When driving on roads that are branching or merging
When driving on a road surface that is wet due to rain, previous rainfall,
standing water, etc.
When the vehicle experiences strong up-and-down motion such as when
driving on an extremely rough road or on a seam in the pavement
When headlight brightness at nighttime is reduced due to dirt on the lenses,
or when the headlights are misaligned
When driving with a strong crosswind
When driving on winding roads or roads that are uneven
When driving on rough or unpaved roads
When changing the tires
Depending on the tires used, sufficient performance may not be maintain-
able.
Warning messages for LKA
Warning messages are used to indicate a system malfunction or to inform the
driver of the need for caution while driving. (P. 842, 854)
CAUTION
Before using the LKA system
Do not rely solely on the LKA system. The LKA system does not drive the
vehicle automatically, nor does it reduce the amount of care you need to
take. As such, the driver must always assume full responsibility for under-
standing his/her surroundings, for operating the steering wheel to correct
the driving line, and for driving safely.
Inappropriate or negligent driving could lead to an accident.
To avoid operating the LKA by mistake
Switch the LKA off using the “LKA” switch when not in use.

GS450h_300h_OM_OM30D53E_(EE)
If a warning light turns on or a warning buzzer
sounds
The following warning indicates a possible problem in the brake
system. Immediately stop the vehicle in a safe place and contact
any authorized Lexus dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified
and equipped professional.
Calmly perform the following actions if any of the warning lights
comes on or flashes. If a light comes on or flashes, but then goes
off, this does not necessarily indicate a malfunction in the system.
However, if this continues to occur, have the vehicle inspected by
any authorized Lexus dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified
and equipped professional.
Stop the vehicle immediately. Continuing to drive the vehicle
may be dangerous.

CAUTION
If both the ABS and the brake system warning lights remain on
Stop your vehicle in a safe place immediately and contact any authorized
Lexus dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped profes-
sional. The vehicle will become extremely unstable during braking, and the
ABS system may fail, which could cause an accident resulting in death or
serious injury.
When the electric power steering system warning light comes on
The steering wheel may become extremely heavy.
If the steering wheel becomes heavier than usual when operating, hold
firmly and operate using more force than usual.
If the tire pressure warning light comes on
Be sure to observe the following precautions. Failure to do so could cause a
loss of vehicle control and result in death or serious injury.
Stop your vehicle in a safe place as soon as possible. Adjust the tire infla-
tion pressure immediately.
If the tire pressure warning light comes on even after tire inflation pres-
sure adjustment, it is probable that you have a flat tire. Check the tires. If a
tire is flat, change it with the spare tire and have the flat tire repaired by
the nearest any authorized Lexus dealer or repairer, or another duly quali-
fied and equipped professional.
Avoid abrupt maneuvering and braking. If the vehicle tires deteriorate,
you could lose control of the steering wheel or the brakes.
If a blowout or sudden air leakage should occur
The tire pressure warning system may not activate immediately.
NOTICE
Precaution when installing a different tire
When differently constructed tires or tires of different makers, models or
tread patterns are installed, the tire pressure warning system may not oper-
ate properly.
