Default Lower the car do easy access

Hi,
do you guys know if lx570 can go lower than the default factory height. If we have a person who is limited to enter the car because of the height. Look it for a way to make it lower so they get in easily. I was looking at lowering links but they are for ls500

You have 2 options. Lower the entire truck with the right most switch on the center console. You have to be moving less than 8 miles an hour or stopped w/ all the doors closed. Allow a few seconds for the truck to squat down after pressing the switch. OR Having the front squat down automatically. Press the button w/ a picture of a door on it located on the dash next to the steering wheel, it will pop out w/ a orange edge to show it's activated. The same picture will also show on the dash to confirm it is activated. You have to come to a complete stop, in park, all doors closed
& after a few seconds the front end will squat down.

Yes you can get it to go lower but it will be in a slightly lower level in all positions.
There are position sensor in the front and rear. It is pretty simple to adjust them but you will have to do a zero point calibration afterwards and possibly an alignment.
Details on adjusting them can be found on the mud forum.

I see but nothing aftermarket options available like we had for ls460 and ls500. They used to have a controller which pushes the car all the way down.
I know about the buttons it’s just not low enough. it’s For a Person in wheelchai
