Before driving
LX570_OM_OM60L96U_(U) CAUTION■
Pregnant women
■
People suffering illness
Obtain medical advice and wear the seat belt in the proper way. ■
When children are in the vehicle
Do not allow children to play with the se at belt. If the seat belt becomes twisted
around a child’s neck, it may lead to choking or other serious injuries that could
result in death.
If this occurs and the buckle cannot be unfastened, scissors should be used to cut
the belt. ■
Seat belt pretensioners ●
Do not place anything, such as a cushion, on the front passenger’s seat. Doing so
will disperse the passenger ’s weight, which prevents the sensor from detecting
the passenger’s weight proper ly. As a result, the seat belt pretensioner for the
front passenger’s seat may not activate in the event of a a collision.●
If the pretensioner has activated, the SRS warning light will come on. In that case,
the seat belt cannot be used again and must be replaced at your Lexus dealer.Obtain medical advice and wear the seat belt
in the proper way. (  P. 91)
Women who are pregnant should position
the lap belt as low as possible over the hips in
the same manner as other occupants. Extend
the shoulder belt completely over the shoul-
der and position the belt across the chest.
Avoid belt contact over the rounding of the
abdominal area.
If the seat belt is not worn properly, not only a
pregnant woman, but al so the fetus could suf-
fer death or serious inju ry as a result of sud-
den braking, sudden swerving or a collision.

LX570_OM_OM60L96U_(U) CAUTION■
Front passenger occupant classification system precautions
Observe the following precautions regardin g front passenger occupant classifica-
tion system.
Failure to do so may caus e death or serious injury.●
Wear the seat belt properly. ●
Make sure the front passenger ’s seat belt tab has not been left inserted into the
buckle before someone sits in the front passenger seat.●
Make sure the AIR BAG OFF indicator light is not illuminated when using the
seat belt extender for the front passe nger seat. If the AIR BAG OFF indicator
light is illuminated, disconnect the extender tongue from the seat belt buckle,
then reconnect the seat belt. Reconnect th e seat belt extender after making sure
the AIR BAG ON indicator light is illuminated. If you use the seat belt extender
while the AIR BAG OFF indicator light is illuminated, the SRS airbags for the
passenger may not activate correctly, whic h could cause death or serious injury
in the event of collision. ●
Do not apply a heavy load to the front passenger seat. ●
Do not put weight on the front passenger seat by putting your hands or feet on
the front passenger seat seatback from the second seat.●
Do not let a second seat pa ssenger lift the front passenger seat with their feet or
press on the seatback with their legs. ●
Do not put objects under the front passenger seat. ●
Do not recline the front passenger seatback so far that it touches a second seat.
This may cause the AIR BAG OFF indicator light to be illumin ated, which indi-
cates that the passenger’s airbags will no t deploy in the event of a severe acci-
dent. If the seatback touches the second seat, return the seatback to a position
where it does not touch the second seat . Keep the front passenger seatback as
upright as possible when the vehicle is moving. Reclining the seatback exces-
sively may lessen the effectiven ess of the seat belt system.

Automatic leveling function
The vehicle is adjusted to a fixed height for each mode, regardless of the number of
occupants and the luggage load. ●
However the vehicle cannot be raised if the vehicle load exceeds the following
limits:
• Up to 4 occupants
* plus approximately 661 lb. (300 kg) in the normal mode
• Up to 4 occupants
* plus approximately 441 lb. (200 kg) in the high mode
* : average weight 150 lb. (68 kg) per person●
If the vehicle height cannot be raised when in the normal mode, and “LO”
appears on the display, the vehicle is loaded too heavily. Take extra care when
driving in this condition.
If the vehicle height cannot be raised ev en after unloading the vehicle, pull the
height select switch to “  ” then push to “  ”. If the vehicle height still cannot be
raised, turn the ignition off then on again, then try once more.■
When the vehicle is st opped during driving
The activation of the automatic leveling function may cause the vehicle height to
change. This is not a malfunction. ■
If the vehicle height does not change
If the vehicle is loaded too heavily, or the undercarriage has come into contact with
the road surface, the vehicle height cannot be raised/lowered. ■
In the following cases the 4-Wheel AHC will not operate ●
The brake pedal has been depressed for a few seconds or longer while the vehi-
cle is stopped. ●
Vehicle height control has not been frequently used. ●
The suspension fluid temperature is lower than -22°F (-30°C). ●
There is ice on the suspension. ●
Driving on bumpy roads which may caus e the suspension to fully elongate.●
If the steering wheel is abruptly turned more than 3/4 of a revolution with the
center differential lock system activated.

LX570_OM_OM60L96U_(U) Cargo and luggage Take notice of the following informat ion about storage precautions, cargo
capacity and load.
● Stow cargo and luggage in th e luggage compartment whenever
possible.
● Be sure all items are secured in place.
● Be careful to keep the vehicle le vel. Placing the weight as far for-
ward as possible helps maintain vehicle balance.
● For better fuel economy, do not carry unnecessary weight.

LX570_OM_OM60L96U_(U) Capacity and distribution
Cargo capacity depends on the total weight of the occupants.
(Cargo capacity) = (Total load capa city) — (Total weight of occupants)
Steps for Determining Correct Load Limit—
(1) Locate the statement “The comb ined weight of occupants and
cargo should nev er exceed XXX kg or XXX lbs.” on your vehicle’s
placard.
(2) Determine the combined weight of the driver and passengers that
will be riding in your vehicle.
(3) Subtract the combin ed weight of the driv er and passengers from
XXX kg or XXX lbs.
(4) The resulting figure equals the available amount of cargo and lug-
gage load capacity.
For example, if the “XXX” amou nt equals 1400 lbs. and there will
be five 150 lb passengers in your vehicle, the amount of available
cargo and luggage load capacity is 650 lbs. (1400 - 750 (5  150)
= 650 lbs.)
(5) Determine the combined weight of luggage and cargo being
loaded on the vehicle. That weight may not safely exceed the avail-
able cargo and luggage load ca pacity calculated in Step 4.
(6) If your vehicle will be towing a trailer, load from your trailer will be
transferred to your vehicle. Consu lt this manual to determine how
this reduces the availabl e cargo and luggage lo ad capacity of your
vehicle. (  P. 375)

Cargo capacity
Total load capacity
(vehicle capacity weight)
(  P. 886)
When 2 people with the combined weight of A lb. (kg) are riding in your
vehicle, which has a total load capaci ty (vehicle capacity weight) of B lb.
(kg), the available amount of cargo and luggage load capacity will be C
lb. (kg) as follows:
B
* 2
lb. (kg) — A
* 1
lb. (kg) = C
* 3
lb. (kg)
* 1
: A = Weight of people
* 2
: B = Total load capacity
* 3
: C = Available cargo and luggage load
In this condition, if 3 mo re passengers with the comb ined weight of D lb. (kg)
get on, the available cargo and luggage load will be reduced E lb. (kg) as
follows:
C lb. (kg) — D
* 4
lb. (kg) = E
* 5
lb. (kg)
* 4
: D = Additional weight of people
* 5
: E = Available cargo and luggage load
As shown in the exampl e above, if the number of occupants increases,
the cargo and luggage load will be reduced by an amount that equals the
increased weight due to the additional occupants. In other words, if an
increase in the number of occupants causes an ex cess of the total load
capacity (combined weight of occupants plus cargo and luggage load),
you must reduce the cargo and luggage on your vehicle.

When driving
LX570_OM_OM60L96U_(U) CAUTION■
Weight of the load ●
Do not exceed the maximum axle weight ra ting or the total vehicle weight rating.●
Even if the total load of occupant’s weight and the cargo load is less than the total
load capacity, do not apply the load unevenly. Improper loading may cause dete-
rioration of steering or br aking control which may cause death or serious injury.■
Roof luggage carrier pr ecautions (if equipped)
To use the roof rails as a roof luggage carr ier, you must fit the roof rails with two or
more genuine Lexus cross ra ils or their equivalent.
When you load cargo on the roof lu ggage carrier, observe the following:●
Place the cargo so that its weight is di stributed evenly between the front and rear
axles. ●
If loading long or wide cargo, never exc eed the vehicle overall length or width.
(  P. 886)●
Before driving, make sure the cargo is securely fastened on the roof luggage car-
rier. ●
Loading cargo on the roof luggage carrier will make the center of the vehicle
gravity higher. Avoid high speeds, sudden starts, sharp turns, sudden braking or
abrupt maneuvers, otherwise it may result in loss of control or vehicle rollover
due to failure to operate this vehicle correct ly and result in death or serious injury.●
If driving for a long distance, on rough ro ads, or at high speed s, stop the vehicle
now and then during the trip to make sure the cargo re mains in its place.●
Do not exceed 154 lb. (70 kg) cargo weight on the roof luggage carrier.
