Note for the entry function
 P. 4 2
CAUTION■
When starting the engine
Always start the engine while sitting in th e driver’s seat. Do not depress the acceler-
ator while starting the engine under any circumstances.
Doing so may cause an accident resu lting in death or serious injury.■
Stopping the engine in an emergency
If you want to stop the engine in an em ergency while driving the vehicle, press and
hold the “ENGINE START STOP” switch fo r more than 2 seconds, or press it
briefly 3 times or more in succession. (  P. 8 7 8 )
However, do not touch the “ENGINE START STOP” switch while driving except in
an emergency. Turning the engine off while driving will not cause loss of steering or
braking control, but the power assist to thes e systems will be lost. This will make it
more difficult to steer and brake, so you should pull over and stop the vehicle as
soon as it is safe to do so.
NOTICE■
To prevent battery discharge
Do not leave the “ENGINE START STOP” switch in ACCESSORY or IGNITION
ON mode for long periods without the engine running.■
When starting the engine ●
Do not race a cold engine. ●
If the engine becomes difficult to start or stalls frequently, have your vehicle
checked by your Lexus dealer immediately.■
Symptoms indicating a malfunction with the “ENGINE START STOP” switch
If the “ENGINE START STOP” seems to be operating somewhat differently than
usual, such as the switch sticking slightly, there may be a malfunction. Contact your
Lexus dealer immediately.

1802-1. Driving procedures
LX570_OM_OM60L21U_(U) ■ Shift position uses
* 1
: Shifting to the “D” position allows the system to select a gear suitable for
the driving conditions. Setting the shift lever to the “D” position is recom-
mended for normal driving.
* 2
: If equipped, by selecting shift ranges using paddle shift switches, you can
control engine braking forces.
* 3
: Selecting shift ranges using “S” mode restricts the upper limit of the possi-
ble gear ranges, controls engine br aking forces, and prevents unneces-
sary upshifting. Shift position Function

When driving
LX570_OM_OM60L21U_(U) ■ Selecting a driving mode
The following patterns can be selec ted to suit current driving and
operating conditions.
Power mode For powerful acceleration and
driving in mountainous regions.
Normal mode For normal driving.
Second start mode For starting on slippery road
surfaces, such as on snow.
Press “2nd” to return to normal
mode.

When driving
LX570_OM_OM60L21U_(U) ■ Shift ranges and their functions
● Automatically selecting gears betw een 1 and 6 according to vehicle
speed and driving conditions. But, the gear is limited according to
selected shift range.
● You can choose from 6 levels of engine braking force.
● A lower shift range will provide gr eater engine braking force than a
higher shift range, and the engine revolutions will also increase. ■
Paddle shift switches (if equipped) ●
When the “-” paddle shift switch is operat ed in the “D” position, a shift range will
be automatically selected. Th e highest gear of the first shift range will be one
gear lower than the gear in use during normal “D” position driving. ●
Automatic deactivation of shift range selection in the “D” position
Shift range selection in the “D” position will be deactivated in the following situa-
tions:
• When the vehicle comes to a stop
• If the accelerator pedal is depressed for longer than a certain period of time
in one shift range■
“S” mode ●
When the shift range is “5” or lower, holding the shift lever toward “+” sets the
shift range to “6”. ●
To prevent excessive engine speed, a function was adopted that automatically
selects a higher shift range before the engine speed becomes too high.●
To protect the automatic transmission, a function is adopted that automatically
selects a higher shift range when the fluid temperature is high.■
Downshifting restrictions warning buzzer
To help ensure safety and driving perfor mance, downshifting operation may some-
times be restricted. In some circumstances, downshifting may not be possible even
when the shift lever or a paddle shift swit ch (if equipped) is op erated. (The warning
buzzer will sound twice.)

LX570_OM_OM60L21U_(U) ■
When driving with the cruise control or radar cruise control activated
Even when performing the following acti ons with the intent of enabling engine
braking, engine braking will not activate because cruise control or radar cruise
control will not be canceled. ●
While driving in “D” position (vehicles wi th paddle shift switches) or “S” mode,
downshifting to “5” or “4”. (  P. 2 3 0 , 2 3 4 )●
When switching the driving mode to power mode while driving in “D” position.
(  P. 181)■
Second start mode automatic deactivation
Second start mode is automatically deactivated if the engine is turned off after driv-
ing in second start mode. ■
If the shift lever cannot be shifted from “P”
 P. 8 6 5■
If the “S” indicator does not come on ev en after shifting the shift lever to “S”
This may indicate a malfunction in the automatic transmission system. Have the
vehicle inspected by your Lexus dealer immediately.
(In this situation, the vehicle will operate as if the shift lever is in “D”.) ■
AI-SHIFT
The AI-SHIFT automatically shifts the gear to the suitable position according to the
driver performance and driving conditions.
The AI-SHIFT automatically operates when the shift lever is in the “D” position.
(Shifting the shift lever to the “S” position cancels the function.)

: These lights turn on when the “E NGINE START STOP” switch is turned
to IGNITION ON mode to indicate that a system check is being per-
formed. They will turn off after the en gine is started, or after a few sec-
onds. There may be a malfunction in a system if a light does not come on,
or if the lights do not turn off. Have the vehicle inspected by your Lexus
dealer for details.

Daytime running light system ●
To make your vehicle more visible to other drivers, the parking lights turn on
automatically (at an increased intensity) whenever the engine is started and the
parking brake is released. Daytime running lights are not designed for use at
night. ●
Compared to turning on th e headlights, the daytime running light system offers
greater durability and consumes less electricity, so it can help improve fuel
economy.■
Headlight control sensor
■
Automatic light off system ●
When the headlights are on: The headlights and tail lights turn off 30 seconds
after a door is opened and closed if the “ENGINE START STOP” switch has
been switched to AC CESSORY or OFF mode.●
When only the tail lights are on: The tail lights turn off automatically if the
“ENGINE START STOP” switch is switched to ACCESSORY or OFF mode
and driver’s door is opened.
To turn the lights on again, turn the “ENGINE START STOP” switch to IGNITION
ON mode, or turn the light switch off once and then back to the
or
position. The sensor may not function properly if an
object is placed on the sensor, or anything
that blocks the sensor is affixed to the wind-
shield.
Doing so interferes with the sensor detecting
the level of ambient light and may cause the
automatic headlight system to malfunction.
