engine has been stopped in an emer-
gency while driving

■ For the shift lever
● Do not remove the shift lever knob or
use anything but a genuine Lexus shift
lever knob. Also, do not hang anything
on the shift lever.
Doing so could prevent the shift lever
from returning to position, causing
unexpected accidents to occur when
the vehicle is in motion.
● In order to prevent the shift position
from accidentally being changed, do
not touch the shift lever when not using
