Back door damper stays
The back door is equipped with damper stays that hold the back door in place.
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may cause damage to the back door damper stay, resulting in mal-
function.
■
To prevent back door closer malfunction
Do not apply excessive force to the back door while the back door closer is operat-
ing. ■
To prevent damage to the power back door ●
Make sure that there is no ice between the back door and frame that would pre-
vent movement of the back door. Oper ating the power back door when exces-
sive load is present on the back door may cause a malfunction. ●
Do not apply excessive force to the ba ck door while the power back door is
operating. ●
Take care not to damage the sensors (installed on the right and left edges of the
power back door) with a knife or other shar p object. If the sensor is disconnected,
the power back door will not operate in automatic operation. ●
Do not attach any foreign objects, such as
stickers, plastic sheets, or adhesives to the
damper stay rod. ●
Do not touch the damper stay rod with
gloves or other fabric items. ●
Do not attach any accessories other than
genuine Lexus parts to the back door. ●
Do not place your hand on the damper stay
or apply lateral forces to it.Damper stay

Before driving
LX570_OM_OM60L96U_(U) CAUTION■
Pregnant women
■
People suffering illness
Obtain medical advice and wear the seat belt in the proper way. ■
When children are in the vehicle
Do not allow children to play with the se at belt. If the seat belt becomes twisted
around a child’s neck, it may lead to choking or other serious injuries that could
result in death.
If this occurs and the buckle cannot be unfastened, scissors should be used to cut
the belt. ■
Seat belt pretensioners ●
Do not place anything, such as a cushion, on the front passenger’s seat. Doing so
will disperse the passenger ’s weight, which prevents the sensor from detecting
the passenger’s weight proper ly. As a result, the seat belt pretensioner for the
front passenger’s seat may not activate in the event of a a collision.●
If the pretensioner has activated, the SRS warning light will come on. In that case,
the seat belt cannot be used again and must be replaced at your Lexus dealer.Obtain medical advice and wear the seat belt
in the proper way. (  P. 91)
Women who are pregnant should position
the lap belt as low as possible over the hips in
the same manner as other occupants. Extend
the shoulder belt completely over the shoul-
der and position the belt across the chest.
Avoid belt contact over the rounding of the
abdominal area.
If the seat belt is not worn properly, not only a
pregnant woman, but al so the fetus could suf-
fer death or serious inju ry as a result of sud-
den braking, sudden swerving or a collision.

Before driving
LX570_OM_OM60L96U_(U) Your vehicle is equipped with AD VANCED AIRBAGS designed based
on the US motor vehicle safety stan dards (FMVSS208). The airbag sen-
sor assembly (ECU) co ntrols airbag deploy ment based on information
obtained from the sensors etc. shown in the system components diagram
above. This information includes crash severity and occupant informa-
tion. As the airbags deploy, a chemica l reaction in the inflators quickly fills
the airbags with nontoxic gas to help restrain th e motion of the occu-
pants. ■
If the SRS airbag s deploy (inflate)●
Bruising and slight abrasions may result from contact with a deploying (inflat-
ing) SRS airbag. ●
A loud noise and white powder will be emitted. ●
Parts of the airbag module (steering wh eel hub, airbag cover and inflator) as
well as the front seats, second seats, an d parts of the front, center and rear pil-
lars, and roof side rail, may be hot for se veral minutes. The airbag itself may also
be hot. ●
The windshield may crack. ●
For Safety Connect subscribers, if the SRS airbags deploy or in the event of a
severe rear-end collision, the system is designed to send an emergency call to
the response center, notifying them of th e vehicle’s location (without needing to
push the “SOS” button) and an agent will attempt to speak with the occupants
to ascertain the level of emergency and assistance required. If the occupants
are unable to communicate, the agent auto matically treats the call as an emer-
gency and helps to dispatch the necessary emergency services. (  P. 726)

LX570_OM_OM60L96U_(U) ■
Daytime running light system ●
To make your vehicle more visible to other drivers, the parking lights turn on
automatically (at an increased intensity) whenever the engine is started and the
parking brake is released. Daytime running lights are not designed for use at
night. ●
Compared to turning on the headlights, the daytime running light system offers
greater durability and consumes less electricity, so it can help improve fuel
economy.■
Headlight control sensor
■
Automatic light off system ●
When the headlights are on: The headlight s and tail lights turn off 30 seconds
after a door is opened and closed if the “ENGINE START STOP” switch has
been switched to ACCESSORY or OFF mode. ●
When only the tail lights are on: The tail lights turn off automatically if the
“ENGINE START STOP” switch is sw itched to ACCESSORY or OFF mode
and driver’s door is opened.
To turn the lights on again, turn th e “ENGINE START STOP” switch to IGNITION
ON mode, or turn the light switch off once and then back to the
or
position. The sensor may not function properly if an
object is placed on the sensor, or anything
that blocks the sensor is affixed to the wind-
shield.
Doing so interferes with the sensor detecting
the level of ambient light and may cause the
automatic headlight system to malfunction.

Automatic headlight leveling system
The level of the headlights is automatically adjusted according to the number of
passengers and the loading condition of the vehicle to ensure that the headlights do
not interfere with other road users.■
If the “AFS OFF” indicator flashes
It may indicate a malfunction in th e system. Contact your Lexus dealer.■
Customization
Settings (e.g. light sensor se nsitivity) can be changed.
(Customizable features  P. 912)

When driving
LX570_OM_OM60L96U_(U) Automatic High Beam 
 : If equippedThe Automatic High Beam uses an in-vehicle camera sensor to assess the
brightness of streetlights, the lights of oncoming and preceding vehicles,
etc., and automatically turns high beam on or off as necessary.
■ Activating the Automatic High Beam system Push the lever away from you with
the headlight switch in the “AUTO”
position when the “ENGINE
START STOP” switch is in IGNI-
TION ON mode.
The Automatic High Beam indi-
cator will come on when the
headlights are turned on auto-
matically to indicate that the sys-
tem is active.

Limitations of the Automatic High Beam
Do not rely on the Automatic High Beam . Always drive safely, taking care to
observe your surroundings and turning high beam on or off manually if necessary.■
Camera sensor detection information ●
High beam may not be auto matically turned off in the following situations:
• When oncoming vehicles suddenly appear from a curve.
• When the vehicle is cut in front of by another. ●
High beam may be turned off if an oncoming vehicle that is using fog lights with-
out using the headlights is detected. ●
Houselights, streetlights, re d traffic signals, and illuminated billboards or signs
may cause the high beam to turn off. ●
The following factors may affect the amount of time taken to turn high beam on
or off:
• The brightness of headlights, fog lights , and tail lights of oncoming and pre-
ceding vehicles
• Road conditions (wetness, ice, snow etc.)
• The number of passengers and amount of baggage ●
High beam may be turned on or off when unexpected by the driver.
