Front cross traffic alert

*

FCTA(Front cross traffic alert)

When approaching an intersection, etc., at a low speed, vehicles approaching from
the left and right of the front of the vehicle can be detected and the driver informed
of these vehicles.

FCTA system control

When the system detects a vehicle approach-
ing from the left or right in front of your vehicle
when approaching an intersection, a notifica-
tion will be displayed.

When the system determines that your vehicle
may be about to enter an intersection even
though a vehicle is approaching from the left
or right in front of your vehicle, a buzzer will
sound and a message will be displayed to urge
you to depress the brake pedal.

WARNING

For safe use

Driving safely is solely the responsibility of the driver. Pay careful attention to the sur-
rounding conditions in order to ensure safe driving. 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. Over-reliance on this 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 necessarily indicate that there are no longer any vehicles or
pedestrians around your vehicle.

Assistance in detecting vehicles behind when changing lanes

The Blind Spot Monitor is a system that uses rear side radar sensors installed on
the inner side of the rear bumper on the left and right side to assist the driver in
confirming safety when changing lanes.

WARNING

Cautions regarding the use of the system

The driver is solely responsible for safe driving. Always drive safely, taking care to
observe your surroundings.
The Blind Spot Monitor is a supplementary function which alerts the driver that a vehicle
is in a blind spot of the outside rear view mirrors or is approaching rapidly from behind
into a blind spot. Do not overly rely on the Blind Spot Monitor. As the function cannot
judge if it is safe to change lanes, over reliance could lead to an accident resulting in
death or serious injury.
As the system may not function correctly under certain conditions, the driver’s own visual
confirmation of safety is necessary.

the outside rear view mirror indicator on
the detected side will illuminate. If the turn
signal lever is operated toward the detected
side, the outside rear view mirror indicator
flashes.

INFORMATION

Outside rear view mirror indicator visibility

In strong sunlight, the outside rear view mirror indicator may be difficult to see.

WARNING

To ensure the system can operate properly

Blind Spot Monitor sensors are installed behind the left and right sides of the rear bumper
respectively. Observe the following to ensure the Blind Spot Monitor can operate
correctly.

Keep the sensors and the surrounding areas on
the rear bumper clean at all times.
If a sensor or its surrounding area on the rear
bumper is dirty or covered with snow, the Blind
Spot Monitor may not operate and a warning
message will be displayed. In this situation, clear
off the dirt or snow and drive the vehicle with the
operation conditions of the BSM function satisfied
for approximately 10 minutes. If the warning message does not disappear, have the
vehicle inspected by your Lexus dealer.

Do not attach accessories, stickers (including transparent stickers), aluminum tape,
etc., to a sensor or its surrounding area on the rear bumper.

Do not subject a sensor or its surrounding area on the rear bumper to a strong impact.
If a sensor is moved even slightly off position, the system may malfunction and vehicles
may not be detected correctly. In the following situations, have your vehicle inspected
by your Lexus dealer.

Supporting safe exit by detecting detectable objects at the rear of
the vehicle by outputting sounds, displaying screens as a warning or
cancelling opening of the doors

The Safe exit assist (with door opening control) is a system that uses radar sensors
installed on the inner side of the rear bumper to help occupants judge if an
approaching vehicle or bicycle may collide with a door when opening it or cancel
opening of a door, to reduce the possibility of a collision.

WARNING

Cautions regarding the use of the system

The driver is solely responsible for safe driving. Always drive safely, taking care to
observe your surroundings.

Safe exit assist is a supplementary system that, when the vehicle is stopped, informs
occupants of the existence of approaching vehicles and bicycles. As this system alone
cannot used to judge safety, over-reliance on this system may lead to an accident
resulting in death or serious injury.
As the system may not function correctly under certain conditions, the driver’s own
visual confirmation of safety is necessary.
