footnotes & disclaimers
1. Ratings achieved using the required premium unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 91 or higher. If premium fuel is not used, performance will decrease. 2. Performance figures are for comparison only and were obtained with prototype
vehicles by professional drivers using special safety equipment and procedures. Do not attempt. 3. High-friction brakes are standard equipment for the front brakes only and require periodic inspection and measurement as outlined in the Warranty
and Services Guide. The pads and rotors are expected to experience greater wear than conventional brakes. Pad life may be less than 20,000 miles, and brake rotor life may be less than 50,000 miles depending on driving conditions. 4. Vehicle
Stability Control (VSC) and Vehicle Dynamics Integrated Management (VDIM) are electronic systems designed to help the driver maintain control under adverse conditions. They are not substitutes for safe driving practices. Factors including
speed, road conditions and driver steering input can all affect whether VSC and VDIM will be effective in preventing a loss of control. Please see your Owner’s Manual for further details. 5. Dynamic Radar Cruise Control is designed to assist the
driver and is not a substitute for safe and attentive driving practices. Please see your Owner’s Manual for important cautions and details. 6. The backup camera, available only with the Navigation System, does not provide a comprehensive view of
the rear area of the vehicle. You should also look around outside your vehicle and use your mirrors to confirm rearward clearance. Cold weather will limit effectiveness and view may become cloudy. 7. The Navigation System is designed to assist
in locating an address or point of interest. Discrepancies may be encountered between the system and your actual location. Road system changes may affect the accuracy of the information provided. Rely on your common sense to decide whether
to follow a specified route. Detailed coverage not available in every city or roadway. Periodic updates available at an additional cost. Please see your Navigation System Owner’s Manual and your Lexus dealer for further details. 8. The Lexus
Personalized Settings (LPS) Program is a one-time, complimentary offer for the first 12 months from the date the vehicle is sold. Please see your Lexus dealer for more information. 9. The SmartAccess system may interfere with some pacemakers or
cardiac defibrillators. If you have one of these medical devices, please talk to your doctor to see if you should deactivate this system. 10. The Bluetooth
®
technology phones listed on lexus.com have been tested for compatibility with Lexus vehicles.
Performance will vary based on phone software version, coverage and your wireless carrier. Phones are warranted by their manufacturer, not Lexus. 11. Mark Levinson is a registered trademark of Harman International Industries, Inc. 12. The Lexus
Tire Pressure Monitor System alerts the driver when tire pressure is critically low. For optimal tire wear and performance, tire pressure should be checked regularly with a gauge; do not rely solely on the monitor system. Please see your Owner’s
Manual for details. 13. The Pre-Collision System is designed to help reduce the crash speed and damage in certain frontal collisions only. It is not a collision-avoidance system and is not a substitute for safe and attentive driving. System effectiveness
depends on many factors, such as speed, driver input and road conditions. Please see your Owner’s Manual for further information. 14. Brake Assist is designed to help the driver take full advantage of the benefits of ABS. It is not a substitute for
safe driving practices. Braking effectiveness also depends on proper brake-system maintenance and tire and road conditions. 15. All the airbag (“AB”) systems are Supplemental Restraint Systems. All ABs (if installed) are designed to inflate only
under certain conditions and in certain types of severe collisions: frontal and knee ABs typically inflate in frontal collisions; side and side curtain ABs in side collisions; Roll-Sensing Curtain ABs at a severe tilt degree, roll or lateral G-force. In all other
accidents, the ABs will not inflate. To decrease the risk of injury from an inflating AB, always wear seatbelts, sit upright in the middle of the seat as far back as possible and do not lean against the door. Do not put objects in front of an AB or around
the seatback. Do not use a rearward-facing child seat in any front passenger seat. The force of an inflating AB may cause serious injury or death. Please see your Owner’s Manual for further information/warnings. 16. 17- or 18-in tires are expected
to experience greater tire wear than conventional tires. Tire life may be substantially less than 20,000 miles (17-in tires) or 15,000 miles (18-in tires), depending on driving conditions. 17. Continuous average power, all channels driven, at less than
0.1% THD; 20-20,000 Hz. 18. Run-flat tire technology is designed for limited emergency use only. If air pressure is lost, vehicle speed must remain below 55 mph; cornering, braking and accelerating must be done with extreme caution; and the
tire should be replaced within 100 miles. Please see your Lexus dealer for details. 19. An active Lexus Link
®

services require vehicle electrical system and wireless service to be available and operating for features to function properly. Lexus Link uses existing emergency service providers as well as wireless and satellite technologies. A one-year subscription
