2-1. Driving procedures CAUTION l Do not adjust the positions of the steering wheel, the seat, or the inside or outside rear view mirrors while driving. Doing so may result in a loss of vehicle control that can cause accidents, resulting in death or serious injury. l Always check that all occupants' arms, heads and other body parts are not out- side the vehicle, as this may result in death or serious injury. n When driving on slippery road surfaces l Sudden braking, acceleration and steering may cause tire slippage and reduce your ability to control the vehicle, resulting in an accident. l Sudden changes in engine speed, such as engine braking caused by up-shifting and down-shifting, may cause the vehicle to skid, resulting in an accident. l After driving through a puddle, lightly depress the brake pedal to make sure that the brakes are functioning properly. Wet brake pads may prevent the brakes from functioning properly. If the brakes on only one side are wet and not functioning properly, steering control may be affected, resulting in an accident. n When operating the paddle shift switches/reverse selector switch Do not operate the paddle shift switches or reverse selector switch with the accelerator pedal depressed and Neutral selected. Doing so may lead to unexpected rapid acceleration of the vehicle that may cause an accident and result in death or serious injury. n If a brake pad wear warning message is displayed Have your Lexus dealer check and replace the brake pads as soon as possible. The disc damage can result if the pads are not replaced when needed. Moderate levels of the brake pad and disc wear allow enhanced braking power. As a result, the discs may wear more quickly than conventional brake discs. Therefore, when replacing the brake pads, Lexus recommends that you also have the thickness of the discs measured. It is dangerous to drive the vehicle when the wear limits of the brake pads and/or those of the brake discs are exceeded. 92
