WARNING
■Before using LKA system
Do not rely solely upon the LKA system. Th e LKA system does not automatically drive the vehicle or reduce the amount of attention that must be paid to the area in front of
the vehicle. The driver must always assume full responsibility for driving safely by pay- ing careful attention to the surrounding conditions and operating the steering wheel tocorrect the path of the vehicle. Also, the driver must take adequate breaks when
fatigued, such as from driving for a long period of time. Failure to perform appropriate driving operat ions and pay careful attention may lead to an accident, resulting in death or serious injury.
■To avoid operating LKA system by mistake
When not using the LKA system, use the LKA switch to turn the system off.
■Situations unsuitable for LKA system
Do not use the LKA system in the following situations. The system may not operate properly and le ad to an accident, resulting in death or serious injury.
●A spare tire, tire chains, etc. are equipped.
●When the tires have been excessively worn, or when the tire inflation pressure is low.
●Tires which differ by structure, manufacturer, brand or tread pattern are used.
●Objects or patterns that could be mistaken for white (yellow) lines are present on the side of the road (guardrails, cu rbs, reflective poles, etc.).
●Vehicle is driven on a snow-covered road.
●White (yellow) lines are difficult to see due to rain, snow, fog, dust, etc.
●Asphalt repair marks, white (yellow) line marks, etc. are present due to road repair.
●Vehicle is driven in a temporary lane or restricted lane due to construction work.
●Vehicle is driven on a road surface which is slippery due to rainy weather, fallen snow, freezing, etc.
●Vehicle is driven in traffic lanes other than on highways and freeways.
●Vehicle is driven in a construction zone.
●Vehicle is towing a trailer or another vehicle. (vehicles with towing package)
■Preventing LKA system malfunctions and operations performed by mistake
●Do not modify the headlights or place stickers, etc. on the surface of the lights.
●Do not modify the suspension etc. If the suspension etc. needs to be replaced, con- tact any authorized Lexus retailer or Le xus authorized repairer, or any reliable
repairer.
●Do not install or place anything on the hood or grille. Also, do not install a grille guard (bull bars, kangaroo bar, etc.).
●If your windshield needs repairs, contac t any authorized Lexus retailer or Lexus authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.

*1: If the turn signal indicator is not operated when changing lanes, the mark does not dis-
play.
*2:On some models
In the following situations, the RSA system alerts the driver using a warning dis-
play.
●When the vehicle speed exceeds the speed warning threshold applied to the
speed limit of the sign displayed on the multi-information display, the sign
color becomes inverted.
●If it is detected that your vehicle is overtaking when a no overtaking sign is dis-
played on the multi-information display, the sign flashes.
●On some models: When the RSA system recognizes a no-entry sign and
detects that the vehicle has entered a no-entry area based on the map infor-
mation of the navigation system, the no-entry sign flashes.
Depending on the situation, traffic environment (traffic direction, speed, unit)
may be detected incorrectly and a warning display may not operate properly.
■Automatic turn-off of RSA sign display
One or more signs automatically turn off in the following situations.
●A new sign is not recognized for a certain distance.
●The road changes due to a left or right turn, etc.
■Conditions in which the function may not operate or detect correctly
In the following situations, RSA does not op erate normally and may not recognize signs,
display the incorrect sign, etc. However, this does not indicate a malfunction.
●The camera sensor is misaligned due to a strong impact being applied to the sensor, etc.
●Dirt, snow, stickers, etc. are on the windshield near the camera sensor.
●In inclement weather such as heavy rain, fog, snow or sand storms
●Light from an oncoming vehicle, the sun, etc. enters the camera sensor.
●The sign is dirty, faded, tilted or bent, and if an electronic sign, the contrast is poor.
●All or part of the sign is hidden by the leaves of a tree, a pole, etc.
●The sign is only visible to the camera sensor for a short amount of time.
●The driving scene (turning, lane change, etc.) is judged incorrectly.
●Even if it is a sign not appropriate for the currently traveled lane, such a sign exists
directly after a freeway branches, or in an adjacent lane just before merging.
●Stickers are attached to the rear of the preceding vehicle.
●A sign resembling a system comp atible sign is recognized.
●The vehicle is driven in a country with a different direction of traffic.

■Adjusting the position of and opening and closing the air outlets
Direct air flow to the left or right, up or down.
Turn the knob to open or close the vent.
■Registering air conditioning settings to electronic keys
●Unlocking the vehicle using an electronic key and turning the power switch to ON
mode will recall that key’s registered air conditioning settings.
●When the power switch is turned off, the cu rrent air conditioning settings will automati- cally be registered to the electronic key that was used to unlock the vehicle.
●The system may not operate correctly if more than one electronic key is in the vicinity orif the smart entry & start system is used to unlock a passenger door.
●Settings for the electronic key and the corresponding door can be changed. Contact
any authorized Lexus retailer or Lexus author ized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
■Using automatic mode
Fan speed is adjusted automatically according to the temperature setting and the ambi-
ent conditions. Therefore, the fan may stop for a while until wa rm or cool air is ready to flow immediately
after is pressed.
Cool air may blow around the upper body even when the heater is on due to sunlight.
■Fogging up of the windows
●The windows will easily fog up when the humidity in the vehicle is high. Turning “A/C” on will dehumidify the air from the outlets and defog the windshield effectively.
●If you turn “A/C” off, the windows may fog up more easily.
●The windows may fog up if the recirculated air mode is used.

■nanoe *1 system (if equipped)
Your vehicle incorporates a nanoe device, which is considered a biocidal product. The nanoe device generates charged water particles from the ambient air and these purify
the air in the cabin by suppressing bacteria.
The nanoe device is considered a biocidal product in the EU according to the interpre- tation of Regulation (EU) No 528/2012.
Active substances: Charged water particles (nano) containing hydroxyl radicals, gener- ated from ambient air
nanoe helps to provide purified air by emitting electrically charged water particles
through the front center vent on the driver’s side*2.
●When the fan is turned on and “nanoe” on the option control screen is selected, the nanoe system is activated.
●When the fan is operated in the following conditions, system performance will be maxi- mized. If the following conditions are not met, performance will be limited.
• The , or air outlets are being used.
• The front center vent on driver’s side is open.
●When nanoe is generated, a small amount of ozone is emitted and may be faintly smelled in some situations. However, this is approximately the same as the amount that
already exists in nature, such as in forests, and it has no affect on the human body.
●A slight noise may be heard during operation. This is not a malfunction.
*1:nanoe and the nanoe mark are trademarks of Panasonic Corporation.
*2: According to temperature and humidity conditions, fan speed and direction of the
air flow, the nanoe system may not operate at full capacity.
