2-1. Driving procedures

Always apply the parking brake, shift the shift lever to “P”, stop the hybrid system

and lock the vehicle.

Do not leave the vehicle unattended while the hybrid system is operating.

Do not touch the exhaust pipes and the rear bumper diffusers while the hybrid

system is operating or immediately after turning the hybrid system off.

Doing so may cause burns.

Do not leave the hybrid system operating in an area with snow build-up, or where

it is snowing. If snowbanks build up around the vehicle while the hybrid system is

operating, exhaust gases may collect and enter the vehicle. This may lead to

death or a serious health hazard.

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.
