2006 LEXUS GX Scaling Mountains
Steep hills always pose a challenge, which is why the GX employs a highly evolved technology called Downhill Assist Control (DAC)1. 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
do is steer. The GX is also equipped with Hill-start Assist Control (HAC)1. HAC helps control the GX from rollback during that brief moment when
your foot travels from brake to accelerator before beginning an ascent.

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.

The GX is equipped with a 4.7-liter V8 engine—the
largest offered by Lexus—unleashing 263 horsepower
and 323 lb-ft of torque2. 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 important being to help enhance the traction. And
Rear Adjustable Height Control (RAHC) permits the
GX to be raised 1.6 inches or lowered 1.2 inches for
better or easier loading.

2006 LEXUS GX Interior
Our available third-row seating is foldable, removable and leather-trimmed, giving you the luxury of transporting eight people in high style4.
Passengers will have their own air conditioning and audio systems, the latter complete with a headphone jack16. 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-watt6
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.

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, dual-
zone 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.

To help keep you on course, the GX is available
with the Lexus voice-activated DVD Navigation
System7. 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
phone8, you can call ahead using only your voice
to dial.
For even more self-assurance, the GX is available
with a backup camera9. 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.

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 airbags10. The GX also comes standard with a Tire Pressure Monitor System11, which uses audio
and visual clues to alert you if your tire pressure is critically below the optimal range.

Vehicle Stability Control (VSC)12 senses, and helps correct, a loss of traction in turns. Active Traction Control (A-
TRAC) 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 Assist13 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.
