Directional control and power may not be achievable wh ile driving on slippery road
surfaces, even if the TRAC system is operating.

■Hill-start assist control does not operate effectively when
●Do not overly rely on the hill-start assist control. The hill-start assist control may not
operate effectively on steep inclines and roads covered with ice.
●Unlike the parking brake, hill-start assist co ntrol is not intended to hold the vehicle

capacity and have similar tread depths. In addi tion, make sure that the tires are inflated
to the recommended tire inflation pressure level.
The ABS, TRAC and VSC systems will not func tion correctly if different size tires are
installed on the vehicle.
Contact your Lexus dealer for further in formation when replacing tires or wheels.
