WARNING
■ TRC/VSC may not operate effectively when
Directional control and power may not be achievable while driving on slippery road sur-
faces, even if the TRC/VSC system 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 overly rely on Active Cornering Assist. Active Cornering Assist may not oper-
ate effectively when accelerating down slopes or driving on slippery road surfaces.
● When Active Cornering Assist frequently operates, Active Cornering Assist may
temporarily stop operating to ensure proper operation of the brakes, TRC and VSC.
■ Hill-start assist control does not operate 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 vehicle on an incline, as doing so may lead to an accident.
■ When the TRC/ABS/VSC/Trailer Sway Control is activated
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/Trailer Sway Control systems are turned off
Be especially careful and drive at a speed appropriate to the road conditions.
As these are the systems to help ensure vehicle stability and driving force, do not turn the
TRC/VSC/Trailer Sway Control systems 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 specified size, brand, tread pattern and total load
capacity. In addition, make sure that the tires are inflated to the recommended tire
inflation pressure level.
The ABS, TRC, Trailer Sway Control 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 reliable
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.
