CAUTION
Do not drive the vehicle over or stop the vehicle near flammable materials.
●
The exhaust system and exhaust gases can be extremely hot. This may cause a
fire if there is any flammable material nearby.
Do not let the vehicle roll backwards while the shift lever is in a driving position, or
●
roll forward while the shift lever is in "R".
Doing so may cause the engine to stall or lead to poor brake and steering perfor-
mance, resulting in an accident or damage to the vehicle.
If the smell of exhaust is noticed inside the vehicle, open the windows and check
●
that the back door is closed.
Large amounts of exhaust in the vehicle can cause driver drowsiness and an acci-
dent, resulting in death or a serious health hazard. Have the vehicle inspected by
your Lexus dealer immediately.
Do not under any circumstances shift the shift lever to "P" or "R" while the vehicle
●
is moving.
Doing so can cause significant damage to the transmission and may result in a
loss of vehicle control.
Do not shift the shift lever to "N" while the vehicle is moving.
●
Doing so may cause the engine brake not to operate properly and lead to an
accident.
Do not turn the engine off while driving.
●
The power steering and brake actuator will not operate properly if the engine is
not running.
Use engine braking (downshift) to maintain a safe speed when driving down a
●
steep hill.
Using the brakes continuously may cause the brakes to overheat and lose effec-
tiveness. (P. 178)
