4-5. Using the driving support systems

If a warning message is displayed on the multi-information display

A system may be temporarily unavailable or there may be a malfunction in the system.

In the following situations, perform the actions specified in the table. When the normal 

operating conditions are detected, the message will disappear and the system will 

become operational.

If the message does not disappear, contact your Lexus dealer.

Situation

Actions

When the area around a camera is covered 
with dirt, moisture (fogged up, covered with 
condensation, ice, etc.), or other foreign 
matter

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

P.286)

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 sun-
light reflected from the surface of the sun-
shade may cause the temperature of the 
front camera 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.

Driving

In the following situations, if the situation has changed (or the vehicle has been driven for 

some time) and the normal operating conditions are detected, the message will disappear 

and the system will become operational.

If the message does not disappear, contact your Lexus dealer.

• When the temperature around the radar sensor is outside of the operational range, such 

as when the vehicle is in the sun or in an extremely cold environment

• When the front camera cannot detect objects in front of the vehicle, such as when driving 

in the dark, snow, or fog, or when bright lights are shining into the front camera

• Depending on the conditions in the vicinity of the vehicle, the radar may judge the sur-

rounding environment cannot be properly recognized. In that case, “Pre-Collision System 

Unavailable” is displayed.

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.

Close the hood, remove the sticker, etc. to 
clear the obstruction.

When “Pre-Collision System Unavailable” is 
displayed.

Check whether there is attached materials 
on the radar sensor and radar sensor cover, 
and if there is, remove it.

Situation

Actions

204

4-5. Using the driving support systems

The system can detect the following:

Vehicles

Bicyclists

Pedestrians

Pre-collision warning

When the system determines that the 
possibility of a frontal collision is high, a 
buzzer will sound and a warning mes-
sage will be displayed on the 
multi-information display to urge the 

driver to take evasive action.

Pre-collision brake assist

When the system determines that the 
possibility of a frontal collision is high, 
the system applies greater braking 
force in relation to how strongly the 
brake pedal is depressed.

Pre-collision braking

If the system determines that the possi-
bility of a frontal collision is extremely 
high, the brakes are automatically 
applied to help avoid the collision or 
reduce the impact of the collision.

Suspension control (if equipped)

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

P.266) will control the damp-

ing force of the shock absorbers to 
help maintain an appropriate vehicle 
posture.

PCS (Pre-Collision System)

The pre-collision system uses a 
radar sensor and front camera to 
detect objects (

P.204) in front of 

the vehicle. When the system 
determines that the possibility of a 
frontal collision with an object 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 deter-
mines that the possibility of a frontal 
collision with an object is extremely 
high, the brakes are automatically 
applied to help avoid the collision or 
help reduce the impact of the colli-
sion.

The pre-collision system can be dis-
abled/enabled and the warning tim-
ing can be changed. (

Driving

WARNING

Limitations of the pre-collision system

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.

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.208

• Conditions under which the system 

may not operate properly: 

P.209

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.

Pre-collision braking

When the pre-collision braking func-

tion is operating, a large amount of 

braking force will be applied.

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 2 seconds. Depress the 

brake pedal as necessary.

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.

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.

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.

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:

When the vehicle is being towed

When your vehicle is towing another 

vehicle

When transporting the vehicle via 

truck, boat, train or similar means of 

transportation

When the vehicle is raised on a lift with 

the engine running and the tires are 

allowed to rotate freely

When inspecting the vehicle using a 

drum tester such as a chassis dyna-

mometer or speedometer tester, or 

when using an on vehicle wheel bal-

ancer

When a strong impact is applied to the 

front bumper or front grille, due to an 

accident or other reasons

Enabling/disabling the pre-colli-
sion system

The pre-collision system can be 
enabled/disabled on 

 (

P.79) of 

the multi-information display.

The system is automatically enabled each 
time the engine switch is turned to IGNI-
TION 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.

Changing the pre-collision warn-
ing timing

The pre-collision warning timing can 
be changed on 

 (

P.79) of the 

multi-information display.

The warning timing setting is retained 
when the engine switch is turned off. How-
ever, if the pre-collision system is disabled 
and re-enabled, the operation timing will 
return to the default setting (middle).

Each function is operational at the following speed

Pre-collision warning

Pre-collision brake assist

Pre-collision braking

The system may not operate in the following situations:

If a battery terminal has been disconnected and reconnected and then the vehicle has not 

been driven for a certain amount of time

If the shift lever is in R

When the VSC OFF indicator is illuminated (only the pre-collision warning function will 

be operational)

Object detection function

The system detects objects based on their 

size, profile, motion, etc. However, an object 

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 prop-

erly. (

LTA (Lane Tracing Assist)

When driving on highways and 
freeways with white (yellow) lane 
lines, this function alerts the driver 
when the vehicle might depart from 
its lane or course

*

 and provides 

assistance by operating the steer-
ing wheel to keep the vehicle in its 
lane or course

*

. Furthermore, the 

system provides steering assistance 
when dynamic radar cruise control 
with full-speed range is operating 
to keep the vehicle in its lane.

The LTA system recognizes white 
(yellow) lane lines or a course

*

 

using the front camera. Addition-
ally, it detects preceding vehicles 
using the front camera and radar.

*

: Boundary between asphalt and the 

side of the road, such as grass, soil, or 
a curb

WARNING

Before using LTA system

Do not rely solely upon the LTA sys-

tem. The LTA system does not auto-

matically drive the vehicle or reduce 

the amount of attention that must be 

paid to the area in front of the vehicle. 

The driver must always assume full 

responsibility for driving safely by pay-

ing careful attention to the surround-

ing conditions and operating the 

steering wheel to correct the path of 

the vehicle. Also, the driver must take 

adequate breaks when fatigued, such 

as from driving for a long period of 

time.

Failure to perform appropriate driving 

operations and pay careful attention 

may lead to an accident, resulting in 

death or serious injury.

When not using the LTA system, use 

the LTA switch to turn the system off.

Situations unsuitable for LTA system

In the following situations, use the LTA 

switch to turn the system off. Failure to do 

so may lead to an accident, resulting in 

death or serious injury.

Vehicle is driven on a road surface 

which is slippery due to rainy weather, 

fallen snow, freezing, etc.

Vehicle is driven on a snow-covered 

road.
