These brakes are designed for high-performance driving. Depending on your driving habits, you may experience more aggressive wear of the brake pads and rotors. The GS 450h also features an advanced, electronically controlled brake-by-wire system. This system controls both the regenerative braking system and the conventional hydraulic braking system. As a result, the brakes may feel different than those on a conventional vehicle. For additional information on your brakes and their operation, refer to your Owner's Manual.
