■The meters and display illuminate when
The engine switch is in IGNITION ON mode.
■Instrument panel brightness adjustment
●Meters:
The brightness level of the meters when the surroundings are bright (day mode)
and dark (night mode) can be adjusted individually. However, when in day mode,
adjusting the brightness level will also change the brightness level of night mode.
●Clock, air conditioning temperature display and switch lights:
The brightness level of the clock, air conditioning temperature display and switch
lights are linked with the brightness level of meter night mode.
■Light dimmer control (Changing to night mode)
The brightness level of the meter, clock and air conditioning temperature display
lights will change to night mode only wh en the surroundings are dark and the tail
lights are on.
■Automatic adjustment of the brightness level of the meters
The brightness level of the meters will be adjusted automatically according to the
brightness of the surroundings detected by the light sensor. However, the brightness
level of the meters will not be adjusted automatically in the following conditions.
●Day mode: When the brightness of the meter is adjusted to the brightest manually
●Night mode: When the brightness of the meter is adjusted to the brightest or dark-
est manually
■ECO lamp and SPORT lamp
●When all of the following conditions are satisfied and Eco-friendly driving is being
performed, ECO lamp (blue) will illuminate. (ECO lamp will become brighter the
more Eco-friendly your driving is. Also, while the vehicle is stopped or the acceler-
ation exceeds Zone of Eco driving, ECO lamp turns off. ( P. 132) However, when
Eco drive mode is selected, while the vehicle is stopped or the acceleration
exceeds Zone of Eco driving, ECO lamp does not turn off.):
• Driving with the shift lever in D.

taneously controlling the steering and suspension in addition to the
transmission. Suitable for sporty driving.
When in SPORT S mode and the driving mo de select switch is turned to the
right, the “SPORT S+” indicator comes on in the multi-information display.
■Operation of the air conditioni ng system in Eco drive mode
Eco drive mode controls the heating/cooling operations and fan speed of the air
conditioning system to enhance fuel efficiency ( P. 418). To improve air condition-
ing performance, adjust the fan speed or turn off Eco drive mode.
■Sport mode automatic deactivation
Sport mode is automatically deactivated if the engine switch is turned off after driv-
ing in sport mode.

The vehicle height is maintained at the selected level regardless of the
number of occupants and luggage weight.
Turns high mode on/off.
When on, the “HEIGHT HIGH” indi-
cator will come on.
■Operating sound of the air suspension compressor
When the vehicle height is lowered, such as when entering or loading the vehicle, or
high mode is selected, the compressor may operate and a whirring sound may be
heard. This does not indicate a malfunction.
Electronically modul ated air suspension
: If equipped
By independently controlling the damping force of the shock absorbers
for each of the 4 wheels according to the road and driving conditions
and the selected driving mode, this system achieves ride comfort with
superior steering stability, an d ensures good vehicle posture.
In addition, vehicle height can be se lected according to road and driv-
ing conditions.

4004-6. Driving tips
LS460/LS460L_GE (OM50G06E)
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.
●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 wind-
shield.
●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.
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 move the shift lever to P without setting the park-
ing brake. The parking brake may free ze 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.
●If the vehicle is parked without setting the parking brake, confirm that
the shift lever cannot be moved out of P*.
*: The shift lever will be locked if it is attempted to be shifted from P to any other
position without depressing the brake pedal. If the shift lever can be shifted
from P, there may be a problem with the shift lock system. Have the vehicle
inspected by your Lexus dealer immediately.

Driving
LS460/LS460L_GE (OM50G06E)
◆Using Eco drive mode
When using Eco drive mode, the torque corresponding to the accelerator
pedal depression amount can be generate d more smoothly than it is in normal
conditions. In addition, the operation of the air conditioning system (heating/
cooling) will be minimized, improving the fuel economy. ( P. 354)
◆Use of Eco Driving Indicator
The Eco-friendly driving is possible by keeping the bar display of the Eco Driv-
ing Indicator shown in the multi-information display within the Zone of Eco
driving. (  P. 132)
◆Accelerator pedal/brake pedal operation
Drive your vehicle smoothly. Avoid abrupt acceleration and deceleration.
Gradual acceleration and deceleration will help reduce excessive fuel con-
sumption.
◆When braking
Observe conditions in front of and ar ound the vehicle, and estimate your
stopping position. Release the accelerator pedal early and continue coasting.
Use the brake pedal to adjust your stopping position. Make sure to operate
the brake pedal gently.
◆Delays
Repeated acceleration and deceleration, as well as long waits at traffic lights,
will lead to bad fuel economy. Check traffic reports before leaving and avoid
delays as much as possible.
◆Highway driving
Control and maintain the vehicle at a constant speed. Before stopping at a toll
booth or similar, allow plenty of time to release the accelerator pedal and gen-
tly apply the brakes.
Eco-friendly driving tips
For improved fuel economy and reduced CO2 emissions, pay attention to the
following points:

4044-6. Driving tips
LS460/LS460L_GE (OM50G06E)
◆Air conditioning
Use the air conditioning only when necessary. Doing so can help reduce
excessive fuel consumption.
In summer: When the ambient temperature is high, use the recirculated air
mode. Doing so will help to reduce the burden on the air conditioning system
and reduce fuel consumption as well.
In winter: Turn the A/C switch on only when both heating and dehumidifying
are needed, and if only heating is needed, turn the A/C switch off. Turning the
A/C switch on when unnecessary leads to excessive fuel consumption.
◆Performing idling stops
●Avoid unnecessary idling. Stop the engine when parking the vehicle to
reduce excessive fuel consumption, even it is only for a short period of time.
●Except in severe environment, such as when the outside temperature is
extremely low, warming up the engine before driving is unnecessary.
Rather than idling, it is more efficien t to drive the vehicle gently to warm up
each part while avoiding increasing the engine revolutions unnecessarily
and accelerating or decelerating suddenly.
◆Luggage
Carrying heavy luggage will lead to poor fuel economy. Avoid carrying
unnecessary luggage. Installing a large roof rack will also cause poor fuel
economy.
◆Regular maintenance
●Make sure to check the tire inflation pressure frequently. Improper tire
inflation pressure can cause poor fuel economy. Also, as snow tires can
cause large amounts of friction, their us e on dry roads can lead to poor fuel
economy. Use tires that are appropri ate for the season and road condi-
tions.
●Use oil and fluid of the recommended quality, which affect fuel consump-
tion and the life of the vehicle. Also, check oil and fluid periodically.
