Driving
NOTICE
●Do not use the accelerator pedal or
depress the accelerator and brake
pedals at the same time to hold the
vehicle on a hill.
■When parking the vehicle
●Always set the parking brake and shift
the shift lever to P. Failure to do so may
cause the vehicle to move or the vehi-
cle may accelerate suddenly if the
accelerator pedal is accidentally
depressed.
●Vehicles with titanium mufflers: Be
careful when parking in a parking spot
with anything protruding from the sur-
face, such as a multi-level parking sys-
tem, as the protruding area may
contact and damage the muffler.
■Avoiding damage to vehicle parts
●Do not turn the steering wheel fully in
either direction and ho ld it there for an
extended period of time. Doing so may
damage the power steering motor.
●When driving over bumps in the road,
drive as slowly as possible to avoid
damaging the wheels, underside of the
vehicle, etc.
●Vehicles with titanium mufflers: As the
vehicle’s ground clearance is low,
when driving over bumps or areas
where the road height changes, drive
as slowly as possible to avoid damag-
ing the muffler.
■If you get a flat tire while driving
A flat or damaged tire may cause the fol-
lowing situations. Hold the steering
wheel firmly and gradually depress the
brake pedal to slow down the vehicle.
●It may be difficult to control your vehi-
cle.
●The vehicle will make abnormal
sounds or vibrations.
●The vehicle will lean abnormally.

after heavy rain etc. Doing so may cause

immersion
In the event that you drive on a flooded
road and the vehicle is flooded, be sure
to have your Lexus dealer check the fol-
lowing:
●Brake function
●Changes in quantity and quality of oil
and fluid used for the engine, transmis-
sion, differential, etc.
●Lubricant condition for the propeller
shaft, bearings and suspension joints
(where possible), and the function of
all joints, bearings, etc.
