WARNING
■When switching the vehicle height mode
Before lowering the vehicle height, check that there are no people under or around the
vehicle, and check for obstacles.
If you do not do this, body parts may be ca
ught in the vehicle, possibly leading to an
accident.
■Using the high mode
The high mode should only be used when driving on rough roads, for example when
driving off-road. Because the vehicle’s center of gravity will become higher when in the
mode, the vehicle may become unstable when turning abruptly, resulting in an acci-
dent.
■When jacking up the vehicle or installing tire chains
Turn off the height control and stop the engine, otherwise the vehicle height may
change due to the automatic leveling function and you may catch part of your body in
the vehicle, resulting in an accident.
■When crossing rivers
Select the high mode and turn off the heig ht control. Drive at 18 mph (30 km/h) or
lower. Otherwise the vehicle height may change due to the automatic leveling function,
resulting in an accident.
■If your vehicle must be towed
Put the vehicle height in the normal mode and turn off the height control, otherwise the
vehicle height may change due to the automatic leveling function and you may catch
part of your body in the vehi cle, resulting in an accident.
■If your vehicle becomes stuck in a ditch
Turn off the height control, otherwise the vehicle height may change due to the auto-
matic leveling function, resulting in an accident.
■When loading cargo on the roof luggage carrier
Do not switch to high mode. Sudden steering could cause the vehicle to lose stability
due to the vehicle’s higher center of gr avity, possibly leading to an accident.

NOTICE
■When parking in areas with limited overhead height
After leaving the vehicle or unloading the luggage, the vehicle height may be slightly
higher than normal. Take care wh en overhead height is limited.
■To avoid damage to the vehicle
●Normal mode will be switched to automatically even if the vehicle is started off in low
mode. Take care when overhead height is limited.
●Do not select the low mode when driving on bumpy roads, as the underbody of the
vehicle may contact the road surface.
●When traveling on bumpy roads or throug h water, or when towing, turn off easy
access mode.
■Avoid rapid changes to the vehicle height
As the pump may overheat. Leave at a few seconds between selections when changing
the vehicle height mode.

■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 indicator 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 seconds 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, stop 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.
