generates braking force correspond-
ing to the brake operation

ABS (Anti-lock Brake System)

Helps to prevent wheel lock when the
brakes are applied suddenly, or if the
brakes are applied while driving on a
slippery road surface

Brake assist

Generates an increased level of brak-
ing force after the brake pedal is
depressed when the system detects a
panic stop situation

VSC (Vehicle Stability Control)

Helps the driver to control skidding
when swerving suddenly or turning on
slippery road surfaces

VSC + (Vehicle Stability Control +)

Provides cooperative control of the
ABS, TRC, VSC and EPS.

NOTICE

g

Helps to maintain directional stability
when swerving on slippery road sur-
faces by controlling steering perfor-
mance.

Secondary Collision Brake (if
equipped)

When the airbag sensor detects a colli-
sion, the brakes and brake lights are
automatically controlled to reduce the
vehicle speed and that helps reduce
the possibility of further damage due to
a secondary collision.

TRC (Traction Control)

Helps to maintain drive power and
prevent the drive wheels from spinning
when starting the vehicle or accelerat-
ing on slippery roads

Active Cornering Assist (ACA)

Helps to prevent the vehicle from drift-
ing to the outer side by performing
inner wheel brake control when
attempting to accelerate during cor-
nering

Hill-start assist control

Helps to reduce the backward move-
ment of the vehicle when starting on an
uphill

EPS (Electric Power Steering)

Employs an electric motor to reduce
the amount of effort needed to turn the
steering wheel

E-Four (AWD models)

Electronic On-Demand AWD system.
Automatically switches from front
wheel drive to all-wheel drive (AWD)

according to the driving conditions,
helping to ensure reliable handling and
stability. Examples of conditions where
the system will switch to AWD are
when cornering, going uphill, starting
off or accelerating, and when the road
surface is slippery due to snow, rain,
etc.

AVS (Adaptive Variable Suspen-
sion system) (if equipped)

By independently controlling the
damping force of the shock absorbers
for each of the 4 wheels according to
the road and driving conditions, this
system helps riding comfort with supe-
rior vehicle stability, and helps good
vehicle posture. If Sport S+ mode is
selected using the driving mode select
switch, the damping force will become
more suitable for sporty driving.

WARNING

The ABS does not operate effectively

when

The limits of tire gripping performance

have been exceeded (such as exces-

sively worn tires on a snow covered

road).

The vehicle hydroplanes while driving

at high speed on wet or slick roads.

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

maintain 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 pot-

holes 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.

Active Cornering Assist does not

operate effectively when

Do not rely solely upon Active Cor-

nering Assist. Active Cornering Assist

may not operate effectively when

WARNING

When Active Cornering Assist fre-

quently operates, Active Cornering

Assist may temporarily stop operating

to ensure proper operation of the

brakes, TRC, VSC.

Hill-start assist control does not oper-

ate 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/ABS/VSC 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 condi-

tions. As these are the systems to help

ensure vehicle stability and driving force,

do not turn the TRC/VSC systems off

unless necessary.

Secondary Collision Brake

Do not overly rely on 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.

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 reli-

able 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

When using Eco drive mode, the
torque corresponding to the accelera-
tor pedal depression amount can be
generated more smoothly than it is in
normal conditions. In addition, the
operation of the air conditioning sys-
tem (heating/cooling) will be mini-
mized, improving the fuel economy.
(

P.301)

The Eco-friendly driving is possible by
keeping the indicator of Hybrid System
Indicator within Eco area. (

Shift the shift lever to D when stopped
at a traffic light, or driving in heavy traf-
fic, etc. Shift the shift lever to P when
parking. When using the N, there is no
positive effect on fuel consumption. In
the N, the gasoline engine operates
but electricity cannot be generated.
Also, when using the air conditioning
system, etc., the hybrid battery (trac-
tion battery) power is consumed.



Drive your vehicle smoothly. Avoid
abrupt acceleration and decelera-
tion. Gradual acceleration and
deceleration will make more effec-
tive use of the electric motor (trac-
tion motor) without having to use
gasoline engine power.



Avoid repeated acceleration.
Repeated acceleration consumes
hybrid battery (traction battery)
power, resulting in poor fuel con-
sumption. Battery power can be
restored by driving with the acceler-
ator pedal slightly released.

Make sure to operate the brakes gen-
tly and in a timely manner. A greater
amount of electrical energy can be
regenerated when slowing down.

Repeated acceleration and decelera-
tion, as well as long waits at traffic
lights, will lead to bad fuel economy.
Check traffic reports before leaving
and avoid delays as much as possible.
When driving in a traffic jam, gently
release the brake pedal to allow the
vehicle to move forward slightly while
avoiding overuse of the accelerator
pedal. Doing so can help control
excessive gasoline consumption.

Hybrid vehicle driving tips

For economical and ecological
driving, pay attention to the follow-
ing points:

g

Control and maintain the vehicle at a
constant speed. Before stopping at a
toll booth or similar, allow plenty of
time to release the accelerator and
gently apply the brakes. A greater
amount of electrical energy can be
regenerated when slowing down.

Use the air conditioning only when
necessary. Doing so can help reduce
excessive gasoline consumption.
In summer: When the ambient tem-
perature is high, use the recirculated
air mode. Doing so will help to reduce
the burden on the air conditioning sys-
tem and reduce fuel consumption as
well.
In winter: Because the gasoline engine
will not automatically cut out until it and
the interior of the vehicle are warm, it
will consume fuel. Also, fuel consump-
tion can be improved by avoiding
overuse of the heater.

Make sure to check the tire inflation
pressure frequently. Improper tire
inflation pressure can cause poor fuel
economy.
Also, as snow tires can cause large
amounts of friction, their use on dry
roads can lead to poor fuel economy.
Use tires that are appropriate for the
season.

Carrying heavy luggage will lead to
poor fuel economy. Avoid carrying
unnecessary luggage. Installing a large
roof rack will also cause poor fuel
economy.

Since the gasoline engine starts up and
cuts out automatically when cold,
warming up the engine is unnecessary.
Moreover, frequently driving short dis-
tances will cause the engine to repeat-
edly warm up, which can lead to excess
fuel consumption.

the condition of the 12-volt battery.



Vehicles without run-flat tires: Have
the vehicle fitted with four snow tires
or purchase a set of tire chains for
the front tires.
Ensure that all tires are the same
size and brand, and that chains
match the size of the tires.



Vehicles with run-flat tires: It is rec-
ommended that the vehicle is fitted

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.

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.



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.

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
lever to P without setting the park-
ing 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 lead-
ing to an accident.

When the parking brake is in automatic
mode, release the parking brake after shift-
ing the shift lever to P. (



P.195)



If the vehicle is left parked with the
brakes damp in cold temperatures,
there is a possibility of the brakes
freezing.



If the vehicle is parked without set-
ting the parking brake, confirm that
the shift lever cannot be moved out
of P

: The shift lever will be locked if it is

attempted to be shifted from P to any
other position without depressing the
brake pedal. If the shift lever can be
shifted from P, there may be a problem
with the shift lock system. Have the vehi-
cle inspected by any authorized Lexus
retailer or Lexus authorized repairer, or
any reliable repairer.

NOTICE

Repairing or replacing snow tires

Request repairs or replacement of snow

tires from any authorized Lexus retailer

or Lexus authorized repairer, or any reli-

able repairer or legitimate tire retailers.

This is because the removal and attach-

ment of snow tires affects the operation

of the tire pressure warning valves and

transmitters.

driven off-road. However, in the event
that off-road driving cannot be
avoided, please observe the following
precautions to help avoid the areas

Utility vehicle precautions

This vehicle belongs to the utility
vehicle class, which has higher
ground clearance and narrower
tread in relation to the height of its
center of gravity.

Utility vehicle feature

WARNING

Utility vehicle precautions

Always observe the following precau-

tions to minimize the risk of death or 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 (if equipped) will make the cen-

ter of the vehicle gravity higher. Avoid

high speeds, sudden starts, sharp

turns, sudden braking or abrupt

maneuvers, otherwise it may result in

loss of control or vehicle rollover due

to failure to operate this vehicle cor-

rectly.

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.

Off-road driving

316

prohibited to vehicles.



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 wet, driving tech-
niques should be changed or travel
delayed to prevent damage to
roads.



AWD models: Avoid driving on
very steep, slippery roads and other
surfaces, such as sand, where the
tires are liable to lose traction. Your
vehicle may not perform as well as
conventional AWD on-road vehi-
cles on these surfaces.

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, etc., check that

there is no grass, bush, paper, rags,

stone, sand, etc. adhering or trapped

to the underbody. Clear off any such

matter from the underbody. If the vehi-

cle is used with these materials

trapped or adhering to the underbody,

a breakdown 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 hybrid

battery (traction battery), hybrid system

or other components does not occur.

Water entering the engine compart-

ment may cause severe damage to the

hybrid system. Water entering the

interior may cause the hybrid battery

stowed under the rear seats to short

circuit.

Water entering the hybrid transmis-

sion and rear electric motor (traction

motor) will cause deterioration in

transmission quality. The malfunction

indicator may come on, and the vehi-

cle may not be drivable.

Water can wash the grease from

wheel bearings, causing rusting and

premature failure, and may also enter

the hybrid transmission case, reducing

the gear oil’s lubricating qualities.

NOTICE

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.

Inspection after off-road driving

Sand and mud that has accumulated

around brake discs may affect braking

efficiency and may damage brake sys-

tem components.

Always perform a maintenance

inspection after each day of off-road

driving that has taken you through

rough terrain, sand, mud, or water.
