2-4. Using other driving systems

CAUTION

■

If the hill-start assist control does not operate effectively

Do not overly rely on the hill-start assist control. The hill-start assist control may not

operate effectively on steep inclines and roads covered in ice.

■

When the VSC is activated

The slip indicator light flashes. Always drive carefully. Reckless driving may cause

an accident, resulting in death or serious injury. Exercise particular care when the

indicator light flashes.

■

When TRAC and VSC are off

Be especially careful and drive at a speed appropriate to the road conditions. As

these are systems to help enhance vehicle stability and driving force, do not turn off

TRAC and VSC unless necessary.

■

Replacing tires

Make sure that all tires are of the designated size and total load capacity, and of the

same brand and tread pattern. In addition, make sure that the tires are inflated to the

recommended tire pressure level.

The ABS, VSC and TRAC systems will not function correctly if different tires are fit-

ted on the vehicle.

Contact your Lexus dealer for further information when replacing tires or wheels.

■

Handling of tires and suspension

Using tires with any kind of problem or modifying the suspension will affect the driv-

ing assist systems, and may cause the system to malfunction.
