temperatures, a warning message may be 
displayed or the sensor may not be able to 
detect an object. Once the ice melts, the 
system will return to normal.
■Sensor detection information
●The sensor’s detectio n areas are limited 
to the areas around the vehicle’s front and 
rear bumpers.
WARNING
●The sensors’ detection areas and reac-
tion times are limited. When moving 
forward or reversing, check the areas 
surrounding the vehicle (especially the 
sides of the vehicle) for safety, and 
drive slowly, using the brake to control 
the vehicle’s speed.

WARNING
■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 ti res 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, TRAC and VSC systems will 
not function correctly if different tires are 
installed on the vehicle.
Contact your Lexus dealer 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.

Driving
Drive your vehicle only in areas 
where off-road vehicles are permit-
ted to travel.
 Respect private property. Get 
owner’s permission before entering 
private property.
 Do not enter areas that are closed. 
Honor gates, barriers and signs that 
restrict travel.
 Stay on established roads. When 
conditions are we t, driving tech-
niques should be changed or travel 
delayed to prevent damage to 
roads.
■Additional informatio n for off-road driv-
ing
For owners in U.S. mainland, Hawaii and 
Puerto Rico:
To obtain additional information pertaining 
to driving your vehicle off-road, consult the 
following organizations.
●State and Local Parks and Recreation 
Departments
●State Motor Vehicle Bureau
●Recreational Vehicle Clubs
●U.S. Forest Service and Bureau of Land 
Management
WARNING
■Off-road driving precautions
Always observe the following precau-
tions to minimize the risk of death or seri-
ous injury or damage to your vehicle:
●Drive carefully when off the road. Do 
not take unnecessary risks by driving in 
dangerous places.
●Do not grip the steering wheel spokes 
when driving off-road. A bad bump 
could jerk the wheel and injure your 
hands. Keep both hands and especially 
your thumbs on the outside of the rim.
●Always check your brakes for effec-
tiveness immediately after driving in 
sand, mud, water or snow.
●After driving through tall grass, mud, 
rock, sand, water, et c., check that there 
is no grass, bush, paper, rags, stone, 
sand, etc. adhering or trapped to the 
underbody. Clear of f any such matter 
from the underbody. If the vehicle is 
used with these materials trapped or 
adhering to the underbody, a break-
down or fire could occur.
●When driving off-road or in rugged 
terrain, do not drive at excessive 
speeds, jump, make sharp turns, strike 
objects, etc. This may cause loss of 
control or vehicle rollover causing 
death or serious injury. You are also 
risking expensive damage to your 
vehicle’s suspension and chassis.
NOTICE
■To prevent water damage
Take all necessary safety measures to 
ensure that water damage to the engine 
or other components does not occur.
●Water entering the engine air intake 
will cause severe engine damage.
●Water entering the automatic trans-
mission will cause deterioration in shift 
quality, locking up of  your transmission 
accompanied by vibration, and ulti-
mately damage.
●Water can wash the grease from wheel 
bearings, causing rusting and prema-
ture failure, and may also enter the dif-
ferentials and transmission reducing 
the gear oil’s lubricating qualities.
■When you drive through water
If driving through water, such as when 
crossing shallow streams, first check the 
depth of the water and the bottom of the 
riverbed for firmness. Drive slowly and 
avoid deep water.
