When driving
LX570_OM_OM60L96U_(U) Driving assist systems To help enhance driving safety and performance, the following systems
operate automatically in response to various driving situations. Be aware,
however, that these systems are supplementary and should not be relied
upon too heavily when operating the vehicle.
■ Multi Terrain ABS (Anti-lock Brake System) Helps to prevent wheel lock when the brakes are applied suddenly, or if
the brakes are applied while driving on a slippery road surface, or in off-
road conditions (such as rough roads, sand and mud).
■ Brake assist Generates an increased level of br aking force after the brake pedal is
depressed, when the system detects a panic stop situation.
■ VSC (Vehicle Stability Control) Helps the driver to control skidding when swerving suddenly or turning on
slippery road surfaces.
■ Active TRAC (Traction Control) Helps to maintain driv e power and prevent the 4 wheels from spinning
when starting the vehicle or a ccelerating on slippery roads.
■ Hill-start assist control Helps to prevent the vehicle from ro lling backwards when starting on an
incline or slippery slope.
■ VGRS (Variable Gear Ratio Steering) Helps to adjust the wheel turning an gle in accordance with the vehicle
speed and steering wheel movement.
■ PCS (Pre-Collision System) (if equipped)  P. 357

running ahead of you is greate r than about 19 mph (30 km/h).
• The brake pedal is depressed. ●
AVS
• Vehicle speed is greater than about 4 mph (5 km/h).
• The speed at which your vehicle is ap proaching the obstacle or the vehicle
running ahead of you is greate r than about 19 mph (30 km/h).■
Conditions that may trigger the system even if there is no possibility of collision●
When there is an object by the roadside at the entrance to a curve ●
When passing an oncoming vehicle on a curve ●
When driving over a narrow iron bridge ●
When there is a metal object on the road surface ●
When driving on an uneven road surface (nose up, nose down)●
When passing an oncoming vehicle on a left-turn●
When your vehicle rapidly clos es on the vehicle in front●
When a grade separation/interchange, sign, billboard, or other structure
appears to be directly in the vehicle’s line of travel ●
When climbing a steep hill causes an overhead billboard or other metallic
structure to appear directly in the vehicle’s line of travel ●
When an extreme change in vehicle height occurs ●
When the axis of the radar is out of adjustment ●
When passing through certain toll gates●
When passing through an overpass ●
When passing through a tunnel
When the system is activated in the situations described above there is also a possi-
bility that the seat belts will retract quic kly and the brakes will be applied with a
force greater than normal. When the seat be lt is locked in the retracted position,
stop the vehicle in a safe place, release the seat belt and refasten.

When driving
LX570_OM_OM60L96U_(U) NOTICE■
To prevent the water damage
Take all necessary safety measures to ensure that water damage to the engine or
other components does not occur. ●
Water entering the engine air intake will cause severe engine damage. ●
Water entering the automatic transmission will cause deterioration in shift qual-
ity, locking up of your transmission accompanied by vibration, and ultimately
damage. ●
Water can wash the grease from wheel bearings, causing rusting and premature
failure, and may also enter the differen tials, transmission and transfer case,
reducing the gear oil’s lubricating qualities.■
When you drive through water
If driving through water, such as when crossing shallow streams, first check the
depth of the water and the bottom of the river bed for firmness. Drive slowly and
avoid deep water. ■
Inspection after off-road driving ●
Sand and mud that has accumulated in brake drums and around brake discs may
affect braking efficiency and may damage brake system components.●
Always perform a maintenance inspection after each day of off-road driving that
has taken you through rough terrain, sand, mud, or wa ter. For scheduled mainte-
nance information, refer to the “Warra nty and Services Guide/Owner’s Manual
Supplement/Schedul ed Maintenance”.

Storage precautions
Observe the following precautions.
Failing to do so may result in death or serious injury. ●
Stow cargo and luggage in the lugg age compartment whenever possible.●
Do not stack anything in the luggage compartment higher than the seatbacks.
Such items may be thrown about and possi bly injure people in the vehicle during
sudden braking, sudden swerving or in an accident. ●
Do not place cargo or luggage in or on the following locations as the items may
get under the brake or accelerator peda l and prevent the pedals from being
depressed properly, block the driver’s vi sion, or hit the driver or passengers,
causing an accident.
• Driver’s feet
• Front passenger or rear seats (when stacking items)
•Instrument panel
•Dashboard
• Auxiliary box or tray that has no lid●
Secure all items in the occupant compartm ent, as they may shift and injure some-
one during sudden braking, sudden swerving or an accident. ●
When you fold down the rear seats, long items should not be placed directly
behind the front seats. ●
Never allow anyone to ride in the luggage compartment. It is not designed for
passengers. They should ride in their seats with their se at belts properly fastened.
Otherwise, they are much more likely to suffer death or serious injury, in the
event of sudden braking, sudden swerving or an accident.
