Arjuna Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 Dear friends My lexus RX400H is a Japanese one with warnings coming in Japanese. I have clocked 33,000KMs. Occasionally the Red Triangle(Not the brake signs) lights up and beeps when the SUV is on D, brakes fully pressed and stationed. Both occasions I noticed it when I stopped the car for my wife to get down while I was on D after about 8-10KMs of a run. After about 15 Secs it goes away when I start moving. The message in Japanese is not the same as a Triangle warning when the key is out of range after a start. 1. I just want to know whether anyone has experienced this and willing to give a tip or advice. 2. It is great if there is a site where the messages are translated. 3. I had a Merc before and on red dash warnings you are suppose to stop. Yellows are informative and you can proceed. Are the Red Triangle warnings meant to stop and visit a dealer for RX?

RX400h Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 What year is your vehicle? My guess is that it is either a "maintenence required" notice (time to change the oil and oil filter) or if your vehicle is 5 years old and still has its original 12 volt battery, it's time to replace it with a new one. The tattle-tale sign that the battery is getting weak is a message that tells you to place the shifter in Park, even though it already is in Park.

Arjuna Posted June 26, 2011 Author Share Posted June 26, 2011 You may be right. It is a 2007 RX 400h. Thanks for the tip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
