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.■
When there is a malfunction in the system
Warning lights and/or warning messages will turn on. ( P. 827, 852)
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 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.
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.

When driving
LX570_OM_OM60L96U_(U) Pre-Collision System
: If equippedWhen the radar sensor detects possibilit y of a frontal collision, the pre-col-
lision systems such as the brakes and seat belts are automatically engaged
to lessen impact as well as vehicle damage.
■ Pre-collision seat belts (front seats only) If the pre-collision sensor detects that a collision is unavoidable, the pre-
collision system will retract the seat belt before the collision occurs.
The same will happen if the driver makes an emergency braking or loses
control of the vehicle. ( P. 94)
However, when the VSC system is disabled, the system will not operate in
the event of skidding.
■ Pre-collision brake assist When there is a high possibility of a frontal collision, the system applies
greater braking force in relation to how strongly the brake pedal is
depressed. The system may not warn the driver using a warning light,
warning display and buzzer when the system detects and judges braking
operations.
■ AVS control When the system determines that there is a high possibility of a frontal col-
lision, the AVS optimizes the damping effect. ( P. 331)

LX570_OM_OM60L96U_(U) ■
Situations in which the pre-collision system does not function properly
The system may not function effectively in situations such as the following: ●
On roads with sharp bends or uneven surfaces ●
If a vehicle suddenly moves in front of your vehicle, such as at an intersection ●
If a vehicle suddenly cuts in front of your vehicle, such as when overtaking●
In inclement weather such as heavy rain, fog, snow or sand storms ●
When your vehicle is skidding such as the VSC system off●
When your vehicle is steeply inclined ●
When the axis of the radar is out of adjustment■
Automatic cancelation of the pre-collision system
When a malfunction occurs due to sensor contamination, etc. that results in the
sensors being unable to detect obstacles, the pre-collision system will be automati-
cally disabled. In this case, th e system will not activate even if there is a collision pos-
sibility. ■
When there is a malfunction in the system, or if the system is temporarily unus-
able
Warning lights and/or warning messa ges will turn on or flash. ( P. 826, 837)

7684-3. Do-it-yourself maintenance
LX570_OM_OM60L96U_(U) ■ How to initialize the tire pressure warning system
Park the vehicle in safe plac e and turn the “ENGINE START
STOP” switch to OFF. While the vehicle is moving, initialization is not performed.
Adjust the tire inflation pressure to the specified cold tire inflation
pressure level. ( P. 895)Make sure to adjust the tire pressure to the specified cold tire inflation
pressure level. The tire pressure warning system will operate based on
this pressure level.
Turn the “ENGINE START STOP ” switch to IGNITION ON
mode.
Push and hold the tire pressure
warning reset switch until the tire
pressure warning light blinks
slowly 3 times and a message
appears on the multi-information
display.
Wait for a few minutes with th e IGNITION ON mode, and then
turn the “ENGINE START STOP” switch to OFF.
Registering ID codes
The tire pressure warning valve and tra nsmitter is equipped with a unique
ID code. When replacing a tire pre ssure warning valve and transmitter, it
is necessary to register the ID code of tire pressure warning valve and
transmitter. Have the ID code registered by your Lexus dealer.STEP 1

LX570_OM_OM60L96U_(U) ■
When to replace your vehicle’s tires
Tires should be replaced if: ●
You have tire damage such as cuts, splits, cracks deep enough to expose the
fabric, and bulges indicating internal damage ●
A tire goes flat repeatedly or cannot be properly repaired due to the size or
location of a cut or other damage
If you are not sure, consul t with your Lexus dealer.■
Replacing tires and wheels
If the ID code of the tire pressure warning valve and transmitter is not registered,
the tire pressure warning sy stem will not work properly. After driving for about 20
minutes, the tire pressure warning light come s on after blinking for 1 minute to indi-
cate a system malfunction. ■
When rotating the tires
Make sure that the “ENGINE START STOP” switch is off. If the tires are rotated
while the “ENGINE START STOP” switch is in IGNITION ON mode, the tire posi-
tion information will not be updated.
If this accidentally occurs, either turn the “ENGINE START STOP” switch to off
and then to IGNITION ON mode, or initia lize the system afte r checking that the
tire pressure is properly adjusted. ■
Tire life
Any tire over 6 years old mu st be checked by a qualified technician even if it has
seldom or never been used or damage is not obvious. ■
If the tread on snow tires wears down below 0.16 in. (4 mm)
The effectiveness of the tire s as snow tires is lost.

Initializing the tire pressure warning system
Initialize the tire pressure warning system with the tire inflation pressure adjusted to
the specified level. ■
If you push the tire pressure warning reset switch accidentally
If initialization is performed, adjust the ti re inflation pressure to the specified level
and initialize the tire pre ssure warning system again.■
The initialization operation ●
Make sure to carry out initialization afte r adjusting the tire inflation pressure.
Also, make sure the tires are cold before carrying out initialization or tire infla-
tion pressure adjustment. ●
If you have accidentally turned the “ENGINE START STOP” switch off during
initialization, it is not necessary to pre ss the reset switch again as initialization
will restart automatically when the “ENGINE START STOP” switch has been
turned to IGNITION ON mode for the next time. ●
If you accidentally press the reset switch when initialization is not necessary,
adjust the tire inflation pressure to th e specified level when the tires are cold,
and conduct initialization again.■
When the initialization of the tire pressure warning system has failed
Initialization can be completed in a few minutes. However, in the following cases,
the settings have not been recorded and the system will not operate properly. If
repeated attempts to record tire inflation pressure se ttings are unsu ccessful, have
the vehicle inspected by your Lexus dealer. ●
When operating the tire pressure warnin g reset switch, the tire pressure warn-
ing light does not blink 3 times and the setting message does not appear on the
multi-information display. ●
After carrying out the initialization proc edure, the tire pressure warning light
blinks for 1 minute then stays on after driving for about 20 minutes.■
Routine tire inflation pressure checks
The tire pressure warning sy stem does not replace rout ine tire inflation pressure
checks. Make sure to check tire inflation pressure as part of your routine of daily
vehicle checks.

Tire pressure warning system operation
The tire pressure warning system may not provide warning immediately if a tire
bursts or if sudden air leakage occurs. ■
When inspecting or replacing tires
Observe the following precautions to prevent accidents.
Failure to do so may cause da mage to parts of the drive train, as well as dangerous
handling characteristics, which may lead to an accident resulting in death or serious
injury. ●
Do not mix tires of different ma kes, models or tread patterns.
Also, do not mix tires of re markably different treadwear.●
Do not use tire sizes other th an those recommended by Lexus.●
Do not mix differently constructed tires (r adial, bias-belted or bias-ply tires).●
Do not mix summer, all season and snow tires. ●
Do not use tires that have b een used on another vehicle.
Do not use tires if you do not know how they were used previously. ■
When initializing the tire pressure warning system
Do not push the tire pressure warning reset switch without first adjusting the tire
inflation pressure to the specified level. Otherwise, the tire pr essure warning light
may not come on even if the tire inflation pressure is low, or it may come on when
the tire inflation pressure is actually normal.
