i thot the 2IS suppose to have this feature to maek the car not roll back on hills.... how come wen i look on lexus.ca and lexus.com now they dun show this feature nemore ... and my 09 IS rolls back :P

 

there's a reason they make a gas pedal.

 

smarty pants

 

Are you talking about starting the engine when the car is parked on an incline?

 

i think he means when the car is at an incline when its a stop light. and when you let off the brake, the car drifts backwards before you hit the gas pedal.

btw, a lot of cars do that.

 

Mine doesn't roll back on steep uphills, when I let go of brake and throttle

 

yes i noticed that, could be a safety feature to protect the gearbox?

 

I loved this feature, I just let go of the gas pedal on a slight incline and i dont move a inch. I first learned about this feature on a 2GS but the other cars i drive dont have this feature.

 

+1

 

I've only seen this feature on German cars..i don't think an intro car like the IS would have it

 

the ISF has it.

 

the 2IS does have it ...
does this mean somethings up with my car?

 

You cant be on a very steep incline. I dont know how it works, but just keep that foot on the brake

 

how do u know it has it?

 

Actually a lot of cars have this including my 2008 Lexus IS250. I know for sure that our 1999 Toyota Solara, a co-worker's 2007 Honda Odyssey, and my friend's 2006 Toyota Prius all does not roll back on an incline.
