4-5. Using the driving support systems

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.305) will control the damp-

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

WARNING

Limitations of the pre-collision sys-

tem

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 follow-

ing conditions carefully. 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.236

• Conditions under which the system

may not operate properly:



P.237

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.

Enabling/disabling the pre-colli-
sion system

The pre-collision system can be
enabled/disabled on

(



P.108) of

the multi-information display.

The system is automatically enabled each
time the power switch is turned to ON.

If the system is disabled, the PCS warn-

WARNING

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 hybrid system on and the tires are

allowed to rotate freely

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

When a strong impact is applied to the

front bumper or front grille, due to an

accident or other reasons

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

When the vehicle is driven in a sporty

manner or off-road

When the tires are not properly

inflated

When the tires are very worn

When tires of a size other than speci-

fied are installed

When tire chains are installed

When a compact spare tire or an

emergency tire puncture repair kit is

used

If equipment (snow plow, etc.) that

may obstruct the radar sensor or front

camera is temporarily installed to the

vehicle

LTA (Lane Tracing Assist)

While driving on a road with clear
white (yellow) lane lines, the LTA
system warns the driver if the vehi-
cle may deviate from the current
lane or course

, and also can

slightly operate the steering wheel
to help avoid deviation from the
lane or course

. Also, while the

dynamic radar cruise control with
full-speed range is operating, this
system will operate the steering
wheel to maintain the vehicle’s lane
position.

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.

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.

White (yellow) lines are difficult to see

due to rain, snow, fog, dust, etc.

Vehicle is driven in a temporary lane

or restricted lane due to construction

work.

Vehicle is driven in a construction

zone.

A spare tire, tire chains, etc. are

equipped.

When the tires have been excessively

worn, or when the tire inflation pres-

sure is low.

When your vehicle is towing a trailer

(vehicles with towing package) or

during emergency towing

Preventing LTA system malfunctions

and operations performed by mistake

Do not modify the headlights or place

stickers, etc. on the surface of the

lights.

Do not modify the suspension etc. If

the suspension etc. needs to be

replaced, contact any authorized

Lexus retailer or Lexus authorized

repairer, or any reliable repairer.

Do not install or place anything on the

hood or grille. Also, do not install a

grille guard (bull bars, kangaroo bar,

etc.).

If your windshield needs repairs, con-

tact any authorized Lexus retailer or

Lexus authorized repairer, or any reli-

able repairer.
