THINGS TO NOTE

*Racing precaution: Always wear safety belts. After ensuring vehicle is in proper operating condition and

following race-track safety practices, only race vehicle on a race track after undergoing proper training,

taking appropriate precautions and complying with all legal requirements. Even on a race track, drivers

race at their own risk with the understanding that accident and serious injury may result.

Carbon Ceramic Material

(CCM) Brake Discs

Be careful not to subject the CCM

brake discs to any kind of strong

impact. Even if there is no obvious

damage, have the vehicle inspected

by your Lexus dealer if any of the

following occur:

•

The vehicle is involved in an

accident that may affect the

suspension or wheels

•

The brake disc sustains an

impact during the removal or

installation of the wheels

•

The brake pads have worn out

and the metal part of the pad is

in contact with the surface of

the brake disc

Heat Treatment for Brakes

For maximum brake performance,

heat-treated brake pads and heat-

treated brake rotors are installed at

the factory. Replacement brake rotors

are heat treated. However, replace-

ment brake pads are not heat treated.

When brake pads are replaced, brake

performance is sufficient and stable

under normal driving conditions.

If maximum brake performance is

required (e.g., for driving more than

125 mph on a race track*), heat-treat-

ment break-in of replacement brake

pads is recommended after pad

replacement. See your Lexus dealer

for details.

Washing and Cleaning

When washing and cleaning your

vehicle, follow the precautions indi-

cated in the

Owner’s Manual

and the

publication entitled

Inside the LFA

(both

found in your glove compartment).

If these precautions are not followed,

the vehicle may be damaged.

Lifting the Wiper

Before lifting the wiper, make sure it is

stopped near the upper reverse posi-

tion. Do not lift the wiper if it is in the

retracted position; this may damage

the wiper blade or front pillar fin.

Premium Master Key

The premium master key for your LFA

is a limited-production key made with

carbon-fiber trim. As a result, replac-

ing this key will cost significantly more

than replacing a regular key. Please

keep this key safe. (For information on
