4-5. Using the driving support systems

■

ABS (Anti-lock Brake System)

Helps to prevent wheel lock when the
brakes are applied suddenly, or if the
brakes are applied while driving on a
slippery road surface

■

Brake assist

Generates an increased level of brak-
ing force after the brake pedal is
depressed when the system detects a
panic stop situation

■

VSC (Vehicle Stability Control)

Helps the driver to control skidding
when swerving suddenly or turning on
slippery road surfaces

■

Enhanced VSC (Enhanced Vehi-
cle Stability Control)

Provides cooperative control of the
ABS, TRAC, VSC and EPS.
Helps to maintain directional stability
when swerving on slippery road sur-
faces by controlling steering perfor-
mance.

■

Secondary Collision Brake (SCB)

When the airbag sensor detects a colli-
sion, the brakes and brake lights are
automatically controlled to reduce the
vehicle speed and that helps reduce
the possibility of further damage due to
a secondary collision

■

TRAC (Traction Control)

Helps to maintain drive power and pre-
vent the drive wheels from spinning
when starting the vehicle or accelerat-
ing on slippery roads

■

Active Cornering Assist (ACA)

Helps to prevent the vehicle from drift-
ing to the outer side by performing
inner wheel brake control when
attempting to accelerate during cor-
nering

■

Hill-start assist control

Helps to reduce the backward move-
ment of the vehicle when starting on an
uphill

■

EPS (Electric Power Steering)

Employs an electric motor to reduce
the amount of effort needed to turn the
steering wheel

■

AVS (Adaptive Variable Suspen-
sion System) (if equipped)

By independently controlling the
damping force of the shock absorbers
for each of the 4 wheels according to
the road and driving conditions, this
system helps riding comfort with supe-
rior vehicle stability, and helps good
vehicle posture.
Also, the damping force changes
depending on the selected driving

Driving assist systems

To keep driving safety and perfor-
mance, the following systems oper-
ate automatically in response to
various driving situations. Be aware,
however, that these systems are
supplementary and should not be
relied upon too heavily when oper-
ating the vehicle.

the vehicle comes to a stop.

• The brake pedal may pulsate slightly after

the ABS is activated.

• The brake pedal may move down slightly

after the ABS is activated.

■

Active Cornering Assist operation

sounds and vibrations

When Active Cornering Assist is operated,

operation sounds and vibrations may be

generated from the brake system, but this is

not a malfunction.

■

EPS operation sound

When the steering wheel is operated, a

motor sound (whirring sound) may be

heard. This does not indicate a malfunction.

■

Automatic reactivation of TRAC and

VSC systems

After turning the TRAC and VSC systems

off, the systems will be automatically re-

enabled in the following situations:

●

When the engine switch is turned off

●

If only the TRAC system is turned off, the

TRAC will turn on when vehicle speed

increases

If both the TRAC and VSC systems are

turned off, automatic re-enabling will not

occur when vehicle speed increases.

■

Secondary Collision Brake operating

conditions

The vehicle speed is approximately 6 mph

(10 km/h) or more and the airbag sensor

detects a collision. (The Secondary Colli-

sion Brake will not operate when the vehicle

speed is below approximately 6 mph [10

km/h].)

■

operation

●

The accelerator pedal is depressed a

large amount

■

Operating conditions of Active Corner-

ing Assist

The system operates in the following situa-

tions.

●

TRAC/VSC can operate

●

The system determines that the vehicle is

drifting to the outer side when attempting

to accelerate during cornering

●

The brake pedal is released

■

Reduced effectiveness of the EPS sys-

tem

The effectiveness of the EPS system is

reduced to prevent the system from over-

heating when there is frequent steering

input over an extended period of time. The

steering wheel may feel heavy as a result.

Should this occur, refrain from excessive

steering input or stop the vehicle and turn

the engine off. The EPS system should

return to normal within 10 minutes.

●

When driving over roads with potholes

or uneven surfaces

■

TRAC/VSC may not operate effec-

tively when

Directional control and power may not

be achievable while driving on slippery

road surfaces, even if the TRAC/VSC

system is operating.

Drive the vehicle carefully in conditions

where stability and power may be lost.

■

Active Cornering Assist does not

operate effectively when

●

Do not rely solely upon Active Cor-

nering Assist. Active Cornering Assist

may not operate effectively when

accelerating down slopes or driving on

slippery road surfaces.

●

When Active Cornering Assist fre-

quently operates, Active Cornering

Assist may temporarily stop operating

to ensure proper operation of the

brakes, TRAC, VSC.

■

Hill- start assist control does not

operate effectively when

●

Do not overly rely on hill-start assist

control. Hill-start assist control may

not operate effectively on steep

inclines and roads covered with ice.

●

Unlike the parking brake, hill-start

assist control is not intended to hold

the vehicle stationary for an extended

period of time. Do not attempt to use

hill-start assist control to hold the vehi-

cle on an incline, as doing so may lead

to an accident.

■

When the TRAC/VSC is activated

The slip indicator light flashes. Always

drive carefully. Reckless driving may

cause an accident. Exercise particular

care when the indicator light flashes.

■

When the TRAC/VSC systems are

turned off

Be especially careful and drive at a speed

appropriate to the road conditions. As

these are the systems to help ensure

vehicle stability and driving force, do not

turn the TRAC/VSC systems off unless

necessary.

■

Secondary Collision Brake

Do not overly rely on the Secondary Col-

lision Brake. This system is designed to

help reduce the possibility of further

damage due to a secondary collision,

however, that effect changes according

to various conditions. Overly relying on

the system may result in death or serious

injury.

■

Replacing tires

Make sure that all tires are of the speci-

fied size, brand, tread pattern and total

load capacity. In addition, make sure that

the tires are inflated to the recom-

mended tire inflation pressure level.
The ABS, TRAC and VSC systems will

not function correctly if different tires are

installed on the vehicle.

Contact your Lexus dealer for further

information when replacing tires or

wheels.

■

Handling of tires and the suspension

Using tires with any kind of problem or

modifying the suspension will affect the

driving assist systems, and may cause a

system to malfunction.

Accelerate the vehicle slowly, keep a
safe distance between you and the
vehicle ahead, and drive at a reduced
speed suitable to road conditions.

 Park the vehicle and move the shift

lever to P without setting the park-
ing brake. The parking brake may
freeze up, preventing it from being
released. If the vehicle is parked
without setting the parking brake,
make sure to block the wheels.
Failure to do so may be dangerous
because it may cause the vehicle to

move unexpectedly, possibly lead-
ing to an accident.

 If the vehicle is parked without set-

ting the parking brake, confirm that
the shift lever cannot be moved out
of P

: The shift lever will be locked if it is

attempted to be shifted from P to any
other position without depressing the
brake pedal. If the shift lever can be
shifted from P, there may be a problem
with the shift lock system. Have the vehi-
cle inspected by your Lexus dealer
immediately.
