CAUTION
■The rear height control air suspension must be turned off
Be sure to observe the following precautions. Otherwise, the automatic leveling func-
tion may cause vehicle height to change, an
d you may catch part of your body in the
vehicle, resulting in an accident:
●When jacking up the vehicle, installing tire chains or tying the vehicle with chains/
wires for transportation via flatbed truck, tu rn off the rear height control air suspen-
sion and stop the engine.
●When the vehicle must be towed or disconnecting a trailer, put the vehicle height in N
mode and turn off the rear height control air suspension.
●When the vehicle is stuck, turn off the rear height control air suspension.
■Selecting the correct height mode
●HI mode should only be used when drivin g on rough roads, for example when driving
off-road.
Because the vehicle’s center of gravity will become higher when in the mode, the
vehicle may become unstable when turn ing abruptly, resulting in an accident.
●Do not select HI mode when loading cargo on the roof luggage carrier.
Because the vehicle’s center of gravity will become higher when in the mode, the
vehicle may become unstable when turn ing abruptly, resulting in an accident.
●Before lowering vehicle height, check that there is no one under the vehicle.
NOTICE
■Be careful in any place where overhead space is limited
The vehicle height will rise when a higher mode is selected or cargo is unloaded. This
may cause damage to the vehicle.
■Do not select LO mode when driving on bumpy roads
If the underbody of the vehicle touches a rugged road surface, the vehicle may be
damaged.
■Changing vehicle height
Do not change vehicle height frequently.
The compressor may overheat and stop operation.
■When on the extremely uneven roads with rocks
Sometimes the vehicle height is not adjusted because it is judged as uneven road driv-
ing.

■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 control
system will stop operating, a buzzer will sound and the downhill assist control system
indicator will start flashing, and the “TRAC O FF” will be shown on the multi-information
display. Refrain from using the system until the downhill assist control system indicator
stays on and the message goes off. (The vehicl e can be driven normally during this time.)
■Sounds and vibrations caused by the downhill assist control system
●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 downhill assist control system.
●Either of the following condit ions may occur when the downhill assist control system 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 downhill assist control system indicator does not come on when the engine switch
is turned to IGNITION ON mode.
●The downhill assist control system indicato r 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.
CAUTION
■When using downhill assist control system
Do not rely overmuch on the downhill assist control system. This function does not
extend the vehicle’s performance limitations. Always thoroughly check the road condi-
tions, and drive safely.
■The system may not operate on the following surfaces, which may lead to an accident
causing death or serious injury
●Slippery surfaces such as wet or muddy roads
●Icy surface
●Unpaved roads

■Automatic mode for air intake control (veh icles with rear air conditioning system)
In automatic mode, the system detects exhaust gas and other pollutants and automati-
cally switches between outside air and recirculated air modes.
When the dehumidification function is off, and the fan is operating, turning automatic
mode on will activate the dehumidification function.
■When the outside temperature is low
The dehumidification function may not operate even when “A/C” is touched.
■Ventilation and air conditioning odors
●To let fresh air in, set the air conditio ning system to the outside air mode.
●During use, various odors from inside and outside the vehicle may enter into and accu-
mulate in the air conditioning system. This may then cause odor to be emitted from the
vents.
●To reduce potential odors from occurring:
• It is recommended that the air conditioning system be set to outside air mode prior to turning the vehicle off.
• The start timing of the blower may be dela yed for a short period of time immediately
after the air conditioning system is started in automatic mode.

which can limit the ability to reach the resp onse center or receive emergency service
support. Enrollment and Telematics Subscr iption Service Agreement required. A vari-
ety of subscription terms is available; ch arges vary by subscription term selected.

■Languages
The Safety Connect resp
onse center will offer support in multiple languages. The Safety
Connect system will offer voice prompts in English and Spanish. Please indicate your lan-
guage of choice when enrolling.
■When contacting the response center
You may be unable to contact the resp onse center if the network is busy.
When the engine switch is turned to IGNITION ON mode, the red indicator
light comes on for 2 seconds then turns off. Afterward, the green indicator light
comes on, indicating that the service is active.
The following indicator light patterns indicate specific system usage conditions:
●Green indicator light on = Active service
●Green indicator light flashing = Safety Connect call in process
●Red indicator light (except at vehicle start-up) = System malfunction (contact
your Lexus dealer)
●No indicator light (off) = Safety Connect service not active
■Automatic Collis ion Notification
In case of either airbag deployment or severe rear-end collision, the system is
designed to automatically call the response center. The responding agent
receives the vehicle’s location and attempts to speak with the vehicle occu-
pants to assess the level of emergency. If the occupants are unable to commu-
nicate, the agent automatically treats the call as an emergency, contacts the
nearest emergency services provider to describe the situation, and requests
that assistance be se nt to the location.
