STARTING AND DRIVING
139 When the difference between the actual vehicle speed and the
set speed is less than 5 km / h (3 mph), the set speed can be
lowered 1.6 km / h (1 mph) each time by pressing the control
lever downward in the “SET / COAST” direction quickly within
0.6 seconds.
However, a quicker way to reset is to depress the brake pedal
and then press the control lever downward in the
“SET / COAST” direction.
Resuming the preset speed
Press the control lever upward in the “RES / ACC” direction.
The vehicle will resume the speed set prior to cancellation
unless the vehicle speed is less than 40 km / h (25 mph) or is
16 km / h (10 mph) below the preset speed.

system off and then push it again to turn it on.
If any of the following conditions then occurs, there is some

Lexus inspected.
ELECTRONICALLY MODULATED
AIR SUSPENSION
(U.S.A. ONLY)
This electronically modulated air suspension adjusts the
damping effect on the shock absorbers and the vehicle
height. This adjustment is automatically made in
response to the driving conditions to provide good riding
comfort and stability in all driving conditions.
(a) Vehicle height adjustment
This system maintains a stable vehicle height, regardless
of occupants and luggage weight. You can select one of
the following modes using a selector switch.
STARTING AND DRIVING
140“NORMAL” mode − For driving on roads with a normal
surface.
“HIGH” mode − For driving on rough roads which are
unsurfaced or continually bumpy.
The damping effect is set slightly firmer in “HIGH” mode. So
you may feel the vibration of the vehicle compared to in
“NORMAL” mode. However, this does not mean a malfunction
in the system. We recommend you use a “NORMAL” mode in
normal driving.
To change the mode, push the selector switch.
“NORMAL” mode
The vehicle height remains at normal height at all driving
speeds.
“HIGH” mode
The vehicle height switches between the following two vehicle
heights according to the driving conditions:
Vehicle height
Driving condition
NormalMedium and high speed driving
HighLow speed driving
The indicator light shows “HIGH” mode is selected.
When you turn the ignition key to the “ON” position, the
indicator light will come on for 2 seconds in any mode.
NOTICE
For vehicles equipped with the height control switch, be
sure to turn the ignition switch off before jacking. If this
is not done, the vehicle height adjustment function will
operate, which may cause body damage.
(b) Malfunction warning
If the “HI” indicator light blinks, there is a malfunction in this
system. Have the system checked by your Lexus dealer at the
first opportunity.
