When driving
LX570_OM_OM60L21U_(U) CAUTION■
When the radar sensor may not be correctly detecting the vehicle ahead
Apply the brakes as necessary when any of the following types of vehicles are in
front of you.
As the sensor may not be able to correctly detect these types of vehicles, the
approach warning (  P. 240) will not be activated, and a fatal or serious accident
may result: ●
Vehicles that cut in suddenly ●
Vehicles traveling at low speeds ●
Vehicles that are not moving ●
Vehicles with small rear ends (tra ilers with no load on board etc.)●
Motorcycles traveling in the same lane■
Conditions under which the vehicle-to-vehicle distance control may not function
correctly
Apply the brakes as necessary in the foll owing conditions as the radar sensor may
not be able to correctly detect vehicles ahead, and a fatal or serious accident may
result: ●
When water or snow thrown up by the surrounding vehicles hinders the function-
ing of the sensor ●
When your vehicle is pointing upwards (caused by a heavy load in the luggage
compartment, etc.) ●
When the road curves or when the lanes are narrow ●
When steering wheel operation or your position in the lane is unstable ●
When the vehicle ahead of you decelerates suddenly

When driving
LX570_OM_OM60L21U_(U) ■ Buzzer operation and distance to an obstacle
A beep sounds when the corner se nsors and rear center sensors are
operating.
● The buzzer beeps faster as the ve hicle approaches an obstacle.
When the vehicle comes within the following distance of the obsta-
cle, the buzzer sounds continuously:
• Front corner sensors: Approximately 0.8 ft. (25 cm)
• Rear corner sensors: Approximately 1.0 ft. (30 cm)
• Rear center sensors: Approximately 1.6 ft. (50 cm)
● When 2 or more obstacles are detected simultaneously, the buzzer
system responds to the nearest obst acle. If one or both come within
the above distances, the beep will repeat a long tone, followed by
fast beeps.
● You can change the volume of the warning beeps. (  P. 255)

The shape of the obstacle may prevent th e sensor from detecting it. Pay particu-
lar attention to the following obstacles:
• Wires, fences, ropes, etc.
• Cotton, snow and other materi als that absorb sound waves
• Sharply-angled objects
•Low obstacles
• Tall obstacles with upper sections projec ting outwards in the direction of your
vehicle●
The following situations may occur during use.
• Depending on the shape of the obstacle and other factors, the detection dis-
tance may shorten, or dete ction may be impossible.
• Obstacles may not be detected if they are too close to the sensor
• There will be a short delay between obstacle detection and display. Even at
slow speeds, there is a possibility that the obstacle will come within the sen-
sor’s detection areas before the display is shown and the warning beep
sounds.
• Thin posts or objects lower than the sensor may not be detected for collision
when approached, even if they have been detected once.
• It might be difficult to hear beeps due to the volume of audio system or air
flow noise of air conditioning system.■

Propeller shaft noise
If the vehicle height is adjusted on a slope, or with the shift lever in a position other
than “P” or “N” while the vehicle is stopped, you may hear a sound caused by the
expansion and contraction of the propeller shaft. This does no t indicate a malfunc-
tion. ■
4-Wheel AHC failure warning
If a malfunction occurs in the 4-Wheel AHC, normal mode is automatically
selected. However, the system may not sw itch to normal mode depending on the
location of the malfunction.
The warning message is displayed on th e multi-information display, and the 4-
Wheel AHC cannot be activated until the malfunction is corrected.
Stop the engine and start it again. If th e warning message turns off, the system is
operating correctly. If the warning messag e continues to be displayed, have the

Sounds and vibrations caused by the Crawl Control system ●
A sound may be heard from the engi ne 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 Crawl Control system. ●
Either of the following conditions may occur when the Crawl 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.■
When there is a malfunction in the system
Warning lights and/or warnin g messages will turn on. (  P. 8 2 2 , 8 4 7 )
CAUTION■
When using Crawl Control and Turn Assist function
Do not rely solely on the Crawl Control an d Turn Assist function. This function does
not extend the vehicle’s performance limitations. Always thoroughly check the road
conditions, and drive safely. ■
These conditions may cause the system not to operate properly
When driving on the following surfaces, th e system may not be able to maintain a
fixed low speed, which may result in an accident: ●
Extremely steep inclines. ●
Extremely uneven surfaces. ●
Snow-covered roads, or other slippery surfaces.
NOTICE■
When using Turn Assist function
The Turn Assist function is a function to assist turning performance when driving off
road. The function may be less effective on paved road surfaces.

LX570_OM_OM60L21U_(U) ■
Situations in which the pre-collision system does not function properly
The system may not function effectively in situations such as the following: ●
On roads with sharp be nds or uneven surfaces●
If a vehicle suddenly moves in front of your vehicle, such as at an intersection ●
If a vehicle suddenly cuts in front of your vehicle, such as when overtaking ●
In inclement weather such as heav y rain, fog, snow or sand storms●
When your vehicle is skidding such as the VSC system off●
When your vehicle is steeply inclined ●
When the axis of the radar is out of adjustment■
Automatic cancelation of the pre-collision system
When a malfunction occurs due to sensor contamination, etc. that results in the
sensors being unable to detect obstacles, the pre-collision system will be automati-
cally disabled. In this case, the system will not activate even if there is a collision pos-
sibility. ■
When there is a malfunction in the system, or if the system is temporarily unus-
able
Warning lights and/or warning messages will turn on or flash. (  P. 8 2 1 , 8 3 2 )
