4-1. Before driving
WARNING
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.
When shifting the shift lever
■
Do not let the vehicle roll backward while the shift lever is in a driving position, or roll
●
forward while the shift lever is in R.
Doing so may cause the engine to stall or lead to poor brake and steering perfor-
mance, resulting in an accident or damage to the vehicle.
Do not shift the shift lever to P while the vehicle is moving.
●
Doing so can damage the transmission and may result in a loss of vehicle control.
Do not shift the shift lever to R while the vehicle is moving forward.
●
Doing so can damage the transmission and may result in a loss of vehicle control.
Do not shift the shift lever to a driving position while the vehicle is moving backward.
●
Doing so can damage the transmission and may result in a loss of vehicle control.
Moving the shift lever to N while the vehicle is moving will disengage the engine from
●
the transmission. Engine braking is not available when N is selected.
Be careful not to shift the shift lever with the accelerator pedal depressed. Shifting the
●
shift lever to a gear other than P or N may lead to unexpected rapid acceleration of
the vehicle that may cause an accident and result in death or serious injury.
If you hear a squealing or scraping noise (brake pad wear indicators) (GS350/
■
GS300)
Have the brake pads checked and replaced by your Lexus dealer as soon as possible.
Rotor damage may result if the pads are not replaced when needed.
Front brakes only (F SPORT models, or models for GCC countries
Lebanon): Moderate levels of brake pad and disc wear allow enhanced front braking
power. As a result, the discs may wear more quickly than conventional brake discs.
Therefore, when replacing the brake pads, Lexus recommends that you also have the
thickness of the discs measured.
It is dangerous to drive the vehicle when the wear limits of the brake pads and/or those
of the brake discs are exceeded.
