STEERING WHEEL AND MIRRORS
239
Drive the vehicle slowly (at 8 km/h [5 mph] or lower) in a circle
until the direction is displayed. If there is not enough space to
drive in a circle, drive around the block until the direction is
displayed.
After driving in 1 to 3 circles in the above method, calibration
is complete with the direction shown on the display. Perform
circling calibration just after you have purchased
your Lexus. And then always perform circling calibration
after the battery has been removed, replaced or
disconnected.
 Do not perform circling calibration of the compass in a place
where the earth’s magnetic field is subject to interference by
artificial magnetic fields (underground parking, under a steel
tower, between buildings, roof parking, near a crossing,
near a large vehicle, etc.).
 During calibration, do not operate electric systems (moon
roof, power windows, etc.) as they may interfere with the
calibration.

AIR CONDITIONING
260
INFORMATION
The air conditioning filter should be installed properly
in position. The use of air conditioning with the filter
removed may cause deteriorated dustproof
performance and then affect air conditioning
performance.

STARTING AND DRIVING
443

Selecting the “N” mode
To change “HI” to “N” mode: Push the height select switch
on the “
” (lower) side once.
To change “LO” to “N” mode: Push the height select switch
on the “ ” (higher) side once.
The “N” indicator light blinks as the vehicle’s height changes.
When the vehicle’s height reaches the “N” mode, the indicator
light remains on.
Even if the engine stops while the vehicle’s height is being
lowered, the operation continues for up to one minute.
 Selecting the “LO” mode
To change “N” mode to “LO”: Push the height select switch
on the “
” (lower) side once.
To change “HI” mode to “LO”: Push the height select switch
on the “
” (lower) side twice.
The “LO” indicator light blinks as the vehicle’s height changes.
When the vehicle’s height reaches the “LO” mode, the indicator
light remains on.
Even if the engine stops while the vehicle’s height is being
lowered, the operation continues for up to one minute.
CAUTION
 Before you lower the vehicle’s height with the height
select switch, check under the vehicle to make sure
nothing that could damage the vehicle or no one who
could be injured is there and that the underbody of
the vehicle does not touch the ground.
 Do not select the “HI” mode when you load cargo on
the roof luggage carrier. Otherwise it may result in a
loss of control or vehicle rollover due to failure to
operate this vehicle correctly.
NOTICE
If the vehicle height is changed frequently, the
compressor may overheat, causing the vehicle
height adjustment operation to stop.
 After unloading, vehicle height rises slightly. Take
sufficient care where overhead space is restricted.
 Do not select “LO” mode when on bumpy roads. If
the underbody of the vehicle touches the rugged
road surface, the vehicle may be damaged.

DRIVING TIPS
468
OFFROAD VEHICLEPRECAUTIONS
This vehicle belongs to the utility vehicle class, which has
higher ground clearance and narrower tread in relation to
the height of its center of gravity to make it capable of
performing in a wide variety of offroad applications.
Specific design characteristics give it a higher center of
gravity than ordinary passenger cars. This vehicle design
feature causes this type of vehicle to be more likely to
rollover. And, utility vehicles have a significantly higher
rollover rate than other types of vehicles. An advantage
of the higher ground clearance is a better view of the road
allowing you to anticipate problems. It is not designed for
cornering at the same speeds as ordinary passenger cars
any more than lowslung sports cars designed to perform
satisfactorily under offroad conditions. Therefore, sharp
turns at excessive speeds may cause rollover.
CAUTION
Always observe the following precautions to minimize
the risk of serious personal injury or damage to your
vehicle:
 In a rollover crash, an unbelted person is
significantly more likely to die than a person wearing
a seat belt. Therefore, the driver and all passengers
should fasten their seat belts whenever the vehicle is
moving.
 Avoid sharp turns or abrupt maneuvers, if at all
possible. Failure to operate this vehicle correctly
may result in loss of control or vehicle rollover
causing death or serious injury.
 Loading cargo on the roof luggage carrier will make
the center of the vehicle gravity higher. Avoid high
speeds, sudden starts, sharp turns, sudden braking
or abrupt maneuvers, otherwise it may result in loss
of control or vehicle rollover due to failure to operate
this vehicle correctly.
 Always slow down in gusty crosswinds. Because of
its profile and higher center of gravity, your vehicle is
more sensitive to side winds than an ordinary
passenger car . Slowing down will allow you to have
better control.

MAINTENANCE
529
You can be confident that your Lexus dealer’s service
department performs the best job to meet the maintenance
requirements of your vehicle.
Your copy of the repair order is proof that all required
maintenance has been performed for warranty coverage. If
any problems should arise with your vehicle while under
warranty,
your Lexus dealer will promptly take care of it. Again,
be sure to keep a copy of the repair order for any service
performed on your Lexus.
What about doityourself maintenance?
Many of the maintenance items are easy to do yourself, if you
have a little mechanical ability and a few basic automotive
tools. Simple instructions for how to perform them are
presented in Section 6.
If you are a skilled do −it− yourself mechanic, the Lexus service
manuals are recommended. Please be aware that
do−it−yourself maintenance can affect your warranty
coverage. See “Owner’s Guide”, “Owner’s Manual
Supplement” or “Warranty Booklet” for the details.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
Listed below are the general maintenance items that should be
performed at the intervals specified. It is recommended that
any problem you notice be brought to the attention of your
Lexus dealer or qualified service shop for their advice.
CAUTION
Make these checks only with adequate ventilation if you
run the engine.
Engine compartment
Items listed below should be checked from time to time,
e.g. each time when refueling.
Washer fluid
Make sure there is sufficient fluid in the tank. See page 609 for
additional information.
Engine coolant level
Make sure the coolant level is between the “FULL” and “LOW”
lines on the see−through reservoir when the engine is cold.
See page 559 for additional information.
Radiator, condenser and hoses
Check that the front of the radiator and condenser are clean
and not blocked with leaves, dirt or insects. See page 561 for
additional information.
