4-5. Using the driving support systems
■ECB (Electronically Controlled
Brake System)
The electronically controlled system
generates braking force correspond-
ing to the brake operation
■ABS (Anti-lock Brake System)
Helps to prevent wheel lock when the
brakes are applied suddenly, or if the
brakes are applied while driving on a
slippery road surface
■Brake assist
Generates an increased level of brak-
ing force after the brake pedal is
depressed when the system detects a
panic stop situation
■VSC (Vehicle Stability Control)
Helps the driver to control skidding
when swerving suddenly or turning on
slippery road surfaces
■Secondary Collision Brake (if
equipped)
When the airbag sensor detects a colli-
sion, the brakes and brake lights are
automatically controlled to reduce the
vehicle speed and that helps reduce
the possibility of further damage due to
a secondary collision.
■TRC (Traction Control)
Helps to maintain drive power and pre-
vent the drive wheels from spinning
when starting the vehicle or accelerat-
ing on slippery roads
■Hill-start assist control
Helps to reduce the backward move-
ment of the vehicle when starting on an
uphill
■VGRS (Variable Gear Ratio Steer-
ing) (if equipped)
Adjusts the front wheel turning angle in
accordance with the vehicle speed and
steering wheel movement
■DRS (Dynamic Rear Steering) (if
equipped)
Contributes to the turning characteris-
tics and responsiveness of the vehicle
by slightly adjusting the rear wheel
angle of the vehicle in accordance with
steering wheel movement.
■EPS (Electric Power Steering)
Employs an electric motor to reduce
the amount of effort needed to turn the
steering wheel
■AVS (Adaptive Variable Suspen-
sion System)
By independently controlling the
damping force of the shock absorbers
for each of the 4 wheels according to
Driving assist systems
To keep driving safety and perfor-
mance, the following systems oper-
ate automatically in response to
various driving situations. Be aware,
however, that these systems are
supplementary and should not be
relied upon too heavily when oper-
ating the vehicle.

4-6. Driving tips
Perform the following according to the
driving conditions:
 Do not try to forcibly open a window
or move a wiper that is frozen. Pour
warm water over the frozen area to
melt the ice. Wipe away the water
immediately to prevent it from
freezing.
 When the outside door handle is
frozen, unlock the doors using the
wireless remote control. If the out-
side door handles remain retracted
and do not move even if the doors
are unlocked using the wireless
remote control, pour warm water
over the frozen area to melt the ice
and wipe away the water immedi-
ately to prevent it from freezing. The
outside door handle may not retract
due to ice, however, the outside
door handle will return to the nor-
mal position after the ice melts.
 To ensure proper operation of the
climate control system fan, remove
any snow that has accumulated on
the air inlet vents in front of the
windshield.
 Check for and remove any excess
ice or snow that may have accumu-
lated on the exterior lights, vehicle’s
roof, chassis, around the tires or on
the brakes.
 Remove any snow or mud from the
bottom of your shoes before getting
in the vehicle.
■To protect windshield wipers
 P.198
Accelerate the vehicle slowly, keep a
safe distance between you and the
vehicle ahead, and drive at a reduced
speed suitable to road conditions.
Park the vehicle and shift the shift posi-
tion to P without setting the parking
brake. The parking brake may freeze
up, preventing it from being released. If
the vehicle is parked without setting
the parking brake, make sure to block
the wheels.
Failure to do so may be dangerous
because it may cause the vehicle to
move unexpectedly, possibly leading to
an accident.
NOTICE
■Repairing or replacing snow tires
Request repairs or re placement of snow
tires from any authorized Lexus retailer or Lexus authorized repairer, or any reli-able repairer.
This is because the removal and attach- ment of snow tires affects the operation
of the tire pressure warning valves and transmitters.

5-3. Using the air conditioning system
perature setting or the inside temperature.
■Registering air conditioning settings to electronic keys
●Unlocking the vehicle using an electronic key and turning the engine switch <power
switch> to IGNITION ON mode <ON mode> will recall that key’s registered air conditioning settings.
●When the engine switch <power switch> is turned off, the current air conditioning
settings will automatically be registered to the electronic key that was used to unlock the vehicle.
●The system may not operate correctly if more than one electronic key is in the
vicinity or if the smart entry & start system is used to unlock the passenger door.
●The doors that can recall the air condi-
tioning setting* when unlocked using the
smart entry & start system can be changed. For details, contact any autho-rized Lexus retailer or Lexus authorized
repairer, or any reliable repairer.*: The doors that can recall the driving posi-
tion memory are changed at the same
time.
■Operation of the air conditioning sys- tem in Eco drive mode
In Eco drive mode, the air conditioning sys- tem is controlled as follows to prioritize fuel
efficiency:
●Engine speed and compressor operation
controlled to restrict heating/cooling capacity
●Fan speed restricted when automatic mode is selected
To improve air conditioning performance, perform the following operations:
●Adjust the fan speed
●Turn off Eco drive mode ( P.242)
■When the outside temperature falls to
nearly 0°C (32°F)
The dehumidification function may not
operate even when “A/C” is selected.
■Ventilation and air conditioning odors
●To let fresh air in, set the air conditioning
system to the outside air mode.
●During use, various odors from inside and
outside the vehicle may enter into and accumulate in the air conditioning sys-tem. This may then cause odor to be
emitted from the vents.
●To reduce potential odors from occur-
ring: • It is recommended that the air condition-ing system be set to outside air mode
prior to turning the vehicle off. • The start timing of the blower may be delayed for a short period of time imme-
diately after the air conditioning system is started in automatic mode.
●When parking, the system automatically switches to fresh air intake mode to encourage better air circulation through-
out the vehicle, helping to reduce odors that occur when starting the vehicle.
■Air conditioning filter
 P.347
■Customization
Settings (e.g. A/C auto switch operation) can be changed.(Customizable features P.423)
WARNING
■To prevent the windshield from fog- ging up
Do not use the windshield defogger switch during cool air operation in extremely humid weather. The difference
between the temperature of the outside air and that of the windshield can cause the outer surface of the windshield to fog
up, blocking your vision.
■When the outside rear view mirror defoggers are operating
Do not touch the outside rear view mir- ror surfaces, as they can become very hot and burn you.

Maintenance and care
■Notes for a smart entry & start system
If the door handle becomes wet while the
electronic key is within the effective range, the door may lock and unlock repeatedly. In that case, follow the following correction
procedures to wash the vehicle:
●Place the key in a position 2 m (6 ft.) or
more separate from the vehicle while the vehicle is being washed. (Take care to ensure that the key is not stolen.)
●Set the electronic key to battery-saving mode to disable the smart entry & start
system. ( P.124)
■Aluminum wheels

neutral detergent.
●Wash detergent off with water immedi-
ately after use.
●To protect the paint from damage, make
sure to observe the following precau- tions.• Do not use acidic, alkaline or abrasive
detergent • Do not use hard brushes• Do not use detergent on the wheels when
they are hot, such as after driving or park- ing in hot weather
■Brake caliper coating
●When using detergent, use neutral deter-gent. Do not use hard brushes or abra-
