system.
Check to see if steam is coming out from the engine area.
If you see steam:
Stop the engine and carefully lift the hood.
If you do not see steam:
Leave the engine running and carefully lift the hood.
Remove the engine compartment cover. (P. 555)
Check if the cooling fan is operating.
If the fans are operating:
Wait until the temperature of the engine (shown on the
instrument cluster) begins to fall and then stop the engine.

Stop the engine immediately and call your local Lexus
dealer.
After the engine has cooled
down, check the engine coolant
level and inspect the cooling
