■Operational conditions
Availability of the pedestrian detection function and pre-collision braking function
depend on the region in which the vehicle was sold.
Read the following for details:
Region A
(The pedestrian detection function and pre-collision braking function are available)
The pre-collision system is enabled and the sy stem determines that the possibility of a
frontal collision with a vehicle or pedestrian is high.
Each function is operationa l at the following speeds:
●Pre-collision warning:
• Vehicle speed is approximately 7 mph (10 km/h) or more. (For detecting a pedes-
trian, vehicle speed is between approximately 7 and 50 mph [10 and 80 km/h].)
• The relative speed between your vehicle and the vehicle or pedestrian ahead is approximately 7 mph (10 km/h) or more.
●Pre-collision brake assist:
• Vehicle speed is approximately 19 mph (3 0 km/h) or more. (For detecting a pedes-
trian, vehicle speed is between approxim ately 19 and 50 mph [30 and 80 km/h].)
• The relative speed between your vehicle and the vehicle or pedestrian ahead is approximately 19 mph (30 km/h) or more.
●Pre-collision braking:
• Vehicle speed is approximately 7 mph (10 km/h) or more. (For detecting a pedes-
trian, vehicle speed is between approximately 7 and 50 mph [10 and 80 km/h].)
• The relative speed between your vehicle and the vehicle or pedestrian ahead is approximately 7 mph (10 km/h) or more.
The system may not operate in the following situations:
●If a 12-volt battery terminal has been disconnected and reconnected and then the vehi-
cle has not been driven for a certain amount of time
●If the shift lever is in R
●If VSC is disabled (only the pre-collis ion warning function will be operational)
●If the PCS warning light is flashing or illuminated

Region B
(The pedestrian detection function is not available and the pre-collision braking func-
tion is available)

• Vehicle speed is approximatel y 19 mph (30 km/h) or more.
• The relative speed between your vehicle and the vehicle or pedestrian ahead is approximately 19 mph (30 km/h) or more.
●Pre-collision braking:
• Vehicle speed is approximatel y 10 mph (15 km/h) or more.
• The relative speed between your vehicle and the vehicle or pedestrian ahead is approximately 7 mph (10 km/h) or more.
The system may not operate in the following situations:
●If a 12-volt battery terminal has been disconnected and reconnected and then the vehi-
cle has not been driven for a certain amount of time
●If the shift lever is in R
●If VSC is disabled (only the pre-collis ion warning function will be operational)
●If the PCS warning light is flashing or illuminated
Region C
(The pedestrian detection function and pre-collision braking function are not avail-
able)
The pre-collision system is enabled and the sy stem determines that the possibility of a
frontal collision with a vehicle is high.
Each function is operationa l at the following speeds:
●Pre-collision warning:

■If the PCS warning light flashes and a warning message is displayed on the multi-infor-
mation display
The pre-collision system may be temporarily unavailable or there may be a malfunction
in the system.
●In the following situations, the warning light will turn off, the message will disappear and
the system will become operational when normal operating conditions return:
• When the radar sensor or ca mera sensor or the area around either sensor is hot,
such as in the sun
• When the radar sensor or camera sensor or the area around either sensor is cold,
such as in an extremely cold environment
• When the radar sensor or front grille embl em is dirty or covered with snow, etc.
• If the camera sensor is obstructed, such as when the hood is open or a sticker is
attached to the windshield near the camera sensor
●If the PCS warning light continues to flash or the warning message does not disappear,
the system may be malfunctioning. Have the vehicle inspected by your Lexus dealer
immediately.
■If VSC is disabled
●If VSC is disabled ( P. 384), the pre-collision brake assist and pre-collision braking
functions are also disabled.
●The PCS warning light will turn on and “V SC Turned Off Pre-Collision Brake System
Unavailable” will be displayed on the multi-information display.

■Dynamic radar cruise control with full-speed range can be set when
●The shift lever is in D or range 4 or higher of S has been selected.
●Range 4 or higher of D has been selected by using the paddle shift.
(vehicles with padd le shift switches)
●Vehicle speed is above approximately 30 mph (50 km/h). However, when a preceding
vehicle is detected, the dynamic radar cruise control with full-speed range can be set
even if the vehicle speed is at or below approximately 30 mph (50 km/h).
■Accelerating after setting the vehicle speed
The vehicle can accelerate by operating the accelerator pedal. After accelerating, the
set speed resumes. However, during vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode, the vehi-
cle speed may decrease below the set speed in order to maintain the distance to the pre-
ceding vehicle.
■Automatic cancelation of vehicle- to-vehicle distance control mode
Vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode is automatically canceled in the following situ-
ations.
●Actual vehicle speed falls below approximately 25 mph (40 km/h) when there are no
vehicles ahead.
●The preceding vehicle leaves the lane when yo ur vehicle is following at a vehicle speed
below approximately 25 mph (40 km/h). Otherwise, the sensor cannot properly
detect the vehicle.
●VSC is activated.
●TRAC is activated for a period of time.
●When the VSC or TRAC system is turned off by pressing the VSC OFF switch.
●The sensor cannot detect correctly because it is covered in some way.
●Pre-collision braking is activated.
●The parking brake is operated.
●The vehicle is stopped by system control on a steep incline.
●The following are detected when the vehicle has been stopped by system control:
• The driver is not wearing a seat belt.
• The driver’s door is opened.
• The vehicle has been stopped for about 3 minutes
If vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode is automatically canceled for any other rea-
son, there may be a malfunction in th e system. Contact your Lexus dealer.
