Auto parking brake? (Newb)


Sorry for newb question. Picked up 2020 rx350 today and was playing with the parking brake at dealership. I am 99% sure I disengaged before leaving but the brakes smelled like the parking brake was still on. Then when I parked I saw the e brake back on. Was the smell from new brakes being broken in?? Or did I somehow override the auto ebrake?

The auto brake re-applies after you go to Park if it's on auto. Probably just new car smells. If the brake is on (set manually) you get a warning and my experience is the car won't move.

I leave the AUTO setting disabled. I only engage the parking brake on a hill.

Push down on the parking brake button until the auto turns off- takes 5 seconds or so.

My 2020 had the same smell. It isn�t the new car smell but rather it smells like something in the engine that needs to burn off. Goes away after a day of driving.

Happens with most new cars and goes away after a hundred miles or so.

How do you use the emergency brake on a Lexus RX 350?

Operate the shift lever with the brake pedal depressed. The parking brake can be set and released manually. The parking brake indicator light and parking brake light will turn on. Pull and hold the parking brake switch if an emergency occurs and it is necessary to operate the parking brake while driving.

Where is the emergency brake located?

Answer: A parking brake, also called an emergency brake or e-brake, is a mechanical hand lever or foot-operated brake that is a backup braking system. It is located either between the front two seats or to the left of your gas and brake pedal.

How do you turn off the parking brake on a Lexus RX 350?

The parking brake is set or released automatically according to the shift lever operation. Even when in automatic mode, the parking brake can be set and released manually. When the shift lever is moved out of P, the parking brake will be released, and the parking brake indicator light and parking brake light turn off.
