The system may be malfunctioning. Have the vehicle inspected by any

authorized Lexus dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped

professional immediately.

When starting the engine

Always start the engine while sitting in the driver's seat. Do not depress the

accelerator pedal while starting the engine under any circumstances.

Doing so may cause an accident resulting in death or serious injury.

Caution while driving

If engine failure occurs while the vehicle is moving, do not lock or open the

doors until the vehicle reaches a safe and complete stop. Activation of the

steering lock in this circumstance may lead to an accident, resulting in

death or serious injury.

Stopping the engine in an emergency

If you want to stop the engine in an emergency while driving the vehicle,

press and hold the engine switch for more than 2 seconds, or press it briefly

3 times or more in succession. (P. 815)

However, do not touch the engine switch while driving except in an emer-

gency. Turning the engine off while driving will not cause loss of steering

or braking control, however, power assist to the steering will be lost. This

will make it more difficult to steer smoothly, so you should pull over and

stop the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do so.
