Inspect the tires for even wear and adequate tread depth. Ensure that all lights are functioning correctly, including headlights, taillights, and brake lights.

About the Lexus RX 450h
The Lexus RX450h is available with a hybrid powertrain that delivers both impressive fuel efficiency and the smooth performance Lexus is known for. Inside, you'll find a spacious, opulently-appointed cabin made from high-quality materials. For an enhanced audio experience, consider models with the Mark Levinson sound system. However, like any vehicle, it requires regular servicing to maintain its peak performance.
Owners should be aware of key maintenance intervals; for instance, the brake components often require inspection and possible replacement every 30,000 to 50,000 kilometers. To ensure safety and reliability, front and rear brake services should be prioritized as part of your vehicle's upkeep. Additionally, keeping the cooling system in check is vital around the 150,000km mark—be sure to inspect the water pump, thermostat, and radiator hoses regularly. All this attention to detail guarantees your RX will remain as smooth and stylish as the day you drove it off the lot. [Link to service packs for Brake Service and Cooling System Service]
