■Automatic cancelation of pre-collision system
When a malfunction occurs due to sensor cont
aminations, etc. that results in the sensors
being unable to detect obstacles, the pre-collision syst em will be automatically disabled.
In this case, the system will not activate even if there is a collision possibility.
■Obstacles not detected
The system cannot detect plastic obstacles su ch 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
In any of the following situations where the fr ontal area of the radar sensor is interrupted,
the radar sensor may detect possibility of a fr ontal collision and the system may be acti-
vated.
●When passing by an oncoming vehicle in a curve or a turn to the right or the left
●When rapidly approaching an obstacle ahead (e.g. preceding vehicle, toll gate barrier,
etc.)
●When there is a structural ob ject (billboard, low ceiling, fluorescent light, etc.) above
the uphill road ahead
●When driving on a narrow road or through under a low overhead structure (bridge,
tunnel, fly-under, etc.)
●When driving on an uneven road surface
●When there is a metal object, bump, or protrusion on the road surface
●When vehicle’s front part is raised or lowered depending on loading conditions
●When the direction of radar sensor is misa ligned by strong impact applied on an area
around the radar sensor, etc.
●When there is an obstacle (guard rail, etc.) by the roadside at the entrance to a curve
●When the front of your vehicle is pointing upwards (caused by towing a trailer, during
emergency towing or putting a heavy load in the luggage compartment etc.)
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 may 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 will turn on or flash, an d warning messages will be displayed.

CAUTION
■When the sensor may not be correctly detecting the vehicle ahead
Apply the brakes as necessary in any of the following situations.
●When water or snow thrown up by the surrounding vehicles hinders the functioning
of the sensor
●When your vehicle is pointing upwards (caused by a heavy load in the luggage com-
partment etc.)
●Vehicles that cut in suddenly
●Vehicles with small rear ends (trailers with no load on board etc.)
●Motorcycles traveling in the same lane
■Handling the radar sensor
Observe the following to ensure the pre-collision system can function effectively:
●Keep the sensor and front grille cover clean at all times.
Clean the sensor and front grille cover with a soft cloth so you do not mark or dam-
age them.
●Do not subject the sensor or surrounding area to a strong impact.
If the sensor moves even slightly off posi tion, the system may become inaccurate or
malfunction. If the sensor or surrounding area is subject to a strong impact, always
have the area inspected and adjusted by your Lexus dealer.
●Do not disassemble the sensor.
●Do not attach accessories or stickers to the sensor, grille cover or surrounding area.
●Do not modify or paint the sensor and grille cover.
●If the sensor needs to be replaced, contact your Lexus dealer.
