 Breaking in your new Lexus
To extend the life of the vehicle, observing the following precautions is rec-
ommended:
 For the first 300 km (186 miles):
Avoid sudden stops.
 For the first 1000 km (621 miles):
• 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 when-
ever the parking brake shoes and/or drum are replaced. Have any authorized
Lexus dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional
perform the bedding down operation.
 Operating your vehicle in a foreign country
Comply with the relevant vehicle registration laws and confirm the availabil-
ity of the correct fuel. (P. 891)
 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 mal-
function. After a set period of time, the engine will return to its previous
engine speed.
