LX570_450d_OM_OM60R63E_(GE)
Operate the Multi-terrain Select mode
selector switch during Multi-terrain
Select control to select a mode.
Once the mode is confirmed, the mode
name will be displayed and the control
will switch.
■ Automatic system cancelation
In the following situations, the Multi-terrain Select indicator will go off, and Multi-terrain
Select will be canceled automatically.
● When the four-wheel drive control switch is in “H4”.
● When Active TRC and VSC are off.
■ When it is difficult to generate traction
MUD & SAND mode provides the largest amount of tire slippage, followed by LOOSE
ROCK, MOGUL, ROCK & DIRT and ROCK mode.
Drivability can be improved by selecting a mode which provides a smaller amount of tire
slippage than the current mode when the amount of tire slippage is large, or conversely
selecting a mode which provides a larger amount of tire slippage than the current mode
when the amount of tire slippage is small.
■ When the vehicle is stuck
Switching the transfer and differential
For the operation of the following functions, refer to the following pages.
● Four-wheel drive system (P. 333)
● Center differential lock (P. 334)
■ When the brake system operates continuously
The brake system may overheat. In this case, a buzzer will sound, the TRC OFF indicator
will flash, and Multi-terrain Select will be temporarily inoperable. In this event, stop the
vehicle immediately in a safe place, and allow the brake system to cool down sufficiently.
(There is no problem with continuing normal driving.)
After a short time, the TRC OFF indicator will go off, and you will be able to use Multi-
terrain Select.
■ When there is a malfunction in the system
The slip indicator light will come on. Have the vehicle inspected by your Lexus dealer
immediately.
