Before driving the vehicle
Perform the following according to the driving conditions:
Do not try to forcibly open a window or move a wiper that is frozen. Pour
●
warm water over the frozen area to melt the ice. Wipe away the water imme-
diately to prevent it from freezing.
To ensure proper operation of the climate control system fan, remove any
●
snow that has accumulated on the air inlet vents in front of the windshield.
Check for and remove any excess ice or snow that may have accumulated on
●
the exterior lights, vehicle's roof, chassis, around the tires or on the brakes.
Remove any snow or mud from the bottom of your shoes before getting in the
●
vehicle.
When driving the vehicle
Accelerate the vehicle slowly, keep a safe distance between you and the vehicle
ahead, and drive at a reduced speed suitable to road conditions.
When parking the vehicle
Park the vehicle and move the shift lever to P without setting the parking
●
brake. The parking brake may freeze up, preventing it from being released. If
the vehicle is parked without setting the parking brake, make sure to block the
wheels.
Failure to do so may be dangerous because it may cause the vehicle to move
unexpectedly, possibly leading to an accident.
If the vehicle is parked without setting the parking brake, confirm that the shift
●
lever cannot be moved out of P
*
: The shift lever will be locked if it is attempted to be shifted from P to any other posi-
tion without depressing the brake pedal. If the shift lever can be shifted from P, there
may be a problem with the shift lock system. Have the vehicle inspected by your
Lexus dealer immediately.
