may become fogged-up, and th e road will be slippery.●
Drive carefully when it starts to rain, because the road surface will be especially
slippery. ●
Refrain from high speeds when driving on an expressway in the rain, because
there may be a layer of water between the tires and the road surface, prevent-
ing the steering and brakes from operating properly.■
Engine speed while driving
In the following conditions, the engine speed may become high while driving. This is
due to automatic up-shifting control or do wn-shifting implementation to meet driv-
ing conditions. It does not indicate sudden acceleration.●
The vehicle is judged to be driving uphill or downhill ●
When the accelerator pedal is released ●
When the brake pedal is depressed while power mode is selected (  P. 183)■

When driving
LX570_OM_OM60L96U_(U) CAUTION ●
When stopped on an inclined surface, use the brake pedal and parking brake to
prevent the vehicle from rolling backward or forward and causing an accident.●
Do not adjust the position of the steering wheel, the seat, or the inside or outside
rear view mirrors while driving.
Doing so may result in a loss of vehicle control that can cause accidents that may
result in death or serious injury. ●
Always check that all passengers’ arms, heads or other parts of their bodies are
not outside the vehicle, as this may result in death or serious injury. ●
Do not drive in excess of the speed limit. Even if the legal speed limit permits it, do
not drive over 85 mph (140 km/h) unless your vehicle has high-speed capability
tires. Driving over 85 mph (140 km/h) may result in tire failure, loss of control
and possible injury. Be sure to consult a tire dealer to determine whether the tires
on your vehicle are high-speed capability tires or not before driving at such
speeds. ●
When crossing rivers, turn off height co ntrol after putting the vehicle height in
high mode, and drive at 18 mph (30 km/h) or less. Otherwise the vehicle height
may change due to the automatic leveling function, resulting in an accident.
(  P. 320)■
When driving on slippery road surfaces ●
Sudden braking, acceleration and steering may cause tire slippage and reduce
your ability to control the vehi cle, resulting in an accident.●
Sudden acceleration, engine braking due to shifting, or changes in engine speed
could cause the vehicle to skid, resulting in an accident. ●
After driving through a puddle, lightly de press the brake pedal to make sure that
the brakes are functioning properly. Wet brake pads may prevent the brakes
from functioning properly. If the brakes on only one side are wet and not func-
tioning properly, steering control may be affected, resulting in an accident.
