■SRS airbag precautions
●If breathing becomes difficult after the SRS airbags have deployed, open a door or
window to allow fresh air in, or leave the vehicle if it is safe to do so. Wash off any resi-
due as soon as possible to prevent skin irritation.
●If the areas where the SRS airbags are stored, such as the steering wheel pad and
front and rear pillar garnishes, are damaged or cracked, have them replaced by your
Lexus dealer.
●Do not place anything, such as a cushion, on the front passenger’s seat. Doing so will
disperse the passenger’s weight, which prevents the sensor from detecting the pas-
senger’s weight properly. As a result, th e SRS front airbags for the front passenger
may not deploy in the event of a collision.
■Modification and disposal of SRS airbag system components
Do not dispose of your vehicle or perform any of the following modifications without
consulting your Lexus dealer. The SRS airb ags may malfunction or deploy (inflate)
accidentally, causing de ath or serious injury.
●Installation, removal, disassembl y and repair of the SRS airbags
●Repairs, modifications, removal or replac ement of the steering wheel, instrument
panel, dashboard, seats or seat upholstery, fr ont, side and rear pillars or roof side rails
●Repairs or modifications of the front fender, front bumper, or side of the occupant
compartment
●Installation of a grille guar d (bull bars, kangaroo bar, etc.), snow plows, winches or
roof luggage carrier
●Modifications to the vehicle’s suspension system
●Installation of electronic devices such as mobile two-way radios and CD players
●Modifications to your vehicle for a person with a physical disability

■Before using the LDA
Do not over rely on the LDA. The LDA does not drive the vehicle automatically, nor
does it reduce the amount of care you need to take. As such, the driver must always
assume full responsibility for understandin g his/her surroundings, for operating the
steering wheel to correct the driving line, and for driving safely. Also, take occasional
rests from fatigue due to driving over long periods of time, etc.
Inappropriate or negligent driving co uld lead to an unexpected accident.
■Do not drive without holding the steering wheel
While the steering control function is operating, when the system judges that the vehi-
cle is being driven without holding the steering wheel, a warning message is displayed.
( P. 2 6 2 )
Inappropriate steering wheel operations an d/or negligent driving could lead to an
unexpected accident. When driving, firmly ho ld the steering wheel and keep safe driv-
ing in mind.
■To avoid operating the LDA by mistake
Switch the LDA off using the LDA switch when not in use. ( P. 2 6 3 )
■Situations unsuitable for LDA
Do not use the LDA in any of the following situations.
Otherwise, the system may not function correctly and could result in an accident.
●When driving with tire chains, a spare tire, or similar equipment
●When a tire with a different structure, maker, brand, or tread pattern is used.
●When remain tread of the tire or the air pressure is insufficient
●When restructuring the suspension
●When there are objects or structures along the roadside that might be misinterpreted
as lane markers (such as guardrails, a curb, reflector posts, etc.)
●When driving on snowy roads
●When pavement lane markers are difficult to see due to rain, snow, fog, sand, dust,
etc.
●When there are visible lines on the pavement from road repairs, or if the remains of
old lane markers are still visible on the road
●When driving on a road with lane closures due to maintenance, or when driving in a
temporary lane
●When driving on road surfaces that are slippery from rain, snow, etc.
●When driving in traffic lanes other than highways and freeway
●When driving through construction areas

●If the windshield area in front of the lane recognition camera is fogged up, use the
windshield defogger to remove the fog from that area. ( P. 4 2 5 )
When it is cold, using the he ater with air blowing to the feet may allow the upper part
of the windshield to fog up. This will have a negative effect on the images.
●Do not scratch the camera lens, or let it get dirty.
When cleaning the inside of the windshield , be careful not to get any glass cleaner,
etc., on the lens. Also, do not touch the lens.
For lens repair, contact your Lexus dealer.

■The intuitive parking assist can be operated when
●Front corner sensors:
• The engine switch is in IGNITION ON mode.
• The shift lever is in other than P.
• The vehicle speed is less than about 6 mph (10 km/h).(At any speed when the shift lever is in R)
●Front center sensors:
• The engine switch is in IGNITION ON mode.
• The shift lever is in other than P or R.
• The vehicle speed is less than about 6 mph (10 km/h).
●Rear corner and rear center sensors:
• The engine switch is in IGNITION ON mode.
• The shift lever is in R.
■Intuitive parking assist display
When an obstacle is detected while the Lexus parking assist monitor is in use, the warn-
ing indicator will appear in the upper corner of the screen even if the display setting has
been set to off.
■Sensor detectio n information
●The sensor’s detection areas are limited to the areas around the vehicle’s bumper.
●Certain vehicle conditions and the surround ing environment may affect the ability of a
sensor to correctly detect an obstacle. Particular instances where this may occur are
listed below.
• There is dirt, snow or ice on the sensor . (Wiping the sensors will resolve this prob-
lem.)
• The sensor is frozen. (Thawing th e area will resolve this problem.)
In especially cold weather, if a sensor is frozen the screen may show an abnormal
display, or obstacles may not be detected.
• The sensor is covered in any way.
• The vehicle is leaning co nsiderably to one side.
• On an extremely bumpy road, on an incline, on gravel, or on grass.
• The vicinity of the vehicle is noisy due to vehicle horns, motorcycle engines, air brakes of large vehicles, or other loud noises producing ultrasonic waves.
• There is another vehicle equipped with parking assist sensors in the vicinity.
• The sensor is coated with a sheet of spray or heavy rain.
• The vehicle is equipped with a fender pole or wireless antenna.
• Towing eyelets are installed.
• The bumper or sensor receives a strong impact.
• The vehicle is approaching a tall or curved curb.
• In harsh sunlight or intense cold weather.
• The area directly under the bumpers is not detected.
• If obstacles draw too close to the sensor.
• A non-genuine Lexus suspension (low ered suspension etc.) is installed.
• People may not be detected if they are wearing certain types of clothing.
In addition to the examples above, there are instances in which, because of their shape,
signs and other objects may be judged by a sensor to be closer than they are.

AVERTISSEMENT
■Précautions avec les coussins gonflables SRS
●Si vous avez des difficultés à respirer après le déploiement des coussins gonflables
SRS, ouvrez une porte ou une vitre pour faire entrer de l’air frais, ou bien descendez
du véhicule si cela ne présente pas de danger. Retirez tout résidu dès que possible
afin d’éviter d’éventuelles irritations de la peau.
●Si les parties renfermant les coussins gonfla bles SRS, telles que la garniture du moyeu
de volant et les garnitures de montants avant et arrière, apparaissent abîmées ou
craquelées, faites-les remplacer par votre concessionnaire Lexus.
●Ne rien poser sur le siège du passager avant, comme un coussin par exemple. Cela a
pour conséquence de répartir le poids du passager sur toute la surface du siège, ce
qui empêche le capteur de détecter normalement le poids du passager. En
conséquence, les coussins gonflables SR S frontaux du passager avant peuvent ne
pas se déployer en cas de collision.
■Modification et élimination en fin de vie des éléments du système de coussins
gonflables SRS
Consultez impérativement votre concessionnaire Lexus si vous avez besoin
d’intervenir sur votre véhicule ou de procéd er à l’une des modifications suivantes. Les
coussins gonflables SRS peuvent ne pas fonc tionner correctement ou se déployer (se
gonfler) accidentellement, provoquant ainsi des blessures graves, voire mortelles.
●Installation, dépose, démontage et réparations des coussins gonflables SRS
●Réparations, modifications, démontage ou remplacement du volant, du tableau de
bord, de la planche de bord, des sièges ou de leur garnissage, des montants avant,
latéraux et arrière ou des rails latéraux de toit
●Réparation ou modification des ailes avant, du bouclier avant, ou des flancs de
l’habitacle
●Installation d’un équipement de protecti on sur la calandre (pare-buffle, pare-
kangourou, etc.), d’un chasse-neige, de treuils ou d’une galerie de toit
●Modification des suspensions du véhicule
●Installation d’appareils électroniques, tels qu’un émetteur/récepteur radio ou lecteur
de CD
●Aménagements du véhicule visant à permettre sa conduite par une personne
atteinte d’un handicap physique
