Before programming HomeLink

 During programming, it is possible

that garage doors, gates, or other
devices may operate. For this rea-
son, make sure that people and
objects are clear of the garage door
or other devices to prevent injury or
other potential harm.

 It is recommended that a new bat-

tery be placed in the remote control

harm.

■

Conforming to federal safety stan-

dards

Do not use the HomeLink

compatible

transceiver with any garage door opener

or device that lacks safety stop and

reverse features as required by federal

safety standards.
This includes any garage door that can-

not detect an interfering object. A door

or device without these features

increases the risk of death or serious

injury.

Deviation

The direction display deviates from the
true direction determined by the
earth’s magnetic field. The amount of
deviation varies according to the geo-
graphic position of the vehicle.

If you cross over a map boundary shown in
illustration, the compass will deviate.
To obtain higher precision or perfect cali-
bration, refer to the following.

■

Deviation calibration

Stop the vehicle.

Press and hold the switch for 6 sec-
onds.

A number (1 to 15) appears on the com-

pass display.

Press the switch and, referring to
the map above, select the number
of the zone where you are.

If the direction is displayed several seconds

after adjustment, the calibration is com-

plete.

is safe to drive in a circle.

Press and hold the switch for 9 sec-
onds.

 Working from top to bottom, liber-

ally apply water to the vehicle body,
wheel wells and underside of the
vehicle to remove any dirt and dust.

 Wash the vehicle body using a

sponge or soft cloth, such as a
chamois.

 For hard-to-remove marks, use car

wash soap and rinse thoroughly with
water.

 Wipe away any water.
 Wax the vehicle when the water-

proof coating deteriorates.

If water does not bead on a clean surface,
apply wax when the vehicle body is cool.

■

Black stainless steel window moldings (F

SPORT models)

The stainless steel window moldings are

made of black oxide coated stainless steel.
When cleaning the vehicle, do not scrub the

moldings with an abrasive cleaner as their

finish may be damaged or the color may

change.

■

Self-restoring coat

The vehicle body has a self-restoring coat-

ing that is resistant to small surface

scratches caused in a car wash etc.

●

The coating lasts for 5 to 8 years from

when the vehicle is delivered from the

plant.

●

The restoration time differs depending on

the depth of the scratch and outside tem-

perature.

The restoration time may become shorter

when the coating is warmed by applying

warm water.

●

Deep scratches caused by keys, coins,

etc. cannot be restored.

●

Do not use wax that contains abrasives.

■

Automatic car washes

●

Fold the mirrors before washing the vehi-

cle. Start washing from the front of the

vehicle. Make sure to extend the mirrors

before driving.

●

Brushes used in automatic car washes

may scratch the vehicle body and dam-

age the paint.

■

High pressure car washes

As water may enter the cabin, do not bring

the nozzle tip near the gaps around the

doors or perimeter of the windows, or spray

these areas continuously.

■

When using a car wash

If the door handle becomes wet while the

electronic key is within the effective range,

the door may lock and unlock repeatedly. In

that case, follow the following correction

procedures to wash the vehicle:

●

Place the key in a position 6 ft. (2 m) or

more separate from the vehicle while the

vehicle is being washed. (Take care to

ensure that the key is not stolen.)

●

Set the electronic key to battery-saving

mode to disable the smart access system

with push-button start. (

ately after use.

●

To protect the paint from damage, make

sure to observe the following precau-

tions.

• Do not use acidic, alkaline or abrasive

detergent

• Do not use hard brushes

• Do not use detergent on the wheels when

they are hot, such as after driving or park-

ing in hot weather

■

Brake caliper coating (F SPORT mod-

els)

●

When using detergent, use neutral deter-

gent. Do not use hard brushes or abra-

sive cleaners, as they will damage the

paint.

●

Do not use detergent on the brake cali-

pers when they are hot.

●

Wash detergent off immediately after

use.

■

Bumpers

Do not scrub with abrasive cleaners.

■

Side windows water-repellent coating

(if equipped)

●

The following precautions can extend the

effectiveness of the water-repellent coat-

ing.

• Remove any dirt, etc. from the side win-

dows regularly.

• Do not allow dirt and dust to accumulate

on the windows for a long period.

Clean the windows with a soft, damp

cloth as soon as possible.

• Do not use wax or glass cleaners that

contain abrasives when cleaning the win-

dows.

• Do not use any metallic objects to

remove condensation build up.

●

When the water-repellent performance

has become insufficient, the coating can

be repaired. Contact your Lexus dealer.

WARNING

■

When washing the vehicle

Do not apply water to the inside of the

engine compartment. Doing so may

cause the electrical components, etc. to

catch fire.

■

When cleaning the windshield (vehi-

cles with rain-sensing windshield wip-

ers)

Set the wipers to the intermittent wind-

shield wipers. (

P.141)

If AUTO mode is selected, the wipers

may operate unexpectedly in the follow-

ing situations, and may result in hands

being caught or other serious injuries

and cause damage to the wiper blades.

●

When the upper part of the windshield

where the raindrop sensor is located is

touched by hand

●

When a wet rag or similar is held close

to the raindrop sensor

●

If something bumps against the wind-

shield

●

If you directly touch the raindrop sen-

sor body or if something bumps into

the raindrop sensor

■

Precautions regarding the exhaust

pipes

As exhaust gases cause the exhaust

pipes to become quite hot, do not touch

the exhaust pipes while the engine is run-

ning or immediately after the engine is

turned off.
When washing the vehicle, be careful not

to touch the exhaust pipes until they have

cooled sufficiently, as touching hot

exhaust pipes can cause burns.

WARNING

■

Precaution regarding the rear

bumper with Blind Spot Monitor (if

equipped)

If the paint of the rear bumper is chipped

or scratched, the system may malfunc-

tion. If this occurs, consult your Lexus

dealer.

NOTICE

■

To prevent paint deterioration and

corrosion on the body and compo-

nents (aluminum wheels, etc.)

●

Wash the vehicle immediately in the

following cases:

• After driving near the sea coast

• After driving on salted roads

• If coal tar or tree sap is present on the

paint surface

• If dead insects, insect droppings or

bird droppings are present on the

paint surface

• After driving in an area contaminated

with soot, oily smoke, mine dust, iron

powder or chemical substances

• If the vehicle becomes heavily soiled

with dust or mud

• If liquids such as benzene and gasoline

are spilled on the paint surface

●

If the paint is chipped or scratched,

have it repaired immediately.

●

To prevent the wheels from corroding,

remove any dirt and store in a place

with low humidity when storing the

wheels.

■

Cleaning the exterior lights

●

Wash carefully. Do not use organic

substances or scrub with a hard brush.

This may damage the surfaces of the

lights.

●

Do not apply wax to the surfaces of the

lights.Wax may cause damage to the

lenses.

■

To prevent damage to the windshield

wiper arms

When lifting the wiper arms away from

the windshield, pull the driver side wiper

arm upward first, and repeat for the pas-

senger side. When returning the wipers

to their original position, do so from the

passenger side first.

■

When using an automatic car wash

(vehicles with rain-sensing windshield

wipers)

Set the wipers to the intermittent wind-

shield wipers. (

P.141)

If AUTO mode is selected, the wipers

may operate and the wiper blades may

be damaged.

■

When using a high pressure car wash

●

When washing the vehicle, do not

spray the camera or its surrounding

area directly with a high pressure

washer. Shock applied from high pres-

sure water may cause the device to not

operate normally.

●

Do not bring the nozzle tip close to

boots (rubber or resin manufactured

cover), connectors or the following

parts. The parts may be damaged if

they come into contact with high-pres-

sure water.

• Traction related parts

• Suspension parts

• Steering parts

• Brake parts

●

Keep the cleaning nozzle at least 11.9

in. (30 cm) away from the vehicle

body. Otherwise resin section, such as

moldings and bumpers, may be

deformed and damaged.

Also, do not continuously hold the nozzle

in the same place.
