Warnings may not occur when

In the following instances, warnings
may not occur even when the vehi-
cle-to-vehicle distance is small.
 When the speed of the preceding

vehicle matches or exceeds your
vehicle speed

 When the preceding vehicle is trav-

eling at an extremely slow speed

 Immediately after the cruise control

speed was set

 When depressing the accelerator

pedal

When constant speed control mode is
selected, your vehicle will maintain a
set speed without controlling the vehi-
cle-to-vehicle distance. Select this
mode only when vehicle-to-vehicle dis-
tance control mode does not function
correctly due to a dirty radar, etc.

With the cruise control off, press
and hold the cruise control main
switch for 1.5 seconds or more.

Immediately after the switch is pressed, the

radar cruise control indicator will come on.

Afterwards, it switches to the cruise con-

trol indicator.
Switching to constant speed control mode

is only possible when operating the switch

with the cruise control off.

road signs using the front camera
and/or navigation system (when data is
available) to provide information to the
driver via the display.

When the front camera recognizes a
sign and/or information of a sign is

available from navigation system, the
sign will be displayed on the
multi-information display.
 When the Driving support system

information display is selected, a
maximum of 3 signs can be dis-
played. (

BSM (Blind Spot Monitor)

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 confirm-
ing safety when changing lanes.

WARNING

■

Cautions regarding the use of the sys-

tem

The driver is solely responsible for safe

driving. Always drive safely, taking care

to observe your surroundings.
The Blind Spot Monitor is a supplemen-

tary function which alerts the driver that a

vehicle is in a blind spot of the outside

rear view mirrors or is approaching rap-

idly 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.

WARNING

■

When using the intuitive parking

assist

Observe the following precautions.

Failing to do so may result in the vehicle

being unable to be driven safely and pos-

sibly cause an accident.

●

Do not use the sensor at speeds in

excess of 6 mph (10 km/h).

●

The sensors’ detection areas and reac-

tion times are limited. When moving

forward or reversing, check the areas

surrounding the vehicle (especially the

sides of the vehicle) for safety, and

drive slowly, using the brake to control

the vehicle’s speed.

●

Do not install accessories within the

sensors’ detection areas.

●

The area directly under the bumpers is

not detected.

■

When to disable the function

In the following situations, disable the

function as it may operate even though

there is no possibility of a collision.

●

The vehicle is equipped with a fender

pole, wireless antenna or fog lights.

●

The front or rear bumper or a sensor

receives a strong impact.

●

A non-genuine Lexus suspension

(lowered suspension, etc.) is installed.

●

Towing eyelets are installed.

●

A backlit licence plate is installed.

■

When using intuitive parking assist

In the following situations, the system

may not function correctly due to a sen-

sor malfunction, etc. Have the vehicle

checked by your Lexus dealer.

●

The intuitive parking assist operation

display flashes or shows continuously,

and a buzzer sounds when no objects

are detected.

●

The power switch is in ON mode.

●

Intuitive parking assist function is on.

●

The vehicle speed is less than about 6

mph (10 km/h).

●

A shift position other than P is selected.

■

Setting the buzzer volume

The buzzer volume can be adjusted on the

multi-information display. (

P.264)

■

If “Parking Assist Unavailable Clean

Parking Assist Sensor” is displayed on

the multi-information display

A sensor may be covered with ice, snow,

dirt, etc. Remove the ice, snow, dirt, etc.,

from the sensor to return the system to nor-

mal.
Also, due to ice forming on a sensor at low

temperatures, a warning message may be

displayed or the sensor may not be able to

detect an object. Once the ice melts, the

system will return to normal.

■

Sensor detection information

●

The following situations may occur

during use.

• The sensors may be able to only detect

objects near the front and rear bumpers.

• Depending on the shape of the object

and other factors, the detection distance

may shorten, or detection may be impos-

sible.

• There will be a short delay between

object detection and display. Even at low

speeds, there is a possibility that the

object will come within the sensor’s

detection areas before the display is

shown and the warning beep sounds.

• It might be difficult to hear the buzzer due

to the volume of the audio system or air

flow noise of the air conditioning system.

• It may be difficult to hear the buzzer if

buzzers for other systems are sounding.

■

Conditions under which the function

may not function correctly

Certain vehicle conditions and the sur-

rounding environment may affect the ability

of a sensor to correctly detect objects. Par-

ticular instances where this may occur are

listed below.

●

There is dirt, snow or ice on a sensor.

(Cleaning the sensors will resolve this

problem.)

●

A sensor is frozen. (Thawing the area will

resolve this problem.)

In especially cold weather, if a sensor is

frozen the sensor display may be dis-

played abnormally, or objects, such as a

wall, may not be detected.

●

A sensor is covered in any way.

●

When a sensor or the area around a sen-

sor is extremely hot or cold.

●

On an extremely bumpy road, on an

incline, on gravel, or on grass.

WARNING

●

If the area around a sensor collides

with something, or is subjected to

strong impact.

●

If the bumper or grille collides with

something.

●

If the display flashes or is displayed

continuously and a buzzer does not

sound, except when the mute function

has been turned on.

●

If a display error occurs, first check the

sensor.

If the error occurs even when there is

no ice, snow or mud on the sensor, it is

likely that the sensor is malfunctioning.

Notes when washing the vehicle

Do not apply intensive bursts of water or

steam to the sensor area.
Doing so may result in the sensor mal-

functioning.

●

When using a high pressure washer to

wash the vehicle, do not spray the sen-

sors directly, as doing so may cause a

sensor to malfunction.

●

When using steam to clean the vehicle,

do not direct steam too close to the

sensors as doing so may cause a sen-

sor to malfunction.
