Q Conditions under which the Pop Up
Hood will not operate
The Pop Up Hood will not operate in the
following situations:
O Colliding with a lying person
O A frontal impact applied to the front
bumper while driving at speeds outside
of the operational speed range
O A side impact or rear impact
O A vehicle rollover (In some accident situ-
ations, the Pop Up Hood may operate.)
Q When the Pop Up Hood is operated
O Do not pull the hood lock release
lever. Doing so after the Pop Up Hood
has operated will further raise the
hood and may cause an injury. Do not
drive with the hood raised, as doing so
may block the driver’s vision, possibly
causing an accident.
O Do not forcibly push down the hood.
As the popped up hood cannot be
lowered by hand, doing so may
deform the hood or cause an injury.
O If the Pop Up Hood has operated,
have it replaced by any authorized
Lexus retailer or Lexus authorized
repairer, or any reliable repairer. If the
Pop Up Hood has operated, stop the
vehicle in a safe place and contact any
authorized Lexus retailer or Lexus
authorized repairer, or any reliable
repairer.
O Do not touch the lifters immediately
after the Pop Up Hood has operated,
as the lifters may be hot and burn you.
Q Pop Up Hood precautions
O Make sure to close the hood before
driving, as the system may not operate
properly if the hood is not fully closed.
O Make sure that all 4 tires are of the
specified size and inflated to the speci-
fied tire pressure. If tires of a different
size are used, the system may not
operate properly.
O 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 authorized Lexus
retailer or Lexus authorized repairer,
or any reliable repairer.
O 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.
O 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 sys-
tem from operating properly.
O Do not install anything to the front
bumper or hood, as doing so may pre-
vent the sensors from detecting an
impact correctly and prevent the sys-
tem from operating properly.
O 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.
O Do not modify the suspension, as
changes made to the vehicle height
may prevent the system from operat-
ing properly.
