STARTING AND DRIVING
147 ªABSº warning light
This light comes on when the ignition key is turned to
the ªONº position. After about 3 seconds, the light will
turn off.
If either of the following conditions occurs, this indicates a
malfunction somewhere in the parts monitored by the
warning light system. Contact your Lexus dealer as soon as
possible to service the vehicle.
The light does not come on as described above, or remains
on.
The light comse on while driving.
Even if the anti±lock brake system should fail, the brake
system will still operate conventionally. But when the ªABSº
warning light is on (and the brake system warning light is off),
anti±lock system is not assisting brake performance so that
the wheels could lick up during a sudden brake or braking on
slippery road surfaces. Have your vehicle checked by your
Lexus dealer as soon as possible.
Drum±in±disc type parking brake system
Your vehicle has a drum±in±disc type parking brake system.
This type of brake system needs bedding±down of the brake
shoes periodically or whenever the parking brake shoes
and/or drums are replaced.
Have your Lexus dealer perform the bedding±down.
BRAKE PAD WEAR LIMIT
INDICATORS
The brake pad wear limit indicators on your disc brakes
give a warning noise when the brake pads are worn to
the extent that replacement is required.
If you hear a squealing or scraping noise while driving, have
the brake pads checked and replaced by your Lexus dealer
as soon as possible. Expensive rotor damage can result if
the pads are not replaced when needed.
