■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

■Advice for driving on slippery roads
●If you shift the four-wheel drive control switch to L4 and the shift lever to the 2 range of
S or D (vehicles with paddle shift switches) while driving in steep off-road areas, the
output of the brake can be controlled effectively by the Active TRAC, which assists the
driver to control the driving power of 4 wheels.
●Use the 1 range of S or D (vehicles with pa ddle shift switches) for maximum power and
traction when your wheels get stuck or when driving down a steep incline.

■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 indicator 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.

■While driving
Never move the four-wheel drive control switch
if the wheels have lost traction. Doing
so may cause an accident resulting in death or serious injury.
■When the vehicle is parked
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 completely. 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.
