Exhaust gas precautions
Harmful substance to the human
body is included in exhaust gases if
inhaled.
WARNING
Exhaust gases include harmful carbon
monoxide (CO), which is colorless and
odorless. Observe the following precau-
tions.
Failure to do so may cause exhaust gases
enter the vehicle and may lead to an
accident caused by light-headedness, or
may lead to death or a serious health
hazard.
■Important points while driving
●Keep the trunk lid closed.
●If you smell exhaust gases in the vehi-
cle even when the trunk lid is closed,
open the windows and have the vehi-
cle inspected at your Lexus dealer as
soon as possible.
■When parking
●If the vehicle is in a poorly ventilated
area or a closed area, such as a
garage, stop the engine tem>.
●Do not leave the vehicle with the
engine running ing> for a long time.
If such a situation cannot be avoided,
park the vehicle in an open space and
ensure that exhaust fumes do not enter
the vehicle interior.
●Do not leave the engine running
in an area
with snow build-up, or where it is
snowing. If snowbanks build up around
the vehicle while the engine is running
, exhaust
gases may collect and enter the vehi-
cle.
■Exhaust pipe
The exhaust system needs to be checked
periodically. If there is a hole or crack
caused by corrosion, damage to a joint
or abnormal exhaust noise, be sure to
have the vehicle inspected and repaired
by your Lexus dealer.
