When Driving On Slippery Road Surfaces; When Changing The Shift Position - Lexus CT 200h Owner's Manual

2-1. Driving procedures
CAUTION
Do not drive in excess of the speed limit. Even if the legal speed limit permits it, do
●
not drive over 85 mph (140 km/h) unless your vehicle has high-speed capability
tires. Driving over 85 mph (140 km/h) may result in tire failure, loss of control and
possible injury. Be sure to consult a tire dealer to determine whether the tires on
your vehicle are high-speed capability tires or not before driving at such speeds.

When driving on slippery road surfaces

■
Sudden braking, acceleration and steering may cause tire slippage and reduce
●
your ability to control the vehicle, resulting in an accident.
Abrupt changes from shift position D to B and rapid changes in the engine speed
●
could cause the vehicle to skid, resulting in an accident.
After driving through a puddle, lightly depress the brake pedal to make sure that
●
the brakes are functioning properly. Wet brake pads may prevent the brakes from
functioning properly. If the brakes on only one side are wet and not functioning
properly, steering control may be affected, resulting in an accident.

When changing the shift position

■
Be careful not to change the shift position with the accelerator pedal depressed.
Changing the shift position to any positions other than P or N may cause the vehicle
to accelerate abruptly, causing an accident and resulting in death or serious injury.
After changing the shift position, make sure to confirm the current shift position dis-
played on the shift position indicator inside the meter.
