Lexus LS460 2011 Owner's Manual page 184


When starting the vehicle
Always keep your foot on the brake pedal while stopped with the engine
running. This prevents the vehicle from creeping.

When driving the vehicle

Do not drive if you are unfamiliar with the location of the brake and accel-
erator pedals to avoid depressing the wrong pedal.
• Accidentally depressing the accelerator pedal instead of the brake
pedal will result in sudden acceleration that may lead to an accident
that could result in death or serious injury.
• When backing up, you may twist your body around, leading to a diffi-
culty in operating the pedals. Make sure to operate the pedals properly.
• Make sure to keep a correct driving posture even when moving the
vehicle only slightly, allowing you to depress the brake and accelerator
pedals properly.
• Depress the brake pedal using your right foot. Depressing the brake
pedal using your left foot may delay response in an emergency, result-
ing in an accident.

Do not drive the vehicle over or stop the vehicle near flammable materi-
als.

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 result 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 trunk is closed. Large amounts of exhaust in the vehicle can
cause driver drowsiness and an accident, resulting in death or a serious
health hazard. Have the vehicle inspected immediately by any authorized
Lexus dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped profes-
sional.

Do not shift the shift lever to "P" while the vehicle is moving.
Doing so can damage the transmission and may result in a loss of vehicle
control.

Do not shift the shift lever to "R" while the vehicle is moving forward.
Doing so can damage the transmission and may result in a loss of vehicle
control.

Do not shift the shift lever to "D" while the vehicle is moving backward.
Doing so can damage the transmission and may result in a loss of vehicle
control.
