CAUTION
Exhaust gases
■
Exhaust gases include harmful carbon monoxide (CO) that is colorless and odor-
less. Inhaling exhaust gases may lead to death or a serious health hazard.
If the vehicle is in a poorly ventilated area, stop the engine. In a closed area, such
●
as a garage, exhaust gases may collect and enter the vehicle. This may lead to
death or a serious health hazard.
The exhaust system should be checked occasionally. If there is a hole or crack
●
caused by corrosion, damage to a joint or abnormal exhaust noise, be sure to
have the vehicle inspected and repaired by any authorized Lexus dealer or
repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional. Failure to do so
may allow exhaust gases to enter the vehicle, resulting in death or a serious health
hazard.
When taking a nap in the vehicle
■
Always turn the engine off. Otherwise, if you accidentally move the shift lever or
depress the accelerator pedal, this could cause an accident or fire due to engine
overheating. Additionally, if the vehicle is parked in a poorly ventilated area, exhaust
gases may collect and enter the vehicle, leading to death or a serious health hazard.
When braking the vehicle
■
When the brakes are wet, drive more cautiously.
●
Braking distance increases when the brakes are wet, and this may cause one side
of the vehicle to brake differently than the other side. Also, the parking brake may
not securely hold the vehicle.
If the power brake assist function does not operate, do not follow other vehicles
●
closely and avoid hills or sharp turns that require braking.
In this case, braking is still possible, but the brake pedal should be depressed
more firmly than usual. Also, the braking distance will increase. Have your brakes
fixed immediately.
Do not pump the brake pedal if the engine stalls.
●
Each push on the brake pedal uses up the reserve for the power-assisted brakes.
The brake system consists of 2 individual hydraulic systems; if one of the systems
●
fails, the other will still operate. In this case, the brake pedal should be depressed
more firmly than usual and the braking distance will increase.
Have your brakes fixed immediately.
