Exterior

[1] 20-in performance tires are expected to experience greater tire wear than conventional tires.  Tire life may be susbstantially less than 20,000 miles, depending upon driving conditions.

Power Rear Door
With the rear door's clamshell design, it's easier than ever to load all your cargo. Buttons located in the vehicle's interior, as well as the key fob, open and close the upper tailgate with just one touch. The lower tailgate can be manually raised and lowered aiding cargo access.

Dual-Swivel Adaptive Front Lighting
With the Dual-swivel Adaptive Front Lighting System (AFS)[1], at speeds above 6 mph, your headlamps turn to help illuminate curves ahead. Depending on steering input, the headlamps can rotate up to 9 degrees in a left turn and up to 4 degrees in a right turn.

During daylight hours, daytime running lights help make the LX more visible to oncoming motorists. Automatic headlamp washers can also be set to deploy when you use the front windshield wipers, removing dirt and debris, helping to ensure a clear view of the road ahead.

[1] The Adaptive Front Lighting System can help improve vision at night.  However, conditions such as dirty windshield, rapidly changing light conditions or hilly terrain will limit effectiveness so the driver may need to manually change the high beams from on to off.  See your Owner's Manual for details.

Backup Camera
Backing out of tight spaces is much easier with the backup camera [1].  When the vehicle is placed in reverse, a tiny camera located above the rear license plate provides a view of what's behind, which is conveniently displayed in full color on the Navigation System [2] screen.

[1] The backup camera does not provide a comprehensive view of the rear area of the vehicle.  You should also look around outside your vehicle and use your mirrors to confirm rearward clearance.  Cold weather may limit effectiveness and view may become cloudy.
[2] Availability and accuracy of the information provided by the Navigation System or any XM services mentioned (if installed) are dependent upon many factors.  Use common sense when relying on information provided.  Services not available in every city or roadway.  Periodic Navigation updates available at additional cost.  Please see your Navigation System Owner's Manual or contact XM for details.

Tow Hitch
With the LX's 7,000-pound towing capacity [1], the integrated tow hitch allows you to haul a variety of items, including boats and horse trailers.

[1] Before towing, confirm your vehicle and trailer are compatible, hooked up properly and you have any necessary additional equipment.  If gross trailer weight is above 5,000 lbs (2,268 kg), it is necessary to use a weight distributing hitch with sufficient capacity.  Do not exceed any Weight Ratings and follow all instructions and cautions from your trailer-hitch manufacturer and vehicle Owner's Manual.  The maximum amount you can tow depends on the total weight of any cargo, occupants and available equipment.

Front Wiper Deicer
When the deicer is activated, a heating element in the lower windshield aids in melting any ice that has accumulated on the wiper blades.

Wide-view Front and Side Monitor
The LX is the first in its class to offer an available Wide-view Front and Side Monitor [1] that helps enhance visibility when driving around corners and while parking.  Operated at speeds less than 7.5 mph, a camera incorporated into the front grille of the LX helps you see around blind corners, such as when exiting a parking garage or when maneuvering around a tight corner.  A second camera located underneath he passenger side-mirror provides a view of the ground next to the vehicle, which makes parking alongside a curb easier.  Both views can be displayed simultaneously on the navigation screen when the system is activated.

[1] The Wide-view Front and Side Monitor does not provide a comprehensive view of the front and side areas of the vehicle.  You should also look around outside your vehicle, and use your mirrors to confirm clearance.  Cold weather will limit effectiveness and view may become cloudy.<>

Smart Access
The SmartAccess [1] [2] system includes two key fobs that let you securely lock or unlock your doors and start the engine without using traditional keys.  The key fobs also allow you to open the rear liftgate.  An available key card is also included that fits neatly in your wallet, similar in size to a credit card.

[1] The SmartAccess system may interfere with some pacemakers or cardiac defibrillators. If you have one of these medical devices, please talk to your doctor to see if you should deactivate this system.
[2]] The engine immobilizer is a state-of-the-art anti-theft system. The key transmits an electronic code to the vehicle. The engine will only start if the code in the transponder chip inside the key matches the code in the vehicle’s immobilizer. Because the transponder chip is embedded in the key, it can be costly to replace. If you lose a key, your Lexus dealer can help, or you can find a qualified independent locksmith to perform high security key services at www.aloa.org.

Dynamic Radar Cruise Control
While cruise control is standard on the LX, the available Dynamic Radar Cruise Control [1] system automatically adjusts the throttle and applies the brakes as needed to maintain a pre-set following distance from the vehicle traveling in front of you.  Once the system determines the lane is clear or traffic has sped up, it will return the LX to its original cruising speed.
[1] Dynamic Radar Cruise Control is designed to assist the driver and is not a substitute for safe and attentive driving practices.Please see your Owner's Manual for important cautions and instructions.
