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. (
■
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.
When driving your vehicle off-road,
please observe the following precau-
tions to ensure your driving enjoyment
and to help prevent the closure of
areas to off-road vehicles:
Drive your vehicle only in areas
Off-road 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 to make it capable
of performing in a wide variety of
off-road applications.

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.

■
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.
