2-1. Driving procedures

■

Drum-in-disc type parking brake system

Your vehicle has a drum-in-disc type parking brake system.

This type of brake system needs bedding-down of the brake shoes periodically or

whenever the parking brake shoes and/or drums are replaced.

Have your Lexus dealer perform the bedding-down.

■

Operating your vehicle in a foreign country

Comply with the relevant vehicle registration laws and confirm the availability of the

correct fuel. (

CAUTION

■

When starting the vehicle

Always keep your foot on the brake pedal while stopped with the engine running.

This prevents the vehicle from creeping.

■

When driving the vehicle

●

Do not drive if you are unfamiliar with the location of the brake and accelerator

pedals to avoid depressing the wrong pedal.

°

Accidentally depressing the accelerator pedal instead of the brake pedal will

result in sudden acceleration that may lead to an accident that could result in

death or serious injury.

°

When backing up, you may twist your body around, leading to a difficulty in

operating the pedals. Make sure to operate the pedals properly.

°

Make sure to keep a correct driving posture even when moving the vehicle

only slightly, allowing you to depress the brake and accelerator pedals prop-

erly.

° Depress the brake pedal using your right foot. Depressing the brake pedal

using your left foot may delay response in an emergency, resulting in an acci-

dent.
