When encountering flooded roads

■
Do not drive on a road that has flooded after heavy rain etc. Doing so may cause the
following serious damage to the vehicle:
Engine stalling
●
Short in electrical components
●
Engine damage caused by water immersion
●
In the event that you drive on a flooded road and the vehicle is flooded, be sure to
have your Lexus dealer check the following:
Brake function
●
Changes in quantity and quality of engine oil, transmission fluid for the hybrid sys-
●
tem etc.
Lubricant condition for the bearings and suspension joints (where possible), and
●
the function of all joints, bearings, etc.
If the P position control system is damaged by flooding, it may not be possible to
shift the shift position to P, or from P to other positions. When the shift position can-
not be changed from P to any other position, the front wheels will lock, and you will
be unable to tow the vehicle with the front wheels on the ground, as the front wheels
may be locked. In this case, transport the vehicle with both front wheels or all four
wheels lifted.
