Service Indications

[hansaplast26]

Hi Guys.

In october last year I bought a 2006 Lexus IS250. I like the car but I am a bit surprised about it with regards to servicing.

Last week my brake pads made a howling/annoying noise while braking. turned out that the brake pads were gone and the mechanical indicators started making the noise when getting in touch with the disc. It was not what i expected from a luxury car, but it made me go to the garage quick:-) and it seems to be normal for a japanese car (what i've been told). The manual doesn't say too much about this, I maybe expected an electronic indicator light like in my previous car, a simple vw golf.

Now I am reading further in the manual and I do not see any information in the manual about a service indications. I've now driven 10.000km's and I expect the service interval at 15 or 20.000km's. will the display show me any message if service is coming up? my Golf started indicating with a message 'service in 3000km's'.

what will my lexus tell me?

I have a 2008 IS250 AWD and it does not have any kind of service reminders. I just know to bring it in every 8000 km. You would think that a car of this calibre would have some kind of reminder but it doesn't.

My US version reminds me every 5000 miles that Oil Maintenance is due.

What model and year is your car?

I have a 2006 IS250 and it pops up with the notifications as well. Do you have the nav. system?
