CT200h_U (OM76040U)

CAUTION

■

If both the ABS and the brake system warning lights remain on

Stop your vehicle in a safe place immediately and contact your Lexus dealer. The

vehicle will become extremely unstable during braking, and the ABS system may

fail, which could cause an accident resulting in death or serious injury.

■

When the electric power steering system warning light comes on

The steering wheel may become extremely heavy.

If the steering wheel becomes heavier than usual when operating, hold firmly and

operate using more force than usual.

■

If the tire pressure warning light comes on

Be sure to observe the following precautions. Failure to do so could cause a loss of

vehicle control and result in death or serious injury.

●

Stop your vehicle in a safe place as soon as possible. Adjust the tire inflation pres-

sure immediately.

●

If the tire pressure warning light comes on even after tire inflation pressure adjust-

ment, it is probable that you have a flat tire. Check the tires. If a tire is flat, change

it with the spare tire and have the flat tire repaired by the nearest Lexus dealer.

●

Avoid abrupt maneuvering and braking. If the vehicle tires deteriorate, you could

lose control of the steering wheel or the brakes.

■

If a blowout or sudden air leakage should occur

The tire pressure warning system may not activate immediately.
