◆Driver monitor system (if equipped)
When the system determines that there is a possibility of a collision with the
vehicle in front, and the driver is not
facing forward, PCS warnings are given in
advance to warn the driver. If the driver continues to not be facing forward,
and a high possibility of a collision with the vehicle in front is detected, PCS
informs the driver of high possibility of a collision with the vehicle in front by
performing slight braking to provide a physical warning (pre-collision alert
braking).

Pre-collision braking enabled
The “PCS” warning light turns on when
pre-collision braking is disabled.

■Automatic cancelation of pre-collision system
When a malfunction occurs due to sensor contaminations, etc. that results in the sensors
being unable to detect obstacles, the pre-collision system will be automatically disabled.
In this case, the system will not activat e even if there is a collision possibility.
■Obstacles not detected
The system cannot detect plastic obstacles such as pylons. There may also be occasions
when the system cannot detect pedestrians, animals, bicycles, motorcycles, trees, or
snowdrifts.
■Conditions that may trigger the system even if there is no possibility of a collision
●When there is an object by the roadside at the entrance to a curve
●When passing an oncoming vehicle on a curve
●When driving over a narrow iron bridge
●When there is a metal object on the road surface
●When driving on an uneven road surface (nose up, nose down)
●When passing an oncoming vehicle on a left turn
●When your vehicle rapidly closes on the vehicle in front
●When a grade separation/interchange, sign, billboard, or other structure appears to be
directly in the vehicle’s line of travel
●When a billboard or other metallic structure appears to be in the direct line of travel
due to driving on a hill
●When there are excessive changes in the vehicle height (when it tilts forwards or back-
wards)
●When the axis of the radar is out of adjustment
●When passing through certain toll gates
●When passing through an overpass
●When passing through a tunnel
When the system is activated in the situations described above, there is also a possibility
that the seat belts will retract quickly and the brakes will be applied with a force greater
than normal. When the seat belt is locked in the restricted position, stop the vehicle in a
safe place, release the seat belt and refasten it.
■When there is a malfunction in the system, or if the system is temporarily unusable
Warning lights and/or warning messages will turn on or flash. ( →P. 5 0 7 , 5 1 4 )

Maintenance and care
Your Lexus is equipped with a tire pressure warning system that uses tire pres-
sure warning valves and transmitters to detect low tire inflation pressure before
serious problems arise.
If the tire pressure drops below a predetermined level, the driver is warned by a
warning light. ( →P. 509)
◆Installing tire pressure warning valves and transmitters
When replacing tires or wheels, tire pressure warning valves and transmitters
must also be installed.
When new tire pressure warning valves and transmitters are installed, new ID
codes must be registered in the tire pressure warning computer and the tire
pressure warning system must be initiali zed. Have tire pressure warning valve
and transmitter ID codes registered by your Lexus dealer. ( →P. 4 6 5 )
◆Registering ID codes
The tire pressure warning valve and tr ansmitter is equipped with a unique ID
code. When replacing a tire pressure warning valve and transmitter, it is nec-
essary to register the ID code. Have the ID code registered by your Lexus
dealer.

■When to replace your vehicle’s tires
Tires should be replaced if:
●You have tire damage such as cuts, splits, cracks deep enough to expose the fabric, and
bulges indicating internal damage
●A tire goes flat repeatedly or cannot be properly repaired due to the size or location of
a cut or other damage
If you are not sure, consult with your Lexus dealer.
■Replacing tires and wheels
If the ID code of the tire pressure warning valve and transmitter is not registered, the tire
pressure warning system will not work properly. After driving for about 20 minutes, the
tire pressure warning light blinks for 1 minu te and stays on to indicate a system malfunc-
tion.
■Tire life
Any tire over 6 years old must be checked by a qualified technician even if it has seldom
or never been used or damage is not obvious.
■Routine tire inflation pressure checks
The tire pressure warning system does not replace routine tire inflation pressure checks.
Make sure to check tire inflation pressure as part of your routine of daily vehicle checks.
■Maximum load of tire
Check that the number given by dividing the maximum load by 1.10 of the replacement
tire is greater than 1 /2 of the Gross Axle Weight Ratings (GAWR) of either the front axle
or the rear axle, whichever is greater.
For the GAWR, see the Certification Label. For
the maximum load of the tire, see the load limit
at maximum cold tire inflation pressure men-
tioned on the sidewall of the tire. ( →P. 5 6 7 )
