1161-2. Theft deterrent system
LS460/LS460L_GE (OM50G06E)
■Canceling and automatic re-enabling of the intrusion sensor and tilt sensor
●The alarm will still be set even when the intrusion sensor and tilt sensor are can-
celed.
●After the intrusion sensor and tilt sensor are canceled, pressing the engine switch
or unlocking the doors using the entry function or wireless remote control will re-
enable the intrusion sensor and tilt sensor.
●The intrusion sensor and tilt sensor will automatically be re-enabled when the
alarm system is deactivated.
■Intrusion sensor detection considerations
The sensor may trigger the alarm in the following situations:
●Places with extreme vibrations or noises, or situations in which the vehicle is subject
to repeated impacts or vibrations:
• When parked in a parking garage
• When the vehicle is transported by a ferry, trailer, train, etc.
• When ice adhering to the vehicle is removed
• When the vehicle is in an automatic or high-pressure car wash
• When in a hail or lightning storm
●A window or the moon roof is open.
In this case, the sensor may detect the fol-
lowing:
• Wind or the movement of objects such as
leaves and insects inside the vehicle
• Ultrasonic waves emitted from devices
such as the intrusion sensors of other
vehicles
• The movement of people outside the
vehicle
●Unstable items, such as dangling accesso-
ries or clothes hanging on the coat hooks,
are in the vehicle.

For safety and security
LS460/LS460L_GE (OM50G06E)
■Tilt sensor detection considerations
The sensor may trigger the alarm in the following situations:
●The vehicle is transported by a ferry, trailer, train, etc.
●The vehicle is parked in a parking garage.
●The vehicle is inside a car wash that moves the vehicle.
●Any of the tires loses air pressure.
●The vehicle is jacked up.
●An earthquake occurs or the road caves in.
NOTICE
■To ensure the intrusion sensor functions correctly
●Installing accessories other than genuine Lexus parts or leaving objects between
the driver’s seat and front passenger’s seat may reduce the detection perfor-
mance.
●To ensure that the sensors operate prop-
erly, do not touch or cover them.
●Do not spray air fresheners or other prod-
ucts directly into the sensor holes.

Trailer towing
Lexus does not recommend towing a trailer with your vehicle. Lexus
also does not recommend the installati on of a tow hitch or the use of a
tow hitch carrier for a wheelchair, sc ooter, bicycle, etc. Your Lexus is
not designed for trailer towing or for the use of tow hitch mounted car-
riers.
Towing capacity: 0 kg (0 lb.)

●In the situations below, the system may not be able to correctly detect the sur-
rounding brightness levels, and may flash or expose oncoming or preceding vehi-
cles to the high beam or may continue using the low beam. Therefore, in these
situations you should consider turning the high beams on or off manually rather
than relying on the Adaptive High-beam System.
• In bad weather (rain, snow, fog, sandstorms etc.)
• The windshield is obscured by fog, mist, ice, dirt etc.
• The windshield is cracked or damaged.
• The inside rear view mirror or camera sensor is deformed or dirty.
• The camera sensor temperature is extremely high.
• Surrounding brightness levels are equal to those of headlights, tail lights or fog
lights.
• Vehicles ahead have headlights that are either switched off, dirty, are changing
color, or have are not aimed properly.
• When driving through an area of intermittently changing brightness and dark-
ness.
• When frequently and repeatedly driving ascending/descending roads, or roads
with rough, bumpy or uneven surfaces (such as stone-paved roads, gravel tracks
etc.).
• When frequently and repeatedly taking curves or driving on a winding road.
• There is a highly reflective object ahead of the vehicle, such as a sign or a mirror.
• The back of a vehicle ahead is highly reflective, such as a container on a truck.
• The vehicle’s headlights are damaged or dirty.
• The vehicle is listing or tilting, due to a flat tire, a trailer being towed etc.
■Turning the high beam on during Adapt ive High-beam System (except vehicles
with both LED headlights and near-infrared ray transmitters)
When the vehicle is traveling at a high speed, the system will turn on the inner high
beam together with the outer high beam.
■Customization
The variable shade beam can be turned off. (Customizable features P. 667)
3264-5. Using the driving support systems
LS460/LS460L_GE (OM50G06E)
CAUTION
■When the sensor may not be correctly detecting the vehicle ahead
Apply the brakes as necessary when any of the following types of vehicles are in
front of you.
As the sensor may not be able to correctly detect these types of vehicles, the
approach warning ( P. 319) will not be activated, and a fatal or serious accident
may result.
●Vehicles that cut in suddenly
●Vehicles traveling at low speeds
●Vehicles that are not moving
●Vehicles with small rear ends (trailers with no load on board etc.)
●Motorcycles traveling in the same lane
■Conditions under which the vehicle-to-veh icle distance control may not function
correctly
Apply the brakes as necessary in the following conditions as the radar sensor may
not be able to correctly detect vehicles ahead, and a fatal or serious accident may
result:
●When water or snow thrown up by the surrounding vehicles hinders the function-
ing of the sensor
●When your vehicle is pointing upwards (caused by a heavy load in the trunk etc.)
●When the road curves or when the lanes are narrow
●When steering wheel operation or your position in the lane is unstable
●When the vehicle ahead of you decelerates suddenly
