1. Cargo capacity

2. Total load capacity

When 2 people with the combined weight of 366 lb. (166 kg) are riding in your vehicle, the available amount of cargo and luggage load capacity will be as follows:

Vehicles without rear height control air suspension

With third seats — total load capacity: 1315 lb. (595 kg)

1315 lb. - 366 lb. = 949 lb. (595 kg - 166 kg = 429 kg)

Without third seats — total load capacity: 1525 lb. (690 kg)

1525 lb. - 366 lb. = 1159 lb. (690 kg - 166 kg = 524 kg)

Vehicles with rear height control air suspension

Total load capacity: 1280 lb. (580 kg)

1280 lb. - 366 lb. = 914 lb. (580 kg - 166 kg = 414 kg)

In this condition, if 3 more passengers with the combined weight of 388 lb.

(176 kg) get on, the available cargo and luggage load will be reduced as follows:

Vehicles without rear height control air suspension

With third seats

949 lb. - 388 lb. = 561 lb. (429 kg - 176 kg = 253 kg)

Without third seats

1159 lb. - 388 lb. = 771 lb. (524 kg - 176 kg = 348 kg)

Vehicles with rear height control air suspension

914 lb. - 388 lb. = 526 lb. (414 kg - 176 kg = 238 kg)

As shown in the example above, if the number of occupants increases, the cargo and luggage load will be reduced by an amount that equals the increased weight due to the additional occupants. In other words, if an increase in the number of occupants causes an excess of the total load capacity (combined weight of occupants plus cargo and luggage load), you must reduce the cargo and luggage on your vehicle.

CAUTION

Things that must not be carried in the luggage compartment

The following things may cause a fire if loaded in the luggage compartment:

• Receptacles containing gasoline

• Aerosol cans

CAUTION

Storage precautions

Observe the following precautions.

Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.

• Stow cargo and luggage in the luggage compartment whenever possible.

• Do not stack cargo and luggage in the luggage compartment higher than the seatbacks.

Such items may be thrown about and possibly injure people in the vehicle in the event of a sudden braking, sudden swerving or an accident.

• Do not place cargo or luggage in or on the following locations as the item may get under the brake or accelerator pedal and prevent the pedals from being depressed properly, block the driver’s vision, or hit the driver or passengers, causing an accident:

• At the feet of the driver

• On the front passenger or rear seats (when stacking items)

• On the luggage cover

• On the instrument panel

• On the dashboard

• Secure all items in the occupant compartment, as they may shift and injure some- one in the event of a sudden braking, sudden swerving or an accident.

• When you fold down the rear seats, long items should not be place directly behind the front seats.

• Never allow anyone to ride in the luggage compartment. It is not designed for passengers. They should ride in their seats with their seat belts properly fastened.

Otherwise, they are much more likely to suffer death or serious bodily injury, in the event of sudden braking or an accident.

Roof luggage carrier precautions

To use the roof rails as a roof luggage carrier, you must fit the roof rails with two or more genuine Lexus cross rails or their equivalent.

Follow the manufacturer’s instructions and precautions when installing the cross rails or their equivalent.

CAUTION

Capacity and distribution

• Do not exceed the maximum axle weight rating or the total vehicle weight rating.

• Even if the total load of occupant’s weight and the cargo load is less than the total load capacity, do not apply the load unevenly. Improper loading may cause dete- rioration of steering or braking control which may cause death or serious injury.

When loading cargo

Observe the following precautions:

• Place the cargo so that its weight is distributed evenly between the front and rear axles.

• If loading long or wide cargo, never exceed the vehicle overall length or width.

• Before driving, make sure the cargo is securely fastened to the roof luggage car- rier.

• Loading cargo on the roof luggage carrier will make the center of gravity of the vehicle higher. Avoid high speeds, sudden starts, sharp turns, sudden braking or abrupt maneuvers, otherwise it may result in loss of control or vehicle rollover due to failure to operate this vehicle correctly and result in death or serious injury.

• If driving for a long distance, on rough roads, or at high speeds, stop the vehicle now and then during the trip to make sure the cargo remains in its place.

• Do not exceed 176lb. (80 kg) cargo weight on the roof luggage carrier.

NOTICE

When loading cargo

Be careful not to scratch the surface of the moon roof.
