CAUTION
■Front passenger occupant classification system precautions
●If an adult sits in the front passenger seat, the “AIR BAG ON” indicator light is illu-
iminated. If the “AIR BAG OFF” indicator is illuminated, ask the passenger to sit
up straight, well back in the seat, feet on the floor, and with the seat belt worn cor-
rectly. If the “AIR BAG OFF” indicator still remain illuminated, either ask the pas-
senger to move to the rear seat, or if that is not possible, move the front passenger
seat fully rearward.
●When it is unavoidable to install a forward-facing child restraint system on the
front passenger seat, install the child restraint system on the front passenger seat
in the proper order. (→P. 1 5 2 )
●Do not modify or remove the front seat.
●Do not kick the front passenger seat or subject it to severe impact. Otherwise,
the SRS warning light may come on to indicate a malfunction in the detection sys-
tem. In this case, contact your Lexus dealer immediately.
●Child restraint systems installed on the second seat should not contact the front
seatbacks.
●Do not use a seat accessory, such as a cushion and seat cover, that covers the
seat cushion surface.
●Do not modify or replace the upholstery of the front seat.

CAUTION
■If a safety system warning light does not come on
Should a safety system light such as the ABS/Multi Terrain ABS and SRS warning
light not come on when you start the engine, this could mean that these systems are
not available to help protect you in an accident, which could result in death or seri-
ous injury. Have the vehicle inspected by your Lexus dealer immediately if this
occurs.

■Automatic cancelation of constant speed control
The cruise control will stop maintaining the vehicle speed in the following situations:
●Actual vehicle speed is more than approximately 10 mph (16 km/h) below the
set vehicle speed.
At this time, the memorized set speed is not retained.
●Actual vehicle speed falls below approximately 25 mph (40 km/h).
●VSC is activated.
●The center differential lock/unlock is not completed within 5 seconds while the
dynamic radar cruise control system is on.
■Vehicle-to-vehicle distance settings
Select a distance from the table below. Note that the distances shown correspond
to a vehicle speed of 50 mph (80 km/h). Vehicle-to-vehicle distance increases/
decreases in accordance with vehicle speed.
■Radar sensor and grille cover
Always keep the sensor and grille cover clean to ensure that the vehicle-to-vehicle
distance control operates properly. (Some obstructions, such as snow, ice or plastic
objects, cannot be detected by the obstruction sensor.)
Dynamic radar cruise control is canceled if an obstruction is detected.
■Warning lights and messages for dynamic radar cruise control
Warning lights and messages are used to indicate a system malfunction or to inform
the driver of the need for caution while driving. (→P. 6 9 8 )

2-4. Using other driving systems
GX460_CANADA (OM60F29U)
■When the vehicle has been parked in the sun
The LDA system may not be available for a while after driving has started. In such
cases, turn the LDA system off and turn it on again after normal temperature
returns. When the temperature in the cabin decreases and the temperature around
the camera sensor becomes suitable for its operation, the functions will begin to
operate.
■Warning lights and messages for LDA
Warning lights and messages are used to indicate a system malfunction or to inform
the driver of the need for caution while driving. (→P. 6 9 8 )
CAUTION
■Before using the LDA system
This system provides information to the dr iver in accordance with the road geome-
try and the driving conditions. Be aware of your surroundings at all times, correct
the driving path while driving appropriately and be responsible for your own safety.
This system operates by using the camera to identify lane markers when the LDA
switch is on and the vehicle is being driven at the system operating speed.
Operation may be temporarily suspended if the camera cannot recognize the lane
markers or if the system cannot operate due to the road environment or driving
conditions. Also, since an alarm may sound unnecessarily if the lane markers cannot
be correctly identified, make sure to drive responsibly even while the system is
operating.
If a malfunction occurs in the system, the driver will be alerted by a buzzer and a dis-
play, and LDA operation will be temporarily suspended. However, this does not
present a problem to normal driving.
If the alert is displayed even after restarting the engine, have your vehicle inspected
by your Lexus dealer.
