while the engine is running or immediately after the engine is turned off.
When washing the vehicle, be careful not to touch the exhaust pipes and rear
bumper diffusers until they have cooled sufficiently, as touching hot exhaust pipes and rear bumper diffusers can cause
burns.

If the paint of the rear bumper is chipped or scratched, the system may malfunc-
tion. If this occurs, consult any authorized Lexus retailer or Lexus authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
