NOTICE
To prevent battery discharge
■
Do not leave the engine switch in ACCESSORY or IGNITION ON mode for long
●
periods of time without the engine running.
RC350/RC300/RC200t: If "ACCESSORY" or "IGNITION ON" is displayed on
●
the meters while the engine is not running, the engine switch is not off. Exit the vehicle
after turning the engine switch off.
RC F: If the analog speedometer is illuminated and the engine is not running, the
●
engine switch is not off. Exit the vehicle after turning the engine switch off.
However, if the welcome illumination is operating, the analog speedometer will be
illuminated even though the engine switch is off. (Welcome illumination: →P. 107)
Do not stop the engine when the shift lever is in a position other than P. If the engine is
●
stopped in another shift lever position, the engine switch will not be turned off but
instead be turned to ACCESSORY mode. If the vehicle is left in ACCESSORY
mode, battery discharge may occur.
When starting the engine
■
Do not race a cold engine.
●
If the engine becomes difficult to start or stalls frequently, have your vehicle checked
●
by your Lexus dealer immediately.
Symptoms indicating a malfunction with the engine switch
■
If the engine switch seems to be operating somewhat differently than usual, such as the
switch sticking slightly, there may be a malfunction. Contact your Lexus dealer immedi-
ately.
