WARNING

■

When the Active

TRAC/VSC/Trailer Sway Control

systems are turned off

Be especially careful and drive at a

speed appropriate to the road condi-

tions. As these are the systems to help

enhance vehicle stability and driving

force, do not turn the Active

TRAC/VSC/Trailer Sway Control sys-

tems off unless necessary.
Trailer Sway Control is part of the VSC

system and will not operate if VSC is

turned off or experiences a malfunction.

■

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 Multi Terrain ABS, Active TRAC,

Trailer Sway Control 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.

■

Trailer Sway Control precaution

The Trailer Sway Control system is not

able to reduce trailer sway in all situa-

tions. Depending on many factors such

as the conditions of the vehicle, trailer,

road surface and driving environment,

the Trailer Sway Control system may not

be effective. Refer to your trailer owner’s

manual for information on how to tow

your trailer properly.

■

If trailer sway occurs

Observe the following precautions.

Failing to do so may cause death or seri-

ous injury.

●

Firmly grip the steering wheel. Steer

straight ahead. Do not try to control

trailer swaying by turning the steering

wheel.

●

Begin releasing the accelerator pedal

immediately but very gradually to

reduce speed.

Do not increase speed. Do not apply

vehicle brakes.

If you make no extreme correction with
the steering or brakes, your vehicle and
trailer should stabilize. (

P.175)

■

Secondary Collision Brake

Do not rely solely upon the Secondary

Collision 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.

Specific design characteristics give
it a higher center of gravity than
ordinary passenger cars. This vehi-
cle design feature causes this type
of vehicle to be more likely to roll-
over. And, utility vehicles have a sig-
nificantly higher rollover rate than
other types of vehicles.



An advantage of the higher ground
clearance is a better view of the
road allowing you to anticipate
problems.



It is not designed for cornering at
the same speeds as ordinary pas-
senger cars any more than low-
slung sports cars are designed to
perform satisfactorily under off-
road conditions. Therefore, sharp
turns at excessive speeds may
cause the vehicle to rollover.

Off-road vehicle features

WARNING

■

Off-road vehicle precautions

Always observe the following precau-

tions to minimize the risk of death, seri-

ous injury or damage to your vehicle:

●

In a rollover crash, an unbelted person

is significantly more likely to die than a

person wearing a seat belt. Therefore,

the driver and all passengers should

always fasten their seat belts.

●

Avoid sharp turns or abrupt maneu-

vers, if at all possible.

Failure to operate this vehicle cor-

rectly may result in loss of control or

vehicle rollover causing death or seri-

ous injury.

●

Loading cargo on the roof luggage

carrier will make the center of the

vehicle gravity higher. Avoid high

speeds, sudden starts, sharp turns,

sudden braking or abrupt maneuvers,

otherwise it may result in loss of con-

trol or vehicle rollover due to failure to

operate this vehicle correctly.

●

Always slow down in gusty crosswinds.

Because of its profile and higher cen-

ter of gravity, your vehicle is more sen-

sitive to side winds than an ordinary

passenger car. Slowing down will

allow you to have better control.

●

Do not drive horizontally across steep

slopes. Driving straight up or straight

down is preferred. Your vehicle (or

any similar off-road vehicle) can tip

over sideways much more easily than

forward or backward.

WARNING

■

Off-road driving precautions

Always observe the following precau-

tions to minimize the risk of death, 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, rivers, etc., check that there

is no grass, bush, paper, rags, stone,

sand, etc. adhering or trapped on the

underbody. Clear off 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 the 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

premature failure, and may also enter

the differentials, transmission and

transfer case, 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.
