the multi-information display.
The system is automatically enabled each
time the power switch is turned to ON
mode.
If the system is disabled, the PCS warn-

■
Object detection function
The system detects objects based on their
size, profile, motion, etc. However, an object
may not be detected depending on the sur-
rounding brightness and the motion, pos-
ture, and angle of the detected object,
preventing the system from operating prop-
erly. (
The illustration shows an image of detect-
able objects.

Cancelation of the pre-collision braking
If either of the following occur while the
pre-collision braking function is operating, it
will be canceled:
●
The accelerator pedal is depressed
strongly.
●
The steering wheel is turned sharply or
abruptly.
■
Conditions under which the system may
operate even if there is no possibility of a
collision
●
In some situations such as the following,
the system may determine that there is a
possibility of a frontal collision and oper-
ate.
• When passing a detectable object, etc.
• When changing lanes while overtaking a
detectable object, etc.
• When approaching a detectable object
in an adjacent lane or on the roadside,
such as when changing the course of
travel or driving on a winding road
• When rapidly closing on a detectable
object, etc.
• When approaching objects on the road-
side, such as detectable objects, guard-
rails, utility poles, trees, or walls
• When there is a detectable object or
other object by the roadside at the
entrance of a curve
• When there are patterns or paint in front
of your vehicle that may be mistaken for a
detectable object
• When the front of your vehicle is hit by
water, snow, dust, etc.
• When overtaking a detectable object
that is changing lanes or making a
right/left turn
• When passing a detectable object in an
oncoming lane that is stopped to make a

cover, steel plate, etc.), steps, or a protru-
sion in front of your vehicle

or electrical noise may be present
■
Situations in which the system may not
operate properly
●
In some situations such as the following,
an object may not be detected by the
radar sensor and front camera, prevent-
ing the system from operating properly:
• When a detectable object is approaching
your vehicle
• When your vehicle or a detectable object
is wobbling
• If a detectable object makes an abrupt
maneuver (such as sudden swerving,
acceleration or deceleration)
• When your vehicle approaches a detect-
able object rapidly

in front of your vehicle
• When a detectable object is near a wall,
fence, guardrail, manhole cover, vehicle,
steel plate on the road, etc.
• When a detectable object is under a
structure

den by an object, such as large baggage,
an umbrella, or guardrail

nearly the same color or brightness as its
surroundings
• If a detectable object cuts or suddenly
emerges in front of your vehicle
• When the front of your vehicle is hit by
water, snow, dust, etc.
• When a very bright light ahead, such as
the sun or the headlights of oncoming
traffic, shines directly into the front cam-
era
• When approaching the side or front of a
vehicle ahead
• If a vehicle ahead is a motorcycle
• If a vehicle ahead is narrow, such as a per-
sonal mobility vehicle

• If a vehicle ahead is a child sized bicycle,
a bicycle that is carrying a large load, a
bicycle ridden by more than one person,
or a uniquely shaped bicycle (bicycle with
a child seat, tandem bicycle, etc.)
• If a pedestrian/or the riding height of a
bicyclist ahead is shorter than approxi-
mately 3.2 ft. (1 m) or taller than approxi-
mately 6.5 ft. (2 m)
• If a pedestrian/bicyclist is wearing over-
sized clothing (a rain coat, long skirt,
etc.), making their silhouette obscure
• If a pedestrian is bending forward or
squatting or bicyclist is bending forward

sufficient braking force may not be
obtained, preventing the system from
performing properly:
• If the braking functions cannot operate to
their full extent, such as when the brake
parts are extremely cold, extremely hot,
or wet
• If the vehicle is not properly maintained
(brakes or tires are excessively worn,
improper tire inflation pressure, etc.)

LTA (Lane Tracing Assist)
When driving on highways and
freeways with white (yellow) lane
lines, this function alerts the driver
when the vehicle might depart from
its lane or course
*
and provides
assistance by operating the steer-
ing wheel to keep the vehicle in its
lane or course
*
. Furthermore, the
system provides steering assistance
when dynamic radar cruise control
with full-speed range is operating
to keep the vehicle in its lane.
The LTA system recognizes white
(yellow) lane lines or a course
*
using the front camera. Addition-
ally, it detects preceding vehicles
using the front camera and radar.
*
: Boundary between asphalt and the
side of the road, such as grass, soil, or
a curb
WARNING
■
Before using LTA system
●
Do not rely solely upon the LTA sys-
tem. The LTA system does not auto-
matically drive the vehicle or reduce
the amount of attention that must be
paid to the area in front of the vehicle.
The driver must always assume full
responsibility for driving safely by pay-
ing careful attention to the surround-
ing conditions and operating the
steering wheel to correct the path of
the vehicle. Also, the driver must take
adequate breaks when fatigued, such
as from driving for a long period of
time.
●
Failure to perform appropriate driving
operations and pay careful attention
may lead to an accident, resulting in
death or serious injury.
●
When not using the LTA system, use
the LTA switch to turn the system off.
■
Situations unsuitable for LTA system
In the following situations, use the LTA
switch to turn the system off. Failure to do
so may lead to an accident, resulting in
death or serious injury.
●
Vehicle is driven on a road surface
which is slippery due to rainy weather,
fallen snow, freezing, etc.
●
Vehicle is driven on a snow-covered
road.
●
White (yellow) lines are difficult to see
due to rain, snow, fog, dust, etc.
●
Vehicle is driven in a temporary lane or
restricted lane due to construction
work.
●
Vehicle is driven in a construction
zone.
●
A spare tire, tire chains, etc. are
equipped.
●
When the tires have been excessively
worn, or when the tire inflation pres-
sure is low.
226
4-5. Using the driving support systems
WARNING
●
When your vehicle is towing a trailer
(vehicles with towing package) or
during emergency towing.
■
Preventing LTA system malfunctions
and operations performed by mistake
●
Do not modify the headlights or place
stickers, etc. on the surface of the
lights.
●
Do not modify the suspension etc. If
the suspension etc. needs to be
replaced, contact your Lexus dealer.
●
Do not install or place anything on the
hood or grille. Also, do not install a
grille guard (bull bars, kangaroo bar,
etc.).
●
If your windshield needs repairs, con-
tact your Lexus dealer.
■
Conditions in which functions may
not operate properly
In the following situations, the functions
may not operate properly and the vehicle
may depart from its lane. Drive safely by
always paying careful attention to your
surroundings and operate the steering
wheel to correct the path of the vehicle
without relying solely on the functions.

displayed (
P.230) and the preced-
ing vehicle changes lanes. (Your vehi-
cle may follow the preceding vehicle
and also change lanes.)

RSA (Road Sign Assist)
*
The RSA system recognizes spe-
cific road signs using the front cam-
era to provide information to the
driver via the display.
If the system judges that the vehicle
is being driven over the speed limit,
performing prohibited actions, etc.
according to the recognized road
signs, it notifies the driver through a
visual notification and notification
buzzer.
WARNING
■
Before using the RSA
Do not rely solely upon the RSA system.
RSA is a system which supports the
driver by providing information, but it is
not a replacement for a driver’s own
vision and awareness. Drive safely by
always paying careful attention to the
traffic rules.
