LX570_OM_OM60N01U_(U)4-5. Using the driving support systems
Current mode
The vehicle is in the N (normal) height
mode in the illustration. and
show directions in which it is possible to
adjust the vehicle height.
Height up
Height down
Height control “OFF” indicator
When the height control “OFF” indicator is
displayed, the vehicle height will not
change even if the height select switch is operated.
Push the height select switch to “ ” to step up one height mode, and pull to “ ” to
step down one height mode. (Ex. When in the low height mode, push to “” once
to switch to the normal height mode, and twice to switch to the high height
mode.)
■“HI” (high) height mode
Vehicle height is about 2.0 in. (50 mm) higher at the front, and about 2.4 in.
(60 mm) higher at the rear th an the normal mode height.
This mode is suitable when drivin g on bumpy roads or through water.
High height mode is only available wh en the vehicle speed is under 18 mph
(30 km/h).
■N (normal) height mode
The standard vehicle height. This mode is suitable for ordinary driving.
When driving at high speeds, the vehicle height is automatically lowered by
0.8 in. (20 mm) in the front and 0.6 in. (15 mm) in the rear, to ensure excellent
aerodynamic characteristics and stability.
If the vehicle speed drops, normal height mode is automatically resumed.
■“LO” (low) height mode
Vehicle height is about 2.4 in. (60 mm) lower at the front, and about 1.6 in. (40
mm) lower at the rear than the normal mode height.
This mode allows easy access to the vehicle.
Low height mode is only available when the vehicle is travelling at 7 mph
(12 km/h) or less. When the vehicle speed exceeds 7 mph (12 km/h), normal
height mode is automatically selected.

LX570_OM_OM60N01U_(U)4-5. Using the driving support systems
When the height control OFF switch is
pressed with the vehicle stopped.
The height control “OFF” indicator will
appear on the multi-information display,
and the vehicle height will be fixed in the
current mode. Push the switch again to
turn the system back on.
■Operating conditions
●The engine must be running.
●Vehicle height control must be turned off.
●All side doors and the back door must be closed.
■Switching vehicle height mode while the engine is stopped
●If the engine is stopped while the vehicle height is being lowered, lowering will continue.
●If any luggage is removed from the vehicle
or if any occupants leave the vehicle within
approximately 30 seconds of the engine sw itch being turned OFF, the vehicle height
may be lowered by the auto leveling function.
●Operating the height select switch will have no effect while th e engine is stopped.
■Automatic change in vehicle height when the four-wheel drive control switch is in the
L4 position
If the vehicle speed exceeds 2 mph (3 km/h) while driving on an uneven road with the
four-wheel drive control switch in the “L4” position, high mode is automatically selected.
(On even roads, the height mode will not change.)
■Automatic change in vehicle height when in the high mode
●If the vehicle speed exceeds 18 mph (30 km/h) with the four-wheel drive control switch
in the “H4” position, normal mode is automatically selected.
●If the vehicle speed exceeds 30 mph (50 km/h) with the four-wheel drive control
switch in the “L4” position, the vehicle height is lowered to 1.0 in. (25 mm) higher than
the normal mode height. If the vehicle speed drops to 13 mph (20 km/h) or less, high
mode is automatically resumed.

■Extra high mode
If the vehicle becomes stuck or the Crawl Control system requests the vehicle height be
raised, extra high mode may be automatically selected when the vehicle height is in high
mode with the four-wheel drive control switch in the L4 position.
The vehicle height is raised to 0.8 in. (20 mm) higher than the high mode height, or
slightly higher.
●Extra high mode will change back to high mode when:
• The vehicle speed exceeds 6 mph (10 km/h)
• The four-wheel drive control switch is shifted to H4.
●If you pull the height select switch to “ ” when in extra high mode, normal mode is
selected.
●Extra high mode cannot be manually selected.
■Tu r n i n g o f f t h e h e i g h t c o n t r o l
●The system will remain off until the height co ntrol “OFF” switch is pushed again, even if
the engine switch is turned off.
●Even if the system is turned off, the system will intervene automatically if the vehicle
speed exceeds the following.
• 18 mph (30 km/h) with high or low mode
• 50 mph (80 km/h) with normal mode
■Automatic leveling function
The vehicle is adjusted to a fixed height for each mode, regardless of the number of
occupants and the luggage load.
●However the vehicle cannot be raised if the vehicle load exceeds the following limits:
• Up to 4 occupants
* plus approximately 661 lb. (300 kg) in the normal mode
• Up to 4 occupants
* plus approximately 441 lb. (200 kg) in the high mode
*: average weight 150 lb. (68 kg) per person
●If the vehicle height cannot be raised when in the normal mode, and “LO” appears on
the display, the vehicle is loaded too heavily. Take extra care when driving in this condi-
tion.
If the vehicle height cannot be raised even after unloading the vehicle, pull the height
select switch to “ ” then push to “ ”. If the vehicle height st ill cannot be raised, turn the
ignition off then on again, then try once more.
■When the vehicle is stopped during driving
The activation of the automatic leveling func tion may cause the vehicle height to change.
This is not a malfunction.
■If the vehicle height does not change
If the vehicle is loaded too heavily, or the undercarriage has come into contact with the
road surface, the vehicle height cannot be raised/lowered.

■In the following cases the 4-Wheel AHC will not operate
●The brake pedal has been depressed for a few seconds or longer while the vehicle is
stopped.
●Vehicle height control has not been frequently used.
●The suspension fluid temperature is lower than -22°F (-30°C).
●There is ice on the suspension.
●Driving on bumpy roads which may cause
the suspension to fully elongate.
●If the steering wheel is abruptly turned more than 3/4 of a revolution with the center
differential lock system activated.
■Cold weather operation
It may take longer for the vehicle height to change if the suspension fluid temperature
drops below 5°F (-15°C).
The 4-Wheel AHC does not operate when the suspension fluid temperature drops
below -22°F (-30°C).
●In this case, even if the height select switch is pressed, th e vehicle height will not change.
Once the vehicle has been driven for a short time and the suspension fluid has been
warmed to within normal operating limits, the 4-Wheel AHC will begin operating and
the vehicle height will automatically change to the selected mode.
●When the suspension fluid is around -22°F (-30°C), the vehicle height may not be able
to be raised, even if the 4-Wheel AHC is oper ating. In this case, pull the height select
switch to “ ” then push to “ ” after driving for a short time longer to select the desired
vehicle height.
■Parking and stopping tips
●If you immediately stop the engine after off-road driving, the vehicle height may gradu-
ally lower. When parking, make sure ther e is nothing under the vehicle that may come
in contact with the underbody. The vehicle will return to the set height when the engine
is started.
●The vehicle height may change as the temperature changes when the engine is
stopped. The vehicle will return to the set height when the engine is started.
■Propeller shaft noise
If the vehicle height is adjusted on a slope, or with the shift lever in a position other than P
or N while the vehicle is stopped, you may hear a sound caused by the expansion and
contraction of the propeller shaft. Th is does not indicate a malfunction.
■4-Wheel AHC failure warning
If a malfunction occurs in the 4-Wheel AHC , normal mode is automatically selected.
However, the system may not switch to norm al mode depending on the location of the
malfunction.
The warning message is displayed on the mu lti-information display, and the 4-Wheel
AHC cannot be activated until the malfunction is corrected.
Stop the engine and start it again. If the warning message turns off, the system is operat-
ing correctly. If the warning message continue s to be displayed, have the vehicle checked
at your Lexus dealer as soon as possible.

■When it is difficult to generate traction
MUD & SAND mode provides the largest amount of tire slippage, followed by LOOSE
ROCK, MOGUL, ROCK & DIRT and ROCK mode.
Drivability can be improved by selecting a mo de which provides a smaller amount of tire
slippage than the current mode when the amount of tire slippage is large, or conversely
selecting a mode which provides a larger amou nt of tire slippage than the current mode
when the amount of ti re slippage is small.
