STARTING AND DRIVING
341

Avoid racing the engine.
 Do not pushstart or pullstart your vehicle.
 Do not turn off the engine while the vehicle is moving.
 Keep your engine in good running order.
Malfunctions in the engine electrical system,
electronic ignition system or fuel system could cause
an extremely high threeway catalytic converter
temperature.
 If the engine becomes difficult to start or stalls
frequently, take your vehicle in for a checkup as
soon as possible. Remember, your Lexus dealer
knows your vehicle and its threeway catalytic
converter system best.
 To ensure that the threeway catalytic converter and
the entire emission control system operate properly,
your vehicle must receive the periodic inspections
required by the Lexus Maintenance Schedule. For
scheduled maintenance information, refer to the
“Owner’s Manual Supplement / Scheduled
Maintenance”.
ENGINE EXHAUST CAUTION
CAUTION
Avoid inhaling the engine exhaust. It contains
carbon monoxide, which is a colorless and odorless
gas. It can cause unconsciousness or even death.
 Make sure the exhaust system has no holes or loose
connections. The system should be checked from
time to time. If you hit something, or notice a change
in the sound of the exhaust, have the system checked
immediately.
 Do not run the engine in a garage or enclosed area
except for the time needed to drive the vehicle in or
out. The exhaust gases cannot escape, making this
a particularly dangerous situation.
 Do not remain for a long time in a parked vehicle with
the engine running. If it is unavoidable, however, do
so only in an unconfined area and adjust the heating
or cooling system to force outside air into the vehicle.
 Keep the trunk lid closed while driving. An open or
unsealed trunk lid may cause exhaust gases to be
drawn into the vehicle.

NOTICE
Observe the following instructions, or the engine switch
may not work properly.
 The switch should be operated with your clean finger.
Do not use an oily or dirty finger.

switch.
Do not modify the engine switch without consulting
your Lexus dealer. Doing so may cause system
problem.

tion
three times to select “2” (second range).
If you drive in the “S” position: Shift the selector lever
down to the “–” position to select “2” (second range).

Dual sensors
G31054
(A) Collision will be unavoidable: Collision with the
detected obstacle cannot be avoided even by changing the
steering.
(B) Collision will be avoided by changing the steering:
Collision with the obstacle can be avoided by changing the
steering.
(C) Collision will be avoide d with the present steering
angle: Even if you continue moving at the present steering
angle, the distance to the obstacle within sensor detection
range will not be less than about 25 cm (0.8 ft.).
The dual sensors detect an obstacle in front of the vehicle
or at an angle to the front of the vehicle, and estimate the
distance to the obstacle and also the steering angle
required. They will evaluate which of the above 3
conditions is applicable. The selector lever must be in any position other than “P” or “R”
for these sensors to operate, however the obstacle at an angle
to the front of the vehicle will also be detected while the selector
lever is in “R”.
CAUTION
With long obstacles such as walls, the decision of the
sensor may change as the obstacle gets closer; from
certain avoidance to avoidance if steering is changed;
from certain avoidance to unavoidable collision; and
there are also times when the
decision will be changed
from avoidance if steering is changed, to certain
collision. When you move your vehicle, be sure to
confirm a safe distance around your vehicle with your
eyes and drive slowly, or an accident or injury may
result.
The steering guidance may not operate properly in the
following conditions:
 Tires other than those of Lexus genuine size are
installed.
 The steering sensor information cannot be received
properly. (See “Intuitive parking assist failure warning”
on page 378.)

STARTING AND DRIVING

1Multiinformation display:
The indicator bars will come on depending on the
distance to the obstacle.
2Screen:
The indicator bars will come on in green depending on the
distance to the obstacle. In addition, the current direction
of the tires is also indicated in 3 stages.
Beeps:
Beeps will not sound.
CAUTION
To avoid an accident or injury, observe the following.
When you move your vehicle, be sure to confirm a safe
distance around your vehicle with your eyes and drive
slowly.
 With long obstacles such as walls, the decision of the
sensor may change as the obstacle gets closer; from
certain avoidance to avoidance if steering is
changed; from certain avoidance to unavoidable
collision; and there are also times when the decision
will be changed from avoidance if steering is
changed, to certain collision.
 When an obstacle is detected within about 25 cm (0.8
ft.) from the vehicle, the dual sensors will change the
determination to an unavoidable collision.
