2017 LEXUS LS600H air condition

3364-5. Using the driving support systems
LS600h/LS600hL_EE(OM50G20E)
The vehicle height is maintained at the selected level regardless of the
number of occupants and luggage weight.
Turns high mode on/off.
When on, the “HEIGHT HIGH” indi-
cator will come on.
■Operating sound of the air suspension compressor
When the vehicle height is lowered, such as when entering or loading the vehicle, or
high mode is selected, the compressor may operate and a whirring sound may be
heard. This does not indicate a malfunction.
Electronically modul ated air suspension
By independently controlling the damping force of the shock absorbers
for each of the 4 wheels according to the road and driving conditions
and the selected driving mode, this system achieves ride comfort with
superior steering stability, an d ensures good vehicle posture.
In addition, vehicle height can be se lected according to road and driv-
ing conditions.

The rear radar sensor detects
objects approaching from behind
and determines whether a rear-end
collision is imminent based on the
position, speed and heading of the
object before it happens.
■System operating conditions
When the power switch is in ON mode and there is a possibility of a rear-end colli-
sion due to a vehicle in the same lane approaching from the rear, the system oper-
ates if all of the following conditions are met:
●Warning for the approaching vehicle (emergency flashers):
• The relative speed difference between your vehicle and the vehicle approach-
ing from behind is greater than about 30 km/h (18 mph).
• When the vehicle is stationary or moving forward while the brake pedal is
depressed.
• When the turn signal lights and emergency flashers are off.
●Whiplash mitigation (pre-crash intelligent head restraints):
• The relative speed difference between your vehicle and the vehicle approach-
ing from behind is greater than about 15 km/h (9 mph).
• Your vehicle is stopped or moving forward.
■Whiplash mitigation
The pre-crash intelligent head restraint may not stop in the proper position if a hat is
worn or the occupant’s hair is bound at the back.

■Using Eco drive mode
When using Eco drive mode, the torque corresponding to the acceler-
ator pedal depression amount can be generated more smoothly than it
is in normal conditions. In addition, the operation of the air conditioning
system (heating/cooling) will be minimized, improving the fuel econ-
omy. ( P. 334)
■Use of Hybrid System Indicator
The Eco-friendly driving is possible by keeping the indicate of Hybrid
System Indicator within Eco area. ( P. 119)
■When braking the vehicle
Make sure to operate the brakes gently and in good time. A greater
amount of electrical energy can be retained when slowing down.
■Delays
Repeated acceleration and deceleration, as well as long waits at traffic
lights, will lead to bad fuel consumption. Check traffic reports before
leaving and avoid delays as much as possible. When encountering a
delay, gently release the brake peda l to allow the vehicle to move for-
ward slightly while avoiding overuse of the accelerator pedal. Doing so
can help control excessive gasoline consumption.
■Highway driving
Control your speed and keep at a constant speed. Also, before stop-
ping at a toll booth or similar, allow plenty of time to release the acceler-
ator and gently apply the brakes. A greater amount of electrical energy
can be retained when slowing down.
Hybrid vehicle driving tips
For economical and ecological driving, pay attention to the following

■Air conditioning
Use the air conditioning only when necessary. Doing so can help con-
trol excessive gasoline consumption.
In summer: In high temperatures, use the recirculated air mode. Doing
so will help to reduce the burden on the air conditioner and reduce fuel
consumption as well.
In winter: Because the gasoline engine will not automatically cut out
until the gasoline engine and the interior of the vehicle are warm, it will
consume fuel. Also, fuel consumption can be improved by avoiding
overuse of the heater.
■Checking tire inflation pressure
Make sure to check the tire inflation pressure frequently. Improper tire
inflation pressure can cause poor fuel consumption.
Also, as snow tires can cause large amounts of friction, their use on dry
roads can lead to poor fuel consumption. Use a tire that is appropriate
for the season.
■Luggage
Carrying heavy luggage can lead to poor fuel consumption. Avoid car-
rying unnecessary luggage. Installing a large roof rack can also cause
poor fuel consumption.
■Warming up before driving
Since the gasoline engine starts up and cuts out automatically when
cold, warming up the engine is unnecessary. Moreover, frequently driv-
ing short distances will cause the engi ne to repeatedly warm up, which
can lead to poor fuel consumption.

Perform the following according to the driving conditions:
●Do not try to forcibly open a window or move a wiper that is frozen.
Pour warm water over the frozen area to melt the ice. Wipe away the
water immediately to prevent it from freezing.
●To ensure proper operation of the climate control system fan, remove
any snow that has accumulated on the air inlet vents in front of the wind-
shield.
●Check for and remove any excess ice or snow that may have accumu-
lated on the exterior lights, vehicle’s roof, chassis, around the tires or on
the brakes.
●Remove any snow or mud from the bottom of your shoes before getting
in the vehicle.
Accelerate the vehicle slowly, keep a safe distance between you and the
vehicle ahead, and drive at a reduced speed suitable to road conditions.
●Park the vehicle and move the shift lever to P without setting the park-
ing brake. The parking brake may free ze up, preventing it from being
released. If the vehicle is parked without setting the parking brake,
make sure to block the wheels.
Failure to do so may be dangerous because it may cause the vehicle to
move unexpectedly, possibly leading to an accident.
●If the vehicle is parked without setting the parking brake, confirm that
the shift lever cannot be moved out of P*.
*: The shift lever will be locked if it is attempted to be shifted from P to any other
position without depressing the brake pedal. If the shift lever can be shifted
from P, there may be a problem with the shift lock system. Have the vehicle
inspected by any authorized Lexus dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified
and equipped professional.
