2-2. Driving procedures
WARNING
For the rotary shifter
■
●
Do not remove the rotary shifter knob
or use anything but a genuine Lexus
rotary shifter knob. Also, do not hang
anything on the rotary shifter. Doing so
could prevent the rotary shifter from
returning to position, causing unex-
pected accidents to occur when the
vehicle is in motion.
●
In order to prevent the shift position
from accidentally being changed, do
not touch the rotary shifter when not
using them.
■
P position switch
Do not press the P position switch
●
while the vehicle is moving.
If the P position switch is pressed when
driving at very low speeds (for example,
directly before stopping the vehicle), the
vehicle may stop suddenly when the shift
position switches to P, which could lead
to an accident.
●
In order to prevent the shift position
from accidentally being changed, do
not touch the P position switch when
not using them.
NOTICE
■
When exiting the vehicle (driver's
seat only)
Check that the shift position indicator
shows P and that the parking brake indi-
cator is illuminated before opening the
door and exiting the vehicle.
