■When the sensor may not be correctly detecting the vehicle ahead
In the case of the following and depending on the conditions, operate the brake pedal
when deceleration of the system is insufficient or operate the accelerator pedal when
acceleration is required.
As the sensor may not be able to correctly detect these types of vehicles, the approach
warning ( P. 196) will not be activated, which may lead to an accident resulting in
death or serious injury.
●Vehicles with small rear ends (tra ilers with no load on board etc.)
●Vehicles that cut in suddenly
●Vehicles traveling at low speeds
●Vehicles that are not moving in the same lane

●When water or snow thrown up by the surrounding vehicles hinders the detecting of
the sensor
●Motorcycles traveling in the same lane
●When your vehicle is pointing upwards
(caused by a heavy load in the luggage com-
partment etc.)

■Conditions under which the vehicle-to-vehicle distance control may not function cor-
rectly
Operate the brake pedal (or accelerator pedal operation depending on the situation)
as necessary in the following conditions as the radar sensor may not be able to cor-
rectly detect vehicles ahead, which may lead to an accident resulting in death or seri-
ous injury.
●When the road curves or when the lanes are
narrow
●When steering wheel operation or your posi-
tion in the lane is unstable
●When the vehicle ahead of you decelerates
suddenly

■Handling the radar sensor
Observe the following to ensure the cruise control system can function effectively.
Otherwise, the system may not detect correctly and could result in an accident.
●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 surr
ounding area to a strong impact.
If the sensor moves even slightly off posi tion, the system may not work normally or
malfunction. If the sensor or surrounding area is subject to a strong impact, always
have the area inspected and adjusted by a 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 sensor needs to be replaced, contact your Lexus dealer.

■Buzzer operation and distance to an obstacle
A buzzer sounds when the sensors are operating.
●The buzzer sounds faster as the
vehicle approaches an obstacle.
When the vehicle comes within the follo wing distance of the obstacle, the
buzzer sounds continuously. • Front corner sensors: Approximately 1.0 ft. (30 cm)
• Rear corner sensors: Approximately 1.0 ft. (30 cm)
• Rear center sensors: Approximately 1.2 ft. (35 cm)
●When 2 or more obstacles are detected simultaneously, the buzzer system
responds to the nearest obstacle. If one or both come within the above dis-
tances, the beep will repeat a long tone, followed by fast beeps.
Approximately 1.6 ft. (50 cm)
Approximately 2.0 ft. (60 cm)
Approximately 4.9 ft. (150 cm)
The diagram shows th e detection range
of the sensors. Note that the sensors
cannot detect obstacles that are
extremely close to the vehicle.
The range of the sensors may change
depending on the shape of the object
etc.
