TRAILER TOWING
(vehicles without kinetic dynamic
suspension system)
Your vehicle is designed primarily as a passenger-and-load
carrying vehicle. Towing a trailer will have an adverse effect on
handling, performance, braking, durability and driving
economy (fuel consumption, etc.). Your safety and satisfaction
depend on the proper use of correct equipment and cautious
driving habits. For your safety and the safety of others, you
must not overload your vehicle or trailer. Lexus warranties do
not apply to damage or malfunction caused by towing a trailer
for commercial purposes. Ask your local Lexus dealer for
further details before towing.
CAUTION
When disconnecting a trailer, put the vehicle height in
the "LO" (low) mode and push the "HEIGHT CONTROL
OFF" switch to turn off the rear height control air
suspension.
Otherwise, the vehicle height may be
changed in the automatic leveling function, resulting in
accident.
For details see "Rear height control air
suspension" on page 411.
