1 comments:

Mr. Anderson

April 6, 2025

The thermostat in a 2011 Lexus RX350 is located in the thermostat housing, which is bolted to the front of the water pump. The housing is secured with three 10mm bolts. There is also a coolant bypass pipe connected to it with an O-ring, and a spring clamp securing a hose above the housing.

Page 186 1-7. Safety information SRS airbag deployment conditions (SRS front airbags) The SRS front airbags will deploy in the event of an impact that exceeds the set threshold level (the level of force corresponding to an approximately 12 - 18 mph [20 - 30 km/h] frontal collision with a fixed wall that does not move or deform).

Page 189 1-7. Safety information When to contact your Lexus dealer In the following cases, contact your Lexus dealer as soon as possible. Any of the SRS airbags has been inflated. The front of the vehicle is damaged or deformed, or was involved in an accident that was not severe enough to cause the SRS airbags to inflate.
Page 190 1-7. Safety information CAUTION SRS airbag precautions Observe the following precautions regarding the SRS airbags. Failure to do so may cause death or serious injury. The driver and all passengers in the vehicle must wear their seat belts properly. The SRS airbags are supplemental devices to be used with the seat belts. The SRS driver airbag deploys with considerable force, and can cause death or serious injury especially if the driver is very close to the airbag.
Page 191 An infant or child who is too small to use a seat belt should be properly secured using a child restraint system. Lexus strongly recommends that all infants and children be placed in the rear seats of the vehicle and properly restrained.
Page 192 1-7. Safety information CAUTION SRS airbag precautions Do not sit on the edge of the seat or lean against the dashboard. Do not allow a child to stand in front of the SRS front passenger airbag unit or sit on the knees of a front passenger.

Page 199 Do not kick the front passenger seat or subject it to severe impact. Otherwise, the SRS warning light may come on to indicate a malfunction of the detection sys- tem. In this case, contact your Lexus dealer immediately. Child restraint systems installed on the rear seat should not contact the front seat- backs.
Page 200 1-7. Safety information Child restraint systems A child restraint system for a small child or baby must itself be properly restrained on the seat with the lap portion of the lap/shoulder belt. The laws of all 50 states of the U.S.A. and Canada now require the use of child restraint systems.
Page 201 1-7. Safety information Forward facing Convertible seat Booster seat Selecting an appropriate child restraint system Use a child restraint system appropriate for the child until the child becomes large enough to properly wear the vehicle’ s seat belt. If the child is too large for a child restraint system, sit the child on a rear seat and use the vehicle's seat belt.
Page 202 In an accident, the child can be crushed against the wind- shield, or between you and the vehicle's interior. Lexus strongly urges the use of a proper child restraint system that conforms to the size of the child, installed on the rear seat. According to accident statistics, the child is safer when properly restrained in the rear seat than in the front seat.
Page 203 1-7. Safety information CAUTION Child restraint precautions Make sure you have complied with all installation instructions provided by the child restraint manufacturer and that the system is properly secured.

Page 549 4-3. Do-it-yourself maintenance The tire pressure warning system Your Lexus is equipped with a tire pressure warning system that uses tire pressure warning valves and transmitters to detect low tire infla- tion pressure before serious problems arise. ( P. 537, 545)
Page 550 4-3. Do-it-yourself maintenance How to initialize the tire pressure warning system Park the vehicle in safe place and turn the “ENGINE START STEP STOP” switch off. While the vehicle is moving, initialization is not performed. Adjust the tire inflation pressure to the specified cold tire inflation STEP pressure level.
Page 551 The compact spare tire could be deformed gradually in the long term even if you don't use it. Be sure to have the compact spare tire checked by your Lexus dealer if it is over 5 years.
