LX570_OM_OM60L21U_(U) ■
If the low speed four-wheel drive indicator light or the center differential lock
indicator light blinks ●
If the low speed four-wheel drive indicator light continues to blink when using
the four-wheel drive control switch, stop the vehicle completely, move the shift
lever to “N” and 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 driveshafts from the powertrain and allows the
vehicle to move regardless of the shift po sition. (At this time, the indicator blinks
and the buzzer sounds.)
Therefore, the vehicle is free to roll even if the automatic transmission is in “P”.
You or someone else could be seriously injured. You must complete the shifting of
the transfer mode.
To complete the shifting, stop the vehicle completely, return the shift lever to “N”,
and confirm that the shift was completed (the indicator turns on/off). ●
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 low speed four-wheel drive indicator light or the center differential lock indi-
cator light continues to blink even after attempting the above, there may be a mal-
function in the engine, the brake system or the four-wheel drive system. In this case,
you may not be able to shif t between “H4” and “L4”, and the center differential lock
may not be operable. Have the vehicle inspected by your Lexus dealer immediately.

LX570_OM_OM60L21U_(U) CAUTION■
While driving
Never move the four-wheel drive control switch if the wheels have lost traction.
Doing so may cause an accident resu lting in death or serious injury.■
When the vehicle is parked
If the shift lever is moved before the low speed four-wheel drive indicator turns on/
off, the transfer mode may not be shifte d completely. The transfer mode disengages
both the front and rear driveshafts from the powertrain and allows the vehicle to
move regardless of the shift position. (A t this time, the indicator blinks and the
buzzer sounds.)
Therefore, the vehicle is free to roll even if the automatic transmission is in “P”. You
or someone else could be se riously injured. You must complete the shifting of the
transfer mode. ( P. 3 3 0 )
NOTICE■
To prevent damage to the center differential ●
For normal driving on dry and hard surface roads, unlock the center differential.●
Unlock the center differential after the wheels are out of the ditch or off the slip-
pery or bumpy surface. ●
Do not push the center differential lock/u nlock switch when the vehicle is turning
or when its wheels are spinni ng freely off the ground.
