DRIVING TIPS
457
When off−road driving cannot be avoided, do not
drive at excessive speeds, jump, make sharp turns,
or strike objects, etc. These maneuvers may result in
loss of control or vehicle rollover causing death or
serious injury. You also risk expensive damage to
your vehicle’s suspension and chassis.
Do not drive horizontally across steep slopes.
Driving straight up or straight down is preferred.
Your vehicle (or any similar off−road vehicle) can tip
over sideways much more easily than forward or
backward.
BREAK−IN PERIOD
Drive gently and avoid high speeds.
You need not follow a break−in schedule with your new Lexus.
But following a few simple tips for the first 1600 km (1000 miles)
can add to the future economy and long life of your vehicle:
Avoid full throttle acceleration when starting and driving.
Avoid racing the hybrid system.
Try to avoid hard stops during the first 300 km (200 miles).
Do not tow a trailer during the first 800 km (500 miles).
