2006 LEXUS GX 1 2006 LEXUS GX Scaling Mountains 1 Steep hills always pose a challenge, which is why the GX employs a highly evolved technology called Downhill Assist Control (DAC) . When descending steep grades, one touch of a button instructs DAC to administer braking as needed to maintain an even speed of descent. All you need to 1 do is steer. The GX is also equipped with Hill-start Assist Control (HAC) . HAC helps control the GX from rollback during that brief moment when your foot travels from brake to accelerator before beginning an ascent. 1 See page 16 for more information. 2 There are those who view driving as nothing more than a penance between destinations. But a GX driver sees all those miles as an opportunity for adventure, particularly if they find themselves on the road less traveled. Or beyond any road at all. In such cases, the GX, equipped with our available Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System (KDSS), gives you the freedom—and the technology— to make the most of any terrain. By freeing the stabilizer bar connecting one rear wheel to the other, KDSS allows a separate articulation for each wheel. So one wheel can tackle uneven terrain while the other side of the vehicle remains relatively unaffected. Best of all, it engages automatically, without disturbing the driver for directives of any kind. Traditional suspension systems are tuned to perform well on paved roads, with the simple goal of ride comfort and control in turns. But off-road suspensions have different needs—primarily to maintain contact with the ground on uneven surfaces. The GX, available with a Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System (KDSS), achieves this feat with stabilizer bars that can allow each wheel to move with less restriction. This flexibility helps to prevent vehicle tilt on rocky roads, without sacrificing ride smoothness when the terrain evens out. 3 The GX is equipped with a 4.7-liter V8 engine—the largest offered by Lexus—unleashing 263 horsepower and 323 lb-ft of torque 2. Taming this beast is Variable Valve Timing with intelligence (VVT-i), which continually monitors and adjusts the engine’s valves to deliver optimum performance at all times. And a five-speed Electronically Controlled Transmission (ECT) keeps everything running smoothly. Adaptive Variable Suspension (AVS) offers four settings—from Comfort to Sport—with which you can direct the GX to automatically sense the character of the terrain, monitor your steering and braking, and adjust the suspension accordingly. A true sign of a serious utility vehicle, TORSEN ® Limited-Slip Center Differential (LSCD) 3 offers a variety of benefits, the most im hicT e f t o T e 4 2006 LEXUS GX Interior Vehicle shown with available equipment. 4 Our available third-row seating is foldable, removable and leather-trimmed, giving you the luxury of transporting eight people in high style . Passengers will have their own air conditioning and audio systems, the latter complete with a headphone jack 16. Should you choose to add a Rear-Seat Entertainment System (RSES), your passengers will have their own private cinema, as well. With the help of Mark Levinson ®5, a company known for designing six-figure home-audio systems, we custom-designed a 14-speaker, 240-watt 6 Premium Audio System that features an in-dash, six-disc CD auto-changer, available in the GX. Though the sound might say “live concert,” you can, of course, stop the music any time you wish. 4, 5, 6, 16 See page 16 for more information. 5 2006 LEXUS GX Interior (Continued) Embarking on a great adventure needn’t mean leaving your standards behind. In fact, with its vast array of comforts and conveniences, the GX may raise those standards considerably. As you would expect of a Lexus, sumptuous, expertly crafted leather and fine wood accents abound. But our aim is to go beyond simply meeting your expectations. This aim is achieved with such features as heated front seats with variable settings, lumbar support for both driver and front passenger, dualzone climate control for personalized temperature zones and an interior air filter to put plenty of distance between you and unpleasant dust, pollen and odors. Front seats are heated with variable settings, and outside mirrors are heated to prevent fogging and maintain clarity in freezing conditions. The instrument panel displays a temperature gauge, barometer and altimeter to let you know when the weather actually becomes interesting. A compass in the rearview mirror can keep you on track, should the direction you’re headed concern you. Additionally, because not all escapades go exactly as planned, the GX always brings along first aid and tool kits. So you might say the GX is prepared for anything. A nice quality in a vehicle driven by those with an adventurous side. 6 2006 LEXUS GX DVD Navigation System and Bluetooth® To help keep you on course, the GX is available with the Lexus voice-activated DVD Navigation System 7. This GPS satellite-linked system can direct you to over five million preprogrammed points of interest in the contiguous U.S. and major cities in Canada, displaying full-color maps on a screen in the instrument panel. Use the system’s database to find gas stations, ATMs, hotels, airports—it can even recommend, for example, a seafood restaurant. With the addition of a Bluetooth ®-compatible phone 8, you can call ahead using only your voice to dial. For even more self-assurance, the GX is available with a backup camera 9. This ingenious feature, aided by a tiny lens at the rear of the vehicle, will project a color image of the area to your NAV screen the moment you place the GX in reverse. In this way the GX can provide you with a picture of objects you might otherwise miss. 7, 8, 9 See page 16 for more information. 7 2006 LEXUS GX Safety The GX is prepared, even when you are not. To begin with, it has been designed to help manage impact energy in a variety of emergency situations, including frontal impacts, offset frontal impacts and side impacts. In such situations, its strong, welded-steel body-and-ladder frame helps maintain the shape and integrity of the chassis and cabin. Scientifically designed, impact-absorbing materials in the structure of the GX will help offset the energy generated by a collision. Furthermore, each door has been reinforced with beams to help provide side-impact protection. Roll-Sensing Curtain Airbags (RSCA) 10 deploy in the event of a severe tilt degree, roll or lateral G-force. (For off-road situations you can temporarily disable the RSCA.) These work in conjunction with the seat-mounted side airbags 10. The GX also comes standard with a Tire Pressure Monitor System 11, which uses audio and visual clues to alert you if your tire pressure is critically below the optimal range. 10, 11 See page 16 for more information. 8 2006 LEXUS GX Safety (Continued) Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) 12 senses, and helps correct, a loss of traction in turns. Active Traction Control (ATRAC) directs power to those wheels with the best traction to help control wheelspin on surfaces like mud, sand and ice. Should you require hard braking on a slippery surface, an Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS), Brake Assist 13 and Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD) can be counted on to help you maintain control. To help control a loss of traction in turns, the GX employs Vehicle Stability Control (VSC). This perceptive technology uses sensors to monitor factors such as wheel speed, steering-wheel angle and your rate of travel in order to detect a skid. Should a loss of traction be detected, WSC instantly determines which action’s needed—whether it be the application of brakes to individual wheels or a reduction of throttle—and then automatically implements that action. 9 2006 LEXUS GX Ownership Experience A moment, if you will. It seems so inconsequential: a moment. And yet it’s often the small moments, the ones you experience while getting from here to there, that can make your life richer. Fourteen years ago we began with this insight when we set out to build the kind of luxury automobiles that attend to your every need—to help you make the most of every moment. When you drive a Lexus, you drive something unique. You’ll feel it in our cars. You’ll feel it the instant you walk into our dealerships. And if we’ve done our job, there’s a good chance you’ll feel it when you least expect it. It’s why we pursue perfection—so you can pursue living. CUSTOMER SATISFACTION Your total and complete satisfaction is our highest priority. Which is why you may find our dealerships provide such amenities as offices you can use for business, free pickup and delivery, service loaner vehicles, complimentary car washes, concierge services and even 24-hour emergency Roadside Assistance* for your first four years of ownership. RESPONSIBLE THINKING As part of an effort to reduce emissions whenever possible, every Lexus vehicle built since 2004 has been certified as wither a Low-Emission Vehicle (LEV), Ultra-Low Emission Vehicle (ULEV or ULEV II) or Super Ultra-Low Emission Vehicle (SULEV). VALUE/DEPENDABILITY/QUALITY Our commitment to build the finest vehicles in the world has not wavered since our inception. Seen in such ways as projected low repair costs and high retained value, our pursuit of perfection has never been stronger. *Coverage only available in the continental U.S. and Canada. Please see your local Lexus dealer for details on our Roadside Assistance program. 10 2006 LEXUS GX Options & Accessories OPTION PACKAGES Navigation System/Mark Levinson ® Audio Package Lexus voice-activated DVD Navigation System 7 with backup camera 9 and Bluetooth ® technology 8 Mark Levinson ® 14-speaker, 240-watt 6 Premium Audio ■ System with six-disc CD auto-changer (glovebox-mounted) Sport Package Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System (KDSS) ■ Black bird’s-eye maple and dark Graphite finished interior trim Smoked bezel headlamps and foglamps 17 x 75■ ■ in alloy wheels with dark Graphite finish Chrome exhaust tip Dark Graphite■ ■ finished roof rack Tinted backup lamps ■ OPTIONS AND ACCESSORIES Third-row seat with rear air conditioning 4 Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System ■ (KDSS) ■ Lexus DVD Rear-Seat Entertainment System (RSES) ■ Towing Prep Package 14 Rear spoiler Roof rack attachment – bike rack Roof rack attachment ■ ■ – ski/snowboard rack mats ■ Cargo Net ■ ■ ■ Lexus Link (anticipated fall 2005) 15 Cargo Mat ■ Cargo Tray ■ ■ All-weather floor Wireless Headphones 16 ■ Front- end mask Paint Protection film Car Cover Sport bumper kit Stainless-steel ■ Vehicle shown with available equipment. 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, 14, 15, 16 See page 16 for more information. ■ ■ ■ exhaust tip Tow-hitch receiver 14 Alloy wheels Wheel locks ■ ■ ■ 11 2006 LEXUS GX Specifications BODY, DIMENSIONS ENGINE Type Five-passenger luxury utility vehicle Construction Body-on-frame Overall Length 188.2 in (4,780 mm) Displacement Width 74.0 in (1,880 mm) Valvetrain Height 74.6 in (1,895 mm) Four cam, four valves per cylinder, with Continuously Variable Valve Timing with intelligence (VVT-i) Wheelbase 109.8 in (2,790 mm) Compression Ratio 10.0:1 Ground Clearance 8.3 in (210 mm) Horsepower at RPM 263 hp @ 5,4002 Approach Angle 30° (RAHC High) 31° (RAHC Normal) Torque at RPM 323 lb-ft @ 3,4002 Departure Angle 29° (RAHC High) 25°(RAHC Normal) Cargo Capacity (max) 77.5 cu ft (2,194 L)** Curb Weight 4,871 lb (2,209 kg) Towing Capacity (max) 6,500 lb (2,948 kg) (with tow-hitch receiver)14 Fuel-Tank Capacity 23.0 gal (87 L) Headroom 40.2/40.0/36.5 in (1,020/1,015/917 mm) Legroom 41.8/36.8/24.9 in (1,060/935/632 mm) Shoulder Room 57.5/57.4/56.7 in (1,460/1,458/1,440 mm) (front/middle/third row) Type 90° V8, iron block and heads, certified Ultra-Low Emission Vehicle (ULEV II) 4.7 liters (285 cubic inches) PERFORMANCE 0 - 60 MPH Acceleration 8.1 seconds2* 1/4-Mile Acceleration 16.3 seconds2 Top Track Speed 112 mph2 (electronically limited) Estimated Fuel Consumption 15/19 mpg (city/highway)† Aerodynamic Drag Coefficient 0.38 Turning Circle 37.4 ft 74.6" 8.3" 109.8" 188.2" 12 2006 LEXUS GX Specifications (Continued) CHASSIS DRIVETRAIN Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) 12 Suspension Electronic system that monitors and helps control loss of traction in a turn by using yaw-rate, deceleration, vehicle-speed and steeringwheel-angle sensors.

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. Neither system is a substitute for safe driving judgment and practices. 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. Ratings achieved using the required premium unleaded gasoline with an octane of 91 or higher. If premium fuel is not used, performance will decrease. 3. TORSEN® is a registered trademark of Zexel Torsen, Inc. 4. Eight-passenger seating requires available third-row seat. 5. Mark Levinson is a registered trademark of Harman International Industries, Incorporated. 6. Continuous average power, all channels driven, at 0.01% THD; 20-20,000 Hz. 7. The Lexus DVD Navigation System is designed to assist in locating an address or point of interest. Discrepancies may be encountered between the system and your actual location. Changes in street names, road closures, traffic flow or other road system changes may affect the accuracy of the mapping software. Rely upon your common sense to decide whether or not to follow a specified route. Detailed coverage not available in every city. Optional periodic geographic updates available at an additional cost. See your Navigation System Owner’s Manual and your Lexus dealer for further details. 8. While there are several Bluetooth® phones in the market, Lexus recommends the phones listed on its Web site because they have been tested and meet Lexus’ high standards for voice quality and functionality. Note that the recommendation of Lexus is not a warranty of the performance for any phone and that some problems may occur with any type of handset based on the service coverage available in your area. 9. The backup camera, available only with the navigation system, does not provide a comprehensive view of the entire 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. 10. The Lexus driver’s airbags and front passenger’s airbags, front seat-mounted side airbags and side curtain airbags are Supplemental Restraint Systems (SRS). The driver’s and front passenger’s airbags are designed to deploy in severe (usually frontal) collisions where the magnitude and duration of the forward deceleration of the vehicle exceed the design threshold level. The side airbags and side curtain airbags are designed to deploy in certain types of severe side-impact collisions. The side curtain airbags are Roll-Sensing Curtain Airbags (RSCA) and are designed to deploy at a severe tilt degree, roll or lateral G-force. In all other accidents, the airbags will not deploy. To decrease the risk of injury from a deploying airbag, always wear your seatbelt, sit upright in the middle of the seat, and do not lean against the door. Do not put objects in front of an airbag or around the seatback. Do not use a rearward-facing child seat in any front passenger seat. The force of a deploying airbag SRS may cause serious injury or death. Please see your Owner’s Manual for further instructions. Vehicle complies with “advanced airbags” requirements of FMVSS 208. 11. The Lexus Tire Pressure Monitor System alerts the driver when tire pressure is critically low. 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. 12. Lexus 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. 13. 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. Braking effectiveness also depends on proper brakesystem maintenance and tire and road conditions. 14. Before towing, confirm your vehicle and trailer are compatible, hooked up properly and you have any necessary additional equipment. Do not exceed any weight ratings and follow all instructions and cautions from your trailer hitch manufacturer and in your Lexus vehicle Owner’s Manual. The maximum amount you can tow depends on the total weight of any cargo, occupants and available equipment. 15.
