NOTICE
When recharging the battery
■
Never recharge the battery while the engine is running. Also, be sure all accesso-
ries are turned off.
When replacing the battery
■
Replace the battery with a battery of the same size.
Installing a battery of a different size will prevent the cover from being properly
installed over the battery. This may cause water to enter the engine compartment
when it rains or the vehicle is washed, resulting in a malfunction.
For more information about replacing the battery, contact your Lexus dealer.
