 Washer/wiper dual opera-

tion

Pulling the lever operates the wipers and 
washer.
The wipers will automatically operate a 
couple of times after the washer squirts. 
(After operating several times, the wipers 
operate once more time after a short delay 
to prevent dripping. However, the dripping 
prevention does not operate while the 
vehicle is moving.)
When the engine switch <power switch> is 
in IGNITION ON mode <ON mode> and 
the headlights are on, if the lever is pulled, 
the headlight cleaners will operate once. 
After this, the headlight cleaners will oper-
ate every 5th time the lever is pulled.

Q

The windshield wiper and washer can be 

operated when

The engine switch <power switch> is in 

IGNITION ON mode <ON mode>.

Q

Raindrop sensor

O

The raindrop sensor judges the amount 

of raindrops.

An optical sensor is adopted. It may not 

operate properly when sunlight from the 

rising or setting of the sun intermittently 

strikes the windshield, or if bugs etc. are 

present on the windshield.

O

If the wiper is turned to AUTO position 

while the engine switch <power switch> is 

in IGNITION ON mode <ON mode>, 

the wipers will operate once to show that 

AUTO mode is activated.

O

If the temperature of the raindrop sensor 

is 85°C (185°F) or higher, or -30°C (-

22°F) or lower, automatic operation may 

not occur. In this case, operate the wipers 

in any mode other than AUTO.

Q

If no windshield washer fluid sprays

Check that the washer nozzles are not 

blocked if there is washer fluid in the wind-

shield washer fluid reservoir.

Q

Door opening linked windshield wiper 

stop function

When AUTO is selected and the wind-

shield wipers are operating, if a door is 

opened, the operation of the windshield 

wipers will be stopped to prevent anyone 

near the vehicle from being sprayed by 

water from the wipers, provided the vehicle 

is stopped. When the door is closed, wiper 

operation will resume.

Q

To protect the windshield wipers

If movement of the windshield wipers is 

largely restricted by a foreign object such 

as snow, the operation of the windshield 

wipers may be stopped automatically to 

protect the windshield wipers. In this case, 

turn the windshield wiper switch off and 

196

4-3. Operating the lights and wipers

remove the foreign object, and then use the 

windshield wipers.

Q

When stopping the engine <hybrid sys-

tem> in an emergency while driving

If the windshield wipers are operating when 

the engine <hybrid system> is stopped, the 

windshield wipers will operate in high speed 

operation. After the vehicle is stopped, 

operation will return to normal when the 

engine switch <power switch> is turned to 

IGNITION ON mode <ON mode>, or 

operation will stop when the driver’s door is 

opened.

Q

Customization

The rain-sensing operation setting can be 

changed. 

(Customizable features: 

P.425)

When the windshield wipers are not 
being used, they retract to below the 
hood. To enable the windshield wipers 
to be lifted when parking in cold condi-
tions or when replacing a windshield 
wiper insert, change the rest position of 
the windshield wipers to the service 
position using the wiper lever.

Q

Raising the wipers to the service 
position

Within approximately 45 seconds of 
turning the engine switch <power 
switch> off, move the wiper lever to the 

 position and hold it for approxi-

mately 2 seconds or more.

The wipers will move to the service posi-
tion.

WARNING

Q

Caution regarding the use of wind-

shield wipers in AUTO mode

The windshield wipers may operate 

unexpectedly if the sensor is touched or 

the windshield is subject to vibration in 

AUTO mode. Take care that your fin-

gers or anything else do not become 

caught in the windshield wipers.

Q

Caution regarding the use of washer 

fluid

When it is cold, do not use the washer 

fluid until the windshield becomes warm. 

The fluid may freeze on the windshield 

and cause low visibility. This may lead to 

an accident, resulting in death or serious 

injury.

NOTICE

Q

When there is no washer fluid spray 

from the nozzle

Damage to the washer fluid pump may 

be caused if the lever is pulled toward 

you and held continually.

Q

When a nozzle becomes blocked

In this case, contact any authorized 

Lexus retailer or Lexus authorized 

repairer, or any reliable repairer. 

Do not try to clear it with a pin or other 

object. The nozzle will be damaged.

Before refueling the vehicle

WARNING

Q

When refueling the vehicle

Observe the following precautions while 

refueling the vehicle. Failure to do so 

may result in death or serious injury.

O

After exiting the vehicle and before 

opening the fuel door, touch an 

unpainted metal surface to discharge 

any static electricity. It is important to 

discharge static electricity before refu-

eling because sparks resulting from 

static electricity can cause fuel vapors 

to ignite while refueling.

O

Always hold the grips on the fuel tank 

cap and turn it slowly to remove it. 

A whooshing sound may be heard 

when the fuel tank cap is loosened. 

Wait until the sound cannot be heard 

before fully removing the cap. In hot 

weather, pressurized fuel may spray 

out the filler neck and cause injury.

O

Do not allow anyone that has not dis-

charged static electricity from their 

body to come close to an open fuel 

tank.

O

Do not inhale vaporized fuel.

Fuel contains substances that are 

harmful if inhaled.

O

Do not smoke while refueling the vehi-

cle.

Doing so may cause the fuel to ignite 

and cause a fire.

O

Do not return to the vehicle or touch 

any person or object that is statically 

charged.

This may cause static electricity to 

build up, resulting in a possible ignition 

hazard.

Q

When refueling

Observe the following precautions to 

prevent fuel overflowing from the fuel 

tank:

O

Securely insert the fuel nozzle into the 

fuel filler neck.

O

Stop filling the tank after the fuel noz-

zle automatically clicks off.

O

Do not top off the fuel tank.

NOTICE

Q

Refueling

Do not spill fuel during refueling. 

Doing so may damage the vehicle, such 

as causing the emission control system to 

operate abnormally or damaging fuel 

system components or the vehicle’s 

painted surface.

condensation, ice, etc.), or other foreign 
matter

Using the wiper and A/C function, remove 
the dirt and other attached matter. 
(

P.281).

When the temperature around the front 
camera is outside of the operational range, 
such as when the vehicle is in the sun or in an 
extremely cold environment

If the front camera is hot, such as after the 
vehicle had been parked in the sun, use the 
air conditioning system to decrease the tem-
perature 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 envi-
ronment, use the air conditioning system to 
increase the temperature 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.

 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 pedestrian 
is extremely high, the brakes are automatically applied to help avoid the colli-
sion or help reduce the impact of the collision.

the system applies greater braking 
force in relation to how strongly the 
brake pedal is depressed.

Q

Pre-collision braking

When the system determines that the 
possibility of a frontal collision is high, 
the system warns the driver. If the sys-
tem 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.

Q

Suspension control

When the system determines that the 
possibility of a frontal collision is high, 
the Adaptive Variable Suspension Sys-
tem (

P.261) will control the damping 

force of the shock absorbers to help 
maintain an appropriate vehicle pos-
ture.

Q

Steering control (if equipped)

When the system determines that the 
possibility of a frontal collision is high 
and the driver is operating the steering 

wheel, the LDH system (

control the turning angle of the front 
and rear wheels and effort necessary 
to turn the steering wheel to help 
enhance steering responsiveness.

WARNING

Q

Limitations of the pre-collision sys-

tem

O

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 col-

lision damage or injury in every situa-

tion. Do not overly rely on this system. 

Failure to do so may lead to an acci-

dent, resulting in death or serious 

injury.

O

Although this system is designed to 

help avoid a collision or help reduce 

the impact of the collision, its effective-

ness 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 care-

fully. Do not overly rely on this system 

and always drive carefully.

• Conditions under which the system 

may operate even if there is no possi-

bility of a collision: 

P.210

• Conditions under which the system 

may not operate properly: 

P.211

O

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, pos-

sibly leading to an accident.

WARNING

Q

Pre-collision braking

O

When the pre-collision braking func-

tion is operating, a large amount of 

braking force will be applied.

O

If the vehicle is stopped by the opera-

tion of the pre-collision braking func-

tion, the pre-collision braking function 

operation will be canceled after 

approximately 2seconds. Depress the 

brake pedal as necessary.

O

The pre-collision braking function may 

not operate if certain operations are 

performed by the driver. If the acceler-

ator pedal is being depressed strongly 

or the steering wheel is being turned, 

the system may determine that the 

driver is taking evasive action and pos-

sibly prevent the pre-collision braking 

function from operating.

O

In some situations, while the pre-colli-

sion braking function is operating, 

operation of the function may be can-

celed if the accelerator pedal is 

depressed strongly or the steering 

wheel is turned and the system deter-

mines that the driver is taking evasive 

action.

O

If the brake pedal is being depressed, 

the system may determine that the 

driver is taking evasive action and pos-

sibly delay the operation timing of the 

pre-collision braking function.

Q

When to disable the pre-collision sys-

tem

In the following situations, disable the 

system, as it may not operate properly, 

possibly leading to an accident resulting 

in death or serious injury:

O

When the vehicle is being towed

O

When your vehicle is towing another 

vehicle

O

When transporting the vehicle via 

truck, boat, train or similar means of 

transportation

O

When the vehicle is raised on a lift with 

the engine running <hybrid system on> 

and the tires are allowed to rotate 

freely

O

When inspecting the vehicle using a 

drum tester such as a chassis 

dynamometer or speedometer tester, 

or when using an on vehicle wheel bal-

ancer

O

When a strong impact is applied to the 

front bumper or front grille, due to an 

accident or other reasons

O

If the vehicle cannot be driven in a sta-

ble manner, such as when the vehicle 

has been in an accident or is malfunc-

tioning

O

When the vehicle is driven in a sporty 

manner or off-road

O

When the tires are not properly 

inflated

O

When the tires are very worn

O

When tires of a size other than speci-

fied are installed

O

When tire chains are installed

O

When a compact spare tire or an 

emergency tire puncture repair kit is 

used

O

If equipment (snow plow, etc.) that 

may obstruct the radar sensor or front 

camera is temporarily installed to the

Enabling/disabling the pre-colli-
sion system

The pre-collision system can be 
enabled/disabled on 

 (

P.96) of 

the multi-information display.

The system is automatically enabled each 
time the engine switch <power switch> is 
turned to IGNITION ON mode <ON 
mode>.

If the system is disabled, the PCS warn-
ing light will turn on and a message will 
be displayed on the multi-information 
display.

Q

Changing the pre-collision warn-
ing timing

The pre-collision warning timing can 
be changed on

Q

Pedestrian detection function

*2

The pre-collision system detects pedestri-

ans based on the size, profile, and motion of 

a detected object. However, a pedestrian 

may not be detected depending on the sur-

rounding brightness and the motion, pos-

ture, and angle of the detected object, 

preventing the system from operating 

properly. (

P.211)

*2

: For countries/areas specified as Region 

B (

P.205), the pedestrian detection 

function may not be available.
