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

Q

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.

Q

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

Q

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

Q

Hill-start assist control

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

Q

EPS (Electric Power Steering)

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

Q

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.

Q

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

quently operates, Active Cornering

Assist may temporarily stop operating

to ensure proper operation of the

brakes, TRC, VSC.

Q

Hill-start assist control does not oper-

ate effectively when

O

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.

O

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.

Q

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.

Q

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.

Q

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.

Q

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.

Q

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.

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. (

P.100,

105)

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.

4-6. Driving tips

Dr

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.

• Engine/power control unit coolant
• Washer fluid

Have a service technician inspect
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
with four snow run-flat tires or pur-
chase 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.

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

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. Utility vehicles have a signifi-
cantly 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 designed to per-
form satisfactorily under off-road
conditions. Therefore, sharp turns at
excessive speeds may cause roll-
over.

Your vehicle is not designed to be
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

tread in relation to the height of its
center of gravity.

Utility vehicle feature

WARNING

Q

Utility vehicle precautions

Always observe the following precau-

tions to minimize the risk of death or seri-

ous injury or damage to your vehicle:

O

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.

O

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.

O

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.

O

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.

O

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

Q

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:

O

Drive carefully when off the road. Do

not take unnecessary risks by driving

in dangerous places.

O

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.

O

Always check your brakes for effec-

tiveness immediately after driving in

sand, mud, water or snow.

O

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.

O

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

Q

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.

O

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.

O

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.

O

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.
