If a warning message of the Automatic High Beam is displayed...
It may indicate a malfunction in the system. Contact your Lexus dealer. ■
Temporary lowering sensor sensitivity
The sensitivity of the sensor can be temporarily lowered.
To lower the sensitivity, push and hold on the inside rear view mirror for 15 to
20 seconds, and release. The indicator light on the inside rear view mirror will flash
to indicate that the sens itivity has been lowered.
When the “ENGINE START STOP” switch is turned off, the sensitivity will be
returned to its normal level. ■
Customization
The Automatic High Beam can be turned off.

Cruise control can be set when ●
The shift lever is in “D” or range “4” or higher of “S” has been selected. ●
Range “4” or higher has been selected by using the paddle shift. (vehicles with
paddle shift switches) ●
Vehicle speed is above appr oximately 25 mph (40 km/h).■
Accelerating after setting the vehicle speed ●
The vehicle can be accelerated normally. After acceleration, the set speed
resumes. ●
Even without canceling the cruise cont rol, the set speed can be increased by
first accelerating the vehicle to the desired speed and then pushing the lever
down to set the new speed. ■
Automatic cruise control cancelation
Cruise control will stop maintaining the ve hicle speed in any of the following situa-
tions. ●
Actual vehicle speed falls more than approximately 10 mph (16 km/h) below the
preset vehicle speed.
At this time, the memorized set speed is not retained. ●
VSC is activated. ●
Actual vehicle speed is below approximately 25 mph (40 km/h). ●
The switching operation continues for 5 seconds or more after the center dif-
ferential lock switch has been operated.■
If the warning message for the cruise control is shown on the multi-information
display
Press the “ON-OFF” button once to deactivate the system, and then press the but-
ton again to reactivate the system.
If the cruise control speed cannot be set or if the cruise control cancels immediately
after being activated, there may be a malfun ction in the cruise control system. Have
the vehicle inspected by your Lexus dealer.

When driving
LX570_OM_OM60L21U_(U) Driving in vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode
This mode employs a radar sensor to detect the presence of vehicles up
to approximately 400 ft. (120 m) ah ead, determines the current vehicle-
to-vehicle following distance, and oper ates to maintain a suitable follow-
ing distance from the vehicle ahead. Note that vehicle-to-vehicle distance will close in when traveling on long
downhill slopes.
Example of constant speed cruising
When there are no vehicles ahead The vehicle travels at the speed set by the driver. The desired vehicle-to-vehi-
cle distance can also be set by operat ing the vehicle-to-vehicle distance con-
trol.
Example of deceleration cruising
When the vehicle ahead is driving slower than the set speed When a vehicle is detected running ahead of you, the system automatically
decelerates your vehicle. When a grea ter reduction in vehicle speed is nec-
essary, the system applies the brakes. A warning tone warns you when the
system cannot decelerate sufficiently to prevent your vehicle from closing in
on the vehicle ahead.

2402-4. Using other driving systems
LX570_OM_OM60L21U_(U) Example of follow-up cruising
When following a vehicle driving slower than the set speed The system continues follow-up cruising while adjusting for changes in the
speed of the vehicle ahead in order to maintain the vehicle-to-vehicle dis-
tance set by the driver.
Example of acceleration
When there are no longer any vehicl es ahead driving slower than the
set speed The system accelerates until the set speed is reached. The system then
returns to constant speed cruising.
Approach warning
When your vehicle is too close to a vehicle ahead, and sufficient auto-
matic deceleration via th e cruise control is not po ssible, the display will
flash and the buzzer will sound to al ert the driver. An example of this
would be if another driver cuts in fron t of you while you are following a
vehicle. Apply the brakes to ensure appropriate vehicle-to-vehicle dis-
tance.
■ Warnings may not occur when
In the following instances, there is a possibility that the warnings will not
occur:
● When the speed of the vehicle ahead matches or exceeds your
vehicle speed
● When the vehicle ahead is traveling at an extremely slow speed
● Immediately after the cruise control speed was set
● At the instant the accelerator is applied

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). ●

The switching operation continues for 5 seconds or more after the center dif-

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 and plas-
tic objects, cannot be detected by the obstruction sensor.)
Dynamic radar cruise control is canceled if an obstruction is detected.

Warning messages and buzzers for dynamic radar cruise control
Warning messages and buzzers are used to indicate a system malfunction or to
