4-5. Using the driving support systems
WARNING
■Stopping distance when the ABS is operating may exceed that of normal conditions
The ABS is not designed to shorten the vehicle’s stopping distance. Always main-
tain a safe distance from the vehicle in front of you, especially in the following situations:
●When driving on dirt, gravel or snow-
covered roads
●When driving with tire chains
●When driving over bumps in the road
●When driving over roads with potholes or uneven surfaces
■TRC/VSC may not operate effec-tively when
Directional control and power may not be achievable while driving on slippery
road surfaces, even if the TRC/VSC sys- tem is operating.
Drive the vehicle carefully in conditions where stability and power may be lost.
■Hill- start assist control does not operate effectively when
●Do not overly rely on hill-start assist control. Hill-start assist control may
not operate effectively on steep inclines and roads covered with ice.
●Unlike the parking brake, hill-start assist control is not intended to hold
the vehicle stationary for an extended period of time. Do not attempt to use hill-start assist control to hold the vehi-
cle on an incline, as doing so may lead to an accident.
■When the TRC/VSC/ABS is acti-vated
The slip indicator light flashes. Always drive carefully. Reckless driving may
cause an accident. Exercise particular care when the indicator light flashes.
■When the TRC/VSC systems are turned off
Be especially careful and drive at a speed appropriate to the road conditions. As
these are the systems to help ensure vehicle stability and dr iving force, do not turn the TRC/VSC systems off unless
necessary.
■Secondary Collision Brake
Do not overly rely on the Secondary Col-
lision Brake. This system is designed to help reduce the possibility of further damage due to a secondary collision,
however, that effect changes according to various conditions. Overly relying on the system may result in death or serious
injury.
■Replacing tires
Make sure that all tires are of the speci-
fied size, brand, tread pattern and total load capacity. In addition, make sure that the tires are inflated to the recom-
mended tire inflation pressure level.
The ABS, TRC and VSC systems will not
function correctly if different tires are installed on the vehicle.
Contact any authorized Lexus retailer or Lexus authorized repairer, or any reliable
repairer for further information when replacing tires or wheels.
■Handling of tires and the suspension
Using tires with any kind of problem or modifying the suspension will affect the driving assist systems, and may cause a
system to malfunction.

4-6. Driving tips
Driving
Use fluids that are appropriate to
the prevailing outside temperatures.
•Engine oil
•Engine coolant
• Power control unit coolant (LC500h)
•Washer fluid
 Have a service technician inspect
the condition of the 12-volt battery.
 Have the vehicle fitted with four
snow tires.
Ensure that all tires are the specified size
and the same brand.
 Tire chains can only be installed on
the rear tires. However, tire chains
cannot be installed on 275/35RF21
or 275/40RF20 rear tires.
Before installing tire ch ains, change all four
tires and wheels to those of the specified
size for use with tire chains (front tires:
245/45RF20, rear tires: 245/45RF20,
wheels: 20 x 8 1/2 J 25 inset). Use the
specified type of tire chains and install
them on the rear tires only.
For details, contact any authorized Lexus
retailer or Lexus authorized repairer, or
any reliable repairer.
Winter driving tips
Carry out the necessary prepara-
tions and inspections before driving
the vehicle in winter. Always drive
the vehicle in a manner appropriate
to the prevailing weather condi-
tions.
Preparation for winter
WARNING
■Driving with snow tires
Observe the following precautions to
reduce the risk of accidents.
Failure to do so may result in a loss of
vehicle control and cause death or seri- ous injury.
●Use tires of the specified size.
●Maintain the recommended level of air pressure.
●Do not drive at speeds in excess of the
speed limit or the speed limit specified for the snow tires being used.
●Use snow tires on all, not just some wheels.
■Driving with tire chains
Observe the following precautions to reduce the risk of accidents.
Failure to do so may result in the vehicle being unable to be driven safely, and may
cause death or serious injury.
●Do not drive in excess of the speed limit specified for the tire chains being used, or 50 km/h (30 mph), which-
ever is lower.
●Avoid driving on bumpy road surfaces or over potholes.
●Avoid sudden acceleration, abrupt steering, sudden braking and shifting
operations that cause sudden engine braking.
●Slow down sufficiently before entering a curve to ensure that vehicle control is
maintained.
●Do not use LKA (Lane-Keeping Assist) system. (if equipped)

4-6. Driving tips
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.
 When the outside door handle is
frozen, unlock the doors using the
wireless remote control. If the out-
side door handles remain retracted
and do not move even if the doors
are unlocked using the wireless
remote control, pour warm water
over the frozen area to melt the ice
and wipe away the water immedi-
ately to prevent it from freezing. The
outside door handle may not retract
due to ice, however, the outside
door handle will return to the nor-
mal position after the ice melts.
 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
windshield.
 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.
■To protect windshield wipers
 P.198
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 shift the shift posi-
tion to P without setting the parking
brake. The parking brake may freeze
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.
NOTICE
■Repairing or replacing snow tires
Request repairs or re placement of snow
tires from any authorized Lexus retailer or Lexus authorized repairer, or any reli-able repairer.
This is because the removal and attach- ment of snow tires affects the operation
of the tire pressure warning valves and transmitters.
