When the shift lever is in P, if the vehicle is left in ACCESSORY or IGNITION ON mode
with the engine not running for more than 20 minutes (ACCESSORY mode) or one
hour (IGNITION ON mode), the engine switch will automatically turn off. However, this
function cannot entirely prevent battery discharge. Do not leave the vehicle with the
engine switch in ACCESSORY or IGNITION ON mode for long periods of time when
the engine is not running.

GX460_OM_OM60M73U_(U)4-2. Driving procedures
■When the steering lock cannot be released
■Steering lock motor overheating prevention
To prevent the steering lock motor from overheating, the motor may be suspended if the
engine is turned on and off repeatedly in a sh
ort period of time. In this case, refrain from
running the engine. After about 10 seconds, the steering lock motor will resume func-
tioning.
■When the engine switch indicator flashes in amber
The system may be malfunctioning. Have the vehicle inspected by your Lexus dealer,
immediately.
■If the electronic key battery is depleted
P. 4 8 4
■If the smart access system with push-butto n start has been deactivated in a customized
setting
P. 5 5 0
The green indicator light on the engine switch
will flash and a message will be shown on the
multi-information display. Press the engine
switch again while turn
ing the steering wheel
left and right.
CAUTION
■When starting the engine
Always start the engine while sitting in the driver’s seat. Do not depress the accelerator
pedal while starting the engine under any circumstances.
Doing so may cause an accident resu lting in death or serious injury.
■Caution while driving
If engine failure occurs while the vehicle is moving, do not lock or open the doors until
the vehicle reaches a safe and complete stop. Activation of the steering lock in this cir-
cumstance may lead to an accident, re sulting in death or serious injury.
■Stopping the engine in an emergency
If you want to stop the engine in an emergency while driving the vehicle, press and hold
the engine switch for more than 2 seconds, or press it briefly 3 times or more in succes-

NOTICE
■When a solid object is close by
■When using the wide view front & side monitor
Even if an obstacle is no longer visible on the side monitor, do not turn the steering
wheel further in the direction the vehicle
is turning until the vehicle has moved com-
pletely past the obstacle. If th e steering wheel is turned to full lock, the vehicle will turn
in the smallest possible turning circle, and may collide with the obstacle.
The screen’s guide lines are designed for level
surfaces (road surface etc.) or flat walls etc.
When driving near the obstacle, the obstacle
may be displayed as outside the projected
course line, and it may seem that there is no
danger of a collision, however any sections pro-
truding from the wall may project over the
course line and the vehicle may actually collide
with the obstacle.
In cases such as this were the projected course
line passes close to obstacles, always visually
check the surroundings for safety.
