4-2. Driving procedures
WARNING
When parking
■
Exhaust gases include harmful carbon monoxide (CO), which is colorless and odor-
less.
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may cause exhaust gases to enter the vehicle and may lead to an acci-
dent caused by light-headedness, or may lead to death or a serious health hazard.
If the vehicle is in a poorly ventilated area or a closed area, such as a garage, stop the
●
engine.
Do not leave the vehicle with the engine running for a long time. 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.
Do not leave the engine running in an area with snow build-up, or where it is snowing.
●
If snowbanks build up around the vehicle while the engine is running, exhaust gases
may collect and enter the vehicle.
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.
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.
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.
