WARNING

Q

Cautions regarding the use of the 

system

There is a limit to the degree of recogni-

tion accuracy and control performance 

that this system can provide, do not 

overly rely on this system. The driver is 

always responsible for paying attention 

to the vehicle’s surroundings and driving 

safely.

Q

To ensure the system can operate 

properly

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.

O

Do not damage the sensors, and 

always keep them clean.

O

Do not attach a sticker or install an 

electronic component, such as a 

backlit license plate (especially fluo-

rescent type), fog lights, fender pole or 

wireless antenna near a radar sensor.

O

Do not subject the surrounding area of 

the sensor to a strong impact. If sub-

jected to an impact, have the vehicle 

inspected by any authorized Lexus 

retailer or Lexus authorized repairer, 

or any reliable repairer. If the front or 

rear bumper needs to be 

removed/installed or replaced, con-

tact any authorized Lexus retailer or 

Lexus authorized repairer, or any reli-

able repairer.

O

Do not modify, disassemble or paint 

the sensors.

O

Do not attach a license plate cover.

O

Keep your tires properly inflated.

Q

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.

O

Failing to observe the warnings above.

O

A non-genuine Lexus suspension 

(lowered suspension, etc.) is installed.

Q

Notes when washing the vehicle

O

Do not apply intensive bursts of water 

or steam to the sensor area. Doing so 

may result in the sensor malfunction-

ing.

O

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.

O

When using steam to clean the vehi-

cle, do not direct steam too close to 

the sensors as doing so may cause a 

sensor to malfunction.

Q

Buzzer operation and distance to 
an obstacle

A buzzer sounds when the sensors are 
operating.

The buzzer beeps faster as the vehi-
cle approaches an obstacle. When 

the vehicle comes within the follow-
ing distance of the obstacle, the 
buzzer sounds continuously:

• Front center sensors: Approximately 30 

cm (1.0 ft.)

• Corner sensors: Approximately 30 cm 

(1.0 ft.)

• Rear center sensors: Approximately 35 

cm (1.1 ft.)

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.

Q

Operation of the RCTA function

The RCTA function uses radar sensors to detect vehicles approaching from the 
right or left at the rear of the vehicle and alerts the driver of the presence of such 
vehicles by flashing the outside rear view mirror indicators and sounding a buzzer.

WARNING

Q

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 BSM function is a supplementary 

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 BSM function. 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 nec-

essary.

Active rear wing

*

The vehicle is equipped with an 
active rear wing that operates 
automatically 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.

Fixed rear wing

The rear wing uses CFRP (Carbon Fiber 

Reinforced Plastic) parts, therefore pay 

attention to the following:

O

As the CFRP parts may change color if 

they are exposed to ultraviolet rays for 

extended periods of time, Lexus recom-

mends that your vehicle be stored in a 

place where it will not be exposed to 

direct sunlight.

O

Do not use wax that contains abrasives.

O

Do not use automatic car washes as they 

may scratch the CFRP parts and damage 

the paint, or may damage the rear wing.

To close the trunk, press the portions 

 of the rear wing.

Fixed rear wing

Installing a fixed rear wing will 
increase aerodynamic perfor-
mance when driving and will help to 
improve both driving stability and 
riding comfort.
