*
: If equipped
When the system detects a vehicle
approaching from the left or right in
front of your vehicle when approaching
an intersection, a notification will be
displayed on the head-up display and
panoramic view monitor
*
.
*
: Refer to “NAVIGATION AND MULTI-
MEDIA SYSTEM OWNER’S MAN-
UAL”.
When the system determines that your
vehicle may be about to enter an inter-
section even though a vehicle is

FCTA (Front Cross Traffic
Alert)
*
When approaching an intersection
at low speed, the radar sensors on
the front side of the vehicle can
detect approaching vehicles to the
left and right of the front of the vehi-
cle. In this case, the head-up display
is used to inform the driver of
detected vehicles.

WARNING
■
Cautions regarding the use of the
function
The driver is solely responsible for safe
driving. Always drive safely, taking care
to observe your surroundings.
The FCTA system is a supplementary
system that informs the driver of vehicles
approaching from the left and right of the
front of the vehicle.
Do not overly rely on the FCTA system.
Over reliance on the system may lead to
an accident, resulting in death or serious
injury.
The details of the warning display may
differ from the actual traffic conditions.
Although the warning display will stop
being displayed after a certain amount of
time, this does not indicate that vehicles
or pedestrians are no longer around your
vehicle.

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 and
when changing lanes (vehicles with
Lexus Safety System + A).
The LTA system recognizes white
(yellow) lane lines or a course
*
using the front camera. Addition-
ally, it detects preceding and sur-
rounding vehicles (vehicles with
Lexus Safety System + A) using the
front camera and radar.

WARNING
■
Before using LTA system
Do not rely solely upon the LTA system.
The LTA system does not automatically
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 driv-
ing safely by paying careful attention to
the surrounding conditions and operat-
ing 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.
■
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.
●
When tires of a size other than speci-
fied are installed.
●
Vehicle is driven in traffic lanes other
than that highways and freeways.
●
During emergency towing.
■
Situations in which the lane change
assist function should not be used
●
When driving on a one lane road or
road without lane markers
●
When there is no broken white line
between your vehicle and the lane
toward which the turn signal is oper-
ated
■
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.

■
Steering assist function
When the system determines that the
vehicle might depart from its lane or
course
*
, the system provides assis-
tance as necessary by operating the
steering wheel in small amounts for a
short period of time to keep the vehicle
in its lane.
If the system detects that the steering
wheel has not been operated for a fixed
amount of time or the steering wheel is not
being firmly gripped, the steering assist
function may be canceled temporarily, a
warning message may be displayed on the
multi-information display and a warning
buzzer may sound. If the steering assist
function is canceled, release the steering
wheel and then grip it again to enable the
function.
When the system determines that the vehi-
cle might depart from its lane and that the
possibility of a collision with an overtaking
vehicle in the adjacent lane is high, the
steering assist function will operate even if
the turn signals are operating.

■
Lane centering function
This function is linked with dynamic
radar cruise control with full-speed
range and provides the required assis-
tance by operating the steering wheel
to keep the vehicle in its current lane.
When dynamic radar cruise control with
full-speed range is not operating, the lane
centering function does not operate.
In situations where the white (yellow) lane
lines are difficult to see or are not visible,
such as when in a traffic jam, this function
will operate to help follow a preceding
vehicle by monitoring the position of the
preceding vehicle.
If the system detects that the steering
wheel has not been operated for a fixed
amount of time or the steering wheel is not
being firmly gripped, a warning is displayed
on the multi-information display and the
warning buzzer sounds. Make sure to grip
the steering wheel firmly.
■
Lane change assist function (vehi-
cles with Lexus Safety System + A)
This function is linked to the dynamic
radar cruise control with full-speed
range and provides assistance for per-
forming lane changes by operating the
steering wheel when you hold the turn
signal lever partway (lane change posi-
tion).(
When lane change assist function is
operating, the acceleration and decel-
eration of the vehicle is controlled
while the preceding vehicle and vehi-
cles driven in the lane toward which the
turn signal is operated are monitored.
When the lane centering function is not
operating, the lane change assist function
will not operate.
The lane change assist function should not
be operated when changing lanes on a
road that is diverging or merging.
