If the light comes on while you are driving, have your vehicle checked by your Lexus dealer as soon as possible. The light will come on when the ignition key is turned to "ON", and will go off after about 3 seconds.

If the four-wheel drive control is in the "N" position while the selector lever is in the "P" position, the transmission will disengage and the wheels will not lock. ! CAUTION To restore the park function, shift the four-wheel drive control out of "N". (i) Automatic Transmission Fluid Temperature Warning Light This light warns that the automatic transmission fluid temperature is too high. If this light comes on while you are driving, slow down and pull off the road. Stop the vehicle at a safe place and put the selector lever in "P" and leave the engine idling until the light goes off. If the light goes off, you can start the vehicle again. If the light does not go off, call a Lexus dealer or qualified repair shop for assistance.
