2-5. Driving information n AVS (adaptive variable suspension system) The suspension can be switched for improvement in driveability. (→P. 325) n 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 towing. 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. n Maintenance l If you tow a trailer, your vehicle will require more frequent maintenance due to the additional load. (See "Owner's Guide", "Warranty and Services Guide", "Owner's Manual Supplement" or "Warranty Booklet".) l Retighten the fixing bolts of the towing ball and bracket after approxi- mately 600 miles (1000 km) of trailer towing. n If trailer sway occurs One or more factors (crosswinds, passing vehicles, rough roads, etc.) can adversely affect handling of your vehicle and trailer, causing instability. l If trailer swaying occurs: • Firmly grip the steering wheel. Steer straight ahead. Do not try to control trailer swaying by turning the steering wheel. • Begin releasing the accelerator pedal immediately but very gradually to reduce speed. Do not increase speed. Do not apply vehicle brakes. If you make no extreme correction with the steering or brakes, your vehicle and trailer should stabilize. 390 LX570_U (OM60G53U)
