WARNING
■When the Emergency Call may not be made
●Any of the followings may occur. In such cases, report to the Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) by other means such as nearby public phones.
• It may sometimes be difficult to connect to the Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) even in the reception area of the cellular phone due to the reception level,or if the line is busy.
In such cases, you may not be able to connect to the Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) and thus will not be able to make emergency calls and report to the emer- gency departments even though the system tries to connect to the Public Safety
Answering Point (PSAP). • When the vehicle is out of the cellular phone service area, the Emergency Callcannot be made.
• When any related equipment (such as th e “SOS” button panel, indicator lights, microphone, speaker, DCM, antenna, or any wires connecting the equipment.)has an abnormality, is damaged or brok en, the Emergency Call cannot be made.
• During the Emergency Call, the system makes repeated attempts to connect to the Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP). However, if it cannot connect to thePublic Safety Answering Point (PSAP) due to poor radio wave reception, the sys-
tem may not be able to connect to the cellular network and the call may finish with- out connecting. The red indicator light w ill blink for approximately 30 seconds to indicate this disconnection.
• This device may not function if a shock is applied to it.
●If the 12-volt battery’s voltage decreases or there is a disconnection, the system may
not be able to access the Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP).
■When replacing DCM to a new one
ERA-GLONASS have to be activated. Contact any authorized Lexus retailer or Lexus
authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.

■When working on the engine compartment
●Make sure that the “POWER ON” on the multi-information display and the “READY” indicator are both off.
●Keep hands, clothing and tools away from the moving fan and engine drive belt.
●Be careful not to touch the engine, power co ntrol unit, radiator, exhaust manifold, etc. right after driving as they may be hot. Oil and other fluids may also be hot.
●Do not leave anything that may burn easily, such as paper and rags, in the enginecompartment.
●Do not smoke, cause sparks or expose an open flame to fuel. Fuel fumes are flamma-
ble.
●Take care because brake fluid can harm your hands or eyes and damage painted sur- faces. If fluid gets on your hands or in your eyes, flush the affected area with clean
water immediately. If you still experi ence discomfort, consult a doctor.
■When working near the electric cooling fans or radiator grille
Be sure the power switch is off.
With the power switch in ON mode, the electric cooling fans may automatically start to run if the air conditioning is on and/or the coolant temperature is high. ( P. 411)
■Safety glasses
Wear safety glasses to prevent flying or falling material, fluid spray, etc. from getting in your eyes.
NOTICE
■If you remove the air cleaner filter
Driving with the air cleaner filter removed may cause excessive engine wear due to dirt in the air.
■If the fluid level is low or high
It is normal for the brake fluid level to go down slightly as the brake pads wear or when the fluid level in the accumulator is high.
If the reservoir needs frequent refillin g, it may indicate a serious problem.
