Lexus Inside Look: Brake Components
Lexus Genuine Brake Pads
What do they do?
-
- When you apply pressure to the brake pedal, the caliper clamps the brake pads against each side of the brake rotor, creating friction and slowing your vehicle down.
- For Lexus drivers in Toronto, this system delivers consistent stopping power, even in challenging weather and road conditions.
- Brake pads must generate the right amount of friction to provide smooth stopping performance with minimal noise while handling Toronto’s diverse driving environment.
When to service?
-
- Brake service should be performed as required based on your driving habits and Toronto’s climate.
- Regular maintenance helps reduce premature wear and prevents abnormal brake noise during brake application.
- If brakes drag, pull, pulsate, or produce unusual noises, contact our service department immediately.
Why service them?
-
- Brake pads are a critical part of your Lexus braking system and are designed to wear with use; wear rates vary by driving conditions.
- Toronto’s exposure to moisture and road salt can cause rust buildup, which may result in brake dragging, pulling, pulsating, or abnormal noise.
- Regular lubrication and cleaning of braking components help ensure proper function, reduce premature wear, and provide smooth braking while minimizing rotor damage.

Brake fluid
- This hydraulic fluid distributes pressure via the master cylinder to the wheels. Contact our service department or your service advisor for appropriate brake fluid service intervals for your Lexus vehicle.
Disc brake
- When the brakes are applied, the caliper clamps the brake pads against both sides of the rotor, which slows the rotation of the front wheels.
Brake booster
- Increases the force applied to the brake master cylinder in response to the driver’s pressure on the brake pedal.
Master cylinder
