Pop Up Hood precautions
■
Before scrapping your vehicle, make sure to contact any authorized Lexus retailer or
●
Lexus authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
The Pop Up Hood system cannot be reused once it has operated. Have it replaced by
●
any authorized Lexus retailer or Lexus authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
Conditions under which the Pop Up Hood may not operate properly
■
The Pop Up Hood may not operate properly under the following conditions:
If a pedestrian collides with the right or left corner of the front bumper or the side of the
●
vehicle. As such impacts may be difficult to detect, the system may not operate.
If the vehicle speed is not detected correctly, such as if the vehicle is sliding sideways,
●
the system may not operate properly.
Conditions under which the Pop Up Hood may not operate
■
The Pop Up Hood may not operate in the following situations:
Colliding with a lying pedestrian

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. 652). 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 autho-
rized Lexus retailer or Lexus authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
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 properly. If repair or
replacement is necessary, contact any authorized Lexus retailer or Lexus authorized
repairer, or any reliable repairer.
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 oper-
ating properly.
Do not install anything to the front bumper or hood, as doing so may prevent the sen-
●
sors from detecting an impact correctly and prevent the system from operating prop-
erly.
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.
