After the vehicle ahead of you starts 
off, push the lever up.
Your vehicle will also resume follow-up 
cruising if the accelerator pedal is 
depressed after the vehicle ahead of 
you starts off.

1

Pulling the lever toward you can-
cels the speed control.

The speed control is also canceled when 
the brake pedal is depressed.
(When the vehicle has been stopped by 
system control, depressing the brake pedal 
does not cancel the setting.)

2

Pushing the lever up resumes the 
cruise control and returns vehicle 
speed to the set speed.

However, when a vehicle ahead is not 
detected, cruise control does not resume 
when the vehicle speed is approximately 
25 mph (40 km/h) or less.

When your vehicle is too close to a 
vehicle ahead, and sufficient automatic 
deceleration via the cruise control is 
not possible, the display will flash and 
the buzzer will sound to alert the driver. 
An example of this would be if another 
driver cuts in front of you while you are 
following a vehicle. Depress the brake 
pedal to ensure an appropriate vehi-
cle-to-vehicle distance.

Warnings may not occur when

In the following instances, warnings 
may not occur even when the vehicle-
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

Vehicle speed is at or above approxi-

mately 30 mph (50 km/h). 

However, when a preceding vehicle is 

detected, the dynamic radar cruise con-

trol with full-speed range can be set even 

if the vehicle speed is below approxi-

mately 30 mph (50 km/h).

Accelerating after setting the vehicle 

speed

The vehicle can accelerate by operating the 

accelerator pedal. After accelerating, the 

set speed resumes. However, during vehi-

cle-to-vehicle distance control mode, the 

vehicle speed may decrease below the set 

speed in order to maintain the distance to 

the preceding vehicle.

When the vehicle stops while follow-up 

cruising

Pushing the lever up while the vehicle 

ahead stops will resume follow-up cruis-

ing if the vehicle ahead starts off within 

approximately 3 seconds after the lever 

is pushed up.

If the vehicle ahead starts off within 3 sec-

onds after your vehicle stops, follow-up 

cruising will be resumed.

Automatic cancelation of vehicle-to-

vehicle distance control mode

Vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode is 

automatically canceled in the following situ-

ations:

Actual vehicle speed falls at or below 

approximately 25 mph (40 km/h) when 

there are no vehicles ahead.

The preceding vehicle leaves the lane 

when your vehicle is following at a vehicle 

speed at or below approximately 25 mph 

(40 km/h). Otherwise, the sensor can 

not properly detect the vehicle. 

(“CRUISE NOT AVAILABLE No pre-

ceding vehicle” is displayed on the multi-

information display.)

Sensor detection information

The sensor’s detection areas are limited 

to the areas around the vehicle’s bumper.

Certain vehicle conditions and the sur-

rounding environment may affect the 

ability of a sensor to correctly detect an 

obstacle. Particular instances where this 

may occur are listed below.

• There is dirt, snow or ice on the sensor. 

(Wiping the sensors will resolve this 

problem.)

• The sensor is frozen. (Thawing the area 

will resolve this problem.)

In especially cold weather, if a sensor is 

frozen the screen may show an abnormal 

display, or obstacles may not be 

detected.

• The sensor is covered in any way.

• The vehicle is leaning considerably to one 

side.

• On an extremely bumpy road, on an 

incline, on gravel, or on grass.

• The vicinity of the vehicle is noisy due to 

vehicle horns, motorcycle engines, air 

brakes of large vehicles, or other loud 

noises producing ultrasonic waves.

• There is another vehicle equipped with 

parking assist sensors in the vicinity.

• The sensor is coated with a sheet of spray 

or heavy rain.

• The vehicle is equipped with a fender 

pole or wireless antenna.

• Towing eyelets are installed.

• The bumper or sensor receives a strong 

impact.

• A backlit license plate, license plate 

holder, etc., are installed.

• The vehicle is approaching a tall or 

curved curb.

• In harsh sunlight or intense cold weather.

• The area directly under the bumpers is 

not detected.

• If obstacles draw too close to the sensor.

• A non-genuine Lexus suspension (low-

ered suspension etc.) is installed.

• People may not be detected if they are 

wearing certain types of clothing.

In addition to the examples above, there are 
instances in which, because of their shape, 
signs and other objects may be judged by a 
sensor to be closer than they are.

The shape of the obstacle may prevent a 

sensor from detecting it. Pay particular 

attention to the following obstacles:

• Wires, fences, ropes, etc.

• Cotton, snow and other materials that 

absorb sound waves

• Sharply-angled objects

• Low obstacles

• Tall obstacles with upper sections pro-

jecting outwards in the direction of your 

vehicle

The following situations may occur 

during use.

• Depending on the shape of the obstacle 

and other factors, the detection distance 

may shorten, or detection may be impos-

sible.

• Obstacles may not be detected if they 

are too close to the sensor.

• There will be a short delay between 

obstacle detection and display. Even at 

slow speeds, there is a possibility that the 

obstacle will come within the sensor’s 

detection areas before the display is 

shown and the buzzer sounds.

• Thin posts or objects lower than the sen-

sor may not be detected when 

approached, even if they have been 

detected once.

• It might be difficult to hear beeps due to 

the volume of audio system or air flow 

noise of the air conditioning system.

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.

NOTICE

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, and a buzzer sounds 

when no obstacles are detected.

If the area around a sensor collides 

with something, or is subjected to 

strong impact.

If the bumper collides with something.

If the display shows continuously with-

out beeping, except when the buzzer 

mute switch has been turned on.

If a display error occurs, first check the 

sensor.

If the error occurs even if 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.

Buzzer operation and distance to 
an obstacle

A buzzer sounds when the sensors are 
operating.

 The buzzer sounds faster as the 

vehicle approaches an obstacle.
When the vehicle comes within the 
approximately 1.0 ft. (30 cm) of the 
obstacle, the buzzer sounds contin-
uously.

 When 2 or more obstacles are 

detected simultaneously, the buzzer 
system responds to the nearest 
obstacle. If one or both come within 
the above distances, the beep will 
repeat a long tone, followed by fast 
beeps.

 Automatic buzzer mute function:

After a buzzer begins sounding, if 
the distance between the vehicle 
and the detected object does not 
become shorter, the buzzer will be 
muted automatically. (However, if 
the distance between the vehicle 
and object is 1.0 ft. (30 cm) or less, 
this function will not operate.)

: If  equipped

The system operates in the following 
situations when an obstacle is detected 
in the traveling direction of the vehicle.

The vehicle is driven at low speeds 
and the brake pedal is not 
depressed, or is depressed too late

The accelerator pedal is depressed 
too far

When the shift lever is mistakenly 
in D and the vehicle moves forward

Parking Support Brake func-
tion (for static objects)

*

When a collision may occur with an 
obstacle while parking or traveling 
at low speeds, when the vehicle 
suddenly moves forward due to 
mistaken accelerator pedal opera-
tion, or when the vehicle moves due 
to the shift lever being in the wrong 
position, the sensors detect obsta-
cles to the front or rear in the travel-
ing direction of the vehicle, and the 
system operates to lessen impact 
with obstacles such as walls, and 
reduce resulting damage.

WARNING

For safe use

Do not rely solely upon the system. Rely-

ing solely upon the system may lead to an 

unexpected accident.

Driving safely is the sole responsibility 

of the driver. Pay careful attention to 

the surrounding conditions in order to 

ensure safe driving. The Parking Sup-

port Brake function (for static objects) 

can provide support to lessen the 

severity of collisions. However, it may 

not operate depending on the situa-

tion.

The Parking Support Brake function 

(for static objects) is not a system 

designed to completely stop the vehi-

cle. Furthermore, even if the Parking 

Support Brake function (for static 

objects) is able to stop the vehicle, 

brake control is canceled after 

approximately 2 seconds, so depress 

the brake pedal immediately.

NOTICE

Preventing sensor malfunctions

If the area around a sensor is subjected 

to an impact, equipment may not oper-

ate properly due to a sensor malfunc-

tion. Have the vehicle inspected by 

your Lexus dealer.

When using a high-pressure washer to 

wash the vehicle, do not spray water 

directly on the sensors. The sensors 

may not function properly if subjected 

to an impact from strong water pres-

sure.

When using steam to wash the vehicle, 

do not direct steam too close to the 

sensors. The sensors may not function 

properly if subjected to steam.
