CAUTION
■Limitations of the pre-crash safety system
The driver is solely responsible for safe driving. Always drive safely, taking care to
observe your surroundings.
Do not use the pre-crash safety system instead of normal braking operations under
any circumstances. This system will not prevent collisions or lessen damage or inju-
ries in all cases. Do not overly rely on this system. Failure to do so may cause an
accident, resulting in death or serious injury.
This system has been designed to help avoid and reduce the impact of collisions.
However, the system operates differently depending on the situation ( P. 372,
374). As a result, the same level of performance may not be expected in all cases.
Also, the pre-crash safety brakes may not operate if the driver is depressing the
brake pedal or turning the steering wheel, as the system will determine such condi-
tions as collision avoidance operations.
■Handling the radar sensor
Observe the following to ensure the pre-crash safety system can function effec-
tively. Otherwise, the system may not function correctly and could result in an acci-
dent.
●Keep the sensor and grille cover clean at all times.
Clean the sensor and grille cover with a soft cloth so you do not mark or damage
them.
●Do not subject the sensor or surrounding area to a strong impact.
If the sensor moves even slightly off position, the system may 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 radar sensor needs to be replaced, contact your Lexus dealer.

CAUTION
■Handling the camera sensors (if equipped)
Observe the following to ensure that the PCS functions effectively:
●Keep the windshield clean at all times.
PCS effectiveness may be reduced due to the presence of raindrops, condensa-
tion, ice or snow on the windshield.
●Do not subject the camera sensor to a st rong impact or force, and do not disas-
semble the camera sensor.
●Do not change the installation position of the camera sensor, or remove and rein-
stall it. The direction of the camera sensor is precisely adjusted.
●When the windshield fogs up, use the wi ndshield defogger to dry the windshield.
During cold weather, using the heater with air blowing to the feet may allow the
upper part of the windshield to fog up, having a negative effect on the images.
●Do not place anything on the dashboard.
Images reflected on the windshield may reduce the effectiveness of the camera
sensor.
●Do not scratch the camera lens, or let it get dirty.
●Do not attach a sticker or other items to the windshield near the camera sensor.
■Headlights (vehicles with camera sensors)
●Observe the following to ensure proper near-infrared ray projection:
• Keep the headlights clean at all times.
• The detection performance may deteriorate if the high beams are misaligned
or inoperative.
●The near-infrared ray transmitters project strong energy that is not visible.
Although the transmitters normally turn off when the vehicle is stopped, never
look into the headlights for your safety.

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.

CAUTION
■Cautions regarding the assist contents of the system
By means of alarms and brake control, the pre-crash safety system is intended to
assist the driver in avoiding collisions through the process of LOOK-JUDGE-ACT.
There are limits to the degree of assistance the system can provide, so please keep
in mind the following important points.
●Assisting the driver in watching the road
The pre-crash safety system is only able to detect obstacles directly in front of the
vehicle, and only within a limited range. It is not a mechanism that allows careless
or inattentive driving, and it is not a system that can assist the driver in low-visibil-
ity conditions. It is still necessary for the driver to pay close attention to the vehi-
cle’s surroundings.
●Assisting the driver in making correct judgment
When attempting to estimate the likelihood of a collision, the only data available
to the pre-crash safety system is that from obstacles it has detected directly in
front of the vehicle. Therefore, it is absolutely necessary for the driver to remain
vigilant and to determine whether or not there is a possibility of collision in any
given situation.
●Assisting the driver in taking action
The pre-crash safety system’s braking assist feature is designed to help reduce
the severity of a collision, and so only acts when the system has judged that a col-
lision is unavoidable. This system is not capable of automatically avoiding a colli-
sion or bringing the vehi cle to a stop safely without appropriate operations
performed by the driver. For this reason, when encountering a dangerous situa-
tion the driver must take direct and immediate action in order to ensure the safety
of all involved.
NOTICE
■Precautions for cleaning the driver monitor sensor (vehicles with driver monitor
system)
●Gently wipe the sensor with a soft cloth to prevent damage.
●Wipe any excess dirt with a cloth dampened with neutral detergent, all liquids
having been wringed out of the cloth. After that, wipe again with a dry cloth.
●Do not use benzene, thinner, glass cleaners, wax, etc.
