LX570_OM_OM60Q78U_(U) 4-1. Before driving
WARNING
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury. ■
When the vehicle is parked ●
If the shift lever is moved before the low speed 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 po wertrain and allows the vehicle to move
regardless of the shift positi on. (At this time, the indi cator 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 injure d. You must complete the shifting of the
transfer mode. ( → P. 303)●
Do not touch the exhaust pipes while the engine is running or immediately after turn-
ing the engine off.
Doing so may cause burns. ■
When taking a nap in the vehicle
Always turn the engine off. Otherwise, if you accidentally move the shift lever or
depress the accelerator pedal, this could cause an accident or fire due to engine over-
heating. Additionally, if the ve hicle is parked in a poorly ventilated area, exhaust gases
may collect and enter the vehicle, leading to death or a serious health hazard. ■
When braking ●
When the brakes are wet, drive more cautiously.
Braking distance increases when the brakes are wet, and this may cause one side of
the vehicle to brake differently than the other side. Also, the parking brake may not
securely hold the vehicle. ●
If the power brake assist function does not operate, do not follow other vehicles
closely and avoid hills or sharp turns that re quire braking. In this case, braking is still
possible, but the brake pedal should be depressed more firmly than usual. Also, the
braking distance will increase. Have your brakes fixed immediately. ●
Do not pump the brake pedal if the engine stalls.
Each push on the brake pedal uses up the reserve for the power-assisted brakes. ●
The brake system consists of 2 individual hy draulic systems: If one of the systems fails,
the other will still operate. In this case, the brake pedal should be depressed more
firmly than usual and the bra king distance will increase.
Have your brakes fixed immediately. ■
If the vehicle becomes stuck
Do not spin the wheels excessive ly when any of the tires is up in the air, or the vehicle is
stuck in sand, mud, etc. This may damage the driveline components or propel the vehi-
cle forward or backward, causing an accident.

LX570_OM_OM60Q78U_(U) 4-1. Before driving
Stop your vehicle and a trailer in line and perform the following:●
Connecting a trailer
Put the 4-Wheel AHC in the “LO” (low) mode.
Turn off the engine switch or the 4-Wheel AHC.
Connect a trailer.
Turn on the engine switch or the 4-Wheel AHC.
Select the N (normal) mode with the height select switch. When a vehicle loaded with four occupants tows a trailer of about 4000 lb.
(1800 kg) with more than about 400 lb. (180 kg) tongue load, the normal mode
may not be selected. However, there is no problem to continue normal driving.
Drive with sufficient care because of large load.●
Disconnecting a trailer
Put the 4-Wheel AHC in the “LO” (low) mode. (Make sure the vehicle
height is in the “LO” mode by pulling the switch to “ ∨ ” on the height select
switch.)
Turn off the engine switch or the 4-Wheel AHC.
Set the supporting leg of a trailer on the ground and raise the hitch by 4 in.
(100 mm).
Turn on the engine switch or the 4-Wheel AHC.
Wait for about 20 seconds until the re ar vehicle height is lowered by the
automatic leveling function.
Make sure the hitch is disconnected. If not, raise the hitch higher and
repeat steps 2 through 5.
Move the vehicle forward in the “LO” mode where the hitch does not touch
anything in the N (normal) mode.
Put the 4-Wheel AHC in the N mode.Connecting and disconnecting a trailer 1

Operational conditions
The pre-collision system is enabled and the sy stem determines that the possibility of a
frontal collision with a vehicle or pedestrian is high.
Each function is operationa l at the following speeds:●
Pre-collision warning:
• Vehicle speed is between approximately 7 and 110 mph (10 and 180 km/h). (For
detecting a pedestrian, vehicle speed is between approximately 7 and 50 mph [10
and 80 km/h].)
• The relative speed between your vehicle and the vehicle or pedestrian ahead is
approximately 7 mph (10 km/h) or more. ●
Pre-collision brake assist:
• Vehicle speed is between approximately 20 and 110 mph (30 and 180 km/h). (For
detecting a pedestrian, vehicle speed is between approximately 20 and 50 mph
[30 and 80 km/h].)
• The relative speed between your vehicle and the vehicle or pedestrian ahead is
approximately 20 mph (30 km/h) or more. ●
Pre-collision braking:
• Vehicle speed is between approximately 7 and 110 mph (10 and 180 km/h). (For
detecting a pedestrian, vehicle speed is between approximately 7 and 50 mph [10
and 80 km/h].)
• The relative speed between your vehicle and the vehicle or pedestrian ahead is
approximately 7 mph (10 km/h) or more.
The system may not operate in the following situations: ●
If a battery terminal has been disconnected and reconnected and then the vehicle has
not been driven for a certain amount of time ●
If the shift lever is in R ●
If VSC is disabled (only the pre-collis ion warning function will be operational)●
If the low speed four-wheel drive indicator is illuminated (only the pre-collision warning
function will be operational)

four-wheel drive control switch is in the H4 position. Refer to the following table.
You can select this mode for easy
access and easy loading of the vehicle. If the engine switch is turned off within
approximately 30 seconds after the
vehicle is stopped while easy access
mode is on, the vehicle height is lowered
automatically.
When the vehicle begins to lower a
beep will sound twice, and while the
vehicle is lowering the indicator light will
flash to alert the driver and surrounding
people that the vehicle is lowering.
The indicator light stops blinking, and comes on continuously to indicate that the shift
is completed.
Easy access mode is available if the following conditions have been met:●
The vehicle height mode is in normal mode. ●
The vehicle is stopped on a flat surface. ●
The shift lever is in P. ●
The side doors and back door are not opened after the vehicle is stopped.
The following method will cancel the vehi cle lowering operation and raise the
vehicle again: ●
Press the height control OFF switch. ●

If the engine is stopped while the vehicle height is being lowe red, 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 switch being turned off, the vehicle height may
be lowered by the auto leveling function. ●
Operating the height select switch will have no effect while the engine is stopped.■
Automatic change in vehicle height when the four-wheel drive contro l 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 mo de 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 heig ht 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
