1264-1. Before driving
WARNING
●Use engine braking (downshift) to 
maintain a safe speed when driving 
down a steep hill.
Using the brakes continuously may 
cause the brakes to overheat and lose 
effectiveness. (
P.138)
●Do not adjust the positions of the 
steering wheel, the seat, or the inside 
or outside rear view mirrors while driv-
ing.
Doing so may result in a loss of vehicle 
control.
●Always check that all passengers’ 
arms, heads or other parts of their 
body are not outside the vehicle.
●Do not drive across a river or through 
other bodies of water.
This may cause electric/electronic 
components to short circuit, damage 
the engine or cause other serious 
damage to the vehicle.
●Do not drive in excess of the speed 
limit. Even if the legal speed limit per-
mits it, do not drive over 85 mph (140 
km/h) unless your vehicle has 
high-speed capability tires. Driving 
over 85 mph (140 km/h) may result in 
tire failure, loss of control and possible 
injury. Be sure to consult a tire dealer 
to determine whether the tires on your 
vehicle are high-speed capability tires 
or not before driving at such speeds.
■When driving on slippery road sur-
faces
●Sudden braking, acceleration and 
steering may cause tire slippage and 
reduce your ability to control the vehi-
cle.
●Sudden acceleration, engine braking 
due to shifting, or changes in engine 
speed could cause the vehicle to skid.
●After driving through a puddle, lightly 
depress the brake pedal to make sure 
that the brakes are functioning prop-
erly. Wet brake pads may prevent the 
brakes from functioning properly. If the 
brakes on only one side are wet and 
not functioning properly, steering con-
trol may be affected.
■When shifting the shift lever
●Do not let the vehicle roll backward 
while the shift lever is in a driving posi-
tion, or roll forward while the shift lever 
is in R.
Doing so may cause the engine to stall 
or lead to poor brake and steering 
performance, resulting in an accident 
or damage to the vehicle.
●Do not shift the shif t lever to P while 
the vehicle is moving.
Doing so can damage the transmission 
and may result in a loss of vehicle con-
trol.
●Do not shift the shift lever to R while 
the vehicle is moving forward.
Doing so can damage the transmission 
and may result in a loss of vehicle con-
trol.
●Do not shift the shift lever to a driving 
position while the vehicle is moving 
backward.
Doing so can damage the transmission 
and may result in a loss of vehicle con-
trol.
●Shifting the shift lever to N while the 
vehicle is moving will disengage the 
engine from the transmission. Engine 
braking is not available when N is 
selected.
●Be careful not to shift the shift lever 
with the accelerator pedal depressed. 
Shifting the shift lever to a gear other 
than P or N may lead to unexpected 
rapid acceleration of the vehicle that 
may cause an accident and result in 
death or serious injury.

WARNING
■If you hear a squealing or scraping 
noise (brake pad wear limit indica-
tors)
Have the brake pads checked and 
replaced by your Lexus dealer as soon as 
possible.
Rotor damage may result if the pads are 
not replaced when needed.
It is dangerous to drive the vehicle when 
the wear limits of the brake pads and/or 
those of the brake discs are exceeded.
■When the vehicle is stopped
●Do not race the engine.
If the shift lever is any position other 
than P or N, the vehicle may acceler-
ate suddenly and unexpectedly, caus-
ing an accident.
●In order to prevent accidents due to 
the vehicle rolling away, always keep 
depressing the brake pedal while the 
engine is running, and apply the park-
ing brake as necessary.
●If the vehicle is stopped on an incline, 
in order to prevent accidents caused 
by the vehicle rolling forward or back-
ward, always depress the brake pedal 
and securely apply the parking brake 
as needed.
●Avoid revving or racing the engine.
Running the engine at high speed 
while the vehicle is stopped may cause 
the exhaust system to overheat, which 
could result in a fire if combustible 
material is nearby.
■When the vehicle is parked
●Do not leave glasses, cigarette lighters, 
spray cans, or soft drink cans in the 
vehicle when it is in the sun.
Doing so may result in the following:
• Gas may leak from a cigarette lighter  or spray can, and may lead to a fire.
• The temperature inside the vehicle  may cause the plastic lenses and plas-
tic material of glasses to deform or 
crack.
• Soft drink cans may fracture, causing  the contents to spray over the interior 
of the vehicle, and may also cause a 
short circuit in the vehicle’s electrical 
components.
●Do not leave cigarette lighters in the 
vehicle. If a cigare tte lighter is in a 
place such as the glove box or on the 
floor, it may be lit accidentally when 
luggage is loaded or the seat is 
adjusted, causing a fire.
●Do not attach adhesive discs to the 
windshield or windows. Do not place 
containers such as air fresheners on 
the instrument panel or dashboard. 
Adhesive discs or containers may act 
as lenses, causing a fire in the vehicle.
●Do not leave a door or window open if 
the curved glass is coated with a met-
allized film such as a silver-colored 
one. Reflected sunlight may cause the 
glass to act as a lens, causing a fire.
●Always apply the parking brake, shift 
the shift lever to P, stop the engine and 
lock the vehicle.
Do not leave the vehicle unattended 
while the engine is running.
If the vehicle is parked with the shift 
lever in P but the parking brake is not 
set, the vehicle may start to move, pos-
sibly leading to an accident.
●Do not touch the exhaust pipes while 
the engine is running or immediately 
after turning the engine off.
Doing so may cause burns.
