2006 Lexus GS430 brake sensor

Cautions
 Do not rely too much on dynamic radar cruise control. Vehicletovehicle distance control has its limitations.
Always remain aware of the distance from the vehicle ahead and other veh\
icles. If necessary, depress the brake pedal to ensure
sufficient distance.
 Dynamic radar cruise control is not a collisionavoidance system.
If necessary, depress the brake pedal to ensure sufficient distance.
 Dynamic radar cruise control should not be used in the following conditi\
ons:
In bad weather (such as rain, fog, snow, sandstorms)
 Raindrops or snowflakes get in the millimeter wave radar sensor or the g\
rille cover
 On the roads in heavy traffic or at sharp bends
 On slippery road surfaces (icy or snow− covered road surfaces)
 On steep downhill slopes
 Acceleration or deceleration must be repeated
 On roads with steep and short inclines and declines
In any conditions of the above, an appropriate vehicle −to− vehicle distance control
may not be attained.
 This system is not provided to justify careless driving.
Always remain aware of the distance from the vehicle ahead and other veh\
icles.
 The dynamic radar cruise control should not be used when exiting from,
or when entering or merging onto a freeway.
When you are following a slower moving vehicle and exiting, the sensor d\
oes not detect
the vehicle and will accelerate to preset speed.

Warning Display
If there is trouble somewhere in the dynamic radar cruise control while th\
e vehicle −to− vehicle distance control mode is on, the “CRUISE”
indicator light in the instrument cluster flashes, the master warning light comes \
on and the warning tone sounds, and one or mo re of the
warning messages will appear on the multi −information display.
If a warning message appears on the display, take the appropriate measure referring to Section 3 −1, “Owner’s Manual”.
 Approach Warning
Dynamic radar cruise control and approach warning do not operate when the vehicl\
e ahead is at a stop
or is driving much slower than your vehicle. Use caution for the vehicle at the end of the line in heavy
traffic or at the tollgate, the vehicle at a stop and the very slow vehicle.
If your vehicle approaches the vehicle ahead because of insufficient braking when the vehicle ahead deceler-
ates abruptly or when another vehicle cuts in ahead of you, the multi −information display flashes and beeps.
Depress the brake pedal to slow down, ensuring sufficient vehicle −to− vehicle distance.
Warning message
