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.
