Precautions regarding the exhaust

pipes and rear bumper diffusers
As exhaust gases cause the exhaust
pipes and rear bumper diffusers to
become quite hot, do not touch the
exhaust pipes and rear bumper diffusers
while the engine is running or immedi-
ately after the engine is turned off.
When washing the vehicle, be careful not
to touch the exhaust pipes and rear
bumper diffusers until they have cooled
sufficiently, as touching hot exhaust pipes
and rear bumper diffusers can cause
burns.
Precaution regarding the rear
■
bumper with Blind Spot Monitor (if
equipped)
If the paint of the rear bumper is chipped
or scratched, the system may malfunc-
tion. If this occurs, consult your Lexus
dealer.
