●The display on the engine coolant temperature gauge flashes or a loss of power
is experienced.

CAUTION
■To prevent an accident or injury when inspecting under the hood of your vehicle

steam has subsided. The engine compartment may be very hot, causing serious
injury such as burns.
●Keep hands and clothing away from the fans and belt while the engine is running.

sary.
Water can be used in an emer-
gency measure if engine coolant
is unavailable. (→P. 5 1 7 )
Have the vehicle checked at your nearest Lexus dealer as soon as pos-
