When Shifting The Shift Lever; If You Hear A Squealing Or Scraping Noise (Brake Pad Wear Limit Indicators); When The Vehicle Is Stopped - Lexus LX 570 Owner's Manual

2-1. Driving procedures
CAUTION

When shifting the shift lever

■
Be careful not to shift the shift lever with the accelerator pedal depressed.
This may lead to unexpected rapid acceleration of the vehicle that may cause an
accident and result in death or serious injury.

If you hear a squealing or scraping noise (brake pad wear limit indicators)

■
Have your Lexus dealer check and replace the brake pads as soon as possible.
The rotor damage can result if the pads are not replaced when needed.
It is dangerous to drive the vehicle when the wear limits of the brake pads and/or
that of the brake discs are exceeded.

When the vehicle is stopped

■
Do not race the engine.
●
If the vehicle is in any gear other than "P" or "N", the vehicle may accelerate sud-
denly and unexpectedly, and may cause an accident.
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
check that exhaust fumes do not enter the vehicle interior.
In order to prevent accidents due to the vehicle rolling away, always keep
●
depressing the brake pedal while the engine is running, and apply the parking
brake as necessary.
If the vehicle is stopped on an incline, in order to prevent accidents caused by the
●
vehicle rolling forward or backward, always depress the brake pedal and
securely apply the parking brake as needed.
Avoid revving or racing the engine.
●
Running the engine at high speed while the vehicle is stopped may cause the
exhaust system to overheat, which could result in a fire if combustible material is
nearby.
