IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY

IF THE RETRACTABLE HARDTOP
DOES NOT CLOSE
If the retractable hardtop does not close, check to see that the
trunk lid and trunk lid opener main switch are set properly in
accordance with the conditions for retractable hardtop
activation shown on page 81. Although these requirements
are met, if the retractable hardtop does not close, close it
manually following the procedure below.
Some procedures require 2 skilled people having strength. If
they are not confident in strength and if there is no other
person, besides you, to perform the work, have your Lexus
inspected at Lexus dealer as soon as possible. In other
procedures, you may be injured by performing them with bare
hands. In that case, wear gloves or use a piece of rag for
protection.
CAUTION
Stop your vehicle in a safe and level place.
Apply the parking brake and put the selector lever in
the “P” position.
Do not perform the work if anyone is in the vehicle.
Do not perform the work where the wind is blowing
harder.
Leave the ignition switch off with the retractable
hardtop partially closed.
NOTICE
The radio antenna should be lowered to avoid damage
during this procedure.
INFORMATION
Some procedures require 2 people. They should stand
on each side of the rear of the vehicle and work in
unison.
