2-5. Driving information

When driving

■

Break-in schedule

If your vehicle is new or equipped with any new power train components (such as

an engine, transmission, differential or wheel bearing), Lexus recommends that you

do not tow a trailer until the vehicle has been driven for over 500 miles (800 km).

After the vehicle has been driven for over 500 miles (800 km), you can start tow-

ing. However, for the next 500 miles (800 km), drive the vehicle at a speed of less

than 50 mph (80 km/h) when towing a trailer, and avoid full throttle acceleration.

■

Maintenance

●

If you tow a trailer, your vehicle will require more frequent maintenance due to

the additional load. (See “Warranty and Services Guide”, “Owner's Manual

Supplement” or “Scheduled Maintenance”.)

●

Retighten the fixing bolts of the towing ball and bracket after approximately

600 miles (1000 km) of trailer towing.
