Customization
The distance that the driver’s seat move s backward during the auto away function
can be changed. (Customizable features P. 912)
CAUTION■
Seat adjustment ●
Be careful that the seat does not hit passengers or luggage. ●
Do not recline the seat more than necessary when the vehicle is in motion to
reduce the risk of sliding under the lap belt.
If the seat is too reclined, during an accident the lap belt may slide past the hips
and apply restraint forces di rectly to the abdomen or your neck may contact the
shoulder belt, increasing the ri sk of death or serious injury.
Adjustments should not be made while driving as the seat may unexpectedly
move and cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle.

Before driving
LX570_OM_OM60L96U_(U) Linked mirror function when reversing
When the mirror select switch is in the L or R position, the outside rear
view mirror will automatically angl e downwards when the vehicle is
reversing in order to give a better view of the ground.
To disable this function, move the mirror select sw itch to the neutral posi-
tion (between L and R).
■ Adjusting the mirror angle when the vehicle is reversing
With the shift lever in R, adjust the mirror angle at a desired position.
The adjusted angle will be memorize d and the mirror will automatically
tilt to the memorized angle whenever the shift lever is shifted to R from
next time.
The memorized tilt position of mirror is linked to the normal position
(angle adjusted with the shift lev er in other than R). Therefore, if the
normal position is changed after adjustment, the tilt position will also
change.
When the normal position is change d, readjust the angle in reversing.

LX570_OM_OM60L96U_(U) CAUTION■
SRS airbag precautions
Observe the following precautions regarding the SRS airbags.
Failure to do so may caus e death or serious injury.●
The driver and all passengers in the vehicl e must wear their seat belts properly.
The SRS airbags are supplemental device s to be used with the seat belts.●
The SRS driver airbag deploys with considerable force, and can cause death or
serious injury especially if the driver is very close to the airbag. The National
Highway Traffic Safety Administration (“NHTSA”) advises:
Since the risk zone for the dr iver’s airbag is the first 2 - 3 in. (50 - 75 mm) of infla-
tion, placing yourself 10 in. (250 mm) from your driver airbag provides you with a
clear margin of safety. This distance is measured from the center of the steering
wheel to your breastbone. If you sit less than 10 in. (250 mm) away now, you can
change your driving position in several ways:
• Move your seat to the rear as far as you can while still reaching the pedals
comfortably.
• Slightly recline the back of the seat.
Although vehicle designs vary, many dr ivers can achieve the 10 in. (250 mm)
distance, even with the driver seat all the way forward, simply by reclining the
back of the seat somewhat. If reclining the back of your seat makes it hard to
see the road, raise yourself by using a fi rm, non-slippery cushion, or raise the
seat if your vehicle has that feature.
• If your steering wheel is adjustable, ti lt it downward. This points the airbag
toward your chest instead of your head and neck.
The seat should be adjusted as recomme nded by NHTSA above, while still main-
taining control of the foot pedals, steeri ng wheel, and your view of the instrument
panel controls. ●
The portion of the front, side and rear pil-
lars or roof side rail garnishes (padding)
containing the curtain shield airbags is
inside scratched, cr acked, or otherwise
damaged.

When driving
LX570_OM_OM60L96U_(U) CAUTION ●
When stopped on an inclined surface, use the brake pedal and parking brake to
prevent the vehicle from rolling backward or forward and causing an accident.●
Do not adjust the position of the steering wheel, the seat, or the inside or outside
rear view mirrors while driving.
Doing so may result in a loss of vehicle control that can cause accidents that may
result in death or serious injury. ●
Always check that all passengers’ arms, heads or other parts of their bodies are
not outside the vehicle, as this may result in death or serious injury. ●
Do not drive in excess of the speed limit. Even if the legal speed limit permits it, do
not drive over 85 mph (140 km/h) unless your vehicle has high-speed capability
tires. Driving over 85 mph (140 km/h) may result in tire failure, loss of control
and possible injury. Be sure to consult a tire dealer to determine whether the tires
on your vehicle are high-speed capability tires or not before driving at such
speeds. ●
When crossing rivers, turn off height co ntrol after putting the vehicle height in
high mode, and drive at 18 mph (30 km/h) or less. Otherwise the vehicle height
may change due to the automatic leveling function, resulting in an accident.
( P. 320)■
When driving on slippery road surfaces ●
Sudden braking, acceleration and steering may cause tire slippage and reduce
your ability to control the vehi cle, resulting in an accident.●
Sudden acceleration, engine braking due to shifting, or changes in engine speed
could cause the vehicle to skid, resulting in an accident. ●
After driving through a puddle, lightly de press the brake pedal to make sure that
the brakes are functioning properly. Wet brake pads may prevent the brakes
from functioning properly. If the brakes on only one side are wet and not func-
tioning properly, steering control may be affected, resulting in an accident.

the following serious damage to the vehicle. ●
Engine stalling ●
Short in electrical components ●
Engine damage caused by water immersion
In the event that you drive on a flooded ro ad and the vehicle is flooded, be sure to
have your Lexus dealer check the following. ●
Brake function ●
Changes in quantity and quality of oil an d fluid used for the engine, transmission,

LX570_OM_OM60L96U_(U) Back up keeping the steering
wheel in its current position
Curved blue line
Curved blue line meets the cor-
ner here If you back up too quickly, you may
lose synchronization with the par-
allel parking assist.
Leaving the vehicle stopped, turn the steering wheel all the way
to the left. Be sure to turn the steering whee l only when the vehicle is stopped.
When the screen changes, keep the steering wheel in its current
position and back up. When backing up, be careful not to hit any obstacles with the right front
corner of your vehicle. Back the vehicle up slowly.
When the vehicle is parallel wi th the road or the shoulder,
straighten the steering wheel.
Check your surroundings visually and with the mirrors, then back
up using the distance guide lines as a reference, and stop.When the vehicle is approximately in the desired parking location, the
parallel parking assist is complete.STEP 8
