6-3. Do-it-yourself maintenance
*
: If equipped
The amount of AdBlue™ that is consumed while driving differs according to the
driving conditions and driving environment. When the amount of AdBlue™ that is
consumed increases, the possible driving range until it is necessary to refill
AdBlue™ decreases.
*1
: When the vehicle is used at high elevations and in low temperatures, the amount of
AdBlue™ that is consumed increases.
*2
: During normal driving, 1.0 L (1.1 qt., 0.9 Imp.qt.) of AdBlue™ is consumed approxi-
mately every 1000 km (621 miles). Also, after a full refill, the vehicle can be driven for
approximately 17000 km (10564 miles) before all AdBlue™ is depleted.
AdBlue™ is used to reduce the amount of nitrogen oxides in exhaust gas.
Make sure to observe the following precautions regarding AdBlue™.
z AdBlue™ is consumed in the process of driving.
z When AdBlue™ is depleted, the engine cannot be restarted.
z When AdBlue™ needs to be refilled, have it refilled at your Lexus dealer
It may be a criminal offence to use a vehicle that does not consume any
reagent if it is required for the reduction of emissions.
