If the vehicle is trapped in rising water
● Remove the seat belt first.
● If the door can be opened, open the door and exit the vehicle.
● If the door can not be opened, open the window using the power window
switch and exit the vehicle through the window.
● If the window can not be opened using the power window switch, remain
calm, wait until the water level inside the vehicle rises to the point that the
water pressure inside of the vehicle equals the water pressure outside of the
vehicle, and then open the door and exit the vehicle.
■ How to distinguish laminated glass
In the event the vehicle is submerged in water, remain calm and perform the
following.
■ Using an emergency hammer* for emergency escape
The front side windows and rear side windows, as well as the rear window can be shat-
tered with an emergency hammer
* used for emergency escape.
However, an emergency hammer can not shatter the windshield as it is laminated glass.
*: Contact your Lexus dealer or aftermarket accessory manufacturer for further infor-
mation about an emergency hammer.
■ Escaping the vehicle from the window
There are cases where escaping the vehicle from the window is not possible due to
seating position, passenger body type, etc.
When using an emergency hammer, consider your seat location and the size of the
window opening to ensure that the opening is accessible and large enough to escape.
When looking from the cross-sectional view
point, laminated glass is two sheets of glass
pasted together.
