CAUTION
Do not touch the exhaust pipe while the hybrid system is operating or immedi-
●
ately after turning the hybrid system off.
Doing so may cause burns.
Do not leave the hybrid system operating in an area with snow build-up, or where
●
it is snowing. If snowbanks build up around the vehicle while the hybrid system is
operating, exhaust gases may collect and enter the vehicle. This may lead to
death or a serious health hazard.
Exhaust gases
■
Exhaust gases include harmful carbon monoxide (CO), which is colorless and
odorless. Inhaling exhaust gases may lead to death or a serious health hazard.
If the vehicle is in a poorly ventilated area, stop the hybrid system. 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.
