LS460/LS460L_GE (OM50G06E)
AFS (Adaptive Front-lighting System) secures excellent visibility at inter-
sections and on curves by automatically adjusting the direction of the light
axis of the headlights according to vehicle speed and the degree of the
tire’s angle as controlled by steering input.
AFS operates at speeds of 10 km/h (6 mph) or higher.
■Daytime running light system
To make your vehicle more visible to othe r drivers during daytime driving, the day-
time running lights turn on automatically whenever the engine is started and the
parking brake is released with the headlight switch off or in the position. (Illumi-
nate brighter than the front position ligh ts.) Daytime running lights are not designed
for use at night.
■Headlight control sensor
AFS (Adaptive Front-lighting System)
The sensor may not function properly if an
object is placed on the sensor, or anything
that blocks the sensor is affixed to the wind-
shield.
Doing so interferes with the sensor detecting
the level of ambient light and may cause the
automatic headlight system to malfunction.

3024-3. Operating the lights and wipers
LS460/LS460L_GE (OM50G06E)
■The windshield wiper and washer can be operated when
The engine switch is in IGNITION ON mode.
■Dripping prevention wiper sweep
After washing and the wiper has operated several times, the wipers operate one
more time after a short delay to prevent dripping.
However, the last sweep will not happen if the vehicle is traveling above 170 km/h
(106 mph).
■Effects of vehicle speed on wiper operation
Even when the wipers are not in “AUTO” mode, vehicle speed affects the time until
the drip prevention wiper sweep occurs.
With low speed windshield wiper operation selected, wiper operation will be
switched from low speed to intermittent wiper operation only when the vehicle is sta-
tionary.
(However, when the sensor sensitivity is adjusted to the highest level, the mode can-
not be switched.)
■Raindrop sensor
●If the wiper is turned to “AUTO” mode while the engine switch is in IGNITION ON
mode, the wipers will operate once to show that “AUTO” mode is activated.
●If the temperature of the raindrop sensor is 90 C (194F) or higher, or -15C
(5 F) or lower, automatic operation may not occur. In this case, operate the wip-
ers in any mode other than “AUTO” mode.
■If no windshield washer fluid sprays
Check that the washer nozzles are not blocked if there is washer fluid in the wind-
shield washer fluid reservoir.
■Outside rear view mirror defogger activation linked to windshield wiper operation
The outside rear view mirror defoggers automatically turn on when you operate the
windshield wipers.
The outside rear view mirror defoggers automatically turn off approximately 15 min-
utes after the wipers stop.
For details about the outside rear view mirror defoggers: P. 445
●The raindrop sensor judges the amount of
raindrops.
An optical sensor is adopted. It may not
operate properly when sunlight from the
rising or setting of the sun intermittently
strikes the windshield, or if bugs etc. are
present on the windshield.

CAUTION
■Caution regarding the use of windshield wipers in “AUTO” mode
The windshield wipers may operate unexpectedly if the sensor is touched or the
windshield is subject to vibration in “AUTO” mode. Take care that your fingers or
anything else do not become caught in the windshield wipers.
■Caution regarding the use of washer fluid
When it is cold, do not use the washer fluid until the windshield becomes warm.
The fluid may freeze on the windshield and cause low visibility. This may lead to an
accident, resulting in death or serious injury.
NOTICE
■When the windshield is dry
Do not use the wipers, as they may damage the windshield.
■When there is no washer fluid spray from the nozzle
Damage to the washer fluid pump may be caused if the lever is pulled toward you
and held continually.
■When a nozzle becomes blocked
In this case, contact your Lexus dealer.
Do not try to clear it with a pin or other object. The nozzle will be damaged.

◆ABS (Anti-lock Brake System)
Helps to prevent wheel lock when the brakes are applied suddenly, or if
the brakes are applied while driv ing on a slippery road surface
◆Brake assist
Generates an increased level of braking force after the brake pedal is
depressed when the system detects a panic stop situation
◆VSC (Vehicle Stability Control)
Helps the driver to control skidding when swerving suddenly or turning
on slippery road surfaces
◆TRC (Traction Control)
Helps to maintain drive power and prevent the drive wheels from spin-
ning when starting the vehicle or accelerating on slippery roads
◆Hill-start assist control
Helps to prevent the vehicle from rolling backward when starting on an
incline or slippery slope
Driving assist systems
To help enhance driving safety and performance, the following systems
operate automatically in response to various driving situations. Be
aware, however, that these system s are supplementary and should not
be relied upon too heavily when operating the vehicle.

■Conditions that may trigger the system even if there is no danger of a collision
In any of the following situations where the frontal area of the radar sensor is inter-
rupted, the radar sensor may detect possibility of a frontal collision and the system
may be activated.
●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 bar-
rier, etc.)
●When there is a structural object (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 front part is raised or lowered depending on loading conditions
●When the direction of radar sensor is misaligned 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 putting a heavy load
in the trunk etc.)
●When driving through an area filled with steam or smoke
When the system is activated in the situatio ns described above, there is also a possi-
bility 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 retracted position, stop the
vehicle in a safe place, release the seat belt and refasten it.
■Obstacles not detected
The radar sensor cannot detect plastic obstacles such as traffic cones. There may
also be occasions when the sensor cannot detect pedestrians, animals, bicycles,
motorcycles, trees, or snowdrifts.
■A camera sensor cannot detect obstacles in the following situations:
●A camera sensor is directly receiving intense light, such as sunlight.
●Visibility is poor because of bad weather or other reasons.
●The sensor temperature is extremely high.
●The headlights are not turned on in darkness such as at night or in a tunnel.

CAUTION
■Determining the direction the driver is facing and whether the driver’s eyes are
open or closed (vehicles with driver monitor system)
The direction the driver is facing and whether the driver’s eyes are open or closed
may not be determined correctly if the following conditions exist:
●There is an object between the driver monitor sensor and the driver’s face, such
as when the sensor is blocked.
●A part of the driver’s face is covered.
●The sensor or the driver’s face is exposed to intense light such as sunlight.
●The driving posture is improper.
●The vehicle is parked.
■Handling the driver monitor sensor (vehicles with driver monitor system)
Observe the following to ensure the driver monitor sensor can function effectively.
Failure to do so may result in a malfunction or may prevent the system from cor-
rectly determining the direction the driver is facing and whether the driver’s eyes
are open or closed, resulting in an unexpected accident.
●Do not disassemble, damage, lift or pull on the sensor.
●Do not touch the sensor while driving.
●Do not wet or spill water on the sensor.
●Do not drop anything on or allow anything to hit against the sensor. Do not sub-
ject the sensor to an impact.
●Make sure that there are no scratches, dirt or stickers on the side of the sensor
that faces the driver.
●Do not place any objects in front of the side of the sensor that faces the driver or
cover the sensor.

NOTICE
■The near-infrared camera
●Make sure the windshield is kept clean.
●System performance may deteriorate if rain water, condensation or ice adheres
to the camera. If you notice the inner lens of the camera is dirty, the garnish will
have to be replaced. Consult your Lexus dealer.
●Do not subject the camera to strong impacts, or disassemble the camera.
●As the alignment of the camera has been very finely adjusted, do not change or
remove the mounting.
●If the windshield fogs up, defog the windshield using the front defroster.
●Do not dirty or scratch the camera lens.
●Night view may not function properly if an object is placed on the sensor, or any-
thing that blocks the sensor is affixed to the windshield.
Follow these precautions to avoid damage to
or incorrect operation of the Lexus night
view.

4004-6. Driving tips
LS460/LS460L_GE (OM50G06E)
Perform the following according to the driving conditions:
●Do not try to forcibly open a window or move a wiper that is frozen.
Pour warm water over the frozen area to melt the ice. Wipe away the
water immediately to prevent it from freezing.
●To ensure proper operation of the climate control system fan, remove
any snow that has accumulated on the air inlet vents in front of the wind-
shield.
●Check for and remove any excess ice or snow that may have accumu-
lated on the exterior lights, vehicle’s roof, chassis, around the tires or on
the brakes.
●Remove any snow or mud from the bottom of your shoes before getting
in the vehicle.
Accelerate the vehicle slowly, keep a safe distance between you and the
vehicle ahead, and drive at a reduced speed suitable to road conditions.
●Park the vehicle and move the shift lever to P without setting the park-
ing brake. The parking brake may free ze up, preventing it from being
released. If the vehicle is parked without setting the parking brake,
make sure to block the wheels.
Failure to do so may be dangerous because it may cause the vehicle to
move unexpectedly, possibly leading to an accident.
●If the vehicle is parked without setting the parking brake, confirm that
the shift lever cannot be moved out of P*.
*: The shift lever will be locked if it is attempted to be shifted from P to any other
position without depressing the brake pedal. If the shift lever can be shifted
from P, there may be a problem with the shift lock system. Have the vehicle
inspected by your Lexus dealer immediately.
