• If the braking functions cannot operate to  their full extent, such as when the brake 
parts are extremely cold, extremely hot, 
or wet
• If the vehicle is not properly maintained  (brakes or tires are excessively worn, 
improper tire inflation pressure, etc.)
• When the vehicle is being driven on a  gravel road or other slippery surface

Driving
or move a wiper that is frozen. Pour 
warm water over the frozen area to 
melt the ice. Wipe away the water 
immediately to prevent it from 
freezing.
 To ensure proper operation of the 
climate control system fan, remove 
any snow that has accumulated on 
the air inlet vents in front of the 
windshield.
 Check for and remove any excess 
ice or snow that may have accumu-
lated on the exterior lights, vehicle’s 
roof, chassis, around the tires or on 
the brakes.
 Remove any snow or mud from the 
bottom of your shoes before getting 
in the vehicle.
■To protect the windshield wipers
 P.158
Accelerate the vehicle slowly, keep a 
safe distance between you and the 
vehicle ahead, and drive at a reduced 
speed suitable to road conditions.
 Park the vehicle and move the shift 
lever to P without setting the park-
ing brake. The parking brake may 
freeze up, preventing it from being 
released. If the vehicle is parked 
without setting the parking brake, 
make sure to block the wheels. 
Failure to do so may be dangerous 
because it may cause the vehicle to  move unexpectedly, possibly lead-
ing to an accident.
 If the vehicle is parked without set-
ting the parking brake, confirm that 
the shift lever cannot be moved out 
of P
*.
*: The shift lever will be locked if it is 
attempted to be shifted from P to any 
other position with out depressing the 
brake pedal. If the shift lever can be 
shifted from P, there may be a problem 
with the shift lock system. Have the vehi-
cle inspected by your Lexus dealer 
immediately.
