Cold weather operation
It may take longer for the vehicle height to change if the suspension fluid tempera-
ture drops below 5°F (-15°C).
The 4-Wheel AHC does not operate when the suspension fluid temperature drops
below -22°F (-30°C). ●
In this case, even if the height select switch is pressed, the vehicle height will not
change. Once the vehicle has been driven for a short time and the suspension
fluid has been warmed to within normal operating limits, the 4-Wheel AHC will
begin operating and the vehicle height wi ll automatically change to the selected
mode. ●
When the suspension fluid is around -22°F (-30°C), the vehicle height may not
be able to be raised, even if the 4-Wheel AHC is operating. In this case, pull the
height select switch to “ ” then push to “ ” after driving for a short time longer
to select the desired vehicle height.■
Parking and stopping tips ●
If you immediately stop the engine after off-road driving, the vehicle height may
gradually lower. When parking, make su re there is nothing under the vehicle
that may come in contact with the underbody. The vehicle will return to the set
height when the engine is started. ●
The vehicle height may change as the temperature changes when the engine is
stopped. The vehicle will return to the set height when the engine is started.■
Propeller shaft noise
If the vehicle height is adjusted on a slope, or with the shift lever in a position other
than “P” or “N” while the vehicle is stop ped, you may hear a sound caused by the
expansion and contraction of the propeller shaft. This does not indicate a malfunc-
tion. ■
4-Wheel AHC failure warning
If a malfunction occurs in the 4-Wheel AHC, normal mode is automatically
selected. However, the system may not sw itch to normal mode depending on the
location of the malfunction.
The warning message is displayed on the multi-information display, and the 4-
Wheel AHC cannot be activated until the malfunction is corrected.
Stop the engine and start it again. If th e warning message turns off, the system is
operating correctly. If the warning message continues to be displayed, have the
vehicle checked at your Lexus dealer as soon as possible.

Before lowering the vehicle height, check that there are no people under or around
the vehicle, and check for obstacles.
If you do not do this, body parts may be caught in the vehicle, possibly leading to an
accident. ■
Using the high mode
The high mode should only be used wh en driving on rough roads, for example
when driving off-road. Beca use the vehicle’s center of gravity will become higher
when in the mode, the vehicle may become unstable when turning abruptly, result-
ing in an accident. ■
When jacking up the vehicle or installing tire chains
Turn off the height control and stop the engine, otherwise the vehicle height may
change due to the automatic leveling func tion and you may catch part of your body
in the vehicle, resulting in an accident. ■
When crossing rivers
Select the high mode and turn off the height control. Drive at 18 mph (30 km/h) or
lower. Otherwise the vehicle height may change due to the automatic leveling
function, resulting in an accident. ■
If your vehicle must be towed
Put the vehicle height in the normal mode and turn off the height control, otherwise
the vehicle height may change due to th e automatic leveling function and you may
catch part of your body in the ve hicle, resulting in an accident.■
If your vehicle becomes stuck in a ditch
Turn off the height control, otherwise the vehicle height may change due to the
automatic leveling function, resulting in an accident.■
When loading cargo on the roof luggage carrier
Do not switch to high mode. Sudden steeri ng could cause the vehicle to lose stabil-
ity due to the vehicle’s higher center of gravity, possibly leading to an accident.

Sounds and vibrations caused by the Crawl Control system ●
A sound may be heard from the engine 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 indicat ors 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.■

not extend the vehicle’s performance limi tations. 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.

When driving
LX570_OM_OM60L96U_(U) NOTICE■
To prevent the water damage
Take all necessary safety measures to ensure that water damage to the engine or
other components does not occur. ●
Water entering the engine air intake will cause severe engine damage. ●
Water entering the automatic transmission will cause deterioration in shift qual-
ity, locking up of your transmission accompanied by vibration, and ultimately
damage. ●
Water can wash the grease from wheel bearings, causing rusting and premature
failure, and may also enter the differen tials, transmission and transfer case,
reducing the gear oil’s lubricating qualities.■
When you drive through water
If driving through water, such as when crossing shallow streams, first check the
depth of the water and the bottom of the river bed for firmness. Drive slowly and
avoid deep water. ■
Inspection after off-road driving ●
Sand and mud that has accumulated in brake drums and around brake discs may
affect braking efficiency and may damage brake system components.●
Always perform a maintenance inspection after each day of off-road driving that
has taken you through rough terrain, sand, mud, or wa ter. For scheduled mainte-
nance information, refer to the “Warra nty and Services Guide/Owner’s Manual
Supplement/Schedul ed Maintenance”.
