System maintenance
The vehicle has a maintenance-free type engine immobilizer system. ■
Conditions that may cause the system to malfunction ●
If the key is in contact with a metallic object ●
If the key is in close proximity to or to uching a key to the security system (key
with a built-in transponde r chip) of another vehicleThe vehicle’s keys have built-in tran sponder chips that prevent the engine
from starting if a key has not been prev iously registered in the vehicle’s on-
board computer.
Never leave the keys inside the ve hicle when you leave the vehicle.
This system is designed to help prev ent vehicle theft but does not guar-
antee absolute security aga inst all vehicle thefts.
The indicator light flashes after
the “ENGINE START STOP”
switch has been turned off to

When driving
LX570_OM_OM60L96U_(U) CAUTION■
If a safety system warning light does not come on
Should a safety system ligh t such as Multi Terrain ABS and the SRS airbag warning
light not come on when you start the engine , this could mean that these systems are
not available to help protect you in an accident, which could result in death or seri-
ous injury. Have the vehicle inspected by your Lexus dealer immediately if this
occurs.■ Warning lights
Warning lights inform the driver of malfunctions in any of the vehi-
cle’s systems. (  P. 826)
* 1
: These lights turn on when the “E NGINE START STOP” switch is turned
to IGNITION ON mode to indicate that a system check is being per-
formed. They will turn off after the en gine is started, or after a few sec-
onds. There may be a malfunction in a system if a light does not come on,
or if the lights do not turn off. Have the vehicle inspected by your Lexus
dealer for details.

When driving
LX570_OM_OM60L96U_(U) CAUTION■
Before using dynamic radar cruise control
Do not overly rely on vehicl e-to-vehicle distance control.
Be aware of the set speed. If automatic deceleration/acceleration is not appropri-
ate, adjust the vehicle speed, as well as the distance between your vehicle and vehi-
cles ahead by applying the brakes, etc. ■
Cautions regarding the driving assist systems
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may cause an accident resulting in death or serious injury.●
Assisting the driver to measure following distance
The dynamic radar cruise control is only in tended to help the driver in determin-
ing the following distance between the driver’s own vehicle and a designated
vehicle traveling ahead. It is not a mech anism that allows careless or inattentive
driving, and it is not a system that can assist the driver in low-visibility conditions. It
is still necessary for driver to pay close attention to the vehicle’s surroundings. ●
Assisting the driver to judg e proper following distance
The dynamic radar cruise control dete rmines whether the following distance
between the driver’s own vehicle and a designated vehicle traveling ahead is
appropriate or not. It is not capable of making any other type of judgement.
Therefore, it is absolutely necessary for the driver to remain vigilant and to deter-
mine whether or not there is a possibi lity of danger in any given situation.●
Assisting the driver to operate the vehicle
The dynamic radar cruise control has no capability to prevent or avoid a collision
with a vehicle traveling ahead. Therefore, if there is ever any danger, the driver
must take immediate and direct control of the vehicle and act appropriately in
order to ensure the safety of all involved.■
To avoid inadvertent cruise control activation
Switch the cruise contro l off using the “ON-OFF” button when not in use.

LX570_OM_OM60L96U_(U) ●
The shape of the obstacle may prevent the sensor from detecting it. Pay partic-
ular 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 detection 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 di splay is shown and the warning beep
sounds.
• Thin posts or objects lower than the se nsor may not be dete cted 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.■

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

Sounds and vibrations caused by the Multi Terrain ABS, brake assist, Active
TRAC, VSC, Trailer Sway Control, hill-start assist control and VGRS●
A sound may be heard from the engine 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 any of these systems. ●
Any of the following conditions may oc cur when the above systems are operat-
ing. None of these indicates 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.
• The brake pedal may pulsate slightly after the Multi Terrain ABS is activated.
• The brake pedal may move down slightly after the Multi Terrain ABS is acti-
vated.■
Hill-start assist control is operational when ●
The shift lever is in “D” or “S”. ●
The brake pedal is not depressed.■
VGRS is disabled in the following situations ●
During stopping or the steering wheel has been moved for a long time while
driving at lower speeds. ●
After the engine is restarted at less than -22°F (-30°C).●
If you disconnect the battery with the steering wheel turned, the center position
of the steering wheel could be slightly and temporary changed. To initialize the
VGRS, drive for a short while.

3542-4. Using other driving systems
LX570_OM_OM60L96U_(U) CAUTIONAny of the following conditions may result in an accident which could cause death or
serious injury: ■
The Multi Terrain ABS does not operate effectively when ●
The limits of tire gripping performance have been exceeded (such as excessively
worn tires on a sn ow covered road).●
The vehicle hydroplanes while driving at high speed on a wet or slick road.■
Stopping distance when the Multi Terrain ABS is operating may exceed that of
normal conditions
The Multi Terrain ABS is not designed to shorten the vehicle’s stopping distance.
Always maintain a safe distance from the vehi cle in front of you, especially in the fol-
lowing situations. ●
When driving on dirt, grav el or snow-covered roads●
When driving with tire chains ●
When driving over bumps in the road ●
When driving over roads with potholes or uneven roads■
Active TRAC may not operate effectively when
Directional control and power may not be achievable whil e driving on slippery road
surfaces, even if the Active TRAC is operating.
Do not drive the vehicle in conditions where stability and power may be lost. ■
If the hill-start assist control does not operate effectively
Do not overly rely on the hill-start assist control. The hill-start assist control may not
operate effectively on steep inclines and roads covered in ice.
