LX570_OM_OM60L21U_(U) Changing shift range in “D” position
■ Shift lever
If the shift lever is shifted into the “D” position, the ap propriate gear is
automatically selected, as determ ined by the driving conditions.
■ Paddle shift switches (if equipped)
While the shift lever is in the “D” po sition, engine braking force can be
temporarily switched to.
By firstly operating the “-” paddle sh ift switch, the “-” and “+” switches
can be used to freely switch the shift range.
Changing the shift range allows re striction of the highest gear, pre-
venting unnecessary upshifting and enabling the level of engine brak-
ing force to be selected.
Downshifting
Upshifting To return to normal D position driv-
ing, the “+” paddle shift switch must
be held down for a period of time.

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 engi ne speed will also increase.

● Automatically selecting gears betw een 1 and 6 according to vehicle

● 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.)

When driving
LX570_OM_OM60L21U_(U) Turn signal lever
■
Turn signals can be operated when
The “ENGINE START STOP” switch is in IGNITION ON mode. ■
If the indicators flash faster than usual
Check that a light bulb in the front or re ar turn signal lights has not burned out.■
If the turn signals stop flashing before a lane change has been performed
Operate the lever again. ■
To discontinue flashing of the tu rn signals during a lane change
Operate the lever in the opposite direction. ■
Customization
The number of times the turn signals flash during a lane change can be changed.
(Customizable features  P. 9 0 6 ) Right turn
Left turn
Lane change to the right
(move the lever partway and
then release it) The right hand signals will flash
3 times.
Lane change to the left
(move the lever partway and
then release it) The left hand signals will flash 3
times.

The meters and displa y illuminate when
The “ENGINE START STOP” switch is in IGNITION ON mode. ■
The brightness of the instrument panel lights
When the tail lights are turned on, the me ter’s brightness will be reduced slightly
unless the meter brightness level adjustment is set to the brightest setting.
If the tail lights are turned on when the surroundings are dark, the meter’s bright-
ness will be reduced slightly. However, wh en the surroundings are bright, such as
during the daytime, the meter’s brightness will not be reduced even if the tail lights
are turned on.
NOTICE■
To prevent damage to the engine and its components ●
Do not let the indicator needle of the ta chometer enter the red zone, which indi-
cates the maximum engine speed. ●
The engine may be overheating if the engine coolant temperature gauge is in the
red zone (“H”). In this case, immediatel y stop the vehicle in a safe place, and
check the engine after it has cooled completely. (  P. 8 7 3 )■
Vo l t m e t e r
When the voltmeter indicates 19 V or higher or 9 V or lower while the engine is
running, there may be a battery or chargi ng system malfunction. Have the vehicle
inspected at your Lexus dealer. ■
Engine oil pressure gauge
When the value of the engine oil pressure gauge drops while the engine is running,
stop the vehicle in a safe place immediately and check the amount of engine oil.
(  P. 74 9 )
When the oil pressure drops even though the engine oil amount has not decreased,
or if the oil pressure does not increase when engine oil is added, contact your Lexus
dealer, as there may be a problem with the lubrication system.

When driving
LX570_OM_OM60L21U_(U) CAUTION■
If a safety system warning light does not come on
Should a safety system light such as Multi Terrain ABS and the SRS airbag warning
light not come on when you start the engine, this could mean that these systems are
not available to help protect you in an accid ent, which could result in death or seri-
ous injury. Have the vehicle inspected by your Lexus dealer immediately if this
occurs.■ Warning lights
Warning lights inform the driver of malfunctions in any of the vehi-
cle’s systems. (  P. 821)
* 1
: 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.
