2-1. Driving procedures

NOTICE

■

When driving the vehicle

●

Do not depress the accelerator and brake pedals at the same time during driving.

If the brake pedal is depressed while driving with the accelerator pedal

depressed, driving torque may be restrained.

●

Do not use the accelerator pedal or depress accelerator and brake pedals

together to hold the vehicle on a hill.

■

When parking the vehicle

Always put the shift lever in “P”. Failure to do so may cause the vehicle to move or

the vehicle may accelerate suddenly if the accelerator pedal is accidentally

depressed.

■

Avoiding damage to vehicle parts

●

Do not turn the steering wheel fully in either direction and hold it there for a long

time.

Doing so may damage the power steering pump.

●

When driving over bumps in the road, drive as slowly as possible to avoid damag-

ing the wheels, underside of the vehicle, etc.

■

If you hear a squealing or scraping noise (brake pad wear limit indicators)

Have your Lexus dealer check and replace the brake pads as soon as possible.

The rotor damage can result if the pads are not replaced when needed.

It is dangerous to drive the vehicle when the wear limits of the brake pads and/or

that of the brake discs are exceeded.
