2-4. Using other driving systems
■Advice for driving on slippery roads in “L” (low speed position)
●If you shift the four-wheel drive control lever to “L” and the shift lever to “2” while
driving in steep off-road areas, the output of the brake can be controlled effec-
tively by the active traction control system, which assists the driver to control the
driving power of 4 wheels.
●Use the “L” position of the shift lever for maximum power and traction when
your wheels get stuck or when you drive down a steep incline. In the following
cases, the output of the brake can be co ntrolled by the active traction control
system if the engine speed is un der 3,000 rpm (normally under 3,000 rpm
when the wheels get unstuck).
• The four-wheel drive control lever in the “L” position and the shift lever in the
“L” position or the shift lever in the “D”, “4”, “3” or “2” with the transmission
downshifting to first gear.
• The four-wheel drive control lever in the “L” position and the shift lever in the
“R” position.
■The center differential lock/unlock button can be operated when
●The ignition key is in the “ON” position, and
●The four-wheel drive control lever is in the “H” or “L” position.
■Locking /unlocking the center differential
●When the center differential is locked, VSC (vehicle stability control) is auto-
matically turned off. (Center differenti al lock and “VSC OFF” indicator light
come on.)
●When the operation is not completed, th e center differential lock indicator
blinks. If the indicator light does not go off when unlocking the center differen-
tial, drive straight ahead while accelerating or decelerating, or drive in reverse.
●The center differential lock system operation is not completed within 5 seconds
while the cruise control system is set, cancel the cruise control system.

Safety information for the Lexus Link System
Important! Read this information before using the Lexus Link System. ■Exposure to radio frequency signals
The Lexus Link System installed in your vehicle is a low power ratio trans-
mitter and receiver. When the ignition switch is in the “ON” position, it
receives and also sends radio frequency (RF) signals.
In August 1996, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
adopted RF exposure guidelines with safety levels fo r mobile wireless
phones. Those guidelines are consistent with the safety standards previ-
ously set by both U.S. and international standards bodies.
● ANIS (American National Standards Institute) C95.1 [1992]
● NCRP (National Council on Radi ation Protection and Measurement)
Report 86 [1986]
● ICNIRP (International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Pro-
tection) [1996]
Those standards were based on comp rehensive and periodic evaluations
of the relevant scientific literature. Over 120 scientists, engineers, and
physicians from universities, government health agencies, and industry
reviewed the available body of resear ch to develop the ANSI Standard
(C95.1).
The design of the Lexus Link System complies with the FCC guidelines in
addition to those standards.

■Lexus Link transceiver antenna
●Use only the supplied or an approved antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifi-
cations, or attachments could damage the Lexus Link System and may violate
FCC regulations.
CAUTION
■FCC WARNING
Changes or modifications in construction not expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate the equip-
ment.
Radio Frequency Exposure. This device is approved for Mobile Application only
and, to comply with applicable FCC radi o frequency exposure regulations, must be
used with a distance of at least 7.9 in. (20 cm) between the antenna and the body of
any person at all time during use.
■Caution regarding interference with electronic devices
Persons using medical devices such as a pacemaker should not touch or come in
close contact with the antenna while the vehicle ignition is on. Otherwise, the cellu-
lar signals may cause a malfunction in the medical devices.
NOTICE
■To avoid damage to the system
●Do not touch the antenna unless necessary, as this may affect transceiver quality
and may cause the unit to operate at a higher power level than necessary.
●Make sure the antenna is removed before driving through an automatic car wash.
■To ensure the Lexus Link System functions correctly
Be sure to reattach the Lexus Link transceiver antenna.
●Before using an automatic car wash,
disconnect the antenna by unscrewing
it from the roof mount.
When you remove the antenna, make
sure the ignition is turned off.
