Active Traction Control System - Lexus GX470 2006 Service Manual

STARTING AND DRIVING
We recommend you to select the mode
driving. The damping effect will be changed automatically to
provide good riding comfort.
When your vehicle is loaded heavily or you are driving in an
unpaved road, the mode 3 or 4 will be recommended. To
provide good vehicle stability, the damping effect will be harder
than for ordinary driving mode.
With the four wheel drive control lever at "L", the damping
effect suitable for off road driving will be provided in any mode.

2 for ordinary ACTIVE TRACTION CONTROL
The active traction control system automatically helps
prevent the spinning of 4 wheels when the vehicle is
started or accelerated on slippery road surfaces.
When the ignition key is turned to "ON", the system
automatically turns on.
Under certain slippery road conditions, full traction of
the vehicle and power to the 4 wheels cannot be
maintained, even though the traction control system is
in operation. Do not drive the vehicle under any speed
or maneuvering conditions which may cause the
vehicle to lose traction control. In situations where the
road surface is covered with ice or snow, your vehicle
should be fitted with snow tires or tire chains. Always
drive at an appropriate and cautious speed for the
present road conditions.
