Refueling the vehicle
Observe the following precautions while refueling the vehicle.
Failure to do so, may result in death or serious injury.●
Touch the vehicle or some other metal surf ace to discharge any static electricity.
Sparks resulting from discharging static electricity may cause the fuel vapors to
ignite. ●
Always hold the grips on the fuel tank cap and turn it slowly to remove it.
A whooshing sound may be he ard when the fuel tank cap is loosened. Wait until
the sound cannot be heard befo re fully removing the cap.
In hot weather, pressurized fuel may spray out of the filler neck and cause injury. ●
Do not allow anyone that has not discharged static electricity from their bodies to
come close to an open fuel tank. ●
Do not inhale vaporized fuel.
Fuel contains substances that are harmful if inhaled. ●
Do not smoke while refueling the vehicle.
Doing so may cause the fuel to ignite and cause a fire. ●
Do not return to the vehicle or touch an y person or object that is statically
charged.
This may cause static electricity to build up , resulting in a possible ignition hazard.■

3942-5. Driving information
LX570_OM_OM60L96U_(U) ● Avoid jerky starts or sudden acceleration.
● Avoid jerky steering and sharp turn s, and slow down before making a
turn.
● Note that when making a turn, the trailer wheels will be closer than the
vehicle wheels to the inside of th e turn. Compensate by making a
wider than normal turning radius.
● Slow down before making a turn, in crosswinds, on wet or slippery sur-
faces, etc.
Increasing vehicle speed can destabilize the trailer.
● Take care when passing other vehi cles. Passing requires considerable
distance. After passing a vehicle, do not forget the length of your
trailer, and be sure you have plenty of room before changing lanes.
● To maintain engine braking efficie ncy and charging system perfor-
mance when using engine braking, do not put the transmission in “D”.
If in the S mode, the transmission shift range position must be in 5 or
lower.
● Instability happens more frequently when descending steep or long
downhill grades. Before descending , slow down and downshift. Do not
make sudden downshifts while desc ending steep or long downhill
grades.
● Avoid holding the brake pedal down too long or applying the brakes
too frequently. This could cause the brakes to overheat and result in
reduced braking efficiency.
● Due to the added load of the trail er, your vehicle’ s engine may over-
heat on hot days (at temperatures over 85°F [30°C]) when driving up
a long or steep grade. If the engine coolant temperature gauge indi-
cates overheating, immediately turn off the air conditioning (if in use),
pull your vehicle off the road and stop in a safe spot. (  P. 878)
