When driving
LX570_OM_OM60L96U_(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 grea ter engine braking force than a
higher shift range, and the engine speed will also increase. ■
Paddle shift switches (if equipped) ●
When the “-” paddle shift switch is operated in the “D” position, a shift range will
be automatically selected. The 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 w ill 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 or paddle shift switch
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 restrict ions warning buzzer
To help ensure safety and driving perf ormance, downshifting operation may some-
times be restricted. In some circumstances, downsh ifting may not be possible even
when the shift lever or a paddle shift swit ch (if equipped) is operated. (The warning
buzzer will sound twice.)

When trouble arises
8835-2. Steps to take in an emergency
LX570_OM_OM60L96U_(U) CAUTION■
When attempting to free a stuck vehicle
If you choose to push the vehicle back and forth to free it, make sure the surround-
ing area is clear, to avoid striking other vehicles, objects or people. The vehicle may
also lunge forward or lunge back sudden ly as it becomes free. Use extreme cau-
tion. ■
When shifting the shift lever
Be careful not to shift th e shift lever with the acc elerator pedal depressed.
This may lead to unexpected rapid acceleration of the vehicle that may cause an
accident resulting in de ath or serious injury.
NOTICE■
To avoid damaging the transm ission and other components●
Avoid spinning the rear wheels and depr essing the accelera tor pedal more than
necessary. ●
If the vehicle remains stuck even after these procedures are performed, the vehi-
cle may require towing to be freed. ●
When a warning message for the automatic transmission fluid temperature is dis-
played while attempting to free a stuck vehicle, immediately remove your foot
from the accelerator pedal and wait until the warning message disappears. Oth-
erwise, the transm ission may become damaged. (  P. 843)
