ESP LEXUS ES350 2022 Workshop Manual

3847-2. Steps to take in an emergency
6Start the engine and turn the air
conditioning system on to check
that the radiator cooling fan oper-
ates and to check for coolant leaks
from the radiator or hoses.
The fan operates when the air conditioning
system is turned on immediately after a
cold start. Confirm that the fan is operating
by checking the fan sound and air flow. If it
is difficult to check these, turn the air con-
ditioning system on and off repeatedly.
(The fan may not operate in freezing tem-
peratures.)
7 If the fan is not operating:
Stop the engine immediately and
contact your Lexus dealer.
If the fan is operating:
Have the vehicle inspected at the
nearest Lexus dealer.
WARNING
■When inspecting under the hood of
your vehicle
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in serious
injury such as burns.
●If steam is seen coming from under the
hood, do not open the hood until the
steam has subsided. The engine com-
partment may be very hot.
●Keep hands and clothing (especially a
tie, a scarf or a muffler) away from the
fan and belts. Failure to do so may
cause the hands or clothing to be
caught, resulting in serious injury.
●While the engine and radiator are hot,
do not loosen or remove the coolant
inlet cap or coolant reservoir cap.
High temperature steam or coolant
could spray out.
NOTICE
■When adding engine coolant
Add coolant slowly after the engine has
cooled down sufficiently. Adding cool
coolant to a hot engine too quickly can
cause damage to the engine.
■To prevent damage to the cooling
system
Observe the following precautions:
●Avoid contaminating the coolant with
foreign matter (such as sand or dust
etc.).
●Do not use any coolant additive.

■Traction AA, A, B, C
The traction grades, from highest to
lowest, are AA, A, B and C, and they
represent the tire’s ability to stop on
wet pavement as measured under con-
trolled conditions on specified govern-
ment test surfaces of asphalt and
concrete.
A tire marked C may have poor traction
performance.
Warning: The traction grade assigned to
this tire is based on braking (straight
ahead) traction tests and does not include
cornering (turning) traction.
■Temperature A, B, C
The temperature grades are A (the
highest), B, and C, representing the
tire’s resistance to the generation of
heat and its ability to dissipate heat when tested under controlled condi-
tions on a specified indoor laboratory
test wheel.
Sustained high temperature can cause the
material of the tire to degenerate and
reduce tire life, and excessive temperature
can lead to sudden tire failure.
Grade C corresponds to a level of perfor-
mance which all passenger car tires must
meet under the Federal Motor Vehicle
Safety Standard No. 109.
Grades B and A represent higher levels of
performance on the laboratory test wheel
than the minimum required by law.
Warning: The temperature grades of a tire
assume that it is properly inflated and not
overloaded.
Excessive speed, underinflation, or exces-
sive loading, either separately or in combi-
nation, can cause heat buildup and
possible tire failure.

AVERTISSEMENT
●Ne fixez et n’appuyez rien sur des
zones telles que la planche de bord, le
tampon de volant ou encore la partie
inférieure du tableau de bord.
Ces objets peuvent se transformer en
projectiles lorsque les coussins gonfla-
bles SRS du conducteur, du passager
avant et de protection des genoux se
déploient.
●Ne fixez rien sur des zones telles que
les portières, le pare-brise, les glaces
latérales, les montants avant ou
arrière, le brancard de pavillon et la
poignée de maintien.
●N’accrochez pas de cintres ni d’autres
objets rigides sur les crochets porte-
vêtements. Tous ces objets pourraient
se transformer en projectiles et vous
occasionner des blessures graves,
voire mortelles, en cas de déploiement
des coussins gonflables SRS en rideau.
●Si un recouvrement de vinyle est placé
sur la zone de déploiement du coussin
gonflable SRS de protection des
genoux, veillez à le retirer.
●N’utilisez pas d’accessoires recou-
vrant les parties du siège où les couss-
ins gonflables SRS latéraux se
déploient, car ces accessoires pour-
raient entraver le déploiement des
coussins gonflables SRS. De tels
accessoires peuvent empêcher les
coussins gonflables latéraux de se
déployer correctement, rendre le sys-
tème inopérant ou provoquer acci-
dentellement le déploiement des
coussins gonflables latéraux, occa-
sionnant des blessures graves, voire
mortelles.
●Ne frappez pas et n’appliquez pas une
pression importante à l’emplacement
des portières avant ou des com-
posants des coussins gonflables SRS.
Cela peut provoquer un mauvais
fonctionnement des coussins gonfla-
bles SRS.
●Ne touchez à aucun composant des
coussins gonflables SRS immédiate-
ment après leur déploiement (gon-
flage), car ils pourraient être chauds.
●Si vous avez de la difficulté à respirer
après le déploiement des coussins
gonflables SRS, ouvrez une portière
ou une glace pour laisser entrer l’air
frais, ou quittez le véhicule si vous pou-
vez le faire en toute sécurité. Dès que
possible, nettoyez tous les résidus afin
d’éviter les irritations cutanées.
●Si les emplacements de stockage des
coussins gonflables SRS, tels que le
tampon de volant et les garnitures des
montants avant et arrière, sont endom-
magés ou fissurés, faites-les remplacer
par votre concessionnaire Lexus.
●Ne placez aucun objet, par exemple
un coussin, sur le siège du passager
avant. Cela disperserait le poids du
passager, ce qui empêcherait le cap-
teur de le détecter correctement. Cela
pourrait empêcher le déploiement des
coussins gonflables SRS du passager
avant en cas de collision.
