CHECKING BRAKE FLUID

GS300
To check the fluid level, simply look at the seethrough
reservoir. The level should be between the ”MAX” and
”MIN” lines on the tank. It is normal for the brake fluid level to go down slightly as the
brake pads wear or when the fluid level in the accumulator is
high.
If the level is low, take your vehicle to a Lexus dealer as
soon as possible. Do not drive your vehicle if the brake
system warning light (red) is on. Call a Lexus dealer for
assistance.
If the fluid level goes down soon after your vehicle is
serviced, it may indicate a serious mechanical problem.
Have your vehicle checked by your Lexus dealer.
CAUTION
Brake
fluid can harm your hands or eyes. If fluid gets on
your hands or in your eyes, flush the affected area with
clean water immediately. If you still feel uncomfortable
with your hands or eyes, go to the doctor.
NOTICE
If brake fluid is spilled on the vehicle, be sure to wipe it
off to prevent damage to parts or paint.

Wheel selection
When replacing wheels, care should be taken to ensure
that they are equivalent to those removed in load capacity,
diameter, rim width, and offset.
Correct replacement wheels are available at your Lexus
dealer.
A wheel of a different size or type may adversely affect
handling, wheel and bearing life, brake cooling,
speedometer/odometer calibration, stopping ability, headlight
aim, bumper height, vehicle ground clearance, and tire or snow
chain clearance to the body and chassis.
CAUTION
Observe the following instruction. Otherwise, an
accident may occur resulting in death or serious
injuries.
 Do not use wheels other than the manufacturer’s
recommended size, as this may cause dangerous
handling characteristics resulting in loss of control.
ALUMINUM WHEEL PRECAUTIONS
When installing aluminum wheels, check that the wheel
nuts are tight after driving your vehicle the first 1600 km
(1000 miles).
 If you have rotated, repaired, or changed your tires, check
that the wheel nuts are still tight after driving 1600 km (1000
miles).
 When using tire chains, be careful not to damage the
aluminum wheels.
 Use only Lexus wheel nuts and wrench designed for your
aluminum wheels.
 When balancing your wheels, use only Lexus balance
weights or equivalent and a plastic or rubber hammer.
 As with any wheel, periodically check your aluminum
wheels for damage. If damaged, replace immediately.
