2-1. Driving procedures

CAUTION

If the vehicle is in a poorly ventilated area, stop the engine. 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 system 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 vehicle 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 engine off. Otherwise, if you accidentally move the shift lever or

depress the accelerator pedal, this could cause an accident or fire due to engine

overheating. Additionally, if the vehicle is parked in a poorly ventilated 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 this may cause one side

of the vehicle to brake differently than the other side. Also, the parking brake may

not securely hold the vehicle.

If the power brake assist function does not operate, do not follow other vehicles

closely and avoid hills or sharp turns that require braking.

In this case, braking is still possible, but the brake pedal should be depressed

more firmly than usual. Also, the braking distance will increase.

Do not pump the brake pedal if the engine stalls.

Each push on the brake pedal uses up the reserve for the power-assisted brakes.

The brake system consists of 2 individual hydraulic systems: if one of the systems

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

more firmly than usual and the braking distance will increase.

If this happens, do not drive the vehicle. Have your brakes fixed immediately.

If the vehicle becomes stuck

Do not spin the wheels excessively when any of the tires is up in the air, or the vehi-

cle is stuck in sand, mud, etc. This may damage the driveline components or propel

the vehicle forward or backward, causing an accident.
