The braking system is a pressurized system similar to the 1990-1995 Range Rover system. It works a lot like air brakes on a Semi and requires a very careful touch to modulate the braking. You can hear the servo "pumping up" soon after startup (if parked for a good while) if you listen for a little mechanical hum and sometimes you can feel the "kickback" through the pedal if your foot is resting on it when it pressurizes.
Very interesting...the Service Manager at my local Toyota dealer told me that pressuring up noise was attributed to the clutch system. (And in fact the clutch pedal is pretty limp until it's started.) It'd be nice to get the real scoop on this?
