■ Breaking in your new Lexus
To extend the life of the vehicle, observing the following precautions is recom-
mended:
● For the first 186 miles (300 km):
Avoid sudden stops.
● For the first 621 miles (1000 km):
• Do not drive at extremely high speeds.
• Avoid sudden acceleration.
• Do not drive continuously in low gears.
• Do not drive at a constant speed for extended periods.
■ Drum-in-disc type parking brake system
Your vehicle has a drum-in-disc type parking brake system. This type of brake system
needs bedding-down of the brake shoes periodically or whenever the parking brake
shoes and/or drum are replaced. Have your Lexus dealer perform the bedding
down operation.
■ Operating your vehicle in a foreign country
Comply with the relevant vehicle registration laws and confirm the availability of the
correct fuel. (P. 850)
■ Regarding engine speed when idling
When idling with the shift lever in P or N for an extensive period of time, the engine
speed may rise to approximately 1000 rpm (r/min). This is not a malfunction. After a
set period of time, the engine will return to its previous engine speed.
