as in heavy traffic.

When the battery is removed or dis-

charged

Information stored in the ECU is cleared.

When the battery is depleted, have the

vehicle inspected at your Lexus dealer.

Some systems may require initialization.

(

P.488)

When removing the battery terminals

When the battery terminals are removed,

the information stored in the ECU is

cleared. Before removing the battery termi-

nals, contact your Lexus dealer.

Charging the battery

The electricity stored in the battery will dis-

charge gradually even when the vehicle is

not in use, due to natural discharge and the

draining effects of certain electrical appli-

ances. If the vehicle is left for a long time,

the battery may discharge, and the engine

may be unable to start. (The battery

recharges automatically during driving.)

When recharging or replacing the bat-

tery

In some cases, it may not be possible to

unlock the doors using the smart access

system with push-button start when the

battery is discharged. Use the wireless

remote control or the mechanical key to

lock or unlock the doors.

The engine may not start on the first

attempt after the battery has recharged

but will start normally after the second

attempt. This is not a malfunction.

The engine switch mode is memorized by

the vehicle. When the battery is recon-

nected, the system will return to the

mode it was in before the battery was dis-

charged. Before disconnecting the bat-

tery, turn the engine switch off.

If you are unsure what mode the engine

switch was in before the battery dis-

charged, be especially careful when

reconnecting the battery.

If the battery discharges, it may not be

possible to shift the shift position to other

positions. In this case, the vehicle cannnot

be towed without lifting both rear wheels

because the rear wheels will be locked.

When replacing the battery

Use a Central Degassing type battery

(European Regulations).

Use a battery with the same case size as

the previous battery and an equivalent

20 hour rate capacity (20HR) or greater.

• If the sizes differ, the battery cannot be

properly secured.

• If the 20 hour rate capacity is low, even if

the time period where the vehicle is not

used is a short time, the battery may dis-

charge and the engine may not be able to

start.

Use a battery with a handle. If a battery

without a handle is used, removal is more

difficult.

After replacing, firmly attach the follow-

ing items to the exhaust hole of the bat-

tery.

• Use the exhaust hose that was attached

to the battery before replacing and con-

firm that it is firmly connected to the hole

section of the vehicle.

• Use the exhaust hole plug included with

the battery replaced or the one installed

on the battery prior to the replacement.

(Depending on the battery to be

replaced, the exhaust hole may be

plugged.)

WARNING

When removing the battery terminals

Always remove the negative (-) terminal

first. If the positive (+) terminal contacts

any metal in the surrounding area when

the positive (+) terminal is removed, a

spark may occur, leading to a fire in addi-

tion to electrical shocks and death or

serious injury.

Avoiding battery fires or explosions

Observe the following precautions to

prevent accidentally igniting the flamma-

ble gas that may be emitted from the bat-

tery:

Make sure each jumper cable is con-

nected to the correct terminal and that

it is not unintentionally in contact with

any other than the intended terminal.

Do not allow the other end of the

jumper cable connected to the “+” ter-

minal to come into contact with any

other parts or metal surfaces in the

area, such as brackets or unpainted

metal.

Do not allow the + and - clamps of the

jumper cables to come into contact

with each other.

Do not smoke, use matches, cigarette

lighters or allow open flame near the

battery.

Battery precautions

The battery contains poisonous and cor-

rosive acidic electrolyte, while related

parts contain lead and lead compounds.

Observe the following precautions when

handling the battery:

When working with the battery, always

wear safety glasses and take care not

to allow any battery fluids (acid) to

come into contact with skin, clothing

or the vehicle body.

Do not lean over the battery.

In the event that battery fluid comes

into contact with the skin or eyes,

immediately wash the affected area

with water and seek medical attention.

Place a wet sponge or cloth over the

affected area until medical attention

can be received.

Always wash your hands after handling

the battery support, terminals, and

other battery-related parts.

Do not allow children near the battery.

After recharging the battery

Have the battery inspected at your Lexus

dealer as soon as possible.

If the battery is deteriorating, continued

use may cause the battery to emit a mal-

odorous gas, which may be detrimental

to the health of passengers.

When replacing the battery

When the vent plug and indicator are

close to the hold down clamp, the bat-

tery fluid (sulfuric acid) may leak.

For information regarding battery

replacement, contact your Lexus

dealer.

After replacing, securely attach the

exhaust hose and exhaust hole plug to

the exhaust hole of the replaced bat-

tery. If not properly installed, gases

(hydrogen) may leak into the vehicle

interior, and there is the possible dan-

ger of the gas igniting and exploding.

NOTICE

When handling jumper cables

When connecting the jumper cables,

ensure that they do not become entan-

gled in the cooling fan or engine drive

belt.

To prevent damaging the vehicle

The exclusive jump starting terminal is to

be used when charging the battery from

another vehicle in an emergency. It can-

not be used to jump start another vehicle.

: The engine oil capacity is a reference

quantity to be used when changing the
engine oil. Warm up and turn off the
engine, wait more than 5 minutes, and
check the oil level on the dipstick.

Engine oil selection

“Toyota Genuine Motor Oil” is used in
your Lexus vehicle. Use Lexus
approved “Toyota Genuine Motor Oil”
or equivalent to satisfy the following
grade and viscosity.
Oil grade: ILSAC GF-6A multigrade
engine oil
Recommended viscosity: SAE 0W-20
SAE 0W-20 is the best choice for
good fuel economy and good starting
in cold weather.
If SAE 0W-20 is not available, SAE
5W-20 oil may be used. However, it
must be replaced with SAE 0W-20 at

the next oil change.
Recommended viscosity (SAE):

Outside temperature

Oil viscosity (0W-20 is explained here
as an example):
• The 0W in 0W-20 indicates the

characteristic of the oil which allows
cold startability. Oils with a lower
value before the W allow for easier
starting of the engine in cold
weather.

• The 20 in 0W-20 indicates the vis-

cosity characteristic of the oil when
the oil is at high temperature. An oil
with a higher viscosity (one with a
higher value) may be better suited if
the vehicle is operated at high
speeds, or under extreme load con-
ditions.
