2-1. Driving procedures

When driving

CAUTION

When starting the vehicle

Always keep your foot on the brake pedal while stopped with the hybrid system

operating. This prevents the vehicle from creeping.

When driving the vehicle

Do not drive if you are unfamiliar with the location of the brake and accelerator

pedals to avoid depressing the wrong pedal.

Accidentally depressing the accelerator pedal instead of the brake pedal will

result in sudden acceleration that may lead to an accident that could result in

death or serious injury.

When backing up, you may twist your body around, leading to a difficulty in

operating the pedals. Make sure to operate the pedals properly.

Make sure to keep a correct driving posture even when moving the vehicle

only slightly, allowing you to depress the brake and accelerator pedals prop-

erly.

° Depress the brake pedal using your right foot. Depressing the brake pedal

using your left foot may delay response in an emergency, resulting in an acci-

dent.

The driver should pay attention to pedestrians when the vehicle is powered only

by the electric motor (traction motor). Because there is no engine noise, the

pedestrians may misjudge the vehicle’s movement.

Do not drive the vehicle over or stop the vehicle near flammable materials.

Do not let the vehicle roll backward while the shift lever is in a driving position, or

roll forward while the shift lever is in “R”.

Doing so may result in an accident or damage to the vehicle.

If the smell of exhaust is noticed inside the vehicle, open the windows and check

that the trunk is closed. Large amounts of exhaust in the vehicle can cause driver

drowsiness and an accident, resulting in death or a serious health hazard. Have

the vehicle inspected by your Lexus dealer immediately.

Do not under any circumstances shift the shift lever to “P” or “R” while the vehicle

is moving.

Doing so can cause significant damage to the transmission system and may result

in a loss of vehicle control.

Do not shift the shift lever to “N” while the vehicle is moving.

Doing so may cause insufficient engine braking and lead to an accident.
