LX570_OM_OM60Q78U_(U) 4-5. Using the driving support systems
Lock the center differential when your
vehicle’s wheels get stuck in a ditch or
when driving on a slippery or bumpy
surface. The center differential lock indicator will
come on.
Unlock the center differential after the
wheels have been fr eed, or after moving
to a flat, non-slippery surface.
To unlock the center differential, push the switch again.

Shift the shift lever to N.
Push and shift the four-wheel drive control switch to H4. Maintain this condition until the low sp eed four-wheel drive indicator turns off.■
The four-wheel drive control switch can be operated when ●
The engine switch is in IGNITION ON mode. ●
The shift lever is in the N position. ●
The vehicle is stopped completely. ■
The low speed four-wheel drive indicator light
The indicator light blinks while shifting between H4 and L4.■
Advice for driving on slippery roads ●
If you shift the four-wheel drive control switch to L4 and the shift lever to the 2 range of
S or D (vehicles with paddle shift switches) while driving in steep off-road areas, the
output of the brake can be co ntrolled effectively by the Ac tive TRAC, which assists the
driver to control the driving power of 4 wheels. ●
Use the 1 range of S or D (vehicles with pa ddle shift switches) for maximum power and
traction when your wheels get stuck or when driving down a steep incline.Center differential lock/unlock switch

Driving ■
The center differential lock indicator light
The indicator light blinks while locking/unlocking the center differential.■
The center differential lock/unlock switch can be operated when ●
The engine switch is in IGNITION ON mode. ●
The vehicle speed is less than 62 mph (100 km/h). ■
Locking/unlocking the center differential●
When the four-wheel drive control switch is in L4 with the center differential locked,
VSC is automatically turned off. (The center differential lock and VSC OFF indicator
lights come on.) ●
If the operation is not completed, the center di fferential lock indicato r blinks. If the indi-
cator light does not turn off when unlocking the center diff erential, drive straight ahead
while accelerating or decelera ting, or drive in reverse.●
If the center differential lock/unlock is no t completed within 5 se conds while the cruise
control system is on, cancel the cruise control system.■
If the low speed four-wheel driv e indicator light or the center differential lock indicator
light blinks ●
If the low speed four-wheel drive indicator lig ht continues to blink when using the four-
wheel drive control switch, st op the vehicle completely, move the shift lever to N and
operate the switch again. ●
If the shift lever is moved before the low speed 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 po wertrain 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 injured. You must complete the shifting of the transfer
mode.
To complete the shifting, stop the vehicle co mpletely, return the shift lever to N, and
confirm that the shift was completed (the indicator turns on/off). ●
If the engine coolant temperature is too low, the four-wheel drive control system may
not be able to shift. When the engine is warmer operate the switch again.
If the low speed four-wheel drive indicator light or the center differential lock indicator
light continues to blink even after attempting the above, there may be a malfunction in
the engine, the brake system or the four-wheel drive system. In this case, you may not be
able to shift between H4 and L4, and the cent er differential lock may not be operable.
Have the vehicle inspected by your Lexus dealer immediately.

Interior features ■
Using automatic mode
Fan speed is adjusted automatically according to the temperature setting and the ambi-
ent conditions.
Therefore, the fan may stop for a while until wa rm or cool air is ready to flow immediately
after the is pressed or on the control screen is selected. ■
Operation of the air conditioning system in Eco drive mode ●
In the Eco drive mode, the air conditioning sy stem is controlled as follows to prioritize
fuel efficiency
• Engine speed and compressor operation controlled to restrict heating/cooling
capacity
• Fan speed restricted when automatic mode is selected ●
To improve air conditioning performa nce, perform the following operations
• Adjust the fan speed
• Turn off Eco mode ■
Using the voice command system
Air conditioning system can be operated using voic e commands. For details, refer to the
“NAVIGATION SYSTEM OWNER’S MANUAL”. ■
Fogging up of the windows ●
The windows will easily fog up when the hu midity in the vehicl e is high. Selecting
will dehumidify the air from the outlets and defog the windshield effectively. ●
If you turn off, the wind ows may fog up more easily.●
The windows may fog up if the recirculated air mode is used. ■
Outside/recirculated air mode ●
When driving on dusty roads such as tunnels or in heavy traffic, set the outside/recircu-
lated air mode button to the recirculated air mode. This is effective in preventing out-
side air from enteri ng the vehicle interior. During cooling operation, setting the
recirculated air mode will also cool the vehicle interior effectively. ●
Outside/recirculated air mode may automa tically switch depending on the tempera-
ture setting or the inside temperature. ■
When the outside temperature exceeds 75 ° F (24 ° C) and the air conditioning system
is on ●
In order to reduce the air co nditioning power consumption, the air conditioning system
may switch to recirculated air mode automatically.
This may also reduce fuel consumption. ●
Recirculated air mode is selected as a defaul t mode when the engine switch is turned to
IGNITION ON mode. ●
It is possible to switch to outside air mode at any time by pressing .■
Automatic mode for air intake control
In automatic mode, the system detects exhaust gas and other pollutants and automati-
cally switches between outside air and recirculated air modes.
When the dehumidification function is off, and the fan is operating, turning automatic
mode on will activate the dehumidification function.

The dehumidification function may not operate even when is selected. ■
Micro dust and pollen filter ●
In order to prevent the windows from fogging up when the outside air is cold, the fol-
lowing may occur.
• Outside air mode does not swit ch to recirculated air mode.
• The air conditioning system operates automatically.
• The operation cancels after 1 minute. ●
In rainy weather, the windows may fog up. Press . ■
The rear window defogger, outside rear vi ew mirror defogger and windshield wiper de-
icer can be operated when
The engine switch is in IGNITION ON mode. ■
When the windshield wiper de-icer is on
The windshield wiper de-icer will automatically turn off after approximately 15 minutes.■
Ventilation and air conditioning odors ●
To let fresh air in, set the air conditioning system to the outside air mode. ●
During use, various odors from inside and outside the vehicle may enter into and accu-
mulate in the air conditioning system. This may then cause odor to be emitted from the
vents. ●
To reduce potential odors from occurring:
• It is recommended that the air conditioning system be set to outside air mode prior
to turning the vehicle off.
• The start timing of the blower may be dela yed for a short period of time immediately
after the air conditioning system is started in automatic mode.■
While the cool box is on (if equipped)
The front air conditioning sy stem cannot be turned off.■

WARNING ■
To prevent the windshield from fogging up ●
Do not use during cool air operation in extremely humid weather. The differ-
ence between the temperature of the outside air and that of the windshield can cause
the outer surface of the windshield to fog up, blocking your vision.■
To prevent burns ●
Do not touch the rear view mirror surfaces when the outside rear view mirror defog-
gers are on. ●
Do not touch the glass at lower part of the windshield or to the side of the front pillars
when the windshield wiper de-icer is on.
