If a warning message is displayed on the multi-information display
A system may be temporarily unavailable or there may be a malfunction in the system
●
In the following situations, perform the actions specified in the table. When the normal
operating conditions are detected, the message will disappear and the system will
become operational.
If the message does not disappear, contact your Lexus dealer.
●
In the following situations, if the situation has changed (or the vehicle has been driven
for some time) and the normal operating conditions are detected, the message will dis-
appear and the system will become operational.
If the message does not disappear, contact your Lexus dealer.
• When the temperature around the radar sensor is outside of the operational range,
such as when the vehicle is in the sun or in an extremely cold environment
• When the front camera cannot detect objects in front of the vehicle, such as when
driving in the dark, snow, or fog, or when bright lights are shining into the front cam-
era
• Depending on the conditions in the vicinity of the vehicle, the radar may judge the
surrounding environment can not be properly recognized. In that case, “Pre-Colli-
sion System Unavailable” is displayed.
Situation
Actions
When the area around a camera is
covered with dirt, moisture (fogged
up, covered with condensation, ice,
etc.), or other foreign matter
Using the wiper and A/C function, remove the
dirt and other attached matter. (
When the temperature around the
front camera is outside of the opera-
tional range, such as when the vehi-
cle is in the sun or in an extremely
cold environment
If the front camera is hot, such as after the vehi-
cle had been parked in the sun, use the air con-
ditioning system to decrease the temperature
around the front camera.
If a sunshade was used when the vehicle was
parked, depending on its type, the sunlight
reflected from the surface of the sunshade
may cause the temperature of the front cam-
era to become excessively high.
If the front camera is cold, such after the vehicle
is parked in an extremely cold environment, use
the air conditioning system to increase the tem-
perature around the front camera.
The area in front of the front camera
is obstructed, such as when the
hood is open or a sticker is attached
to the part of the windshield in front
of the front camera.
Close the hood, remove the sticker, etc. to
clear the obstruction.
When “Pre-Collision System
Unavailable” is displayed.
Check whether there is attached materials on
the radar sensor and radar sensor cover, and if
there is, remove it.

PCS (Pre-Collision System)
◆
Pre-collision warning
When the system determines that
the possibility of a frontal collision is
high, a buzzer will sound and a warn-
ing message 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.
The pre-collision system uses a radar sensor and front camera to detect vehi-
cles and pedestrians in front of your vehicle. When the system determines
that the possibility of a frontal collision with a vehicle or pedestrian 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
determines that the possibility of a frontal collision with a vehicle or pedes-
trian 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 disabled/enabled and the warning timing can
be changed. (
238
4-5. Using the driving support systems
◆
Pre-collision braking
When the system determines that the possibility of a frontal collision is high,
the system warns the driver. If the system determines that the possibility of a
frontal collision is extremely high, the brakes are automatically applied to help
avoid the collision or reduce the collision speed.
◆
Suspension control (if equipped)
When the system determines that the possibility of a frontal collision is high,
the Adaptive Variable Suspension System (
P. 356) will control the damping
force of the shock absorbers to help maintain an appropriate vehicle posture.
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 collision damage or
injury in every situation. Do not overly rely on this system. Failure to do so may lead to
an accident, 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 effectiveness 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 carefully. Do not overly rely on this system and always
drive carefully.
• Conditions under which the system may operate even if there is no possibility 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, possibly leading to an
accident.

WARNING
■
Pre-collision braking
●
When the pre-collision braking function is operating, a large amount of braking force
will be applied.
●
If the vehicle is stopped by the operation of the pre-collision braking function, the
pre-collision braking function operation will be canceled after approximately 2 sec-
onds. Depress the brake pedal as necessary.
●
The pre-collision braking function may not operate if certain operations are per-
formed by the driver. If the accelerator pedal is being depressed strongly or the steer-
ing wheel is being turned, the system may determine that the driver is taking evasive
action and possibly prevent the pre-collision braking function from operating.
●
In some situations, while the pre-collision braking function 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.
●
If the brake pedal is being depressed, the system may determine that the driver is tak-
ing evasive action and possibly delay the operation timing of the pre-collision braking
function.
■
When to disable the pre-collision system
In the following situations, disable the system, as it may not operate properly, possibly
leading to an accident resulting in death or serious injury:
●
When the vehicle is being towed
●
When your vehicle is towing another vehicle
●
When transporting the vehicle via truck, boat, train or similar means of transportation
●
When the vehicle is raised on a lift with the engine running and the tires are allowed to
rotate freely
●
When inspecting the vehicle using a drum tester such as a chassis dynamometer or
speedometer tester, or when using an on vehicle wheel balancer
●
When a strong impact is applied to the front bumper or front grille, due to an accident
or other reasons
●
If the vehicle cannot be driven in a stable manner, such as when the vehicle has been
in an accident or is malfunctioning
●
When the vehicle is driven in a sporty manner or off-road
●
When the tires are not properly inflated
●
When the tires are very worn
●
When tires of a size other than specified are installed
●
When tire chains are installed
●
When a compact spare tire or an emergency tire puncture repair kit is used
●
If equipment (snow plow, etc.) that may obstruct the radar sensor or front camera is
temporarily installed to the vehicle

Operational conditions
The pre-collision system is enabled and the system determines that the possibility of a
frontal collision with a vehicle or pedestrian is high.
Each function is operational at the following speeds:
●
Pre-collision warning:
• Vehicle speed is between approximately 7 and 110 mph (10 and 180 km/h). (For
detecting a pedestrian, vehicle speed is between approximately 7 and 50 mph [10
and 80 km/h].)
• The relative speed between your vehicle and the vehicle or pedestrian ahead is
approximately 7 mph (10 km/h) or more.
●
Pre-collision brake assist:
• Vehicle speed is between approximately 20 and 110 mph (30 and 180 km/h). (For
detecting a pedestrian, vehicle speed is between approximately 20 and 50 mph
[30 and 80 km/h].)
• The relative speed between your vehicle and the vehicle or pedestrian ahead is
approximately 20 mph (30 km/h) or more.
●
Pre-collision braking:
• Vehicle speed is between approximately 7 and 110 mph (10 and 180 km/h). (For
detecting a pedestrian, vehicle speed is between approximately 7 and 50 mph [10
and 80 km/h].)
• The relative speed between your vehicle and the vehicle or pedestrian ahead is
approximately 7 mph (10 km/h) or more.
The system may not operate in the following situations:
●
If a battery terminal has been disconnected and reconnected and then the vehicle has
not been driven for a certain amount of time
●
If the shift lever is in R
●

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 colli-
sion
●
In some situations such as the following, the system may determine that there is a possi-
bility of a frontal collision and operate.
• When passing a vehicle or pedestrian
• When changing lanes while overtaking a preceding vehicle
• When overtaking a preceding vehicle that is changing lanes
• When rapidly closing on a vehicle ahead
The pre-collision system detects pedestrians
based on the size, profile, and motion of a
detected object. However, a pedestrian may not
be detected depending on the surrounding
brightness and the motion, posture, and angle of
the detected object, preventing the system from
operating properly. (
• When overtaking a preceding vehicle that
is making a left/right turn
• When passing a vehicle in an oncoming
lane that is stopped to make a right/left turn
• When driving on a road where relative
location to vehicle ahead in an adjacent
lane may change, such as on a winding
road

LDA (Lane Departure Alert)
When driving on roads with white (yellow) lines, this function alerts the driver
when the vehicle might depart from its lane.
The LDA system recognizes visible
white (yellow) lines with the camera
sensor on the upper portion of the front
windshield.
◆
Lane departure alert function
When the system determines that
the vehicle might depart from its
lane, a warning is displayed on the
multi-information display, and either
the warning buzzer sounds or the
steering wheel vibrates to alert the
driver.
When the warning buzzer sounds or
the steering wheel vibrates, check
the surrounding road situation and
carefully operate the steering wheel
to move the vehicle back to the cen-
ter of the lane.

Vehicle sway warning function
When the vehicle is swaying or
appears as if it may depart from its
lane multiple times, the warning
buzzer sounds and a message is dis-
played on the multi-information dis-
play to alert the driver.
WARNING
■
Before using LDA system
Do not rely solely upon the LDA system. The LDA 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 driving safely by pay-
ing careful attention to the surrounding 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.
■
To avoid operating LDA system by mistake
When not using the LDA system, use the LDA switch to turn the system off.
