Extra high mode
If the vehicle becomes stuck or the Craw l Control system requests the vehicle
height be raised, extra high mode may be automatically selected when the vehicle
height is in high mode with the four-wheel drive control switch in the “L4” position.
The vehicle height is raised to 0.8 in. (20 mm) higher than the high mode height, or
slightly higher. ●
Extra high mode will change back to high mode when:
• The vehicle speed exceeds 6 mph (10 km/h)
• The four-wheel drive control switch is shifted to “H4”. ●
If you pull the height select switch to “ ” when in extra high mode, normal mode
is selected. ●
Extra high mode cannot be manually selected.■
Turning off the height control ●
The system will rema in off until the height contro l OFF switch is pushed again,
even if the “ENGINE START STOP” switch is turned off. ●
Even if the system is turned off, the sy stem automatically modulated if the vehi-
cle speed exceeds following.
• 18 mph (30 km/h) with high or low mode
• 50 mph (80 km/h) with normal mode

Automatic leveling function
The vehicle is adjusted to a fixed height for each mode, regardless of the number of
occupants and the luggage load. ●
However the vehicle cannot be raised if the vehicle load exceeds the following
limits:
• Up to 4 occupants
* plus approximately 661 lb. (300 kg) in the normal mode
• Up to 4 occupants
* plus approximately 441 lb. (200 kg) in the high mode
* : average weight 150 lb. (68 kg) per person●
If the vehicle height cannot be raised when in the normal mode, and “LO”
appears on the display, the vehicle is loaded too heavily. Take extra care when
driving in this condition.
If the vehicle height cannot be raised ev en after unloading the vehicle, pull the
height select switch to “ ” then push to “ ”. If the vehicle height still cannot be
raised, turn the ignition off then on again, then try once more.■
When the vehicle is st opped during driving
The activation of the automatic leveling function may cause the vehicle height to
change. This is not a malfunction. ■
If the vehicle height does not change
If the vehicle is loaded too heavily, or the undercarriage has come into contact with
the road surface, the vehicle height cannot be raised/lowered. ■
In the following cases the 4-Wheel AHC will not operate ●
The brake pedal has been depressed for a few seconds or longer while the vehi-
cle is stopped. ●
Vehicle height control has not been frequently used. ●
The suspension fluid temperature is lower than -22°F (-30°C). ●
There is ice on the suspension. ●
Driving on bumpy roads which may caus e the suspension to fully elongate.●
If the steering wheel is abruptly turned more than 3/4 of a revolution with the
center differential lock system activated.

Cold weather operation
It may take longer for the vehicle height to change if the suspension fluid tempera-
ture drops below 5°F (-15°C).
The 4-Wheel AHC does not operate when the suspension fluid temperature drops
below -22°F (-30°C). ●
In this case, even if the height select switch is pressed, the vehicle height will not
change. Once the vehicle has been driven for a short time and the suspension
fluid has been warmed to within normal operating limits, the 4-Wheel AHC will
begin operating and the vehicle height wi ll automatically change to the selected
mode. ●
When the suspension fluid is around -22°F (-30°C), the vehicle height may not
be able to be raised, even if the 4-Wheel AHC is operating. In this case, pull the
height select switch to “ ” then push to “ ” after driving for a short time longer
to select the desired vehicle height.■
Parking and stopping tips ●
If you immediately stop the engine after off-road driving, the vehicle height may
gradually lower. When parking, make su re there is nothing under the vehicle
that may come in contact with the underbody. The vehicle will return to the set
height when the engine is started. ●
The vehicle height may change as the temperature changes when the engine is
stopped. The vehicle will return to the set height when the engine is started.■
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 stop ped, you may hear a sound caused by the
expansion and contraction of the propeller shaft. This does not 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 the 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 message continues to be displayed, have the
vehicle checked at your Lexus dealer as soon as possible.

When driving
LX570_OM_OM60L96U_(U) CAUTION■
Driving with snow tires
Observe the following precautions to reduce the risk of accidents.
Failing to do so may result in a loss of vehicle control and cause death or serious
injury. ●
Use tires of the size sp ecified for your vehicle.●
Maintain the recommended level of tire inflation pressure. ●
Do not drive in excess of 75 mph (120 km/h ), regardless of the type of snow tires
being used. ●
Snow tires should be in stalled on all wheels.■
Driving with tire chains
Observe the following precautions to reduce the risk of accidents.
Failing to do so may result in the vehicle being unable to be driven safely, and may
cause death or serious injury. ●
Do not drive in excess of the speed limit specified for the tire chains being used or
30 mph (50 km/h), whichever is lower. ●
Avoid driving on bumpy road surfaces or over potholes. ●
Avoid sudden acceleration, abrupt steering, sudden braking and shifting opera-
tions that cause sudden engine braking. ●
Slow down sufficiently before entering a curve to ensure that vehicle control is
maintained.■
When installing tire chains
Turn off the vehicle height control.
The vehicle height may change due to the automatic leveling function and you may

After the trailer swaying has stopped:
• Stop in a safe place. Get all occupants out of the vehicle.
• Check the tires of the vehicle and the trailer.
• Check the load in the trailer.
Make sure the load has not shifted.
Make sure the tongue weight is appropriate, if possible.
• Check the load in the vehicle.
Make sure the vehicle is not overloaded after occupants get in.
If you cannot find any problems, the sp eed at which trailer swaying occurred is
beyond the limit of your partic ular vehicle-trailer combination.
Drive at a lower speed to prevent instability. Remember that swaying of the towing
vehicle-trailer increase s as speed increases.
CAUTION■
Trailer towing precautions ●
To tow a trailer safely, use extreme care and drive the vehicle in accordance with
the trailer’s characteristics and operating conditions. Failure to do so could cause
an accident resulting in death or seriou s injury. Vehicle stab ility and braking per-
formance are affected by trailer stability, brake setting and performance, and the
hitch. Your vehicle will handle d ifferently when towing a trailer.●
Set the vehicle height to the “LO” mode and turn off the 4-Wheel AHC when
you connect a trailer, otherwise the vehicle height may change due to the auto-
matic leveling function, and you may catch part of your body in the vehicle, result-
ing in an accident. ( P. 320)
