When driving
Cruising in the vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode
The system employs a millimeter radar or laser radar sensor affixed in the
front end to detect the pr esence of a vehicle ahead as well as measuring
the distance from your vehicle. The detection range of the sensor is
approximately 400 ft. (120 m) ahead. Vehicle-to-vehicle distance will be
less than the selected distance during long downhill driving.
Fixed speed cruising:
If no vehicle is detected ahead.
Deceleration cruising:
If a slower moving vehicle is
detected ahead, your vehicle
decelerates automatically. Your
vehicle applies the brakes if
required, and “BRAKE” is dis -
played on the multi-information
displa
y. A warning buzzer will
sound if your vehicle gets too close
to the vehicle ahead due to insuffi -
cient braking.
Follow-up cruising:
If the vehicle ahead is traveling
slower than the preset speed, your
vehicle continually adjusts its speed
to maintain the preset following
distance.
Acceleration cruising:
When the vehicle ahead changes
lanes, your vehicle will gradually
accelerate up to the preset speed,
and resume fixed speed cruising.

■Setting vehicle speed
Settings can be made when the vehicle
is traveling above 28 mph (45 km/h).
■Unsuitable conditions
You cannot set the speed in the following conditions:
• When the selector lever is in a position other than D, 4, 5, or 6.
• When driving in adverse weather conditions.
■Automatic cruise control cancellation
In the following cases, the preset speed is can ce
lled. If the system is restored, cruise
control enters the ready mode.
• The slip indicator light blinks and a warning tone sounds.
• The anti-lock braking system activates.
• Foreign matter adheres to the sensor.
• The driving pattern selector sw it
ch is set to “SNOW” mode.
• The wipers are operated at high speed (radar), or either high or low speeds (l
aser). This includes high and low speed operation with the wiper lever in the
AUTO position.
• The vehicle’s speed falls below 25 mph (40 km/h). In this case, you must apply th
e brakes manually to slow the vehicle.
If the preset speed automatically cancels out for other than the above reasons, the
sy
stem may have malfunctioned. Do not operate the dynamic radar/laser cruise
control. You may continue driving, howe ver have your vehicle checked by your
Lexus dealer at the earliest opportunity.
