, install rear view mirrors appropriate for towing purposes.

If your vehicle is new or equipped with any new power train components (such as an engine, transaxle, transfer [AWD models], rear differential [AWD models] or wheel bearing), Lexus recommends that you do not tow a trailer until the vehicle has been driven for over 500 miles (800 km).

After the vehicle has been driven for over 500 miles (800 km), you can start towing. However, for the next 500 miles (800 km), drive the vehicle at a speed of less than 50 mph (80 km/h) when towing a trailer, and avoid full throttle acceleration.

• If you tow a trailer, your vehicle will require more frequent maintenance due to the additional load.
• Retighten the fixing bolts of the towing ball and bracket after approximately 600 miles (1000 km) of trailer towing.

One or more factors (crosswinds, passing vehicles, rough roads, etc.) can adversely affect handling of your vehicle and trailer, causing instability.

If trailer swaying occurs:

• Firmly grip the steering wheel. Steer straight ahead.
• Do not try to control trailer swaying by turning the steering wheel.
• Begin releasing the accelerator pedal immediately but very gradually to reduce speed.
• Do not increase speed. Do not apply vehicle brakes.

If you make no extreme correction with the steering or brakes, your vehicle and trailer should stabilize. (if enabled, Trailer Sway Control can also help to stabilize the vehicle and trailer.)

After the trailer swaying has stopped:

• Stop in a safe place. Get all occupants out of the vehicle.
• Check the tires of the vehicle and the trailer.
• Check the load in the trailer. Make sure the load has not shifted.
• Make sure the tongue weight is appropriate, if possible.
• Check the load in the vehicle. Make sure the vehicle is not overloaded after occupants get in.

If you cannot find any problems, the speed at which trailer swaying occurred is beyond the limit of your particular vehicle-trailer combination. Drive at a lower speed to prevent instability. Remember that swaying of the towing vehicle-trailer increases as speed increases.

To tow a trailer safely, use extreme care and drive the vehicle in accordance with the trailer’s characteristics and operating conditions. Failure to do so could cause an accident resulting in death or serious injury. Vehicle stability and braking performance are affected by trailer stability, brake setting and performance, and the hitch. Your vehicle will handle differently when towing a trailer.

To avoid accident or injury:

• Do not exceed the TWR, unbraked TWR, GCWR, GVWR or GAWR.
• If the gross trailer weight is over 2000 lb. (907 kg), a sway control device with sufficient capacity is required.
• Adjust the tongue weight within the appropriate range. Place heavier loads as close to the trailer axle as possible.
• Do not exceed 65 mph (104 km/h), the posted towing speed limit or the speed limit for your trailer as set forth in your trailer owner’s manual, whichever is lowest. Slow down sufficiently before making a turn, in cross winds, on wet or slippery surface, etc. to help avoid an accident.
• Do not make jerky, abrupt or sharp turns.
• Do not apply the brakes suddenly as you may skid, resulting in jackknifing and loss of vehicle control. This is especially true on wet or slippery surfaces.
• Do not exceed the trailer hitch assembly weight, gross vehicle weight, gross axle weight and trailer tongue weight capacities.
• Slow down and downshift before descending steep or long downhill grades. Do not make sudden downshifts while descending steep or long downhill grades.
• Vehicle-trailer instability is more likely on steep long downhills. Before descending steep or long downhill grades, slow down and downshift. Avoid holding the brake pedal down too long or applying the brakes too frequently. This could cause the brakes to overheat and result in reduced braking efficiency.
• Do not tow a trailer when the compact spare tire is installed on your vehicle.
• Never tap into your vehicle’s hydraulic system, as this will lower the vehicle’s braking effectiveness.
• Never tow a trailer without using a safety chain securely attached to both the trailer and the vehicle. If damage occurs to the coupling unit or hitch ball, there is danger of the trailer wandering into another lane.

When towing a trailer:

• Lexus recommends trailers with brakes that conform to any applicable federal and state/provincial regulations.
• If the gross trailer weight exceeds unbraked TWR, trailer brakes are required. Lexus recommends trailers with brakes that conform to all applicable federal and state/provincial regulations.

Do not use the following systems when trailer towing.

• Dynamic radar cruise control with full-speed range
• LTA (Lane Tracing Assist)
• PCS (Pre-Collision System)
• BSM (Blind Spot Monitor) (if equipped)

When installing a trailer hitch

Use only the position recommended by your Lexus dealer. Do not install the trailer hitch on the bumper; this may cause body damage.

Do not directly splice trailer lights

Do not directly splice trailer lights. Directly splicing trailer lights may damage your vehicle’s electrical system and cause a malfunction.

• GCWR (Gross Combination Weight Rating): The maximum allowable gross combination weight. The gross combination weight is the sum of the total vehicle weight (including the occupants, cargo and any optional equipment installed on the vehicle) and the weight of the trailer being towed (including the cargo in the trailer).
• GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating): The maximum allowable gross vehicle weight. The gross vehicle weight is the total weight of the vehicle. When towing a trailer, it is the sum of the vehicle weight (including the occupants, cargo and any optional equipment installed on the vehicle) and the tongue weight.
• GAWR (Gross Axle Weight Rating): The maximum allowable gross axle weight. The gross axle weight is the load placed on each axle (front and rear).
• TWR (Trailer Weight Rating): The maximum allowable gross trailer weight. The gross trailer weight is the sum of the trailer weight and the weight of the cargo in the trailer. TWR is calculated assuming base vehicle with one driver, one front passenger, towing package (if available), hitch and hitch systems (if required).
• Unbraked TWR (Unbraked Trailer Weight Rating): The trailer weight rating for towing a trailer without a trailer service brake system.
• Tongue Weight: The load placed on the trailer hitch ball.

Confirm that the gross trailer weight, gross combination weight, gross vehicle weight, gross axle weight and tongue weight are all within the limits.

Weight limits

• The gross trailer weight must never exceed 3500 lb. (1585 kg).
• The gross vehicle weight must never exceed the GVWR indicated on the Certification Label.
• The gross axle weight on each axle must never exceed the GAWR indicated on the Certification Label.
• If the gross trailer weight is over the unbraked TWR, trailer service brakes are required.
• If the gross trailer weight is over 2000 lb. (907 kg), a sway control device with sufficient capacity is required.

GCWR (Gross Combination Weight)

• RX350:

  – 2WD models: 9165 lb. (4157 kg)

  – AWD models: 9360 lb. (4246 kg)

• RX350L:

  – 2WD models: 9400 lb. (4263 kg)

  – AWD models: 9485 lb. (4302 kg)

TWR (Trailer Weight Rating)

• 3500 lb. (1585 kg)

Unbraked TWR*

• 1000 lb. (453 kg)

*: This models meet the tow-vehicle trailering requirement of SAE International per SAE J2807.

A recommended tongue weight varies in accordance with the types of trailers or towing. To ensure the recommended values shown below, the trailer must be loaded by referring to the following instructions.

Tongue Weight

The gross trailer weight should be distributed so that the tongue weight is 9% to 11%.

(Tongue weight/Gross trailer weight x 100 = 9% to 11%)

The gross trailer weight, gross axle weight and tongue weight can be measured with platform scales found at a highway weighing station, building supply company, trucking company, junk yard, etc.

Trailer hitch assemblies have different weight capacities. Lexus recommends the use of Lexus hitch/bracket for your vehicle. For details, contact your Lexus dealer.

• If you wish to install a trailer hitch, contact your Lexus dealer.
• Use only a hitch that conforms to the gross trailer weight requirement of your vehicle.
• Follow the directions supplied by the hitch manufacturer.
• Lubricate the hitch ball with a light coating of grease.
• Remove the hitch ball whenever you are not towing a trailer. Remove the trailer hitch if you do not need it. After removing the hitch, seal any mounting hole in the vehicle body to prevent entry of any substances into the vehicle.

WARNING: Hitches

Trailer hitch assemblies have different weight capacities established by the hitch manufacturer. Even though the vehicle may be physically capable of towing a higher weight, the operator must determine the maximum weight rating of the particular hitch assembly and never exceed the maximum weight rating specified for the trailer-hitch. Exceeding the maximum weight rating set by the trailer-hitch manufacturer can cause an accident resulting in death or serious personal injuries.

Use the correct trailer ball for your application.

• Trailer ball load rating: Matches or exceeds the gross trailer weight rating of the trailer.
• Ball diameter: Matches the size of the trailer coupler. Most couplers are stamped with the required trailer ball size.
• Shank length: Protrudes beyond the bottom of the lock washer and nut by at least 2 threads.
• Shank diameter: Matches the ball mount hole diameter size.

• A. Weight carrying ball position

  – RX350: 44.96 in. (1142 mm)

  – RX350L: 49.72 in. (1263 mm)

• B. Hitch receiver pin hole position

  – RX350: 35.94 in. (913 mm)

  – RX350L: 45.08 in. (1145 mm)

Connecting trailer lights

Use the wire harness stored in the rear end under body.

Auto current cut-off function

In case of over current, the auto cut-off function stops the power flowing to the trailer lights to prevent damage to the vehicle’s electrical system.

This function is activated when the rated current of any of the following trailer light circuit components is exceeded:

• Tail lights: maximum 7.8 A
• Stop/turn signal light (right): maximum 4.5 A
• Stop/turn signal light (left): maximum 4.5 A

When the auto current cut function is activated

If a trailer light does not come on due to the activation of the auto current cut function, the light system will need to be reset. Follow the reset procedure shown below.

• If a tail light does not come on, turn off the headlight switch.
• If the right-side stop/turn signal light does not come on, put the turn signal in the off position or remove foot from the brake pedal.
• If the left-side stop/turn signal light does not come on, put the turn signal in the off position or remove foot from the brake pedal.
• If the emergency flashers do not operate, press the emergency flasher switch to turn them off.

After the light system is reset, operate the light switches again to see if the lights operate normally. If the lights do not operate normally, have the vehicle inspected by your Lexus dealer.

Your vehicle will handle differently when towing a trailer. To help avoid an accident, death or serious injury, keep the following in mind when towing:

• Speed limits for towing a trailer vary by state or province. Do not exceed the posted towing speed limit.
• Lexus recommends that the vehicle-trailer speed limit is 65 mph (104 km/h) on a flat, straight, dry road. Do not exceed this limit, the posted towing speed limit or the speed limit for your trailer as set forth in your trailer owner’s manual, whichever is lowest. Instability of the towing vehicle-trailer combination (trailer sway) increases as speed increases. Exceeding speed limits may cause loss of control.
• Before starting out, check the trailer lights, tires and the vehicle-trailer connections. Recheck after driving a short distance.
• Practice turning, stopping and reversing with the trailer attached in an area away from traffic until you become accustomed to the feel of the vehicle-trailer combination.
• Reversing with a trailer attached is difficult and requires practice. Grip the bottom of the steering wheel and move your hand to the left to move the trailer to the left. Move your hand to the right to move the trailer to right. (This is generally opposite to reversing without a trailer attached.) Avoid sharp or prolonged turning. Have someone guide you when reversing to reduce the risk of an accident.
• As stopping distance is increased when towing a trailer, vehicle-to-vehicle distance should be increased. For each 10 mph (16 km/h) of speed, allow at least one vehicle and trailer length.
• Avoid sudden braking as you may skid, resulting in the trailer jackknifing and a loss of vehicle control. This is especially true on wet or slippery surfaces.
• Avoid jerky starts or sudden acceleration.
• Avoid jerky steering and sharp turns, and slow down before making a turn.
• Note that when making a turn, the trailer wheels will be closer than the vehicle wheels to the inside of the turn. Compensate by making a wider than normal turning radius.
• Slow down before making a turn, in cross winds, on wet or slippery surfaces, etc. Increasing vehicle speed can destabilize the trailer.
• Take care when passing other vehicles. Passing requires considerable distance. After passing a vehicle, do not forget the length of your trailer, and be sure you have plenty of room before changing lanes.
• To maintain engine braking efficiency and charging system performance when using engine braking, do not put the transmission in D. If in the M mode, the transmission shift range position must be in 6 or lower.
• Due to the added load of the trailer, your vehicle’s engine may overheat on hot days (at temperatures over 85°F [30°C]) when driving up a long or steep grade. If the engine coolant temperature gauge indicates overheating, immediately turn off the air conditioning (if in use), pull your vehicle off the road and stop in a safe spot.

Always place wheel blocks under both the vehicle’s and the trailer’s wheels when parking. Put the transmission in P and apply the parking brake. Avoid parking on a slope, but if unavoidable, do so only after performing the following:

1. Apply the brakes and keep them applied.

2. Have someone place wheel blocks under both the vehicle’s and trailer’s wheels.

3. When the wheel blocks are in place, release the brakes slowly until the blocks absorb the load.

4. Shift into P and apply the parking brake.

5. Turn off the engine.

When restarting after parking on a slope:

1. With the transmission in P, start the engine. Be sure to keep the brake pedal depressed.

2. Shift into a forward gear. If reversing, shift into R.

3. If the parking brake is in manual mode, release the parking brake.

4. Release the brake pedal, and slowly pull or back away from the wheel blocks. Stop and apply the brakes.

5. Have someone retrieve the blocks.

Your vehicle is not designed to be dinghy towed (with 4 wheels on the ground) behind a motor home.

NOTICE: To avoid serious damage to your vehicle

• Do not tow your vehicle with the four wheels on the ground.
• AWD models: Never tow this vehicle with any of the wheels on the ground. This may cause serious damage to the transmission and Dynamic Torque Control AWD system.
• 2WD models: Never tow this vehicle from the rear with the front wheels on the ground. This may cause serious damage to the transmission.

WARNING

• When starting the engine: Always start the engine while sitting in the driver’s seat. Do not depress the accelerator pedal while starting the engine under any circumstances. Doing so may cause an accident resulting in death or serious injury.
• Caution while driving: If engine failure occurs while the vehicle is moving, do not lock or open the doors until the vehicle reaches a safe and complete stop. Activation of the steering lock in this circumstance may lead to an accident, resulting in death or serious injury.

NOTICE

• When starting the engine: Do not race a cold engine. If the engine becomes difficult to start or stalls frequently, have your vehicle checked by your Lexus dealer immediately.
• Symptoms indicating a malfunction with the engine switch: If the engine switch seems to be operating somewhat differently than usual, such as the switch sticking slightly, there may be a malfunction. Contact your Lexus dealer immediately.

1. With the driver’s door open, pull the driver’s door handle and insert the mechanical key.

2. Turn the mechanical key counterclockwise.

3. Pull out the mechanical key and close the door.

If you want to stop the engine in an emergency while driving the vehicle, press and hold the engine switch for more than 2 seconds, or press it briefly 3 times or more in succession. However, do not touch the engine switch while driving except in an emergency. Turning the engine off while driving will not cause loss of steering or braking control, but the power assist to these systems will be lost. This will make it more difficult to steer and brake, so you should pull over and stop the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do so.

Exhaust gases include harmful carbon monoxide (CO), which is colorless and odorless. Observe the following precautions. Failure to do so may cause exhaust gases to enter the vehicle and may lead to an accident caused by light-headedness, or may lead to death or a serious health hazard.

• If the vehicle is in a poorly ventilated area or a closed area, such as a garage, stop the engine.
• Do not leave the vehicle with the engine running for a long time. If such a situation cannot be avoided, park the vehicle in an open space and ensure that exhaust fumes do not enter the vehicle interior.
• Do not leave the engine running in an area with snow build-up, or where it is snowing. If snowbanks build up around the vehicle while the engine is running, exhaust gases may collect and enter the vehicle.

Modes can be changed by pressing the engine switch with the brake pedal released. (The mode changes each time the switch is pressed.)

1. Off: The emergency flashers can be used.

2. ACCESSORY mode: Some electrical components such as the audio system can be used. “ACCESSORY” will be displayed on the meters.

3. IGNITION ON mode: All electrical components can be used. “IGNITION ON” will be displayed on the meters.

Note: If the shift lever is in a position other than P when turning off the engine, the engine switch will be turned to ACCESSORY mode, not to off.

If the vehicle is left in ACCESSORY mode for more than 20 minutes or IGNITION ON mode (with the engine not running) for more than an hour with the shift lever in P, the engine switch will automatically turn off. However, this function cannot entirely prevent battery discharge. Do not leave the vehicle with the engine switch in ACCESSORY or IGNITION ON mode for long periods of time when the engine is not running.

NOTICE: To prevent battery discharge

• Do not leave the engine switch in ACCESSORY or IGNITION ON mode for long periods of time without the engine running.
• If “ACCESSORY” or “IGNITION ON” is displayed on the meters while the engine is not running, the engine switch is not off. Exit the vehicle after turning the engine switch off.

If the engine is stopped with the shift lever in a position other than P, the engine switch will not be turned off but instead be turned to ACCESSORY mode. Perform the following procedure to turn the switch off:

1. Check that the parking brake is set.

2. Shift the shift lever to P.

3. Check that “Turn Off Vehicle” is displayed on the multi-information display and then press the engine switch once.

4. Check that “Turn Off Vehicle” on the multi-information display is off.

*1: Shifting to the D position allows the system to select a gear suitable for the driving conditions. Setting the shift lever to the D position is recommended for normal driving.

*2: Selecting gears using M mode fixes the gear step, controls engine braking force, and prevents unnecessary upshifting.

While the engine switch is in IGNITION ON mode, move the shift lever with the brake pedal depressed.

When shifting the shift lever between P and D, make sure that the vehicle is completely stopped.

The shift lock system is a system to prevent accidental operation of the shift lever in starting. The shift lever can be shifted from P only when the engine switch is in IGNITION ON mode and the brake pedal is being depressed.

If the shift lever cannot be shifted from P

First, check whether the brake pedal is being depressed. If the shift lever cannot be shifted with your foot on the brake pedal, there may be a problem with the shift lock system. Have the vehicle inspected by your Lexus dealer immediately. The following steps may be used as an emergency measure to ensure that the shift lever can be shifted.

Releasing the shift lock:

1. Turn the engine switch to IGNITION ON mode and check that the parking brake is set.

2. Turn the engine switch to off.

3. Depress the brake pedal.

4. Pry the cover up with a flathead screwdriver or equivalent tool. To prevent damage to the cover, cover the tip of the screwdriver with a rag.

5. Press the shift lock override button. The shift lever can be shifted while the button is pressed.

WARNING: To prevent an accident when releasing the shift lock

Before pressing the shift lock override button, make sure to set the parking brake and depress the brake pedal. If the accelerator pedal is accidentally depressed instead of the brake pedal when the shift lock override button is pressed and the shift lever is shifted out of P, the vehicle may suddenly start, possibly leading to an accident resulting in death or serious injury.

To drive using temporary shift range selection, operate the “-” (downshift) or “+” (upshift) paddle shift switch.

When the “-” paddle shift switch is operated, the shift range will be downshifted to a range that enables engine braking force that is suitable to driving conditions. When the “+” paddle shift switch is operated, the shift range will be one gear higher than the gear in use during normal D position driving.

Changing the shift range allows restriction of the highest gear, preventing unnecessary upshifting and enabling the level of engine braking force to be selected. The selected shift range, from D1 to D8, will be displayed on the meters.

A lower shift range will provide greater engine braking forces than a higher shift range.

Automatic deactivation of shift range selection in the D position

Shift range selection in the D position will be deactivated in the following situations:

• When the vehicle comes to a stop
• If the accelerator pedal is depressed for more than a certain period of time
• When the shift lever is shifted to a position other than D
• The “+” paddle shift switch is held down for a period of time

To enter M mode, shift the shift lever to M. Gears can then be selected by operating the shift lever or paddle shift switches, allowing you to drive in the gear of your choosing.

The gear changes once every time the shift lever or paddle shift switch is operated. The selected gear, from M1 to M8, will be fixed and displayed on the meters.

When in the M position, the gear will not change unless the shift lever or paddle shift switches are operated. However, even when in the M position, the gears will be automatically changed in the following situation:

• When vehicle speed drops (downshift only).
• When the automatic transmission fluid or engine coolant temperature is low.
• When automatic transmission fluid temperature is high (upshift only).
• When the needle of the tachometer is in the red zone (the range which exceeds the allowable revs of the engine).
• The vehicle speed is low (upshift only).

1. Right turn: Push the lever up.

2. Lane change to the right: Move the lever partway up and release it. The right hand signals will flash 3 times.

3. Lane change to the left: Move the lever partway down and release it. The left hand signals will flash 3 times.

4. Left turn: Push the lever down.

Notes:

• Turn signals can be operated when the engine switch is in IGNITION ON mode.
• If the indicator flashes faster than usual, check that a light bulb in the front or rear turn signal lights has not burned out.
• If the turn signals stop flashing before a lane change has been performed, operate the lever again.

The parking brake can be set and released manually.

1. To set the parking brake: Pull the parking brake switch. The parking brake indicator light and parking brake light will turn on. Pull and hold the parking brake switch if an emergency occurs and it is necessary to operate the parking brake while driving.

2. To release the parking brake: Push the parking brake switch. Operate the switch while depressing the brake pedal or slowly depressing the accelerator pedal. Make sure that the parking brake indicator light and parking brake light turn off. If the parking brake indicator light and parking brake light flashes, operate the switch again.

• The driver’s seatbelt is fastened.
• Shift the shift lever is in a forward or reverse position.
• The malfunction indicator lamp or brake system warning light is not illuminated.

If the automatic release function does not operate, manually release the parking brake.

• If “Parking Brake Overheated Parking Brake Unavailable” is displayed: If the parking brake is operated repeatedly over a short period of time, the system may restrict operation to prevent overheating. If this happens, refrain from operating the parking brake. Normal operation will return after about 1 minute.
• If “EPB Activation Stopped Incompletely” or “Parking Brake Unavailable” is displayed: Operate the parking brake switch. If the message does not disappear after operating the switch several times, the system may be malfunctioning. Have the vehicle inspected by your Lexus dealer immediately.
• Parking brake operation sound: When the parking brake operates, a motor sound (whirring sound) may be heard. This does not indicate a malfunction.
• Parking brake engaged warning buzzer: A buzzer will sound if the vehicle is driven with the parking brake engaged. “Release Parking Brake” is displayed on the multi-information display.

WARNING

• When parking the vehicle: Do not leave a child in the vehicle alone. The parking brake may be released unintentionally and there is the danger of the vehicle moving that may lead to an accident resulting in death or serious injury.
• Parking brake switch: Do not set any objects near the parking brake switch. Objects may interfere with the switch and may lead the parking brake to unexpectedly operate.

NOTICE

• When parking the vehicle: Before you leave the vehicle, shift the shift lever to P, set the parking brake and make sure that the vehicle does not move.
• When the system malfunctions: Stop the vehicle in a safe place and check the warning messages.
• When the parking brake cannot be released due to a malfunction: Driving the vehicle with the parking brake set will lead to brake components overheating, which may affect braking performance and increase brake wear. Have the vehicle inspected by your Lexus dealer immediately if this occurs.

The brake hold system keeps the brake applied when the shift lever is in D, M or N with the system on and the brake pedal has been depressed to stop the vehicle. The system releases the brake when the accelerator pedal is depressed with the shift lever in D or M to allow smooth start off.

Enabling the system

Press the HOLD switch to turn the brake hold system on. The brake hold standby indicator (green, A) comes on. While the system is holding the brake, the brake hold operated indicator (yellow, B) comes on.

Brake hold system operating conditions

The brake hold system cannot be turned on in the following conditions:

• The driver’s door is not closed.
• The driver is not wearing the seat belt.

If any of the conditions above are detected when the brake hold system is enabled, the system will turn off and the brake hold standby indicator light will go off. In addition, if any of the conditions are detected while the system is holding the brake, a warning buzzer will sound and a message will be shown on the multi-information display. The parking brake will then be set automatically.

Brake hold function details:

• If the brake pedal is left released for a period of about 3 minutes after the system has started holding the brake, the parking brake will be set automatically. In this case, a warning buzzer sounds and a message is shown on the multi-information display.
• To turn the system off while it is holding the brake, firmly depress the brake pedal and press the button again.
• The brake hold function may not hold the vehicle when the vehicle is on a steep incline. A warning buzzer will sound and the multi-information display will inform the driver of this situation.

When the parking brake is set automatically while the system is holding the brakes, perform any of the following to release it:

• Depress the accelerator pedal. (The parking brake will not be released automatically if the seat belt is not fastened.)
• Operate the parking brake switch with the brake pedal depressed.

Troubleshooting:

• If the brake hold standby indicator (green) does not illuminate when the switch is pressed and operating conditions are met, the system may be malfunctioning. Have the vehicle inspected.
• If “Brake Hold Fault Depress Brake to Deactivate Visit Your Dealer” or “Brake Hold Malfunction Visit Your Dealer” is displayed, the system may be malfunctioning. Have the vehicle inspected.

WARNING

• When the vehicle is on a steep incline: When using the brake hold system on a steep incline exercise caution. The brake hold function may not hold the vehicle in such a situation.
• When stopped on a slippery road: The system cannot stop the vehicle when the gripping ability of the tires has been exceeded. Do not use the system when stopped on a slippery road.

NOTICE

• When parking the vehicle: The brake hold system is not designed for use when parking the vehicle for a long period of time. Turning the engine switch off while the system is holding the brake may release the brake, which would cause the vehicle to move. When operating the engine switch, depress the brake pedal, shift the shift lever to P and set the parking brake.

Operating the switch turns on the lights as follows:

1. (Side marker/Parking lights): The side marker, parking, tail, license plate, instrument panel lights, and daytime running lights turn on.

2. (Headlights): The headlights and all lights listed above (except daytime running lights) turn on.

3. AUTO: The headlights, daytime running lights and all the lights listed in position 1 turn on and off automatically. (When the engine switch is in IGNITION ON mode.)

4. DRL OFF (U.S.A.): Turns daytime running lights off.

To make your vehicle more visible to other drivers during daytime driving, the daytime running lights turn on automatically when all of the following conditions are met. (The daytime running lights are not designed for use at night.)

• The engine is running.
• The parking brake is released.
• The headlight switch is in the parking light or AUTO position (when the surroundings are bright).

The daytime running lights remain on after they illuminate, even if the parking brake is set again. For the U.S.A., daytime running lights can be turned off by operating the switch. Compared to turning on the headlights, the daytime running light system offers greater durability and consumes less electricity, so it can help improve fuel economy.

• When the headlights come on: The headlights and tail lights turn off 30 seconds after a door is opened and closed if the engine switch is turned to ACCESSORY mode or turned off. (The lights turn off immediately if the unlock button on the key is pressed after all the doors are locked.)
• When only the tail lights are on: The tail lights turn off automatically if the engine switch is turned to ACCESSORY mode or turned off and the driver’s door is opened.

To turn the lights on again, turn the engine switch to IGNITION ON mode, or turn the light switch off once and then back to the parking light or headlight ON position.

In order to prevent the battery of the vehicle from discharging, if the headlights and/or tail lights are on when the engine switch is turned off, the battery saving function will operate and automatically turn off all the lights after approximately 20 minutes. When the engine switch is turned to IGNITION ON mode, the battery-saving function will be disabled.

When any of the following are performed, the battery-saving function is canceled once and then reactivated. All the lights will turn off automatically 20 minutes after the battery-saving function has been reactivated:

• When the headlight switch is operated
• When a door is opened or closed

2. To flash the high beams, pull the lever toward you and release it to flash them once. You can flash the high beams with the headlights on or off.

AFS (Adaptive Front-lighting System) secures excellent visibility at intersections and on curves by automatically adjusting the direction of the light axis of the headlights according to vehicle speed and the degree of the tire’s angle as controlled by steering input.

AFS operates at speeds of 6 mph (10 km/h) or higher.

• When the steering wheel or turn signal lever is operated while the headlights are on (low beam), a cornering light will turn on and light up the direction of movement of the vehicle. The cornering lights are designed to ensure excellent visibility when making a turn at an intersection. However, when vehicle speed is approximately 22 mph (35 km/h) or higher, the cornering lights will not turn on.
• When the shift lever is in R while the headlights are on (low beam), both cornering lights will turn on. This is designed to enhance visibility when parking.
• When the cornering lights are on for more than 30 minutes, they will turn off automatically.

The Automatic High Beam uses a camera sensor located behind the upper portion of the windshield to assess the brightness of the lights of vehicles ahead, streetlights, etc., and automatically turns the high beams on or off as necessary.

Activating the Automatic High Beam

1. Press the Automatic High Beam switch.

2. Turn the headlight switch to the AUTO or headlight ON position.

The Automatic High Beam indicator will come on when the system is operating.

• The vehicle speed is below approximately 17 mph (27 km/h).
• The area ahead of the vehicle is not dark.
• Vehicles ahead have their headlights or tail lights turned on.
• There are many streetlights on the road ahead.

In the following situations the system may not be able to correctly detect the surrounding brightness level. This may cause the low beams to remain on or the high beams to flash or dazzle pedestrians or vehicles ahead. In such a case, it is necessary to manually switch between the high and low beams.

• When driving in inclement weather (heavy rain, snow, fog, sandstorms, etc.)
• When the windshield is obscured by fog, mist, ice, dirt, etc.
• When the windshield is cracked or damaged
• When the camera sensor is deformed or dirty
• When the temperature of the camera sensor is extremely high
• When the surrounding brightness level is equal to that of headlights, tail lights or fog lights
• When headlights or tail lights of vehicles ahead are turned off, dirty, changing color, or not aimed properly
• When the vehicle is hit by water, snow, dust, etc. from a preceding vehicle
• When driving through an area of intermittently changing brightness and darkness
• When frequently and repeatedly driving ascending/descending roads, or roads with rough, bumpy or uneven surfaces
• When frequently and repeatedly taking curves or driving on a winding road
• When there is a highly reflective object ahead of the vehicle, such as a sign or mirror

A system may be temporarily unavailable or there may be a malfunction in the system. In the following situations, perform the actions specified in the table. When the normal operating conditions are detected, the message will disappear and the system will become operational. If the message does not disappear, contact your Lexus dealer.

In the following situations, if the situation has changed (or the vehicle has been driven for some time) and the normal operating conditions are detected, the message will disappear and the system will become operational. If the message does not disappear, contact your Lexus dealer.

• When the temperature around the radar sensor is outside of the operational range, such as when the vehicle is in the sun or in an extremely cold environment

• When the front camera cannot detect objects in front of the vehicle, such as when driving in the dark, snow, or fog, or when bright lights are shining into the front camera

The pre-collision system uses a radar sensor and front camera to detect objects in front of the vehicle. When the system determines that the possibility of a frontal collision with an object is high, a warning operates to urge the driver to take evasive action and the potential brake pressure is increased to help the driver avoid the collision. If the system determines that the possibility of a frontal collision with an object is extremely high, the brakes are automatically applied to help avoid the collision or help reduce the impact of the collision.

The pre-collision system can be disabled/enabled and the warning timing can be changed.

The system can detect the following:

• Vehicles

• Bicyclists

• Pedestrians

• Pre-collision warning

When the system determines that the possibility of a frontal collision is high, a buzzer will sound and a warning message will be displayed on the multi-information display to urge the driver to take evasive action.

• Pre-collision brake assist

When the system determines that the possibility of a frontal collision is high, the system applies greater braking force in relation to how strongly the brake pedal is depressed.

• Pre-collision braking

If the system determines that the possibility of a frontal collision is extremely high, the brakes are automatically applied to help avoid the collision or reduce the impact of the collision.

• Suspension control (if equipped)

When the system determines that the possibility of a frontal collision is high, the Adaptive Variable Suspension System will control the damping force of the shock absorbers to help maintain an appropriate vehicle posture.

• The driver is solely responsible for safe driving. Always drive safely, taking care to observe your surroundings. Do not use the pre-collision system instead of normal braking operations under any circumstances. This system will not prevent collisions or lessen collision damage or injury in every situation. Do not overly rely on this system. Failure to do so may lead to an accident, resulting in death or serious injury.

• Although this system is designed to help avoid a collision or help reduce the impact of the collision, its effectiveness may change according to various conditions, therefore the system may not always be able to achieve the same level of performance.

• Do not attempt to test the operation of the pre-collision system yourself. Depending on the objects used for testing, the system may not operate properly, possibly leading to an accident.

• When the pre-collision braking function is operating, a large amount of braking force will be applied.

• If the vehicle is stopped by the operation of the pre-collision braking function, the operation will be canceled after approximately 2 seconds. Depress the brake pedal as necessary.

• The pre-collision braking function may not operate if certain operations are performed by the driver. If the accelerator pedal is being depressed strongly or the steering wheel is being turned, the system may determine that the driver is taking evasive action and possibly prevent the pre-collision braking function from operating.

• In some situations, while the pre-collision braking function is operating, operation of the function may be canceled if the accelerator pedal is depressed strongly or the steering wheel is turned and the system determines that the driver is taking evasive action.

• If the brake pedal is being depressed, the system may determine that the driver is taking evasive action and possibly delay the operation timing of the pre-collision braking function.

In the following situations, disable the system, as it may not operate properly, possibly leading to an accident resulting in death or serious injury:

• When the vehicle is being towed

• When your vehicle is towing another vehicle

• When transporting the vehicle via truck, boat, train or similar means of transportation

• When the vehicle is raised on a lift with the engine running and the tires are allowed to rotate freely

• When inspecting the vehicle using a drum tester such as a chassis dynamometer or speedometer tester, or when using an on-vehicle wheel balancer

• When a strong impact is applied to the front bumper or front grille, due to an accident or other reasons

• If the vehicle cannot be driven in a stable manner, such as when the vehicle has been in an accident or is malfunctioning

• When the vehicle is driven in a sporty manner or off-road

• When the tires are not properly inflated

• When the tires are very worn

• When tires of a size other than specified are installed

• When tire chains are installed

• When a compact spare tire or an emergency tire puncture repair kit is used

• If equipment (snow plow, etc.) that may obstruct the radar sensor or front camera is temporarily installed to the vehicle

The pre-collision system can be enabled/disabled on the multi-information display.

The system is automatically enabled each time the engine switch is turned to IGNITION ON mode.

If the system is disabled, the PCS warning light will turn on and a message will be displayed on the multi-information display.

The pre-collision warning timing can be changed on the multi-information display. The settings are Early, Middle (default), and Late.

The warning timing setting is retained when the engine switch is turned off. However, if the pre-collision system is disabled and re-enabled, the operation timing will return to the default setting (middle).

Pre-collision warning

Pre-collision brake assist

Pre-collision braking

The system may not operate in the following situations:

• If a battery terminal has been disconnected and reconnected and then the vehicle has not been driven for a certain amount of time

• If the shift lever is in R

• When the VSC OFF indicator is illuminated (only the pre-collision warning function will be operational)

If either of the following occur while the pre-collision braking function is operating, it will be canceled:

• The accelerator pedal is depressed strongly.

• The steering wheel is turned sharply or abruptly.

In some situations such as the following, the system may determine that there is a possibility of a frontal collision and operate.

• After the engine has started the vehicle has not been driven for a certain amount of time

• While making a left/right turn and for a few seconds after making a left/right turn

• While driving on a curve and for a few seconds after driving on a curve

• If your vehicle is skidding

• If the front of the vehicle is raised or lowered

• If the wheels are misaligned

• If a wiper blade is blocking the front camera

• The vehicle is being driven at extremely high speeds

• When driving on a hill

• If the radar sensor or front camera is misaligned

• In some situations such as the following, sufficient braking force may not be obtained, preventing the system from performing properly:

– If the braking functions cannot operate to their full extent, such as when the brake parts are extremely cold, extremely hot, or wet

– If the vehicle is not properly maintained (brakes or tires are excessively worn, improper tire inflation pressure, etc.)

– When the vehicle is being driven on a gravel road or other slippery surface

If VSC is disabled, the pre-collision brake assist and pre-collision braking functions are also disabled.

The PCS warning light will turn on and “VSC Turned Off Pre-Collision Brake System Unavailable” will be displayed on the multi-information display.

When driving on highways and freeways with white (yellow) lane lines, this function alerts the driver when the vehicle might depart from its lane or course and provides assistance by operating the steering wheel to keep the vehicle in its lane or course. Furthermore, the system provides steering assistance when dynamic radar cruise control with full-speed range is operating to keep the vehicle in its lane.

The LTA system recognizes white (yellow) lane lines or a course using the front camera. Additionally, it detects preceding vehicles using the front camera and radar.

* A course is the boundary between asphalt and the side of the road, such as grass, soil, or a curb.

• Do not rely solely upon the LTA system. The LTA system does not automatically drive the vehicle or reduce the amount of attention that must be paid to the area in front of the vehicle. The driver must always assume full responsibility for driving safely by paying careful attention to the surrounding conditions and operating the steering wheel to correct the path of the vehicle. Also, the driver must take adequate breaks when fatigued, such as from driving for a long period of time.

• Failure to perform appropriate driving operations and pay careful attention may lead to an accident, resulting in death or serious injury.

• When not using the LTA system, use the LTA switch to turn the system off.

In the following situations, use the LTA switch to turn the system off. Failure to do so may lead to an accident, resulting in death or serious injury.

• Vehicle is driven on a road surface which is slippery due to rainy weather, fallen snow, freezing, etc.

• Vehicle is driven on a snow-covered road.

• White (yellow) lines are difficult to see due to rain, snow, fog, dust, etc.

• Vehicle is driven in a temporary lane or restricted lane due to construction work.

Lane departure alert function

When the system determines that the vehicle might depart from its lane or course*, a warning is displayed on the multi-information display, and either a warning buzzer will sound or the steering wheel will vibrate to alert the driver. When the warning buzzer sounds or the steering wheel vibrates, check the area around your vehicle and carefully operate the steering wheel to move the vehicle back to the center of the lane. Vehicle with BSM: When the system determines that the vehicle might depart from its lane and that the possibility of a collision with an overtaking vehicle in the adjacent lane is high, the lane departure alert will operate even if the turn signals are operating.

Steering assist function

When the system determines that the vehicle might depart from its lane or course*, the system provides assistance as necessary by operating the steering wheel in small amounts for a short period of time to keep the vehicle in its lane. If the system detects that the steering wheel has not been operated for a fixed amount of time or the steering wheel is not being firmly gripped, a warning is displayed on the multi-information display and the function is temporarily canceled. Vehicle with BSM: When the system determines that the vehicle might depart from its lane and that the possibility of a collision with an overtaking vehicle in the adjacent lane is high, the steering assist function will operate even if the turn signals are operating.

Vehicle sway warning function

When the vehicle is swaying within a lane, the warning buzzer will sound and a message will be displayed on the multi-information display to alert the driver.

Lane centering function

This function is linked with dynamic radar cruise control with full-speed range and provides the required assistance by operating the steering wheel to keep the vehicle in its current lane. When dynamic radar cruise control with full-speed range is not operating, the lane centering function does not operate. In situations where the white (yellow) lane lines are difficult to see or are not visible, such as when in a traffic jam, this function will operate to help follow a preceding vehicle by monitoring the position of the preceding vehicle. If the system detects that the steering wheel has not been operated for a fixed amount of time or the steering wheel is not being firmly gripped, a warning is displayed on the multi-information display and the function is temporarily canceled.

In the following situations, a warning message urging the driver to hold the steering wheel and a symbol are displayed on the multi-information display to warn the driver. The warning stops when the system determines that the driver holds the steering wheel. Always keep your hands on the steering wheel when using this system, regardless of warnings.

• When the system determines that the driver is driving without holding the steering wheel while the system is operating. If the driver continues to keep their hands off of the steering wheel, the buzzer sounds, the driver is warned and the function is temporarily canceled. This warning also operates in the same way when the driver continuously operates the steering wheel only a small amount.

• When the system determines that the vehicle may deviate from the lane while driving around a curve while the lane centering function is operating.

• When the system determines that the driver is driving without holding the steering wheel while the steering wheel assist of the steering assist function is operating. If the driver continues to keep their hands off of the steering wheel and the steering wheel assist is operating, the buzzer sounds and the driver is warned. Each time the buzzer sounds, the continuing time of the buzzer becomes longer.

If a warning message is displayed on the multi-information display and the LTA indicator illuminates in orange, follow the appropriate troubleshooting procedure. If a different warning message is displayed, follow the instructions displayed on the screen.

• “LTA Malfunction Visit Your Dealer”: The system may not be operating properly. Have the vehicle inspected by your Lexus dealer.

• “LTA Unavailable”: The system is temporarily canceled due to a malfunction in a sensor other than the front camera. Turn the LTA system off, wait for a little while, and then turn the LTA system back on.

• “LTA Unavailable at Current Speed”: The function cannot be used as the vehicle speed exceeds the LTA operation range. Drive slower.

If equipped, the RSA system recognizes specific road signs using the front camera to provide information to the driver via the display.

If the system judges that the vehicle is being driven over the speed limit, performing prohibited actions, etc. according to the recognized road signs, it notifies the driver through a visual notification and notification buzzer.

Do not rely solely upon the RSA system. RSA is a system which supports the driver by providing information, but it is not a replacement for a driver’s own vision and awareness. Drive safely by always paying careful attention to the traffic rules.

The following types of road signs, including electronic signs and blinking signs, are recognized:

• Speed limit

• Do Not Enter

• Stop

• Yield

A non-official or a recently introduced traffic sign may not be recognized.

In the following situations, the RSA system will notify the driver:

• When the vehicle speed exceeds the speed notification threshold of the speed limit sign displayed, the sign display will be emphasized and a buzzer will sound.

• When the RSA system recognizes a do not enter sign and determines that your vehicle has entered a no-entry area, the displayed sign will flash and a buzzer will sound.

Depending on the situation, a notification function may not operate properly.

In the following situations, RSA does not operate normally and may not recognize signs, display the incorrect sign, etc. However, this does not indicate a malfunction.

• The front camera is misaligned due to a strong impact being applied to the sensor, etc.

• Dirt, snow, stickers, etc. are on the windshield near the front camera.

• In inclement weather such as heavy rain, fog, snow or sand storms.

• Light from an oncoming vehicle, the sun, etc. enters the front camera.

• The sign is dirty, faded, tilted or bent.

• The contrast of electronic sign is low.

• All or part of the sign is hidden by the leaves of a tree, a pole, etc.

• The sign is only visible to the front camera for a short amount of time.

• The driving scene (turning, lane change, etc.) is judged incorrectly.

• If a sign not appropriate for the currently traveled lane, but the sign exists directly after a freeway branches, or in an adjacent lane just before merging.

• Stickers are attached to the rear of the preceding vehicle.

• A sign resembling a system compatible sign is recognized.

• Side road speed signs may be detected and displayed (if positioned in sight of the front camera) while the vehicle is traveling on the main road.

• Roundabout exit road speed signs may be detected and displayed (if positioned in sight of the front camera) while traveling on a roundabout.

• The front of the vehicle is raised or lowered due to the carried load.

• The surrounding brightness is not sufficient or changes suddenly.

• When a sign intended for trucks, etc. is recognized.

• The speed information displayed on the meter and on the navigation system may be different due to the navigation system using map data.

This system has two modes:

• Vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode: The vehicle automatically accelerates, decelerates and stops to match the speed changes of the preceding vehicle even if the accelerator pedal is not depressed.

• Constant speed control mode: The vehicle runs at a fixed speed.

Use the dynamic radar cruise control with full-speed range on freeways and highways.

• Driving safely is the sole responsibility of the driver. Do not rely solely on the system, and drive safely by always paying careful attention to your surroundings.

• The dynamic radar cruise control with full-speed range provides driving assistance to reduce the driver’s burden. However, there are limitations to the assistance provided. Read conditions carefully and do not overly rely on this system.

• Set the speed appropriately depending on the speed limit, traffic flow, road conditions, weather conditions, etc. The driver is responsible for checking the set speed.

• Even when the system is functioning normally, the condition of the preceding vehicle as detected by the system may differ from the condition observed by the driver. Therefore, the driver must always remain alert, assess the danger of each situation and drive safely.

• Switch the dynamic radar cruise control with full-speed range setting to off, using the “ON/OFF” button when not in use.

Do not use dynamic radar cruise control with full-speed range in any of the following situations. Doing so may result in inappropriate speed control and could cause an accident resulting in death or serious injury.

• Roads where there are pedestrians, cyclists, etc.

• In heavy traffic

• On roads with sharp bends

• On winding roads

• On slippery roads, such as those covered with rain, ice or snow

• On steep downhills, or where there are sudden changes between sharp up and down gradients. Vehicle speed may exceed the set speed when driving down a steep hill.

• At entrances to freeways and highways

• When weather conditions are bad enough that they may prevent the sensors from detecting correctly (fog, snow, sandstorm, heavy rain, etc.)

• When there is rain, snow, etc. on the front surface of the radar or front camera

• In traffic conditions that require frequent repeated acceleration and deceleration

• When your vehicle is towing a trailer or during emergency towing

• When an approach warning buzzer is heard often

This mode uses a radar to detect vehicles up to approximately 328 ft. (100 m) ahead and operates to maintain a suitable following distance.

• Constant speed cruising: When there are no vehicles ahead, the vehicle travels at the speed set by the driver.

• Deceleration and follow-up cruising: When a preceding vehicle is detected driving slower than the set speed, the system automatically decelerates your vehicle. It will apply brakes if needed and respond to speed changes to maintain the set distance. An approach warning will sound if the system cannot decelerate sufficiently.

• Stopping: When the vehicle ahead stops, your vehicle will also stop. To resume, push the cruise control lever up or depress the accelerator pedal.

• Acceleration (overtaking): When you use the turn signal to move to an overtaking lane at 50 mph (80 km/h) or more, the vehicle will accelerate to help overtake.

Setting the Vehicle Speed

1. Press the “ON/OFF” button to activate the cruise control. The dynamic radar cruise control indicator will come on.

2. Accelerate or decelerate to the desired speed (at or above approx. 20 mph [30 km/h]) and push the lever down to set the speed. The “SET” indicator will come on.

Adjusting the Set Speed

To change the set speed, operate the lever until the desired speed is displayed.

• Pushing up: Increases the speed (Except when the vehicle has been stopped by system control).

• Pushing down: Decreases the speed.

• Fine adjustment: Momentarily move the lever in the desired direction.

• Large adjustment: Hold the lever up or down to change the speed, and release when the desired speed is reached.

Pressing the vehicle-to-vehicle distance switch changes the distance setting as follows: Long, Medium, and Short. The distances shown below correspond to a vehicle speed of 50 mph (80 km/h) and will change in accordance with vehicle speed.

Canceling and resuming the speed control:

• To cancel: Pull the lever toward you or depress the brake pedal. (When stopped by system control, depressing the brake does not cancel the setting).

• To resume: Pushing the lever up resumes the cruise control and returns the vehicle to the set speed.

Resuming follow-up cruising when stopped by system control:

After the vehicle ahead starts off, push the lever up. Your vehicle will also resume follow-up cruising if the accelerator pedal is depressed after the vehicle ahead of you starts off.

When your vehicle is too close to a vehicle ahead, and sufficient automatic deceleration via the cruise control is not possible, the display will flash and the buzzer will sound to alert the driver. An example of this would be if another driver cuts in front of you while you are following a vehicle. Depress the brake pedal to ensure an appropriate vehicle-to-vehicle distance.

Warnings may not occur when:

• The speed of the preceding vehicle matches or exceeds your vehicle speed.

• The preceding vehicle is traveling at an extremely slow speed.

• Immediately after the cruise control speed was set.

• When depressing the accelerator.

Select this mode only when vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode does not function correctly due to a dirty radar, etc.

1. With the cruise control off, press and hold the “ON/OFF” button for 1.5 seconds or more. The cruise control indicator will come on.

2. Accelerate or decelerate to the desired speed (at or above approx. 20 mph [30 km/h]) and push the lever down to set the speed.

Vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode is automatically canceled in the following situations:

• VSC is activated.

• TRAC is activated for a period of time.

• When the VSC or TRAC system is turned off.

• The sensor cannot detect correctly because it is covered in some way.

• Pre-collision braking is activated.

• The parking brake is operated.

• The vehicle is stopped by system control on a steep incline.

• The following are detected when the vehicle has been stopped by system control: The driver is not wearing a seat belt, the driver’s door is opened, or the vehicle has been stopped for about 3 minutes.

Constant speed control mode is automatically canceled in the following situations:

• Actual vehicle speed is more than approximately 10 mph (16 km/h) below the set vehicle speed.

• Actual vehicle speed falls below approximately 20 mph (30 km/h).

• VSC is activated.

• TRAC is activated for a period of time.

• When the VSC or TRAC system is turned off.

• Pre-collision braking is activated.

If the system is automatically canceled for any other reasons, there may be a malfunction. Contact your Lexus dealer.

In the case of the following, operate the brake pedal when deceleration is insufficient or operate the accelerator when acceleration is required. The sensor may not be able to correctly detect these types of vehicles, and the approach warning may not be activated.

• Vehicles that cut in suddenly

• Vehicles traveling at low speeds

• Vehicles that are not moving in the same lane

• Vehicles with small rear ends (trailers with no load on board, etc.)

• Motorcycles traveling in the same lane

• When water or snow thrown up by surrounding vehicles hinders sensor detection

• When your vehicle is pointing upwards (caused by a heavy load, etc.)

• Preceding vehicle has an extremely high ground clearance

The system may also not operate properly when the road curves, lanes are narrow, or your steering is unstable.

If equipped, the Blind Spot Monitor is a system that uses rear side radar sensors installed on the inner side of the rear bumper to assist the driver in confirming safety when changing lanes.

The driver is solely responsible for safe driving. The Blind Spot Monitor is a supplementary function that alerts the driver that a vehicle is in a blind spot or is approaching rapidly from behind into a blind spot. Do not overly rely on the system. As the function cannot judge if it is safe to change lanes, over-reliance could lead to an accident.

• Outside rear view mirror indicators: When a vehicle is detected in a blind spot or approaching rapidly from behind into a blind spot, the outside rear view mirror indicator on the detected side will illuminate. If the turn signal lever is operated toward the detected side, the outside rear view mirror indicator flashes. In strong sunlight, the indicator may be difficult to see.

• BSM indicator: Illuminates when the Blind Spot Monitor is enabled.

Ice, snow, mud, etc., may be attached to the rear bumper around the sensors. The system should return to normal operation after removing the ice, snow, mud, etc. from the rear bumper. Additionally, the sensors may not operate normally when driving in extremely hot or cold environments.

The BSM will not detect:

• Small motorcycles, bicycles, pedestrians, etc.

• Vehicles traveling in the opposite direction

• Guardrails, walls, signs, parked vehicles and similar stationary objects

• Following vehicles that are in the same lane

• Vehicles traveling 2 lanes away from your vehicle

• Vehicles which are being overtaken rapidly by your vehicle

If equipped, the Parking Support Alert system consists of functions that operate when driving at a low speed or backing up, such as when parking. When the system determines that the possibility of a collision with a detected object or a wall is high, a warning operates to urge the driver to take evasive action.

The system includes:

• Intuitive parking assist (if equipped): Ultrasonic sensors detect static objects in the detection area when driving at a low speed or backing up.

• RCTA (Rear Cross Traffic Alert) function (if equipped): Rear side radar sensors detect approaching vehicles in the detection areas behind the vehicle when backing up.

Adjusting the buzzer volume:

The buzzer volume can be adjusted on the multi-information display. The volume of buzzers for the intuitive parking assist and RCTA function will be adjusted simultaneously. Use the meter control switches to change the volume level between 1, 2, and 3.

Muting a buzzer temporarily:

A mute button will be displayed on the multi-information display when an object is detected. Press the mute button to mute the buzzer. For vehicles with Intuitive parking assist, this mutes both the intuitive parking assist and RCTA buzzers simultaneously.

Mute will be canceled automatically in the following situations:

• When the shift lever is changed.

• When the vehicle speed exceeds a certain speed.

• When there is a malfunction in a sensor or the system is temporarily unavailable.

• When the operating function is disabled manually.

• When the engine switch is turned off.

If equipped, this system measures the distance from your vehicle to objects, such as a wall, when parking. It communicates this via the multi-information display, head-up display (if equipped), Center Display and a buzzer. Always check the surrounding area when using this system.

System components:

• Sensors: Front corner sensors, front center sensors, rear corner sensors, and rear center sensors.

• Display: When sensors detect an object, a graphic is shown on the multi-information display, head-up display, and Center Display, depending on the position and distance to the object.

• A shift lever other than P is selected.

When to have the vehicle checked by a dealer:

• The operation display flashes or shows continuously, and a buzzer sounds when no objects are detected.

• The area around a sensor collides with something, or is subjected to strong impact.

• The bumper or grille collides with something.

If “Parking Assist Unavailable” is displayed:

This may happen if water is continuously flowing over the sensor (heavy rain). The system should return to normal when conditions improve. It can also mean initialization is needed after a battery disconnect. To initialize, drive the vehicle straight ahead for 5 seconds or more at approx. 22 mph (35 km/h) or more. If the message persists, have the vehicle inspected.

If “Parking Assist Unavailable Clean Parking Assist Sensor” is displayed:

A sensor may be covered with ice, snow, dirt, etc. Clean the sensor to return the system to normal. If ice forms on a sensor in low temperatures, the system may not work until the ice melts.

The shape of the object may prevent the sensor from detecting it. Pay particular attention to the following objects:

• Wires, fences, ropes, etc.

• Cotton, snow and other materials that absorb sound waves

• Sharply-angled objects

• Low objects

• Tall objects with upper sections projecting outwards in the direction of your vehicle

People may not be detected if they are wearing certain types of clothing.

The diagram shows the detection range of the sensors. Note that the sensors cannot detect objects that are extremely close to the vehicle.

• Front/Rear Corner Sensors: Approximately 2.0 ft. (60 cm)

• Front Center Sensors: Approximately 3.3 ft. (100 cm)

• Rear Center Sensors: Approximately 4.9 ft. (150 cm)

When an object is detected, the approximate distance is displayed on the multi-information display, Center Display, and head-up display. As the distance shortens, the distance segments may blink.

• 4.9 ft. (150 cm) to 2.0 ft. (60 cm) (Rear center sensor)

• 3.3 ft. (100 cm) to 2.0 ft. (60 cm) (Front center sensor)

• 2.0 ft. (60 cm) to 1.5 ft. (45 cm)

• 1.5 ft. (45 cm) to 1.0 ft. (30 cm)

• 1.0 ft. (30 cm) to 0.5 ft. (15 cm) (Segments blink slowly, buzzer mute disabled)

• Less than 0.5 ft. (15 cm) (Segments blink rapidly, buzzer mute disabled)

• The buzzer beeps faster as the vehicle approaches an object. When the vehicle comes within approximately 1.0 ft. (30 cm) of the object, the buzzer sounds continuously.

• When 2 or more objects are detected simultaneously, the buzzer sounds for the nearest object. If one or more objects come within approximately 1.0 ft. (30 cm), the buzzer will repeat a long tone, followed by fast beeps.

• Automatic buzzer mute function: After a buzzer begins sounding, if the distance between the vehicle and the detected object does not become shorter, the buzzer will be muted automatically. (However, if the distance is 1.0 ft. (30 cm) or less, this function will not operate.)

If equipped, the RCTA function uses the BSM rear side radar sensors installed behind the rear bumper. This function is intended to assist the driver in checking areas that are not easily visible when backing up.

System Components:

• Meter control switches: For turning the RCTA function on/off. When disabled, the RCTA OFF indicator illuminates.

• Outside rear view mirror indicators: When a vehicle approaching from the right or left at the rear of the vehicle is detected, both outside rear view mirror indicators will flash.

• Center Display: Provides visual alerts.

If a vehicle approaching from the right or left at the rear of the vehicle is detected, the RCTA system provides the following alerts:

RCTA Icon: The RCTA icon for the detected side will be displayed on the Center Display.

WARNING: Cautions regarding the use of the function

The driver is solely responsible for safe driving. Always drive safely, taking care to observe your surroundings.

The RCTA function is only a supplementary function which alerts the driver that a vehicle is approaching from the right or left at the rear of the vehicle. As the RCTA function may not function correctly under certain conditions, the driver’s own visual confirmation of safety is necessary. Over reliance on this function may lead to an accident resulting in death or serious injury.

NOTICE: Before using the RCTA function

Do not place objects near the sensors.

Outside rear view mirror indicator visibility: In strong sunlight, the outside rear view mirror indicator may be difficult to see.

Hearing the RCTA buzzer: The RCTA buzzer may be difficult to hear over loud noises, such as if the audio system volume is high.

Water, ice, snow, mud, etc., may be attached to the rear bumper around the sensors. Removing the water, ice, snow, mud, etc., from the attached to the rear bumper around the sensors should return the function to normal.

The RCTA function uses rear side radar sensors to detect vehicles approaching from the right or left at the rear of the vehicle. It alerts the driver of the presence of such vehicles by flashing the outside rear view mirror indicators and sounding a buzzer.

When a vehicle approaching from the right or left at the rear of the vehicle is detected, an RCTA icon will be displayed on the Center Display. The illustration shows examples for vehicles with the Lexus parking assist monitor or Panoramic view monitor.

Additionally, the function may not operate normally when driving in extremely hot or cold environments.

The buzzer can alert the driver of faster vehicles approaching from farther away. Here are examples of the alert distance:

The RCTA function operates when all of the following conditions are met:

• The engine switch is in IGNITION ON mode.

• The RCTA function is on.

• The shift lever is in R.

• The vehicle speed is less than approximately 5 mph (8 km/h).

• The approaching vehicle speed is between approximately 5 mph (8 km/h) and 18 mph (28 km/h).

The buzzer volume can be adjusted on the multi-information display. Use the meter control switches to change settings.

The RCTA function is not designed to detect the following types of vehicles and/or objects:

• Vehicles approaching from directly behind

• Vehicles backing up in a parking space next to your vehicle

• Vehicles that the sensors cannot detect due to obstructions

• Guardrails, walls, signs, parked vehicles and similar stationary objects

• Small motorcycles, bicycles, pedestrians, etc.*

• Vehicles moving away from your vehicle

• Vehicles approaching from the parking spaces next to your vehicle*

* Depending on the conditions, detection of a vehicle and/or object may occur.

Conditions under which the RCTA function may not function correctly:

• When a sensor is misaligned due to a strong impact to the sensor or its surrounding area

• When mud, snow, ice, a sticker, etc. is covering a sensor or its surrounding area on the rear bumper

• When driving on a road surface that is wet with standing water during bad weather, such as heavy rain, snow, or fog

• When multiple vehicles are approaching with only a small gap between each vehicle

• If a vehicle is approaching the rear of your vehicle rapidly

• When a towing eyelet is installed to the rear of the vehicle.

• When backing up on a slope with a sharp change in grade

• When backing out of a shallow angle parking spot

• Immediately after the RCTA function is turned on

• Immediately after the engine is started with the RCTA function on

• When the sensors cannot detect a vehicle due to obstructions

Instances of the RCTA function unnecessarily detecting a vehicle and/or object may increase in the following situations:

• When a vehicle passes by the side of your vehicle

• When the parking space faces a street and vehicles are being driven on the street

• When the distance between your vehicle and metal objects, such as a guardrail, wall, sign, or parked vehicle, which may reflect electrical waves toward the rear of the vehicle, is short

• When a towing eyelet is installed to the rear of the vehicle

The Parking Support Brake system consists of functions that operate when driving at a low speed or backing up. When the system determines that the possibility of a collision with a detected object is high, a warning operates to urge the driver to take evasive action. If the system determines that the possibility of a collision is extremely high, the brakes are automatically applied to help avoid the collision or reduce its impact.

The system includes:

• Parking Support Brake function (static objects) (if equipped): Uses ultrasonic sensors to detect static objects like a wall when driving at a low speed or backing up.

• Parking Support Brake function (rear-crossing vehicles) (if equipped): Uses rear radar sensors to detect approaching vehicles behind the vehicle when backing up.

WARNING: Limitations of the Parking Support Brake system

Do not overly rely on the system, as doing so may lead to an accident.

• The driver is solely responsible for safe driving. Always drive carefully, taking care to observe your surroundings.

• The Parking Support Brake system is designed to provide support to lessen the severity of collisions. However, it may not operate in some situations.

• The Parking Support Brake system is not designed to stop the vehicle completely. Additionally, even if the system has stopped the vehicle, it is necessary to depress the brake pedal immediately as brake control will be canceled after approximately 2 seconds.

If this message is displayed immediately after the engine switch is changed to IGNITION ON mode, operate the vehicle carefully, paying attention to your surroundings. It may be necessary to drive the vehicle for a certain amount of time before the system returns to normal. If the system does not return to normal after driving for a while, clean the sensors and their surrounding area on the bumpers.

If the message is displayed only when the shift lever is in any position other than R, a sensor on the front or rear bumper may be dirty. Clean the sensors and their surrounding area on the bumpers.

Initialization may not have been performed after a battery terminal was disconnected and reconnected. Initialize the system.

If this message continues to be displayed even after initialization, have the vehicle inspected by your Lexus dealer.

The Parking Support Brake can be enabled/disabled on the multi-information display. All of the Parking Support Brake functions (static objects and rear-crossing vehicles) are enabled/disabled simultaneously.

To enable/disable using the meter control switches:

1. Press the left or right arrow to select the settings icon.

2. Press the up or down arrow to select the PKSB icon, and then press the center button.

When the Parking Support Brake is disabled, the PKSB OFF indicator illuminates on the multi-information display. If the system is disabled, it will remain off even if the engine switch is turned to IGNITION ON mode after the engine switch has been turned off.

To re-enable the system when it was disabled, select the PKSB icon on the multi-information display, select the PKSB icon again and turn it on.

If the engine output restriction control or brake control operates, a buzzer will sound and a message will be displayed on the Center Display and multi-information display to alert the driver.

Engine output restriction control is operating (acceleration restriction)

• Multi-information display: “Object Detected Acceleration Reduced”

• PKSB OFF indicator: Not illuminated

• Buzzer: Does not sound

Engine output restriction control is operating (output restricted as much as possible)

• Center Display (if equipped): “BRAKE!”

• Multi-information display: “BRAKE!”

• PKSB OFF indicator: Not illuminated

• Buzzer: Short beep

Brake control is operating

• Center Display (if equipped): “BRAKE!”

• Multi-information display: “BRAKE!”

• PKSB OFF indicator: Not illuminated

• Buzzer: Short beep

Vehicle stopped by system operation

• Center Display (if equipped): “Press Brake Pedal”

• Multi-information display: “Switch to Brake” (If the accelerator pedal is not depressed, “Press Brake Pedal” will be displayed.)

• PKSB OFF indicator: Illuminated

• Buzzer: Short beep

If the vehicle is stopped due to the operation of the Parking Support Brake, the system will be disabled and the PKSB OFF indicator will illuminate. If the operation was unnecessary, brake control can be canceled by depressing the brake pedal or waiting for approximately 2 seconds for it to automatically be canceled. Then, the vehicle can be operated by depressing the accelerator pedal.

To re-enable the Parking Support Brake when it has been disabled due to system operation, perform any of the following operations. At this time, the PKSB OFF indicator will turn off.

• Turn the PKSB (Parking Support Brake) on.

• The shift lever is in P.

• Drive with no operation targets in the traveling direction of the vehicle.

• Change the traveling direction of the vehicle.

• A sensor may be covered with ice, snow, dirt, etc. Remove the ice, snow, dirt, etc., from the sensor to return the system to normal.

• If this message is shown even after removing dirt from the sensor, or shown when the sensor was not dirty to begin with, have the vehicle inspected by your Lexus dealer.

• A sensor may be frozen. Once the ice melts, the system will return to normal.

• Water may be continuously flowing over the sensor surface, such as in a heavy rain. When the system determines that it is normal, the system will return to normal.

The system needs to be initialized. To initialize the system, drive the vehicle straight ahead for 5 seconds or more at a speed of approximately 22 mph (35 km/h) or more. Additionally, for vehicles with the Parking Support Brake function, turn the steering wheel fully to the left and right with the vehicle stopped.

If the sensors detect a static object, such as a wall, in the traveling direction of the vehicle and the system determines that a collision may occur due to the vehicle suddenly moving forward (due to an accidental accelerator pedal operation, moving in an unintended direction due to the wrong shift lever position, or while parking or traveling at low speeds), the system will operate to lessen the impact with the detected static object and reduce the resulting damage.

Examples of function operation include:

• When traveling at a low speed and the brake pedal is not depressed, or is depressed late.

• When the accelerator pedal is depressed excessively.

• When the vehicle moves in the unintended direction due to the wrong shift lever position.

Observe the following precautions regarding the sensors. Failure to do so may cause a sensor to not operate properly, and may cause an accident.

• Do not modify, disassemble or paint the sensors.

• Do not replace a sensor with a part other than a genuine part.

• Do not subject a sensor or its surrounding area to a strong impact.

• Do not damage the sensors, and always keep them clean.

In the following situations, disable the Parking Support Brake as the system may operate even though there is no possibility of a collision:

• When inspecting the vehicle using a chassis roller, chassis dynamo or free roller

• When loading the vehicle onto a boat, truck or other transport vessel

• If the suspension has been modified or tires of a size other than specified are installed

• If the front of the vehicle is raised or lowered due to the carried load

• When equipment that may obstruct a sensor is installed, such as a towing eyelet, bumper protector, bicycle carrier, or snow plow

• When using an automatic car wash

The function will operate when the PKSB OFF indicator is not illuminated or flashing and all of the following conditions are met:

• Engine output restriction control:

• The Parking Support Brake is enabled.

• The vehicle speed is 9 mph (15 km/h) or less.

• There is a static object in the traveling direction of the vehicle and 6 to 13 ft. (2 to 4 m) away.

• The system determines that a stronger-than-normal brake operation is necessary to avoid a collision.

• Brake control:

• Engine output restriction control is operating.

• The system determines that an immediate brake operation is necessary to avoid a collision.

The function will stop operating if any of the following conditions are met:

• Engine output restriction control:

• The Parking Support Brake is disabled.

• The system determines that the collision has become avoidable with normal brake operation.

• The static object is no longer 6 to 13 ft. (2 to 4 m) away from the vehicle or in the traveling direction of the vehicle.

• Brake control:

• The Parking Support Brake is disabled.

• Approximately 2 seconds have elapsed since the vehicle was stopped by brake control.

• The brake pedal is depressed after the vehicle is stopped by brake control.

• The static object is no longer 6 to 13 ft. (2 to 4 m) away from the vehicle or in the traveling direction of the vehicle.

The sensors may not be able to detect certain objects, such as the following:

• Pedestrian

• Cotton cloth, snow, and other materials that are poor reflectors of ultrasonic waves

• Objects which are not perpendicular to the ground, are not perpendicular to the traveling direction of the vehicle, are uneven or are waving

• Low objects

• Thin objects such as wires, fences, ropes and signposts

• Objects that are extremely close to the bumper

• Sharply-angled objects

• When driving on a metal cover (grating)

• When driving on a steep slope

• If a sensor is hit by a large amount of water, such as when driving on a flooded road

• When strong winds are blowing

• When other ultrasonic wave sources (vehicle horns, other sonars) are near the vehicle

• If a sticker or an electronic component is installed near a sensor

In some situations, this function may not operate properly. These include:

• Weather: When a sensor or the area around it is extremely hot or cold; if a sensor is covered with ice, snow, dirt; in heavy rain, fog, or a sandstorm; when the sensor is frozen.

• Vehicle surroundings: When an undetected object is between the vehicle and a detected object; if an object cuts in front of the vehicle; when approaching a tall or curved curb; on an extremely bumpy road, incline, gravel, or grass; if objects draw too close to the sensor.

• Other ultrasonic wave sources: When vehicle horns, other vehicle detectors, motorcycle engines, air brakes of large vehicles, or other ultrasonic devices are near.

• Changes in the vehicle posture: If the vehicle is significantly tilted; if the front of the vehicle is raised or lowered due to a carried load; if the orientation of a sensor has been changed due to a collision or other impact.

• Equipment/Modifications: When equipment that may obstruct a sensor is installed (e.g., bumper protector, bicycle carrier); if the suspension has been modified or non-specified tires are installed; if a sensor has been painted or covered with a sticker.

If a rear radar sensor detects a vehicle approaching from the right or left at the rear of the vehicle and the system determines that the possibility of a collision is high, this function will perform brake control to reduce the likelihood of an impact with the approaching vehicle. This function will operate in situations such as when reversing while a vehicle is approaching and the brake pedal is not depressed, or is depressed late.

• Install tire chains following the instructions provided with the tire chains.

NOTICE: The tire pressure warning valves and transmitters may not function correctly when tire chains are fitted.

This vehicle belongs to the utility vehicle class, which has higher ground clearance and a higher center of gravity than ordinary passenger cars. This makes it more likely to roll over.

WARNING: Utility vehicle precautions

• In a rollover crash, an unbelted person is significantly more likely to die than a person wearing a seat belt. Therefore, the driver and all passengers should always fasten their seat belts.

• Avoid sharp turns or abrupt maneuvers, if at all possible.

• Loading cargo on the roof luggage carrier will make the center of gravity higher. Avoid high speeds, sudden starts, sharp turns, sudden braking or abrupt maneuvers.

• Always slow down in gusty crosswinds. Your vehicle is more sensitive to side winds than an ordinary passenger car.

• Do not drive horizontally across steep slopes. Driving straight up or straight down is preferred.

Your vehicle is not designed to be driven off-road. However, if it cannot be avoided, observe the following:

• Drive your vehicle only in areas where off-road vehicles are permitted to travel.

• Respect private property. Get owner’s permission before entering.

2. Holding a rag under the end, pull the dipstick out.

3. Wipe the dipstick clean.

4. Reinsert the dipstick fully.

5. Holding a rag under the end, pull the dipstick out and check the oil level. The level should be between the ‘Low’ and ‘Normal’ marks.

6. Wipe the dipstick and reinsert it fully.

Adding engine oil

If the oil level is below or near the low level mark, add engine oil of the same type as that already in the engine.

1. Make sure to check the oil type and prepare a clean funnel.

2. Remove the oil filler cap by turning it counterclockwise.

3. Add engine oil slowly, checking the dipstick periodically.

4. Install the oil filler cap by turning it clockwise.

Precautions when replacing engine oil:

• Be careful not to spill engine oil on the vehicle components.

• Avoid overfilling, or the engine could be damaged.

• Check the oil level on the dipstick every time you refill the vehicle.

• Be sure the engine oil filler cap is properly tightened.

A certain amount of engine oil will be consumed while driving. In the following situations, oil consumption may increase, and engine oil may need to be refilled in between oil maintenance intervals:

• When the engine is new, for example directly after purchasing the vehicle or after replacing the engine.

• If low quality oil or oil of an inappropriate viscosity is used.

• When driving at high engine speeds or with a heavy load, when towing, or when driving while accelerating or decelerating frequently.

• When leaving the engine idling for a long time, or when driving frequently through heavy traffic.

After changing the engine oil, the engine oil maintenance data should be reset. Perform the following procedures:

The coolant level is satisfactory if it is between the “FULL” and “LOW” lines on the reservoir when the engine is cold. If the level is on or below the “LOW” line, add coolant up to the “FULL” line.

Coolant Selection: Only use “Toyota Super Long Life Coolant” or a similar high quality ethylene glycol based non-silicate, non-amine, non-nitrite, and non-borate coolant with long-life hybrid organic acid technology.

WARNING: When the engine is hot, do not remove the engine coolant reservoir cap and radiator cap. The cooling system may be under pressure and may spray hot coolant if the cap is removed, causing serious injuries, such as burns.

NOTICE:

• When adding coolant, use the correct mixture of water and antifreeze. Do not use plain water or straight antifreeze.

• If you spill coolant, be sure to wash it off with water to prevent it from damaging parts or paint.

Visually check the radiator, hoses, engine coolant reservoir cap, drain cock and water pump. If you cannot find a leak, have your Lexus dealer test the cap and check for leaks in the cooling system.

Check the radiator and condenser and clear away any foreign objects. If either of these parts is extremely dirty or you are not sure of their condition, have your vehicle inspected by your Lexus dealer.

WARNING: When the engine is hot, do not touch the radiator or condenser as they may be hot and cause serious injuries, such as burns.

Checking fluid level:

The brake fluid level should be between the “MAX” and “MIN” lines on the tank.

Adding fluid:

Make sure to check the fluid type and prepare a clean funnel. Use only newly opened FMVSS No.116 DOT 3 or SAE J1703 brake fluid.

NOTICE: It is normal for the brake fluid level to go down slightly as the brake pads wear out. If the reservoir needs frequent refilling, there may be a serious problem.

WARNING:

• Take care as brake fluid can harm your hands and eyes and damage painted surfaces. If fluid gets on your hands or in your eyes, flush the affected area with clean water immediately. If you still experience discomfort, see a doctor.

• Brake fluid can absorb moisture from the air. Excess moisture can cause a dangerous loss of braking efficiency.

Battery exterior:

Make sure that the battery terminals are not corroded and that there are no loose connections, cracks, or loose clamps.

Before recharging:

When recharging, the battery produces hydrogen gas which is flammable and explosive. Therefore, observe the following precautions:

• If recharging with the battery installed on the vehicle, be sure to disconnect the ground cable.

• Make sure the power switch on the charger is off when connecting and disconnecting the charger cables to the battery.

After recharging/reconnecting the battery:

The engine may not start. Follow the procedure below to initialize the system:

1. Shift the shift lever to P.

2. Open and close any of the doors.

3. Restart the engine.

• Unlocking the doors using the smart access system may not be possible immediately. If this happens, use the wireless remote control or mechanical key.

• You may need to start the engine with the engine switch in ACCESSORY mode first. The engine will operate normally from the second attempt.

• The vehicle will return the engine switch mode to the status it was in before the battery was disconnected. Turn off the power before disconnecting the battery.

If the system will not start after multiple attempts, contact your Lexus dealer.

Chemicals in the battery: Batteries contain poisonous and corrosive sulfuric acid and may produce hydrogen gas which is flammable and explosive. To reduce the risk of death or serious injury, take the following precautions:

• Do not cause sparks by touching the battery terminals with tools.

• Do not smoke or light a match near the battery.

• Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothes.

• Never inhale or swallow electrolyte.

• Wear protective safety glasses when working near the battery.

• Keep children away from the battery.

Where to safely charge the battery: Always charge the battery in an open area. Do not charge the battery in a garage or closed room where there is insufficient ventilation.

How to recharge the battery: Only perform a slow charge (5 A or less). The battery may explode if charged at a quicker rate.

Emergency measures regarding electrolyte:

• If electrolyte gets in your eyes: Flush your eyes with clean water for at least 15 minutes and get immediate medical attention.

• If electrolyte gets on your skin: Wash the affected area thoroughly. If you feel pain or burning, get medical attention immediately.

• If electrolyte gets on your clothes: It can soak through. Immediately take off the clothing and follow the procedure for skin contact.

• If you accidentally swallow electrolyte: Drink a large quantity of water or milk. Get emergency medical attention immediately.

When there is insufficient battery fluid: Do not use if there is insufficient fluid in the battery. There is a possible danger that the battery may explode.

If any washer does not work or the warning message appears on the multi-information display, the washer tank may be empty. Add washer fluid.

WARNING: Do not add washer fluid when the engine is hot or running as washer fluid contains alcohol and may catch fire if spilled on the engine, etc.

NOTICE:

• Do not use any fluid other than washer fluid. Do not use soapy water or engine antifreeze.

• Dilute washer fluid with water as necessary. Refer to the freezing temperatures listed on the label of the washer fluid bottle.

Check if the treadwear indicators are showing on the tires. These are shown by a “TWI” or triangle mark on the sidewall. If the indicators are showing, the tires need to be replaced. Also check the tires for uneven wear, such as excessive wear on one side of the tread.

Check the spare tire condition and pressure if not rotated.

Tires should be replaced if:

• The treadwear indicators are showing on a tire.

• You have tire damage such as cuts, splits, cracks deep enough to expose the fabric, and bulges indicating internal damage.

• A tire goes flat repeatedly or cannot be properly repaired due to the size or location of a cut or other damage.

If you are not sure, consult with your Lexus dealer. Any tire over 6 years old must be checked by a qualified technician even if damage is not obvious.

An improperly stored spare tire may cause damage to the wire cable that holds it. Check that the spare tire is stored properly on a daily basis.

If the stored spare tire appears to be slanted or rattles while driving, it may not be properly stored. Perform the following procedure:

1. Lower the spare tire to the ground and make sure that the hoist assembly is perpendicular to the wheel opening.

2. Raise the tire slowly and steadily until a click is heard and the jack handle skips.

If the spare tire cannot be lowered, the wire cable may be severed. Have the vehicle inspected at your Lexus dealer.

To equalize tire wear and extend tire life, Lexus recommends that tire rotation is carried out at the same interval as tire inspection. Rotate the tires in the order shown in your vehicle’s manual. Do not fail to initialize the tire pressure warning system after tire rotation.

The tire pressure warning system may not operate properly in the following cases:

• If non-genuine Lexus wheels are used.

• A tire has been replaced with a non-OE (Original Equipment) tire or a tire of a non-specified size.

• Tire chains, etc. are equipped.

• If a window tint that affects radio wave signals is installed.

• If there is a lot of snow or ice on the vehicle, particularly around the wheels.

• If the tire inflation pressure is extremely higher than the specified level.

• If a wheel without the tire pressure warning valve and transmitter is used.

• If the ID code on the valves and transmitters is not registered in the computer.

Performance may also be affected near facilities that generate strong radio waves (TV tower, power plant, airport, etc.) or when using a portable radio or cellular phone.

When replacing tires or wheels, tire pressure warning valves and transmitters must also be installed. When new valves and transmitters are installed, new ID codes must be registered in the tire pressure warning computer and the system must be initialized. Have tire pressure warning valve and transmitter ID codes registered by your Lexus dealer.

If the ID code is not registered, the system will not work properly. After about 20 minutes of driving, the tire pressure warning light will blink for 1 minute and stay on to indicate a system malfunction.

The tire pressure warning system must be initialized when the tire inflation pressure is changed (e.g., for different traveling speeds or tire sizes) or when rotating tires. Initialization sets the current tire pressure as the new benchmark.

How to initialize:

1. Park the vehicle in a safe place and turn the engine switch off. Initialization cannot be performed while the vehicle is moving.

2. Adjust the tire inflation pressure to the specified cold tire inflation pressure level.

3. Turn the engine switch to IGNITION ON mode.

4. Select the settings icon on the multi-information display.

5. Press the up or down arrow of the meter control switch, select the “Vehicle Settings” screen and then press the center button.

6. Press the up or down arrow, select the “TPMS” screen and then press and hold the center button until the tire pressure warning light blinks slowly 3 times.

7. Drive the vehicle at approximately 25 mph (40 km/h) or more for 10 to 30 minutes until the inflation pressure of each tire is displayed on the multi-information display.

WARNING: Do not initialize the system without first adjusting the tire inflation pressure to the specified level. Otherwise, the warning light may not come on when pressure is low, or it may come on when pressure is normal.

If initialization is not complete after driving for approximately 10 to 30 minutes, continue driving for a while. If the inflation pressure is still not displayed after about 1 hour, perform the following procedure:

Park the vehicle in a safe place for approximately 20 minutes. Then drive straight (with occasional turns) at approximately 25 mph (40 km/h) or more for another 10 to 30 minutes.

If the inflation pressure of each tire is still not displayed, have the vehicle inspected by your Lexus dealer.

The recommended cold tire inflation pressure and tire size are displayed on the tire and loading information label.

Inspection and adjustment procedure:

1. Remove the tire valve cap.

2. Press the tip of the tire pressure gauge onto the tire valve.

3. Read the pressure using the gauge gradations.

4. If the pressure is not at the recommended level, adjust it. If you add too much air, press the center of the valve to deflate.

5. After adjustment, apply soapy water to the valve to check for leakage.

6. Put the tire valve cap back on.

Instructions for checking tire inflation pressure:

• Check only when the tires are cold. If your vehicle has been parked for at least 3 hours or not driven for more than 1 mile (1.5 km), you will get an accurate reading.

• Always use a tire pressure gauge. It is difficult to judge tire inflation by appearance alone.

• Do not reduce tire pressure after driving, as it is normal for it to be higher due to heat.

Driving with incorrect tire inflation pressure may result in the following:

• Reduced fuel economy

• Reduced driving comfort and poor handling

• Reduced tire life due to wear

• Reduced safety

• Damage to the drive train

If a tire needs frequent inflating, have it checked by your Lexus dealer.

If a wheel is bent, cracked or heavily corroded, it should be replaced. Otherwise, the tire may separate from the wheel or cause a loss of handling control.

Wheel Selection: When replacing wheels, ensure they are equivalent to the original ones in load capacity, diameter, rim width, and inset (offset). Lexus does not recommend using wheels of different sizes or types, used wheels, or bent wheels that have been straightened.

When replacing wheels: Your vehicle’s wheels are equipped with tire pressure warning valves and transmitters. Whenever wheels are replaced, these must also be installed.

WARNING:

• Do not use wheels that are a different size from those recommended in the Owner’s Manual, as this may result in a loss of handling control.

• Never use an inner tube in a leaking wheel designed for a tubeless tire.

• Do not use cracked or deformed wheels.

Removing the filter:

1. Turn the engine switch off.

2. Open the glove box. Slide off the damper.

DOT quality grades

All passenger vehicle tires must conform 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 conditions 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.

Traction AA, A, B, C

The traction grades, from highest to lowest, are AA, A, B and C, and they represent the tire’s ability to stop on wet pavement as measured under controlled conditions on specified government test surfaces of asphalt and concrete. A tire marked C may have poor traction performance. Warning: The traction grade assigned to this tire is based on braking (straight ahead) traction tests and does not include cornering (turning) traction.

Temperature A, B, C

The temperature grades are A (the highest), B, and C, representing the tire’s resistance to the generation of heat and its ability to dissipate heat when tested under controlled conditions on a specified indoor laboratory test wheel. Sustained high temperature can cause the material of the tire to degenerate and reduce tire life, and excessive temperature can lead to sudden tire failure. Grade C corresponds to a level of performance which all passenger car tires must meet under the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 109. Grades B and A represent higher levels of performance on the laboratory test wheel than the minimum required by law. Warning: The temperature grades of a tire assume that it is properly inflated and not overloaded. Excessive speed, underinflation, or excessive loading, either separately or in combination, can cause heat buildup and possible tire failure.
