Driving

Conditions under which the RCTA func-

tion will not detect a vehicle

The RCTA function is not designed to 

detect the following types of vehicles and/or 

objects:

Vehicles approaching from directly 

behind

Vehicles backing up in a parking space 

next to your vehicle

Vehicles that the sensors cannot detect 

due to obstructions

Guardrails, walls, signs, parked vehicles 
and similar stationary objects

*

Small motorcycles, bicycles, pedestrians, 
etc.

*

Vehicles moving away from your vehicle

Vehicles approaching from the parking 
spaces next to your vehicle

*

*

: Depending on the conditions, detection 

of a vehicle and/or object may occur.

Conditions under which the RCTA func-

tion may not function correctly

The RCTA function may not detect vehi-

cles correctly in the following situations:

• When the sensor is misaligned due to a 

strong impact to the sensor or its sur-

rounding area

• When mud, snow, ice, a sticker, etc. is 

covering the sensor or surrounding area 

on the rear bumper

• When driving on a road surface that is 

wet with standing water during bad 

weather, such as heavy rain, snow, or fog

• When multiple vehicles are approaching 

with only a small gap between each vehi-

cle

• When a vehicle is approaching at high 

speed

• When a towing eyelet is installed to the 

rear of the vehicle.

• When backing up on a slope with a sharp 

change in grade

• When backing out of a shallow angle 

parking spot

• Immediately after the RCTA function is 

turned on

• Immediately after the engine <hybrid sys-

tem> is started with the RCTA function on

• When the sensors cannot detect a vehi-

cle due to obstructions

Instances of the RCTA function unneces-

sarily detecting a vehicle and/or object 

may increase in the following situations:

WARNING

Cautions regarding the use of the 

function

The driver is solely responsible for safe 

driving. Always drive safely, taking care 

to observe your surroundings.
The RCTA function is only a supplemen-

tary function which alerts the driver that a 

vehicle is approaching from the right or 

left at the rear of the vehicle. As the 

RCTA function may not function cor-

rectly under certain conditions, the 

driver’s own visual confirmation of safety 

is necessary. Over reliance on this func-

tion may lead to an accident resulting 

death or serious injury.

Active rear wing

*

The vehicle is equipped with an 
active rear wing that operates auto-
matically while the vehicle is being 
driven. This active rear wing 
enhances aerodynamic perfor-
mance, especially at high speeds, 
contributing to a more stable ride.
The active rear wing can be con-
trolled manually using a switch.

slowly 

(on vehicles with LDH, DRS is disabled 

together with VGRS)

When the steering wheel has been held 

fully to the left or right

The center position of the steering wheel 

may change when VGRS is disabled. How-

ever, the position will return to normal after 

VGRS is reactivated.

When the 12-volt battery is discon-

nected (vehicles with VGRS)

The steering wheel may move from its 

straight forward position, but this will be 

corrected automatically when driving.

Sounds and vibrations caused by the 

ABS, brake assist, VSC, TRAC, hill-start 

assist control and VGRS systems

A sound may be heard from the engine 

compartment when the brake pedal is 

depressed repeatedly, when the engine 

<hybrid system> is started or just after the 

vehicle begins to move. This sound does 

not indicate that a malfunction has 

occurred in any of these systems.

Any of the following conditions may 

occur when the above systems are oper-

ating. None of these indicates that a mal-

function has occurred.

• Vibrations may be felt through the vehicle

When the Active Cornering Assist is oper-

ated, operation sounds and vibrations may 

be generated from the brake system, but 

this is not a malfunction.

EPS, VGRS and DRS 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 <power 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.

large amount

If “Secondary Collision Brake system 

Malfunction” is displayed on the multi-

information display

The system may be malfunctioning. Have 

the vehicle inspected at your Lexus dealer.

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 <hybrid system> off. The EPS sys-

tem should return to normal within 10 min-

utes.

WARNING

The ABS does not operate effectively 

when

WARNING

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 overly rely on Active Corner-

ing 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 and 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/ABS/ 

VSC/VGRS

*

/DRS

*

 is activated

The slip indicator light flashes. Always 

drive carefully. Reckless driving may 

cause an accident. Exercise particular 

care when the indicator light flashes.

*

: Only when controlled by the VDIM 

system.

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.

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.

Secondary Collision Brake

Do not rely solely upon the Secondary 

Collision 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.

4-6.Driving tips

When using Eco drive mode, the 
torque corresponding to the accelera-
tor pedal depression amount can be 
generated more smoothly than it is in 
normal conditions. In addition, the 
operation of the air conditioning sys-
tem (heating/cooling) will be mini-
mized, improving the fuel economy. 
(

P.224)

The Eco-friendly driving is possible by 
keeping the indicate of Hybrid System 
Indicator within Eco area. (

P.80)

Shift the shift position to D when 
stopped at a traffic light, or driving in 
heavy traffic etc. Shift the shift position 
to P when parking. When using the N 
position, there is no positive effect on 
fuel consumption. In the N position, the 
gasoline engine operates but electric-
ity cannot be generated. Also, when 
using the air conditioning system, etc., 
the hybrid battery (traction battery) 
power is consumed.

Drive your vehicle smoothly. Avoid 
abrupt acceleration and decelera-
tion. Gradual acceleration and 
deceleration will make more effec-
tive use of the electric motor (trac-
tion motor) without having to use 
gasoline engine power.

Avoid repeated acceleration. 
Repeated acceleration consumes 
hybrid battery (traction battery) 
power, resulting in poor fuel con-
sumption. Battery power can be 
restored by driving with the acceler-
ator pedal slightly released.

Make sure to operate the brakes gently 
and in a timely manner. A greater 
amount of electrical energy can be 
regenerated when slowing down.

Repeated acceleration and decelera-
tion, as well as long waits at traffic 
lights, will lead to bad fuel economy. 
Check traffic reports before leaving 
and avoid delays as much as possible. 
When driving in a traffic jam, gently 
release the brake pedal to allow the 
vehicle to move forward slightly while 
avoiding overuse of the accelerator 
pedal. Doing so can help control 
excessive gasoline consumption.

Hybrid vehicle driving tips 
(LC500h)

For economical and ecological 
driving, pay attention to the follow-
ing points:

Using Eco drive mode

Use of Hybrid System Indicator

Changing the shift position

Accelerator pedal/brake pedal 
operation

When braking

Delays

249

4-6. Driving tips

Driving

Control and maintain the vehicle at a 
constant speed. Before stopping at a 
toll booth or similar, allow plenty of 
time to release the accelerator and 
gently apply the brakes. A greater 
amount of electrical energy can be 
regenerated when slowing down.

Use the air conditioning only when 
necessary. Doing so can help reduce 
excessive gasoline consumption. 
In summer: When the ambient tem-
perature is high, use the recirculated 
air mode. Doing so will help to reduce 
the burden on the air conditioning sys-
tem and reduce fuel consumption as 
well. 
In winter: Because the gasoline engine 
will not automatically cut out until it and 
the interior of the vehicle are warm, it 
will consume fuel. Also, fuel consump-
tion can be improved by avoiding over-
use of the heater.

Make sure to check the tire inflation 
pressure frequently. Improper tire infla-
tion pressure can cause poor fuel 
economy. 
Also, as snow tires can cause large 
amounts of friction, their use on dry 
roads can lead to poor fuel economy. 
Use tires that are appropriate for the 
season.

Carrying heavy luggage will lead to 
poor fuel economy. Avoid carrying 
unnecessary luggage. Installing a large 
roof rack will also cause poor fuel 
economy.

Since the gasoline engine starts up and 
cuts out automatically when cold, 
warming up the engine is unnecessary. 
Moreover, frequently driving short dis-
tances will cause the engine to repeat-
edly warm up, which can lead to excess 
fuel consumption.

4-6. Driving tips

Use fluids that are appropriate to 
the prevailing outside temperatures.

• Engine  oil
• Engine coolant
• Power control unit coolant (LC500h)
• Washer  fluid

Have a service technician inspect 
the condition of the 12-volt battery.

Have the vehicle fitted with four 
snow tires.

Ensure that all tires are the specified size 
and the same brand.

Perform the following according to the 
driving conditions:

Do not try to forcibly open a window 
or move a wiper that is frozen. Pour 
warm water over the frozen area to 
melt the ice. Wipe away the water 
immediately to prevent it from 
freezing.

When the outside door handle is 
frozen, unlock the doors using the 
wireless remote control. If the out-
side door handles remain retracted 
and do not move even if the doors 
are unlocked using the wireless 
remote control, pour warm water 
over the frozen area to melt the ice 
and wipe away the water immedi-
ately to prevent it from freezing. The 
outside door handle may not retract 
due to ice, however, the outside 
door handle will return to the nor-
mal position after the ice melts.

To ensure proper operation of the 
climate control system fan, remove 

Winter driving tips

Carry out the necessary prepara-
tions and inspections before driving 
the vehicle in winter. Always drive 
the vehicle in a manner appropriate 
to the prevailing weather condi-
tions.

Preparation for winter

WARNING

Driving with snow tires

ous injury.

Use tires of the specified size.

Maintain the recommended level of air 

pressure.

Do not drive in excess of 75 mph (120 

km/h), regardless of the type of snow 

tires being used.

Use snow tires on all, not just some 

wheels.

NOTICE

Driving with tire chains

Do not fit tire chains. Tire chains may 

damage the vehicle body and suspen-

sion, and adversely affect driving perfor-

mance.

Repairing or replacing snow tires

Request repairs or replacement of snow 

tires from Lexus dealers or legitimate tire 

retailers. 

This is because the removal and attach-

ment of snow tires affects the operation 

of the tire pressure warning valves and 

transmitters.

any snow that has accumulated on 
the air inlet vents in front of the 
windshield.

Check for and remove any excess 
ice or snow that may have accumu-
lated on the exterior lights, vehicle’s 
roof, chassis, around the tires or on 
the brakes.

Remove any snow or mud from the 
bottom of your shoes before getting 
in the vehicle.

To protect the windshield wipers

P.188

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 shift the shift posi-
tion to P without setting the parking 
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 leading to 
an accident.

Tire chains cannot be mounted.

Snow tires should be used instead.

To enable the windshield wipers to be 
lifted when heavy snow or icy condi-
tions are expected, change the rest 
position of the windshield wipers from 
the retracted position below the hood 
to the service position using the wiper 
lever. (
