●If the engine is stopped while the vehicle height is being lowered, lowering will continue.
●If any luggage is removed from the vehicle
or if any occupants leave the vehicle within
approximately 30 seconds of the engine sw itch being turned OFF, the vehicle height
may be lowered by the auto leveling function.
●Operating the height select switch will have no effect while th e engine is stopped.
■Automatic change in vehicle height when the four-wheel drive control switch is in the
L4 position
If the vehicle speed exceeds 2 mph (3 km/h) while driving on an uneven road with the
four-wheel drive control switch in the “L4” position, high mode is automatically selected.
(On even roads, the height mode will not change.)
■Automatic change in vehicle height when in the high mode
●If the vehicle speed exceeds 18 mph (30 km/h) with the four-wheel drive control switch
in the “H4” position, normal mode is automatically selected.
●If the vehicle speed exceeds 30 mph (50 km/h) with the four-wheel drive control
switch in the “L4” position, the vehicle height is lowered to 1.0 in. (25 mm) higher than

■Extra high mode
If the vehicle becomes stuck or the Crawl Control system requests the vehicle height be
raised, extra high mode may be automatically selected when the vehicle height is in high
mode with the four-wheel drive control switch in the L4 position.
The vehicle height is raised to 0.8 in. (20 mm) higher than the high mode height, or
slightly higher.
●Extra high mode will change back to high mode when:
• The vehicle speed exceeds 6 mph (10 km/h)
• The four-wheel drive control switch is shifted to H4.
●If you pull the height select switch to “ ” when in extra high mode, normal mode is
selected.
●Extra high mode cannot be manually selected.
■Tu r n i n g o f f t h e h e i g h t c o n t r o l
●The system will remain off until the height co ntrol “OFF” switch is pushed again, even if
the engine switch is turned off.
●Even if the system is turned off, the system will intervene automatically if the vehicle
speed exceeds the following.
• 18 mph (30 km/h) with high or low mode
• 50 mph (80 km/h) with normal mode
■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 condi-
tion.
If the vehicle height cannot be raised even after unloading the vehicle, pull the height
select switch to “ ” then push to “ ”. If the vehicle height st ill cannot be raised, turn the
ignition off then on again, then try once more.
■When the vehicle is stopped during driving
The activation of the automatic leveling func tion 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 vehicle 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 cause
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.
■Cold weather operation
It may take longer for the vehicle height to change if the suspension fluid temperature
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, th e 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 will 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 oper ating. 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 gradu-
ally lower. When parking, make sure ther e 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 stopped, you may hear a sound caused by the expansion and
contraction of the propeller shaft. Th is does not indicate a malfunction.
■4-Wheel AHC failure warning
If a malfunction occurs in the 4-Wheel AHC , normal mode is automatically selected.
However, the system may not switch to norm al mode depending on the location of the
malfunction.
The warning message is displayed on the mu lti-information display, and the 4-Wheel
AHC cannot be activated until the malfunction is corrected.
Stop the engine and start it again. If the warning message turns off, the system is operat-
ing correctly. If the warning message continue s to be displayed, have the vehicle checked
at your Lexus dealer as soon as possible.

NOTICE
■How to use the camera
●The Multi-terrain Monitor system may not operate properly in the following cases.
• If the front or the rear of the vehicle or the outside rear view mirror has been hit, the camera’s position and mounting angle may have changed.
• As the camera has a water proof construction, do not detach, disassemble or modify it. This may cause incorrect operation.
• Do not strongly rub the camera lens. If th e camera lens is scratched, it cannot
transmit a clear image.
• Do not allow organic solvent, car wax, window cleaner or glass coat to adhere to the camera. If this happens, wipe it off as soon as possible.
• If the temperature changes rapidly, such as when hot water is poured on the vehi- cle in cold weather, the system may not operate normally.
• When washing the vehicle, do not apply intensive bursts of water to the camera or
camera area. Doing so may result in the camera malfunctioning.
• When the camera is used under fluorescen t lights, sodium light or mercury light
etc., the lights and the illuminate d areas may appear to flicker.
• The camera can be damaged by flying rocks and other debris.
●Do not expose the camera to strong impact as this could cause a malfunction. If this
happens, have the vehicle inspected by your Lexus dealer as soon as possible.

erable. In this event, stop the vehicle immediately in a safe place, and allow the brake sys-
tem to cool down sufficiently until the TR AC OFF indicator goes off. (There is no
problem with continuing normal driving.)
■Sounds and vibrations caused by the Mult i Terrain ABS, brake assist, Active TRAC,
VSC, Trailer Sway Control, hill-start assist control and VGRS
●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 any of these systems.
●Any of the following condit ions may occur when the above systems are operating.
None of these indicates 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.

●The shift lever is in D or S.
●The brake pedal is not depressed.
■VGRS is disabled in the following situations
●During stopping or the steering wheel has been moved for a long time while driving at
lower speeds.
●After the engine is restarted at less than -22°F (-30°C).
●If you disconnect the battery with the steeri ng wheel turned, the center position of the
steering wheel could be slightly and tempor ary changed. To initialize the VGRS, drive
