IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY
153 CAUTION:
When the engine is running, keep hands and clothing
away from the moving fan and engine drive belt.
4. If the engine drive belt is broken or loose, or the coolant is
leaking, stop the engine immediately. Call a Lexus dealer for
assistance.
5. If the engine drive belt is O.K. and there are no obvious
leaks, you may help the engine cool down more quickly by
running it at about 1500 rpm for a few minutes with the
accelerator pedal lightly depressed.
6. Check the coolant reservoir. If it is dry, add water to the
reservoir while the engine is running. Fill it about half full.
CAUTION:
Do not attempt to remove the reservoir cap when the
engine and radiator are hot. Serious injury could result
from scalding hot fluid and steam blown out under
pressure.
7. After the engine coolant temperature has cooled to normal,
again check the coolant level in the reservoir. If necessary,
bring it up to half full again. Serious coolant loss indicates a
leak in the system. You should have it checked as soon as
possible by your Lexus dealer.
IF YOU HAVE A FLAT TIRE
1. Reduce your speed gradually, keeping a straight line. Move
cautiously off the road to a safe place − well away from the
traffic. Avoid stopping on the center divider of a highway. Park
on a level spot with firm ground.
2. Stop the engine and turn on your emergency flashers.
3. Firmly set the parking brake and put the transmission in “P”.
4. Have everyone get out of the vehicle on the side away from
traffic.
5. Read the following instructions thoroughly.
CAUTION:
When jacking up the vehicle, observe the following to
reduce the possibility of personal injury:
Follow jacking instructions.
Use a jack only for lifting your vehicle during wheel
changing.
Never get beneath the vehicle when supported by a
jack.
Do not start or run the engine while your vehicle is
supported by a jack.
