■The wide view front & side monitor can be operated when
●The “ENGINE START STOP” switch is in IGNITION ON mode.
●The vehicle speed is less than approximately 6 mph (10km/h).
■Automatic system cancelation
In the following situations, the system is canceled automatically.
●When the vehicle speed exceeds approximately 7 mph (12 km/h).
●When the shift lever is in P or R.
■When the outside rear view mirrors have been folded
The side monitor screen can be displayed even if the outside rear view mirrors have
been folded. In this case, there will be a slight difference between the image dis-
played when the outside rear view mirrors are extended and when the outside rear
view mirrors have been folded.
If the side monitor is displayed while the outside rear view mirrors are folded, you
cannot check the area near the front edge of the vehicle as the base of the outside
rear view mirrors will be in the way.

■When the four-wheel drive control switch can be operated
●The “ENGINE START STOP” switch is in IGNITION ON mode.
●The shift lever is in the N position.
●The vehicle is stopped completely.
■The low speed four-wheel drive indicator light
●The indicator light blinks while switching between H4 and L4.
●If the low speed four-wheel drive indicator light continues to blink when you
operate the four-wheel drive control switch to the H4 or L4 position, stop the
vehicle completely, shift the shift lever securely into N and then operate the
switch again.
●If the shift lever is moved before the low speed four-wheel drive indicator turns
on/off, the transfer mode may not be shifted completely. The transfer mode dis-
engages both the front and rear drive shafts from the powertrain and allows the
vehicle to move regardless of the shift position. (At this time, the indicator blinks
and the buzzer sounds.)
Therefore, the vehicle is free to roll even if the shift lever is in P. You or someone
else could be seriously injured. You must complete the shifting of the transfer
mode and confirm that the indicator light has turned off (H4) or turned on (L4).
●If the engine coolant temperature is too low, the four-wheel drive control system
may not be able to shift. When the engine is warmer operate the switch again.
If the indicator continue to blink even if doing so, have the vehicle inspected by your
Lexus dealer as soon as possible. There may be a trouble in the four-wheel drive
system.

■When the center differential lock/unlock switch can be operated
The “ENGINE START STOP” switch is in IGNITION ON mode.
■The center differential lock indicator light
●The indicator light blinks while locking/unlocking the center differential.
●If the center differential lock indicator light blinks and the buzzer sounds when
the center differential is locked, stop the slipping or spinning and push the
switch again.
If the indicator continue to blink even if doing so, have the vehicle inspected by your
Lexus dealer as soon as possible. There may be a trouble in the four-wheel drive
system.
■Locking/unlocking the center differential
●When the four-wheel drive control switch is in L4 with the center differential
locked, VSC is automatically turned off. (The center differential lock and VSC
OFF indicator light will come on.)
●If the operation is not completed, the center differential lock indicator blinks. If
the indicator light does not turn off when unlocking the center differential, drive
straight ahead while accelerating or decelerating, or drive in reverse.
●Avoid turning suddenly while the center differential is locked. If you do turn sud-
denly, the difference in turning speeds between the front and rear wheels may
have a similar effect to braking, thus making driving difficult.

■Operating tips
The system will operate when the shift lever is in a position other than P, however to
make effective use of the system it is recommended that the shift lever be shifted to
2 or 1 range of S mode.
■If the four-wheel drive control switch is in H4
The system does not operate.
■When the downhill assist control system is operated continuously
This may cause the brake actuator to overheat. In this case, the downhill assist con-
trol system will stop operating, a buzzer will sound and the DAC indicator will start
flashing, and the TRAC OFF will be shown on the multi-information display. Refrain
from using the system until the DAC indicator stays on and the message goes off.
(The vehicle can be driven normally during this time.)
■Sounds and vibrations caused by the DAC
●A sound may be heard from the engine compartment when the engine is
started or just after the vehicle begins to move. This sound does not indicate that
a malfunction has occurred in DAC.
●Either of the following conditions may occur when the DAC is operating. None
of these are indicators that a malfunction has occurred.
• Vibrations may be felt through the vehicle body and steering.
• A motor sound may be heard after the vehicle comes to a stop.
■System malfunction
●The DAC indicator does not come on when the “ENGINE START STOP”
switch is turned to IGNITION ON mode.
●The “DAC” indicator does not come on when the “DAC” switch is pressed.
●The slip indicator comes on.
In the above cases, have your vehicle checked by your Lexus dealer.
