F. ROAD TEST
A comprehensive road test is vital in order to ensure that a perfect automobile is deliv-
ered to a 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 va-
riety of other conditions that must be corrected prior to delivery.
NOTE:
Make sure protective covers are in place on the seats and carpet prior to start-
ing the road test.
