The paper used, referred to in the printing industry as “Lexus Pursuit 30,” is composed of 30% post-consumer waste29—the most we’ve ever used and 20% more than traditional brochures. It’s also manufactured with 100% renewable energy and has garnered just about every environmentally responsible acronym you can imagine. Including FSC, SFI and PEFC certifications, and ECF and PH-neutral designations. The printing facility that was used also has a long list of environmental achievements, including certification as the only one in the United States to be virtually VOC-free.

For optimal tire wear and performance, tire pressure should be checked regularly with a gauge; do not rely solely on the monitor system. Please see your Owner’s Manual for details. 13. Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) is an electronic system designed to help the driver maintain vehicle control under adverse conditions. It is not a substitute for safe driving practices. Factors including speed, road conditions and driver steering input can all affect whether VSC will be effective in preventing a loss of control. Please see your Owner’s Manual for further details. 14. All the airbag (“AB”) systems are Supplemental Restraint Systems. All ABs (if installed) are designed to inflate only under certain conditions and in certain types of severe collisions: frontal and knee ABs typically inflate in frontal collisions; side and side curtain ABs in side collisions; RollSensing Curtain ABs at a severe tilt degree, roll or lateral G-force. In all other accidents, the ABs will not inflate. To decrease the risk of injury from an inflating AB, always wear seatbelts, sit upright in the middle of the seat as far back as possible and do not lean against the door. Do not put objects in front of an AB or around the seatback. Do not use a rearward-facing childseat in any front passenger seat. The force of an inflating AB may cause serious injury or death. Please see your Owner’s Manual for further information/warnings. 15.

Discrepancies may be encountered between the system and your actual location. Road system changes may affect the accuracy of the information provided. Rely on your common sense to decide whether to follow a specified route. Detailed coverage not available in every city or roadway. Periodic updates available at an additional cost. Please see your Navigation System Owner’s Manual for further details. 19. The backup camera, available only with the Navigation System, 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 will limit effectiveness and view may become cloudy. 20.

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. 29. Cover stock is composed of 10% post-consumer waste. It’s a phrase we use a lot. But what does it really mean? The answer isn’t only found in wood and leather, but in the pursuit of insight and ideas. And how they get transformed into world-class innovations, unexpected experiences and a commanding, capable ride. This is the 2009 GX. And these are the pursuits that built it. *Lexus strives to build vehicles to match customer interest, and thus they typically are built with popular options and option packages. Not all options/packages are available separately, and some may not be available in all regions of the country. See lexus.com for information about options/packages commonly available in your area. If you would prefer a vehicle without any or with different options, contact your dealer to check for current availability or the possibility of placing a special order.

So we added specific technologies to boost the vehicle’s capability. one example allows drivers to better ascend steep hills by helping to prevent rollback. Another helps maintain a slow and even speed and provides greater control as the vehicle descends. And a third offers a unique suspension that can nearly neutralize rough terrain. by pursuing true off-road capability, and still maintaining our high standards of luxury, we’ve arrived at something remarkable: the 2009 Lexus GX. now, it’s time to chase your pursuits.

To counter this, the Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System uses hydraulic cylinders to adjust the bars in off-road conditions. When unequal wheel load is detected, fluid will flow between the front and rear cylinders to disengage the stabilizer bars. This computer-controlled suspension system allows more wheel articulation off-road and helps enhance handling on-road. For a demonstration, please visit lexus.com/GX/KDSS.

DAC is designed to help the driver maintain vehicle control and speed on steep downhill descents. HAC is designed to help minimize backward rolling on steep ascents.

Factors including speed, grade, surface conditions and driver input can all affect whether DAC and HAC will be effective in preventing a loss of control. Please see your Owner’s Manual for further details. 2. Brake Assist is designed to help the driver take full advantage of the benefits of ABS. It is not a substitute for safe driving practices.

Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) is an electronic system designed to help the driver maintain vehicle control under adverse conditions. It is not a substitute for safe driving practices.

All ABs (if installed) are designed to inflate only under certain conditions and in certain types of severe collisions: frontal and knee ABs typically inflate in frontal collisions; side and side curtain ABs in side collisions; RollSensing Curtain ABs at a severe tilt degree, roll or lateral G-force. In all other accidents, the ABs will not inflate. To decrease the risk of injury from an inflating AB, always wear seatbelts, sit upright in the middle of the seat as far back as possible and do not lean against the door. Do not put objects in front of an AB or around the seatback. Do not use a rearward-facing childseat in any front passenger seat. The force of an inflating AB may cause serious injury or death. Please see your Owner’s Manual for further information/warnings. 15.
