Hands off steering wheel warning

In the following situations, a warning mes-

sage urging the driver to hold the steering 

wheel and the symbol shown in the illustra-

tion are displayed on the multi-information 

display to warn the driver. The warning 

stops when the system determines that the 

driver holds the steering wheel. Always 

keep your hands on the steering wheel 

when using this system, regardless of warn-

ings.
Depending on the vehicle condition and 

road conditions, the warning may not oper-

ate. Also, if the system determines that the 

vehicle is driving around a curve, warnings 

will occur earlier than during straight-lane 

driving.

When the system determines that the 

driver is driving without holding the steer-

ing wheel while the system is operating

If the driver continues to keep their hands 
off of the steering wheel, the buzzer 
sounds, the driver is warned and the func-
tion is temporarily canceled. This warning 
also operates in the same way when the 
driver continuously operates the steering 
wheel only a small amount.
The buzzer also sounds even if the alert 
type is set to

: If the turn signal indicator is not oper-

ated when changing lanes, the mark

In the following situations, the RSA sys-
tem will notify the driver.

When the vehicle speed exceeds 
the speed notification threshold of 
the speed limit sign displayed, the 
sign display will be emphasized and 
a buzzer will sound.

When the RSA system recognizes a 
no-entry sign and detects that the 
vehicle has entered a no-entry area 
based on the map information of the 
navigation system, the no-entry sign 
flashes and a buzzer will sound. (For 
vehicles with navigation system)

If it is detected that your vehicle is 
overtaking when a no overtaking 
sign is displayed on the multi-infor-
mation display, the displayed sign 
will flash and a steering wheel will 
vibrate.

Depending on the situation, traffic 
environment (traffic direction, speed 
unit) may be detected incorrectly and a 
notification function may not operate 
properly.

Automatic turn-off of RSA sign display

One or more signs automatically turn off in 

the following situations.

No sign has been recognized for a cer-

tain distance.

The road changes due to a left or right 

turn, etc.

Conditions in which the function may 

not operate or detect correctly

In the following situations, RSA does not 

operate normally and may not recognize 

signs, display the incorrect sign, etc. How-

ever, this does not indicate a malfunction.

The front camera is misaligned due to a 

strong impact being applied to the sen-

sor, etc.

Dirt, snow, stickers, etc. are on the wind-

shield near the front camera.

In inclement weather such as heavy rain, 

fog, snow or sand storms.

Light from an oncoming vehicle, the sun, 

etc. enters the front camera.

The sign is dirty, faded, tilted or bent.

The contrast of electronic sign is low.

All or part of the sign is hidden by the 

leaves of a tree, a pole, etc.

The sign is only visible to the front camera 

for a short amount of time.

The driving scene (turning, lane change, 

etc.) is judged incorrectly.

If a sign not appropriate for the currently 

traveled lane, but the sign exists directly 

after a freeway branches, or in an adja-

cent lane just before merging.

Stickers are attached to the rear of the 

preceding vehicle.

A sign resembling a system compatible 

sign is recognized.

Side road speed signs may be detected 

and displayed (if positioned in sight of the 

front camera) while the vehicle is 

traveling on the main road.

Roundabout exit road speed signs may 

be detected and displayed (if positioned 

in sight of the front camera) while 

traveling on a roundabout.

The front of the vehicle is raised or low-

ered due to the carried load.

The surrounding brightness is not suffi-

cient or changes suddenly.

When a sign intended for trucks, etc. is 

recognized.

The vehicle is driven in a country with a 

different direction of traffic.

The navigation system map data is out-

dated.

The navigation system is not operating.

The speed information displayed on the 

meter and on the navigation system may 

be different due to the navigation system 

using map data.

Speed limit sign display

If the engine switch was last turned off while 

a speed limit sign was displayed on the 

multi-information display, the same sign dis-

plays again when the engine switch is 

turned to IGNITION ON mode.

If “RSA Malfunction Visit Your Dealer” 

is shown

The system may be malfunctioning. Have 

the vehicle inspected by any authorized 

Lexus retailer or Lexus authorized repairer, 

or any reliable repairer.

WARNING

Before using dynamic radar cruise 

control with full-speed range

Driving safely is the sole responsibility 

of the driver. Do not rely solely on the 

system, and drive safely by always pay-

ing careful attention to your 

surroundings.

The dynamic radar cruise control with 

full-speed range provides driving 

assistance to reduce the driver’s bur-

den. However, there are limitations to 

the assistance provided.

Read the following conditions care-

fully. Do not overly rely on this system 

and always drive carefully.

• When the sensor may not be correctly 

detecting the vehicle ahead: 

P.275

• Conditions under which the vehi-

cle-to-vehicle distance control mode 

may not function correctly:
