Switching vehicle height mode while the engine is stopped●
If the engine is stopped wh ile the vehicle height is being lowered, 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 START STOP” 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 control 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 mode 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 con-
trol switch in the “H4” position, no rmal mode is automatically selected.●
If the vehicle speed exceeds 25 mph (40 km/h) with the four-wheel drive con-
trol switch in the “L4” position, the vehicle height is lowered to 1.0 in. (25 mm)
higher than the normal mode height. If the vehicle speed drops to 12 mph (20
km/h) or less, high mode is automatically resumed.■
Extra high mode
If the vehicle becomes stuck or the Crawl Control system requests the vehicle
height be raised, extra high mode may be automatically selected when the vehicle
height is in high mode with the four-wheel drive control switch in the “L4” position.
The vehicle height is raised to 0.8 in. (2 0 mm) higher than the high mode height, or
slightly higher. ●
Extra high mode will change back to high mode when:
• The vehicle speed exceeds 6 mph (10 km/h)
• The four-wheel drive control switch is shifted to “H4”. ●
If you pull the height select switch to “  ” when in extra high mode, normal mode
is selected. ●
Extra high mode cannot be manually selected.

LX570_OM_OM60L21U_(U) NOTICE■
When parking in areas with limited overhead height
After leaving the vehicle or unloading the luggage, the vehicle height may be
slightly higher than normal. Take care when overhead height is limited. ■
To avoid damage to the vehicle ●
Normal mode will be switched to automatically even if the vehicle is started off in
low mode. Take care when overhead height is limited. ●
Do not select the low mode when drivin g on bumpy roads, as the underbody of
the vehicle may contact the road surface. ●
When traveling on bumpy roads or throug h water, or when towing, turn off easy
access mode.■
Avoid rapid changes to the vehicle height
As the pump may overheat. Leave at a few seconds between selections when
changing the vehicle height mode.

Advice for driving on slippery roads ●
If you shift the four-wheel drive control sw itch to “L4” and the shift lever to the
“2” range of “S” or “D” (vehicles with paddle shift switches) while driving in
steep off-road areas, the output of the brake can be controlled effectively by the
Active TRAC, which assists the driver to control the driving power of 4 wheels. ●
Use the “1” range of “S” or “D” (vehicles with paddle shift switches) of the shift
lever for maximum power and traction when your wheels get stuck or when
driving down a steep incline.■
The center differential lock indicator light
The indicator light blinks while locking/unlocking the center differential. ■
The center differential lock/unlock switch can be operated when ●
The “ENGINE START STOP” switch is in IGNITION ON mode. ●
The vehicle speed is less than 60 mph (100 km/h).■
Locking/unlocking the center differential ●
When the four-wheel drive control switch is in L4 with the center differential
locked, VSC is automatically turned off. (The center differential lock and VSC
OFF indicator lights come on.) ●
If the operation is not completed, the center differential lock indicator blinks. If
the indicator light does not turn off when unlocking the center differential, drive
straight ahead while accelerating or decelerating, or drive in reverse. ●
If the center differential lock/unlock is not completed within 5 seconds while the
cruise control system is on, ca ncel the cruise control system.

If the low speed four-wheel drive indicator light or the center differential lock
indicator light blinks ●
If the low speed four-wheel drive indicator light continues to blink when using
the four-wheel drive control switch, stop the vehicle completely, move the shift
lever to “N” and operate the switch again. ●
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 dis-
engages both the front and rear driveshafts from the powertrain and allows the
vehicle to move regardless of the shift po sition. (At this time, the indicator 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 injured. You must complete the shifting of
the transfer mode.
To complete the shifting, stop the vehicle completely, return the shift lever to “N”,
and confirm that the shift was completed (the indicator turns on/off). ●
If the engine coolant temperature is too low, the four-wheel drive control system
may not be able to shift. When the engine is warmer operate the switch again.
If the low speed four-wheel drive indicator light or the center differential lock indi-
cator light continues to blink even after attempting the above, there may be a mal-
function in the engine, the brake system or the four-wheel drive system. In this case,
you may not be able to shif t between “H4” and “L4”, and the center differential lock
may not be operable. Have the vehicle inspected by your Lexus dealer immediately.

Sounds and vibrations caused by the Crawl Control system ●
A sound may be heard from the engi ne compartment when the engine is
started or just after the vehicle begins to move. This sound does not indicate that
a malfunction has occurred in Crawl Control system. ●
Either of the following conditions may occur when the Crawl Control system is
operating. None of these are indicators that a malfunction has occurred.
• Vibrations may be felt through the vehicle body and steering.
• A motor sound may be heard after the vehicle comes to a stop.■
When there is a malfunction in the system
Warning lights and/or warnin g messages will turn on. (  P. 8 2 2 , 8 4 7 )
CAUTION■
When using Crawl Control and Turn Assist function
Do not rely solely on the Crawl Control an d Turn Assist function. This function does
not extend the vehicle’s performance limitations. Always thoroughly check the road
conditions, and drive safely. ■
These conditions may cause the system not to operate properly
When driving on the following surfaces, th e system may not be able to maintain a
fixed low speed, which may result in an accident: ●
Extremely steep inclines. ●
Extremely uneven surfaces. ●
Snow-covered roads, or other slippery surfaces.
NOTICE■
When using Turn Assist function
The Turn Assist function is a function to assist turning performance when driving off
road. The function may be less effective on paved road surfaces.
