Fuel information
You must only use unleaded gasoline in your vehicle.
Recommended to use premium unleaded gasoline with octane rating of 91 (Re-
search OctaneNumber of 96) or higher for optimum engine performance. You
may use unleaded gasoline with octane rating as low as 87 (Research Octane
Number of 91). In this case, engine performance may be decreased.
Use of octane rating unleaded gasoline with an octane rating lower than 87 may
result in engine knocking. Persistent knocking can lead to engine damage.
At minimum, the gasoline you use should meet the specifications of ASTM D4814
in the U.S.A.
INFORMATION
■
Gasoline quality
In very few cases, driveability problems may be caused by the brand of gasoline you are
using. If driveability problems persist, try changing the brand of gasoline. If this does not
correct the problem, consult your Lexus dealer.
■
Recommendation of the use of gasoline containing detergent additives
●
Lexus recommends the use of gasoline that contains detergent additives to avoid the
build-up of engine deposits.
●
All gasoline sold in the U.S.A. contains minimum detergent additives to clean and/or
keep clean intake systems, per EPA's lowest additives concentration program.
●
Lexus strongly recommends the use of Top Tier Detergent Gasoline. For more infor-
mation on Top Tier Detergent Gasoline and a list of marketers, please go to the official
website www.toptiergas.com.
■
Recommendation of the use of low emissions gasoline
Gasolines containing oxygenates such as ethers and ethanol, as well as reformulated
gasolines, are available in some cities. These fuels are typically acceptable for use,
providing they meet other fuel requirements.
Lexus recommends these fuels, since the formulations allow for reduced vehicle emis-
sions.
10-1. Specifications
724
■
Non-recommendation of the use of blended gasoline
●
Use only gasoline containing up to 15% ethanol.
DO NOT use any flex-fuel or gasoline that could
contain more than 15% ethanol, including from
any pump labeled E30 (30% ethanol
), E50
(50% ethanol
), E85 (85% ethanol
)
(which are only some examples of fuel containing
more than 15% ethanol).
●
If you use gasohol in your vehicle, be sure that it has an octane rating no lower than 87.
●
Lexus does not recommend the use of gasoline containing methanol.
■
Non-recommendation of the use of gasoline containing MMT
Some gasoline contains an octane enhancing additive called MMT (Methylcyclopenta-
dienyl Manganese Tricarbonyl).
Lexus does not recommend the use of gasoline that contains MMT. If fuel containing
MMT is used, your emission control system may be adversely affected.
The malfunction indicator lamp on the instrument cluster may come on. If this happens,
contact your Lexus dealer for service.
■
If your engine knocks
●
Consult your Lexus dealer.
●
You may occasionally notice light knocking for a short time while accelerating or
driving uphill. This is normal and there is no need for concern.
NOTICE
■
Notice on fuel quality
●
Do not use improper fuels. If improper fuels are used, the engine will be damaged.
●
Do not use leaded gasoline.
Leaded gasoline can cause damage to your vehicle's three-way catalytic converters
causing the emission control system to malfunction.
●
Do not use gasohol other than the type previously stated.
Other gasohol may cause fuel system damage or vehicle performance problems.
●
Using unleaded gasoline with an octane number or rating lower than the level previ-
ously stated will cause persistent heavy knocking.
At worst, this will lead to engine damage.
■
Fuel-related poor driveability
If poor driveability (poor hot starting, vaporization, engine knocking, etc.) is encountered
after using a different type of fuel, discontinue the use of that type of fuel.

Uniform Tire Quality Grading
This information has been prepared in accordance with regulations issued by
the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration of the U.S. Department of
Transportation.
It provides the purchasers and/or prospective purchasers of Lexus vehicles with
information on uniform tire quality grading.
Your Lexus dealer will help answer any questions you may have as you read this
information.
■
DOT quality grades
All passenger vehicle tires must conform to Federal Safety Requirements in addi-
tion 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
10-1. Specifications
729
10
Vehicle specifications
■
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,
however, and may depart significantly from the norm due to variations in driving
habits, service practices and differences in road characteristics and climate.
■
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 for this tire are established for a tire that is
properly inflated and not overloaded.
Excessive speed, underinflation, or excessive loading, either separately or in com-
bination, can cause heat buildup and possible tire failure.
