2-1. Driving procedures

CAUTION

Exhaust gases

Exhaust gases include harmful carbon monoxide (CO) that is colorless and odor-

less. Inhaling exhaust gases may lead to death or a serious health hazard.

If the vehicle is in a poorly ventilated area, stop the hybrid system. In a closed

area, such as a garage, exhaust gases may collect and enter the vehicle. This may

lead to death or a serious health hazard.

The exhaust should be checked occasionally. If there is a hole or crack caused by

corrosion, damage to a joint or abnormal exhaust noise, be sure to have the vehi-

cle inspected and repaired by your Lexus dealer. Failure to do so may allow

exhaust gases to enter the vehicle, resulting in death or a serious health hazard.

When taking a nap in the vehicle

Always turn the hybrid system off. Otherwise, you may accidentally move the shift

lever or depress the accelerator pedal, which could cause an accident or fire due to

hybrid system overheating. Additionally, if the vehicle is parked in a poorly venti-

lated area, exhaust gases may collect and enter the vehicle, leading to death or a

serious health hazard.

When braking the vehicle

When the brakes are wet, drive more cautiously. Braking distance increases

when the brakes are wet, and may cause one side of the vehicle to brake differ-

ently than the other side. Also the parking brake may not securely hold the vehi-

cle.

If the electronically controlled brake system does not operate, do not follow other

vehicles closely and avoid downhills or sharp turns that require braking.

In this case, even though the brakes still operate, the brake pedal should be

depressed more firmly than usual. Braking distance also becomes longer.

The brake system consists of 3 individual hydraulic systems: if one of the systems

fails, the others will still operate. In this case, the brake pedal should be depressed

more firmly than usual and braking distance becomes longer. If this happens, do

not continue to drive the vehicle. If the brake system warning light (red indicator)

comes on together with buzzer sound while driving, immediately stop the vehicle

in a safe place and contact your Lexus dealer.
