If you smell exhaust gases in the vehicle even when the trunk lid is closed, open
●
the windows and have the vehicle inspected at your Lexus dealer as soon as pos-
sible.
When parking

If the vehicle is in a poorly ventilated area or a closed area, such as a garage, stop
●
the engine <hybrid system>.
Do not leave the vehicle with the engine running <hybrid system operating> for a

If such a situation cannot be avoided, park the vehicle in an open space and
ensure that exhaust fumes do not enter the vehicle interior.
