Operation of each component
RX350/RX350L_U
Each electronic key can be registered to recall your preferred driving position.
■Registering procedure
Record your driving position to button “1”, “2” or “3” before performing the
following:
Carry only the key you want to regist er, and then close the driver’s door.
If 2 or more keys are in the vehicle, the driving position cannot be recorded
properly.
Check that the shift lever is in P.
Turn the engine switch to IGNITION ON mode.
Recall the driving position that you want to record.
While pressing the recalled but-
ton, press and hold the door lock
switch (either lock or unlock) until
the buzzer sounds.
If the button could not be registered,
the buzzer sounds continuously for
approximately 3 seconds.
■Recall procedureMake sure that the doors are locked before recalling the driving position.
Carry the electronic key that has been registered to the driving position,
and then unlock and open the driver’s door using the smart access system
with push-button start or wireless remote control.
The driving position will move to the recorded position (not including the steering
wheel and head-up display
*). However, the seat will move to a position slightly
behind the recorded position in order to make entering the vehicle easier.
If the driving position is in a position th at has already been recorded, the seat and
outside rear view mirrors will not move.
*: If equipped
Turn the engine switch to ACCESS ORY mode or IGNITION ON mode,
or fasten a seat belt.
The seat, steering wheel and head-up display (if equipped) will move to the
recorded position.

( P. 248)
■When starting off on a uphill
The hill-start assist control will activate. ( P. 378)
■Driving in the rain
●Drive carefully when it is ra ining, because visibility will be reduced, the windows may
become fogged-up, and the road will be slippery.
●Drive carefully when it starts to rain, beca use the road surface will be especially slip-
pery.
●Refrain from high speeds when driving on an expressway in the rain, because there may
be a layer of water between the tires and th e road surface, preventing the steering and
brakes from operating properly.
■Engine speed while driving
In the following conditions, th e engine speed may become high while driving. This is due
to automatic up-shifting control or down-shi fting implementation to meet driving condi-
tions. It does not indica te sudden acceleration.
●The vehicle is judged to be driving uphill or downhill
●When the accelerator pedal is released
●When the brake pedal is depressed while sport mode is selected
■Restraining the engine output (Brake Override System)
●When the accelerator and brake pedals are depressed at the same time, the engine
output may be restrained.
●A warning message is displayed on the mult i-information display while the system is
operating. If a warning message is shown on the multi-in formation display, read the
message and follow the instructions.
■Restraining sudden start (Drive-Start Control)
●When the following unusual operation is performed, the engine output may be
restrained.
• When the shift lever is shifted from R to D, D to R, N to R, P to D, or P to R (D
includes M or S) with the accelerator pedal depressed, a warning message appears
on the multi-information display. If a wa rning message is shown on the multi-infor-
mation display, read the messa ge and follow the instructions.
• When the accelerator pedal is depressed t oo much while the vehicle is in reverse.
●While Drive-Start Control is being activated, your vehicle may have trouble escaping
from the mud or fresh snow. In such case, deactivate TRAC ( P. 380) to cancel
Drive-Start Control so that the vehicle ma y become able to escape from the mud or
fresh snow.

To enter S mode, shift the shift lever to the S position. The shift range can then be
selected by operating the shift lever. Ch anging the shift range allows restriction
of the upper limit of the gears to be us ed, preventing unnecessary upshifting and
enabling the level of engine br aking force to be selected.
Upshifting
Downshifting
The initial shift rang e in S mode is set
automatically between 3 and 7 accord-
ing to vehicle speed and driving condi-
tions.
■Shift ranges and their functions
A lower shift range will provide greater engine braking forces than a higher shift
range.

■S mode
●When the shift range is 6 or lower, holding th e shift lever toward “+” sets the shift range
to 8.
●To prevent the engine from over-revving, upshifting may automatically occur.
●To protect the automatic transmission, a functi on is adopted that automatically selects a
higher shift range when the fluid temperature is high.
■To protect the automatic transmission
If the automatic transmission fluid temperature is high, “Transmission Fluid Temp High
See Owner’s Manual” will be displayed on the multi-information display and the vehicle
will go into transmission protection mode automatically. Have the vehicle inspected by
your Lexus dealer.
■Downshifting restrictions warning buzzer
To help ensure safety and driving performance, downshifti ng operation may sometimes
be restricted. In some circum stances, downshifting may not be possible even when the
shift lever is operated. (A buzzer will sound twice.)
■When driving with dynamic radar cruise control with full-speed range activated
Even when performing the following actions with the intent of enabling engine braking,
engine braking will not occur because dynamic radar cruise control with full-speed
range will not be canceled.
●While driving in D or S mode, downshifting to 7, 6, 5 or 4. ( P. 300)
●When switching the driving mode to spor t mode while driving in the D position
(  P. 373)
■Restraining sudden start (Drive-Start Control)
When the following unusual operation is performed, the engine output may be
restrained.
●When the shift lever is shifted from R to D, D to R, N to R, P to D, or P to R (D includes S)
with the accelerator pedal depressed, a wa rning message appears on the multi-infor-
mation display. If a warning message is shown on the multi- information display, read the
message and follow the instructions.
●When the accelerator pedal is depressed too while the vehicle is in reverse.
■Shift lock system
The shift lock system is a system to prevent ac cidental operation of the shift lever in start-
ing.
The shift lever can be shifted from P only when the engine switch is in IGNITION ON
mode and the brake pedal is being depressed.
