When switching the vehicle height mode
Before lowering the vehicle height, check that there are no people under or around the
vehicle, and check for obstacles.
If you do not do this, body parts may be caught in the vehicle, possibly leading to an
accident. ■
Using the high mode
The high mode should only be used when driving on rough roads, for example when
driving off-road. Because the vehicle’s center of gravity will become higher when in the
mode, the vehicle may become unstable when turning abruptly, resulting in an acci-
dent. ■
When jacking up the vehicle or installing tire chains
Turn off the height control and stop the engine, otherwise the vehicle height may
change due to the automatic leveling function and you may catch part of your body in
the vehicle, resultin g in an accident.■
When crossing rivers
Select the high mode and turn off the heig ht control. Drive at 30 km/h (18 mph) or
lower. Otherwise the vehicle height may change due to the automatic leveling function,
resulting in an accident. ■
If your vehicle must be towed
Put the vehicle height in the normal mode and turn off the height control, otherwise the
vehicle height may change due to the automatic leveling function and you may catch
part of your body in the vehicle, resulting in an accident. ■
If your vehicle becomes stuck in a ditch
Turn off the height control, otherwise the vehicle height may change due to the auto-
matic leveling function, re sulting in an accident.■
When loading cargo on the roof luggage carrier
Do not switch to high mode. Sudden steering could cause the vehicle to lose stability
due to the vehicle’s higher center of gr avity, possibly leading to an accident.

NOTICE ■
When parking in areas with limited overhead height
After leaving the vehicle or unloading the luggage, the vehicle height may be slightly
higher than normal. Take care wh en overhead height is limited.■
To avoid damage to the vehicle ●
Normal mode will be switched to automatically even if the vehicle is started off in low
mode. Take care when over head height is limited.●
Do not select the low mode when driving on bumpy roads, as the underbody of the
vehicle may contact the road surface. ●
When traveling on bumpy roads or throug h water, or when towing, turn off easy
access mode. ■
Avoid rapid changes to the vehicle height
As the pump may overheat. Leave at a few seconds between selections when changing
the vehicle height mode.

The center differential lock indicator light
The indicator light blinks while locking/unlocking the center differential.■
The center differential lock/unlock switch can be operated when ●
The engine switch is in IGNITION ON mode. ●
The vehicle speed is less than 62 mph (100 km/h). ■
Locking/unlocking the center differential●
When the four-wheel drive control switch is in L4 with the center differential locked,
VSC is automatically turned off. (The center differential lock and VSC OFF indicator
lights come on.) ●
If the operation is not completed, the center di fferential lock indicato r blinks. If the indi-
cator light does not turn off when unlocking the center differential, drive straight ahead
while accelerating or decelerating, or drive in reverse. ●
If the center differential lock/unlock is not completed within 5 seconds while the cruise
control system is on, cancel the cruise control system. ■
If the low speed four-wheel drive indicator light or the center differential lock indicator
light blinks ●
If the low speed four-wheel drive indicator lig ht continues to blink when using the four-
wheel drive control switch, stop the vehicle completely, move the shift lever to N and
operate the switch again. ●
If the shift lever is moved before the low sp eed four-wheel drive indicator turns on/off,
the transfer mode may not be shifted comp letely. The transfer mode disengages both
the front and rear driveshafts from the powertrain and allows the vehicle to move
regardless of the shift position. (At this time , the indicator blinks and the buzzer sounds.)
Therefore, the vehicle is free to roll even if the automatic transmission is in P. You or
someone else could be seriously injured. You must complete the shifting of the transfer
mode.
To complete the shifting, stop the vehicle completely, return the shift lever to N, and
confirm that the shift was completed (the indicator turns on/off). ●
If the engine coolant temperature is too low, the four-wheel drive control system may
not be able to shift. When the engine is warmer operate the switch again.
If the low speed four-wheel drive indicator light or the center differential lock indicator
light continues to blink even after attempti ng the above, there may be a malfunction in
the engine, the brake system or the four-wheel drive system. In this case, you may not be
able to shift between H4 and L4, and the center differential lock may not be operable.
Have the vehicle inspected by your Lexus dealer immediately.

tion when driving through a tight corner. It maintains vehicle speed while driving
and reduces the number of turns needed to navigate a corner that requires turn-
ing the wheel in the opposite direction.

Using automatic mode
Fan speed is adjusted automatically accordin g to the temperature setting and the ambi-
ent conditions.
Therefore, the fan may stop for a while until warm or cool air is ready to flow immediately
after the is pressed or on the control screen is selected.■
Operation of the air conditioning system in Eco drive mode ●
In the Eco drive mode, the air conditioning sy stem is controlled as follows to prioritize
fuel efficiency
• Engine speed and compressor operation controlled to restrict heating/cooling
capacity
• Fan speed restricted when automatic mode is selected ●
To improve air conditioning performa nce, perform the following operations
• Adjust the fan speed
• Turn off Eco mode ■
Using the voice command system
Air conditioning system can be operated usin g voice commands. For details, refer to the
“NAVIGATION SYSTEM OWNER’S MANUAL”. ■
Fogging up of the windows ●
The windows will easily fog up when the humidity in the vehicle is high. Selecting
will dehumidify the air from the outlet s and defog the windshield effectively. ●
If you turn off, the windows may fog up more easily. ●
The windows may fog up if the recirculated air mode is used. ■
Outside/recirculated air mode ●
When driving on dusty roads such as tunnels or in heavy traffic, set the outside/recircu-
lated air mode button to the recirculated ai r mode. This is effective in preventing out-
side air from entering the vehicle interi or. During cooling operation, setting the
recirculated air mode will also cool the vehicle interior effectively. ●
Outside/recirculated air mode may automa tically switch depending on the tempera-
ture setting or the inside temperature. ■
When the outside temperature exceeds 75  F (24  C) and the air conditioning system
is on ●
In order to reduce the air conditioning po wer consumption, the ai r conditioning system
may switch to recirculated air mode automatically.
This may also reduce fuel consumption. ●
Recirculated air mode is selected as a defaul t mode when the engine switch is turned to
IGNITION ON mode. ●
It is possible to switch to outside air mode at any time by pressing .■
Automatic mode for air intake control
In automatic mode, the system detects exhaust gas and other pollutants and automati-
cally switches between outside air and recirculated air modes.
When the dehumidification function is off, and the fan is operating, turning automatic
mode on will activate the dehumidification function.

Ventilation and air conditioning odors ●
To let fresh air in, set the air conditio ning system to the outside air mode.●
During use, various odors from inside and outside the vehicle may enter into and accu-
mulate in the air conditioning system. This may then cause odor to be emitted from the
vents. ●
To reduce potential odors from occurring:
• It is recommended that the air conditioning system be set to outside air mode prior
to turning the vehicle off.
• The start timing of the blower may be dela yed for a short period of time immediately
after the air conditioning system is started in automatic mode.■

WA R N I N G ■
To prevent the windshield from fogging up ●
Do not use during cool air operation in extremely humid weather. The differ-
ence between the temperature of the outside air and that of the windshield can cause
the outer surface of the windshield to fog up, blocking your vision.■
To prevent burns ●
Do not touch the rear view mirror surfaces when the outside rear view mirror defog-
gers are on. ●
Do not touch the glass at lower part of the wi ndshield or to the si de of the front pillars
when the windshield wiper de-icer is on.
