2016 LEXUS LS460L warning

3684-5. Using the driving support systems
LS460/LS460L_GE (OM50G06E)
◆Pre-crash warning
When a high possibility of a fron-
tal collision is detected, the pre-
crash safety system warning light
flashes, a buzzer sounds and a
message is shown on the multi-
information display to urge the
driver to take evasive action.
Pre-crash warning can be disabled
using the pre-crash braking off
switch.
◆Pre-crash seat belts (front seat only)
If the pre-crash sensor detects that a collision is unavoidable, the pre-
crash safety system will retract the seat belt before the collision occurs.
The same will happen if the driver makes an emergency braking or
loses control of the vehicle. ( P. 48)
◆Pre-crash brake assist
When there is a high possibility of a frontal collision, the system applies
greater braking force in relation to how strongly the brake pedal is
depressed.
PCS (Pre-Crash Safety system)
: If equipped
When the sensor detects that a frontal collision is highly likely or even
unavoidable, safety systems such as the brakes and seat belts are auto-
matically engaged to help avoid a collision or to lessen impact as well as
vehicle damage.

◆Pre-crash braking (if equipped)
When there is a high possibility of a frontal collision, the system warns
the driver using a warning light, warning display and buzzer. If the sys-
tem determines that a collision is unavoidable, the brakes are automati-
cally applied to help avoid a collision or to reduce the collision speed.
When the vehicle is being stopped by pre-crash braking, the brake will
be engaged for a maximum of 2 seconds and then released automati-
cally. This pre-crash braking can be canceled by depressing the accel-
erator pedal or brake pedal.
Pre-crash braking can be disabled using the pre-crash braking off switch.
◆Suspension control
When there is a high possibility of a frontal collision, the operation of
suspension control helps prevent the front of the vehicle from dropping
when the brakes are applied suddenly.
◆Steering gear control (VGRS) (vehicles with camera sensors)
When the system determines that a collision is unavoidable, the steer-
ing gear ratio is changed to help improve the response to steering
input.
◆Driver monitor system (if equipped)
When the system determines that there is a possibility of a collision, and
either the driver is not facing forward or the driver’s eyes are closed,
pre-crash warnings are given in adva nce to warn the driver. If the sys-
tem determines that the conditions to operate pre-crash alert braking
have been met even when the possibility of a collision increases further,
pre-crash alert braking will operate.
Pre-crash alert braking can be disabled using the pre-crash braking off switch.

LS460/LS460L_GE (OM50G06E)
Pre-crash warning, pre-crash braking (if equipped) and pre-crash alert
braking (vehicles with driver monitor system) can be switched between
enabled and disabled by pressing the pre-crash braking off switch.
Enabled
Disabled
The pre-crash safety system warning
light comes on when the system is dis-
abled.
The radar sensor detects vehicles or
other obstacles on or near the road
ahead and determines whether a
collision is imminent based on the
position, speed, and heading of the
obstacles.

■Situations in which the pre-crash safety system does not function properly
The system may not function effectively in situations such as the following:
●On roads with sharp bends or uneven surfaces
●If a vehicle suddenly moves in front of your vehicle, such as at an intersection
●If a vehicle suddenly cuts in front of your vehicle, such as when overtaking
●In inclement weather such as heavy rain, fog, snow or sand storms
●If the vehicle is skidding when VSC is not operating
●When an extreme change in vehicle height occurs
●When only part of your vehicle’s front end collides with, or contacts, a vehicle or
object in a frontal collision
●When the radar sensor moves off position due to its surrounding area being sub-
jected to a strong impact
●If an obstacle in front of the vehicle is small
●When the system judges that the driver performed a collision avoidance operation
via the accelerator pedal, brake pedal, or steering wheel
■Automatic cancelation of the pre-crash safety system
When a malfunction occurs due to sensor contamination, etc. that results in the sen-
sors being unable to detect obstacles, the pre-crash safety system will be automati-
cally disabled. In this case, the system will not activate even if there is a collision
possibility.
■When there is a malfunction in the system
The pre-crash safety system warning light will flash and warning messages will be
displayed. ( P. 607, 614)
