LX570_OM_OM60N01U_(U)4-1. Before driving
WA R N I N G
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.
■When the vehicle is parked
●If the shift lever is moved before the low sp
eed four-wheel drive indicator turns on/off,
the transfer mode may not be shifted completely. The transfer mode disengages both
the front and rear driveshafts from the powertrain and allows the vehicle to move
regardless of the shift position. (At this time, the indicator blinks and the buzzer
sounds.)
Therefore, the vehicle is free to roll even if the automatic transmission is in P.
You or someone else could be seriously injure d. You must complete the shifting of the
transfer mode. ( P. 3 0 5 )
●Do not touch the exhaust pipes while the engine is running or immediately after turn-
ing the engine off.
Doing so may cause burns.
■When taking a nap in the vehicle
Always turn the engine off. Otherwise, if you accidentally move the shift lever or
depress the accelerator pedal, this could cause an accident or fire due to engine over-
heating. Additionally, if the vehicle is parked in a poorly ventilated area, exhaust gases
may collect and enter the vehicle, leadin g to death or a serious health hazard.
■When braking
●When the brakes are wet, drive more cautiously.
Braking distance increases when the brakes are wet, and this may cause one side of
the vehicle to brake differently than the other side. Also, the parking brake may not
securely hold the vehicle.
●If the power brake assist function does not operate, do not follow other vehicles
closely and avoid hills or sharp turns that re quire braking. In this case, braking is still
possible, but the brake pedal should be depressed more firmly than usual. Also, the
braking distance will increase. Have your brakes fixed immediately.
●Do not pump the brake pedal if the engine stalls.
Each push on the brake pedal uses up the reserve for the power-assisted brakes.
●The brake system consists of 2 individual hydraulic systems: If one of the systems fails,
the other will still operate. In this case, the brake pedal should be depressed more
firmly than usual and the bra king distance will increase.
Have your brakes fixed immediately.
■If the vehicle becomes stuck
Do not spin the wheels excessively when any of the tires is up in the air, or the vehicle is
stuck in sand, mud, etc. This may damage th e driveline components or propel the vehi-
cle forward or backward, causing an accident.

LX570_OM_OM60N01U_(U)4-1. Before driving
Stop your vehicle and a trailer in line and perform the following:
●Connecting a trailer
Put the 4-Wheel AHC in the “LO” (low) mode.
Turn off the engine switch or the 4-Wheel AHC.
Connect a trailer.
Turn on the engine switch or the 4-Wheel AHC.
Select the N (normal) mode with the height select switch.
When a vehicle loaded with four occupants tows a trailer of about 4000 lb.
(1800 kg) with more than about 400 lb. (180 kg) tongue load, the normal mode
may not be selected. However, there is no problem to continue normal driving.
Drive with sufficient care because of large load.
●Disconnecting a trailer
Put the 4-Wheel AHC in the “LO” (low) mode. (Make sure the vehicle
height is in the “LO” mode by pulling the switch to “ ” on the height select
switch.)
Turn off the engine switch or the 4-Wheel AHC.
Set the supporting leg of a trailer on the ground and raise the hitch by 4 in.
(100 mm).
Turn on the engine switch or the 4-Wheel AHC.
Wait for about 20 seconds until the re ar vehicle height is lowered by the
automatic leveling function.
Make sure the hitch is disconnected. If not, raise the hitch higher and
repeat steps 2 through 5.
Move the vehicle forward in the “LO” mode where the hitch does not touch
anything in the N (normal) mode.
Put the 4-Wheel AHC in the N mode.

Driving
Some modes may not be selectable depending on the vehicle speed when the
four-wheel drive control switch is in the H4 position. Refer to the following table.
You can select this mode for easy
access and easy loading of the vehicle.
If the engine switch is turned to OFF
within 30 seconds after the vehicle
stops while this mode is on, the vehicle
height is lowered automatically.
When the vehicle begins to lower a
beep will sound twice, and while the
vehicle is lowering the indicator light
will flash to alert the driver and sur-
rounding people that the vehicle is low-
ering.
The indicator light stops blin king, and comes on continuously to indicate that the
shift is completed.
Easy access mode is available if the following conditions have been met:
●The vehicle height mode is in normal mode.
●The vehicle is stopped on a flat surface.
●The shift lever is in P.
●The side door and the back door are not opened, with the vehicle stopped and
the engine switch is turned to off.
The following method will cancel the vehicle lowering operation and raise the
vehicle again:
●Press the height control OFF switch.
●Push the height select switch to “ ”.
