NOTICE

Pop Up Hood precautions

Make sure to close the hood before driving, as the system may not operate
properly if the hood is not fully closed.

Make sure that all 4 tires are of the specified size and inflated to the specified
tire pressure (

P. 544). If tires of a different size are used, the system may
not operate properly.

If something has hit the area around the front bumper, the sensors may be
damaged even if the Pop Up Hood has not operated. Have the vehicle
inspected by any authorized Lexus dealer or repairer, or another duly quali-
fied and equipped professional.

Do not remove or repair the parts or wiring of the Pop Up Hood, as doing so
may cause accidental operation or prevent the system from operating prop-
erly. If repair or replacement is necessary, contact any authorized Lexus
dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional.

Do not remove such components as the front bumper, hood or suspension, or
replace them with non-genuine parts, as doing so may prevent the system
from operating properly.

Do not install anything to the front bumper or hood, as doing so may prevent
the sensors from detecting an impact correctly and prevent the system from
operating properly.

Do not close the hood with force or apply load to the lifters, as doing so may
damage the lifters and prevent the system from operating properly.

Do not modify the suspension, as changes made to the vehicle height may
prevent the system from operating properly.
