4-1. Before driving
WARNING
■When starting the vehicle
LC500: Always keep your foot on the
brake pedal while stopped with the engine running. This prevents the vehicle from creeping.
LC500h: Always keep your foot on the brake pedal while stopped with the
“READY” indicator is illuminated. This prevents the vehicle from creeping.
■When driving the vehicle
●Do not drive if you are unfamiliar with the location of the brake and accelera-tor pedals to avoid depressing the
wrong pedal.
• Accidentally depressing the accelera-
tor pedal instead of the brake pedal will result in sudden acceleration that may lead to an accident.
• When backing up, you may twist your body around, leading to a difficulty in
operating the pedals. Make sure to operate the pedals properly.
• Make sure to keep a correct driving posture even when moving the vehicle only slightly. This allows you to depress
the brake and accelerator pedals properly.
• Depress the brake pedal using your right foot. Depressing the brake pedal using your left foot may delay
response in an emergency, resulting in an accident.
●LC500h: The driver should pay extra attention to pedestrians when the vehi-
cle is powered only by the electric motor (traction motor). As there is no engine noise, the pedestrians may mis-
judge the vehicle’s movement.
●Do not drive the vehicle over or stop the vehicle near flammable materials.The exhaust system and exhaust gases
can be extremely hot. These hot parts may cause a fire if there is any flamma-ble material nearby.
●During normal driving, do not turn off the engine <hybrid system>. Turning
the engine <hybrid system> off while driving will not cause loss of steering or braking control, however, power
assist to the steering will be lost. This will make it more difficult to steer smoothly, so you should pull over and
stop the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do so. In the event of an emergency, such as if
it becomes impossible to stop the vehi- cle in the normal way: P.360
●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.173, 179)
●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.
■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, resulting in an accident.
●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.

4-1. Before driving
WARNING
■When the vehicle is stopped
●LC500: Do not race the engine.
If the shift position is any position other than P or N, the vehicle may acceler-ate suddenly and unexpectedly, caus-
ing an accident. LC500h: Do not depress the acceler-ator pedal unnecessarily.
If the shift position is any position other than P or N, the vehicle may acceler-ate suddenly and unexpectedly, caus-
ing an accident.
●LC500: 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 parking brake as necessary.LC500h: In order to prevent acci-
dents due to the vehicle rolling away, always keep depressing the brake pedal while stopped with the
“READY” indicator is illuminated, and apply the parking 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 cigarette 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.
