Driving assist systems ◆ Multi Terrain ABS (Anti-lock Brake System) Helps to prevent wheel lock when the brakes are applied suddenly, or if the brakes are
applied while driving on a slippery road su rface, or in off-road conditions (such as
rough roads, sand and mud)
◆ Brake assist Generates an increase d level of braking force after the brake pedal is depressed
when the system detects a panic stop situation
◆ VSC (Vehicle Stability Control) Helps the driver to control skidding when swerving suddenly or turning on slippery
road surfaces
◆ Active TRAC (Traction Control) Helps to maintain drive power and prevent the 4 wheels from spinning when starting
the vehicle or accelerating on slippe ry roads, or in off-road conditions
◆ Hill-start assist control Helps to reduce the backward movement of the vehicle when starting on an incline or
slippery slope
◆ AVS (Adaptive Variable Suspension system) By independently controlling the damping force of the shock absorbers for each of
the 4 wheels according to th e road and driving conditions, this system helps riding
comfort with superior steering stabilit y, and helps good vehicle posture. When
SPORT S+ mode is selected by the drivin g mode select switch, the damping force is
suitable for sporty driving. (  P. 290)
◆ VGRS (Variable Gear Ratio Steering) Helps to adjust the wheel turning angle in accordance with the vehicle speed and
steering wheel movement.
◆ Trailer Sway Control Helps the driver to control trailer sway by selectively applying brake pressure for indi-
vidual wheels and reducing engine to rque when trailer sway is detected.
Trailer Sway Control is part of the VSC system and will not operate if VSC turned off
or experiences a malfunction.To help enhance driving safety and perf ormance, the following systems oper-
ate automatically in response to variou s driving situations. Be aware, however,
that these systems are supplementary and should not be relied upon too heav-
ily when operating the vehicle.

Driving WARNING ■
Replacing tires
Make sure that all tires are of the same si ze, brand, tread pattern and total load capac-
ity. In addition, make sure that the tires are inflated to the specified tire pressure level.
The Multi Terrain ABS, Active TRAC, VSC an d Trailer Sway Control will not function
correctly if different tires are fitted on the vehicle.
Contact your Lexus dealer for further in formation when replacing tires or wheels.■
Handling of tires and suspension
Using tires with any kind of problem or modi fying the suspension w ill affect the driving
assist systems, and may caus e the system to malfunction.■
Trailer Sway Control precaution
The Trailer Sway Control system is not able to reduce trailer sway in all situations.
Depending on many factors such as the condit ions of the vehicle, trailer, road surface,
and driving environment, the Trailer Sway Control system may not be effective. Refer to
your trailer owner’s manual for information on how to tow your trailer properly. ■
If trailer sway occurs
Observe the following precautions.
Failing to do so may cause death or serious injury. ●
Firmly grip the steering wh eel. Steer straight ahead.
Do not try to control trailer sway ing by turning the steering wheel.●
Begin releasing the accelerator pedal immediately but very gradually to reduce
speed.
Do not increase speed. Do not apply vehicle brakes.
If you make no extreme correction with the steering or brakes, your vehicle and trailer
should stabilize. (  P. 207)

Driving Accelerate the vehicle slowly, keep a sa fe distance between you and the vehicle
ahead, and drive at a reduced spee d suitable to road conditions.●
Park the vehicle and move the shift lever to P without setting the parking
brake. The parking brake may freeze up, preventing it from being released. If
the vehicle is parked without setting the parking brake, make sure to block the
wheels.
Failure to do so may be dangerous because it may cause the vehicle to move
unexpectedly, possibly leading to an accident. ●
If the vehicle is parked without setting the parking brake, confirm that the shift
lever cannot be moved out of P
* .When the parking brake is in automatic mo de, release the parkin g brake after shifting
the shift lever to P. (  P. 224)
* : The shift lever will be locked if it is attempted to be shif ted from P to any other position
without depressing the brake pedal. If the sh ift lever can be shifte d from P, there may
be a problem with the shift lock system. Have the vehicle inspected by your Lexus
dealer immediately. 

Driving WARNING ■
Off-road driving precautions
Always observe the following precautions to minimize the risk of death, serious injury
or damage to your vehicle: ●
Drive carefully when off the road. Do not ta ke unnecessary risks by driving in danger-
ous places. ●
Do not grip the steering wheel spokes when driving off-road. A bad bump could jerk
the wheel and injure your hands. Keep both hands and especially your thumbs on the
outside of the rim. ●
Always check your brakes for effectiveness immediately after driving in sand, mud,
water or snow. ●
After driving through tall grass, mud, rock , sand, rivers, etc., check that there is no
grass, bush, paper, rags, stone, sand, etc. adhering or trapped on the underbody.
Clear off any such matter from the underbody. If the vehicle is used with these materi-
als trapped or adhering to the underbody, a breakdown or fire could occur. ●
When driving off-road or in rugged terrain , do not drive at excessive speeds, jump,
make sharp turns, strike obje cts, etc. This may cause loss of control or vehicle rollover
causing death or serious injury. You are also risking expensive damage to your vehi-
cle’s suspension and chassis.

NOTICE ■
To prevent the water damage
Take all necessary safety measures to ensure that water damage to the engine or other
components does not occur. ●
Water entering the engine air intake will cause severe engine damage. ●
Water entering the automatic transmission will cause deterioration in shift quality,
locking up of your transmission accompan ied by vibration, and ultimately damage.●
Water can wash the grease from wheel be arings, causing rusting and premature fail-
ure, and may also enter the differentials, tr ansmission and transfer case, reducing the
gear oil’s lubricating qualities. ■
When you drive through water
If driving through water, such as when cro ssing shallow streams, first check the depth of
the water and the bottom of the riverbed for firmness. Drive slowly and avoid deep
water. ■
Inspection after off-road driving ●
Sand and mud that has accumulated in brake drums and around brake discs may
affect braking efficiency and may damage brake system components. ●
Always perform a maintenance inspection afte r each day of off-road driving that has
taken you through rough terrain, sand, mud, or water. For scheduled maintenance
information, refer to the “Warranty and Se rvices Guide”, “Owner’s Manual Supple-
ment” or “Scheduled Maintenance”.
