■
Pedestrian alert
When the system determines that
there is a possibility of a frontal collision
with a stationary or moving pedestrian
in front of your vehicle, a message will
be displayed on the head-up display to
warn the driver.
■
Pre-collision warning
When the system determines that the
possibility of a frontal collision is high, a
buzzer will sound and a warning mes-
sage will be displayed on the
multi-information display to urge the
driver to take evasive action.
■
Pre-collision brake assist
When the system determines that the
possibility of a frontal collision is high,
the system applies greater braking
force in relation to how strongly the
brake pedal is depressed.
■
Pre-collision braking
If the system determines that the possi-
bility of a frontal collision is extremely
high, the brakes are automatically
applied to help avoid the collision or
reduce the impact of the collision.
PCS (Pre-Collision System)
(vehicles with Lexus Safety
System + A)
The pre-collision system uses a
front radar sensor and front camera
to detect vehicles and pedestri-
ans/bicyclists in front of your vehi-
cle and front side radar sensors to
detect vehicles approaching from
the front left or right side. When the
system determines that the possi-
bility of a frontal collision with a
vehicle or pedestrian/bicyclist is
high, a warning operates to urge
the driver to take evasive action
and the potential brake pressure is
increased to help the driver avoid
the collision. If the system deter-
mines that the possibility of a frontal
collision with a vehicle or pedes-
trian/bicyclist is extremely high, the
brakes are automatically applied to
help avoid the collision or help
reduce the impact of the collision.
The pre-collision system can be dis-
abled/enabled and the warning tim-
ing can be changed. (

■
Intersection right/left turn assis-
tance
If the system determines that there is a
high possibility of a collision in the fol-
lowing situations, it will assist with
Pre-collision warning and, if necessary
Pre-collision braking. Depending on
the configuration of the intersection, it
may not be possible to support.
When you turn right/left at an inter-
section and cross the path of an
oncoming vehicle
When you turn right/left, pedestrian
is detected in the forward direction
and estimated to enter your vehi-
cle’s path (bicyclists are not
detected.)
■
Active steering assist
If the system determines that the possi-
bility of a collision with an object, such
as a guardrail, or pedestrian is high,
even though the brakes are applied,
and that the collision may be avoidable
through steering control, the system
will steer the vehicle automatically to
help avoid the collision or help reduce
the impact of the collision.
■
Active Assist for seat belts (front
seats only)
If the system determines that the possi-
bility of a frontal collision is high, the
system will retract the seat belts. Addi-
tionally, the system may retract the seat
belts if the brakes are applied suddenly
or control of the vehicle is lost.
■
Pre-collision seatbacks (front pas-
senger’s seat / power rear seat [if
equipped])
If the system determines that the possi-
bility of a frontal collision is high, it may
move the seatbacks of the front pas-
senger’s seat and power rear seats to
the upright position automatically, if
reclined.
If a seat is being adjusted, it may not be
moved by the pre-collision seat function.

WARNING
■
Limitations of the pre-collision system
●
The driver is solely responsible for safe
driving. Always drive safely, taking
care to observe your surroundings.
Do not use the pre-collision system
instead of normal braking operations
under any circumstances. This system
will not prevent collisions or lessen col-
lision damage or injury in every situa-
tion. Do not overly rely on this system.
Failure to do so may lead to an acci-
dent, resulting in death or serious
injury.
●
Although this system is designed to
help avoid a collision or help reduce
the impact of the collision, its effective-
ness may change according to various
conditions, therefore the system may
not always be able to achieve the same
level of performance.
Read the following conditions care-
fully. Do not overly rely on this system
and always drive carefully.
• Conditions under which the system
may operate even if there is no possi-
bility of a collision:
• Conditions under which the system
may not operate properly:
●
Do not attempt to test the operation of
the pre-collision system yourself.
Depending on the objects used for
testing (dummies, cardboard objects
imitating detectable objects, etc.), the
system may not operate properly, pos-
sibly leading to an accident.
■
Pre-collision braking
●
When the pre-collision braking func-
tion is operating, a large amount of
braking force will be applied.
●
If the vehicle is stopped by the opera-
tion of the pre-collision braking func-
tion, the pre-collision braking function
operation will be canceled after
approximately 2 seconds. Depress the
brake pedal as necessary.
●
The pre-collision braking function may
not operate if certain operations are
performed by the driver. If the acceler-
ator pedal is being depressed strongly
or the steering wheel is being turned,
the system may determine that the
driver is taking evasive action and pos-
sibly prevent the pre-collision braking
function from operating.
●
In some situations, while the pre-colli-
sion braking function is operating,
operation of the function may be can-
celed if the accelerator pedal is
depressed strongly or the steering
wheel is turned and the system deter-
mines that the driver is taking evasive
action.
●
If the brake pedal is being depressed,
the system may determine that the
driver is taking evasive action and pos-
sibly delay the operation timing of the
pre-collision braking function.
■
Active steering assist
●
The steering wheel may turn automati-
cally when active steering assist is
operating.
●
As active steering assist operation will
be canceled when the system deter-
mines that a collision has been
avoided, operate the steering wheel as
necessary.
●
In the following situations, the system
may determine that the driver is taking
evasive action. In this case, the active
steering assist may not operate or may
be canceled.
• If the accelerator pedal is being
depressed strongly or the steering
wheel is being operated. In this case
the system may determine that the
driver is taking evasive action and the
pre-collision braking may not operate.

WARNING
• In some situations, while the active
steering assist is operating, operation
of the function may be canceled if the
accelerator pedal is depressed
strongly or the steering wheel is turned
and the system determines that the
driver is taking evasive action.
• When the active steering assist is
operating, if the steering wheel is held
firmly or is operated in the opposite
direction to that which the system is
generating torque, the function may be
canceled.
• If the brake pedal is depressed, the sys-
tem may determine that the driver is
taking evasive action and the active
steering assist operation may be
delayed.
■
Active Asssit for seat belts
If the Active Assist has operated and the
seat belts are locked in a retracted posi-
tion, immediately stop the vehicle in a
safe place, release and retract the seat
belts to unlock them and then fasten
them again.
Also, if a seat belt can be loosened, it can
be unlocked by slightly retracting it with-
out releasing it.

pedestrians and bicyclists based on the size,
profile, and motion of the person. However,
a vehicle, pedestrian or bicyclist may not be
detected depending on the surrounding
brightness and the motion, posture, and
angle of the person, preventing the system
from operating properly. (
The illustration shows an image of vehicles,
pedestrians and bicyclists.
