Important Brake Information
The LS 600h L features an
advanced, electronically controlled
brake-by-wire system. This system
controls both the regenerative
braking system and the conventional
hydraulic braking system. As a result,
the brakes may feel different than
those on a conventional vehicle. For
additional information on your brakes
and their operation, refer to your
Owner's Manual.
