What should I do if a loose fuel tank cap turns on the light?

What does the check engine light mean?

2025–2026

The OBD system detected a problem somewhere in the emission control system, so the vehicle may not pass an I/M test.

Contact your Lexus dealer for service, especially if the lamp remains on after several driving trips.

How do I know my electronic key battery may be depleted?

2025–2026

The battery may be depleted if the smart access or wireless remote control stops working, the detection area shrinks, or the key LED stays off.

You can replace it yourself, but Lexus recommends dealer replacement because the electronic key may be damaged.

What should I do if transmission fluid replacement is necessary?

2025–2026

If replacement is necessary, contact your Lexus dealer; the 7.5 qt. capacity is a reference quantity, not a fill target.

Use Toyota Genuine ATF WS, because another transmission fluid may cause abnormal noise or vibration or damage the transmission.

2023–2024

Push the release button and pull out the mechanical key.
