When driving

CAUTION
On vehicles with an automatic transmission, do not shift the shift lever to
P while the vehicle is moving.
Doing so can damage the transmission and may result in a loss of vehicle
control.
Do not shift the shift lever to R while the vehicle is moving forward.
Doing so can damage the transmission and may result in a loss of vehicle
control.
Do not shift the shift lever to D (vehicles with an automatic transmission)
or 1 (vehicles with a manual transmission) while the vehicle is moving
backward.
Doing so can damage the transmission and may result in a loss of vehicle
control.
Moving the shift lever to N while the vehicle is moving will disengage the
engine from the transmission. Engine braking is not available when N is
selected.
During normal driving, do not turn off the engine. Turning the engine off
while driving will not cause loss of steering or braking control, but the
power assist to these systems will be lost. This will make it more difficult
to steer and brake, so you should pull over and stop the vehicle as soon as
it is safe to do so.
However, in the event of an emergency, such as if it becomes impossible
to stop the vehicle in the normal way: P. 5 3 1
Use engine braking (downshift) to maintain a safe speed when driving
down a steep hill.
Using the brakes continuously may cause the brakes to overheat and lose
effectiveness. (P. 161)
When stopped on an inclined surface, use the brake pedal and parking
brake to prevent the vehicle from rolling backward or forward and causing
an accident.
Do not adjust the position of the steering wheel, the seat, or the inside or
outside rear view mirrors while driving.
Doing so may result in a loss of vehicle control that can cause accidents
that may result in death or serious injury.
Always check that all passengers' arms, heads or other parts of their bod-
ies are not outside the vehicle, as this may result in death or serious injury.

2-3. Operating the lights and windshield wipers
2
When driving
IS250/220d/200d_EE
The windshield wipers and washer can be operated when
The “ENGINE START STOP” switch is in IGNITION ON mode.
Effects of vehicle speed on wiper operation
Vehicle speed affects the following even when the wipers are not in
“AUTO” mode.
Intermittent wiper interval
Wiper operation when the washer is being used (delay until drip preven-
tion wiper sweep occurs)
Low speed wiper operation selected, wiper operation will be switched from
low speed to intermittent wiper operation only when the vehicle is station-
ary.
(However, the mode cannot be switched when the adjustment dial for the
intermittent wiper interval is set to the lowest setting.)
Raindrop sensor (vehicles with rain-sensing windshield wipers)
If the wiper switch is turned to “AUTO” position while the “ENGINE
START STOP” switch is in IGNITION ON mode, the wiper will operate
once to show that auto mode is activated.
If the temperature of the raindrop sensor is 90C (194F) or higher, or -
30C (-22F) or lower, automatic operation may not occur. In this case,
operate the wipers in any mode other than “AUTO”.
Outside rear view mirror defogger activation linked to windshield wiper
operation
The outside rear view mirror defogger automatically turns on when you
operate the windshield wipers.
The sensor judges the amount of rain-
drops.

When driving
IS250/220d/200d_EE
Break-in schedule
Lexus recommends that vehicles fitted with new power train components
should not be used for towing trailers for the first 800 km (500 miles).
Maintenance
Maintenance must be performed more frequently when using the vehicle
for towing due to the greater weight burden placed on the vehicle com-
pared to normal driving.
Retighten all bolts securing the hitching ball and bracket after towing for
approximately 1000 km (600 miles).
Safety checks before towing
Check that the maximum load limit for the towing hitch/bracket hitch
ball is not exceeded. Bear in mind that the coupling weight of the trailer
will add to the load exerted on the vehicle. Also make sure that you will
not be towing a load that exceeds the maximum permissible axle capac-
ity.
Ensure that the trailer load is secure.
Supplementary outside rear view mirrors should be added to the vehicle
if the traffic behind cannot be clearly seen with standard mirrors. Adjust
the extending arms of these mirrors on both sides of the vehicle so that
they always provide maximum visibility of the road behind.
NOTICE
When the rear bumper strengthening material is aluminum
Ensure the steel bracket part does not come directly in contact with that
area.
When steel and aluminum come into contact, there is a reaction similar to
corrosion, which will weaken the section concerned which may result in
damage. Apply a rust inhibitor to parts that will come in contact when
attaching a steel bracket.
When installing a towing harness to the vehicle
To prevent inoperative stop lights and damage to the vehicle stop light wir-
ing, take care when connecting a trailer harness to the vehicle. A relay with
a separate power source must be added to limit the current draw on the vehi-
cle stop light wiring.
