338
IF YOU CANNOT INCREASEENGINE SPEED
If engine speed does not increase when the accelerator
pedal is depressed, the electronic throttle control system
may be faulty. Move the vehicle to a safe place by means
of creeping and call a Lexus dealer for assistance:
1. Depress the brake pedal and shift to the “D” position.
2. Gradually release the brake pedal, and the vehicle starts to
move by creeping. After arriving at a safe place, stop the
vehicle and call a Lexus dealer for assistance.
CAUTION
 The above method of moving the vehicle is for
emergency. Use it only for moving minimum
distances to a safe place.
 Be especially careful to prevent erroneous pedal
operation.
IF YOUR VEHICLE OVERHEATS
If your engine coolant temperature gauge indicates
overheating, if you experience a loss of power, or if you
hear a loud knocking or pinging noise, the engine has
probably overheated.
When the engine overheats
Pull safely off the road, stop the vehicle and turn on your
emergency flashers. Put the transmission in “P” and apply the
parking brake.
A: If steam is coming from your engine:
Turn off the engine. Leave the hood closed until there is no sign
of steam or coolant. Your engine could have been seriously
damaged already. Call your Lexus dealer for assistance.
CAUTION
To help avoid personal injury, keep the hood closed until
there is no steam. Escaping steam or coolant is sign of
very high pressure.

This option
is specifically used in noisy situation when the dial
command is not performing well.
3. To use a stored nametag (speed dial), say “Call”.
4. To dial the last number called, say “Redial”.

No”.
4. Say “Yes” (or “No” to try again).
You will hear “Dialing” and your call (or “No” to try again) \
will be
connected.
INFORMATION
 If you get a “Pardon” response as soon as you begin
saying the number, this means you spoke too quickly
after the “Phone number to dial, please” response.
Just repeat the entire number again.
 If you gave the entire number to dial and you received
a “Pardon” response, that means the system did not
hear all the digits of the phone number. Say the
number again and be sure you do not pause between
digits.
 After 3 unsuccessful tries (pardons), you will be

each digit individually and should be more

by the system; just try again. See “VOICE
COMMANDS/SPEECH RECOGNITION” on page 377
for more tips.
 If you have trouble getting numbers correctly into the
system, store up to 20 frequently called numbers
using the nametag feature directory, so the system
will remember them. After you have stored a number

nametag in order to call the number.

and commands, you must use the commands
“Pound key” and “Star key”.
