F. ROAD TEST
A comprehensive road test is vital to ensure that a perfect automobile is delivered to each
Lexus customer. We recommend that you map out a specific road test course that includes
a variety of road conditions including stop and go, highway speed and rough road surfaces.
This will help you check for squeaks, rattles, drifts, pulls and a variety of other
conditions that must be corrected prior to delivery.
HINT:
Make sure protective covers are in place on the seats and carpet prior to starting
the road test.
