Driving
LS600h/LS600hL_EE(OM50G20E)
The rear radar sensor detects
objects approaching from behind
and determines whether a rear-end
collision is imminent based on the
position, speed and heading of the
object before it happens.
■System operating conditions
When the power switch is in ON mode and there is a possibility of a rear-end colli-
sion due to a vehicle in the same lane approaching from the rear, the system oper-
ates if all of the following conditions are met:
●Warning for the approaching vehicle (emergency flashers):
• The relative speed difference between your vehicle and the vehicle approach-
ing from behind is greater than about 30 km/h (18 mph).
• When the vehicle is stationary or moving forward while the brake pedal is
depressed.
• When the turn signal lights and emergency flashers are off.
●Whiplash mitigation (pre-crash intelligent head restraints):
• The relative speed difference between your vehicle and the vehicle approach-
ing from behind is greater than about 15 km/h (9 mph).
• Your vehicle is stopped or moving forward.
■Whiplash mitigation
The pre-crash intelligent head restraint may not stop in the proper position if a hat is
worn or the occupant’s hair is bound at the back.

●The sensor may not detect objects such as bicycles and motorcycles.
●Raindrops, ice or snow are attached to the rear bumper.
●The road has curves or is bumpy.
●A rear-end collision occurs from an angle or with a large offset.
■Conditions that may trigger the system even if there is no danger of a rear-end col-
lision
●Another vehicle drives past just behind your vehicle when your vehicle is stopped
to turn right or left.
●Another vehicle drives past just beside your vehicle when your vehicle is stopped
on the side of the road.
●The vehicle behind you passes your vehicle from a short distance while your vehicle
is moving.
●The vehicle behind you approaches your vehicle rapidly to a close distance while
your vehicle is moving or stopped.

CAUTION
■If both the ABS and the brake system warning lights remain on
Stop your vehicle in a safe place immediately and contact any authorized Lexus
dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional. The vehicle
will become extremely unstable during braking, and the ABS system may fail,
which could cause an accident resulting in death or serious injury.
■When the electric power steering system warning light comes on
The steering wheel may become extremely heavy.
If the steering wheel becomes heavier than usual when operating, hold firmly and
operate using more force than usual.
■If the tire pressure warning light comes on
Be sure to observe the following precautions. Failure to do so could cause a loss of
vehicle control and result in death or serious injury.
●As the tire inflation pressure may be low when this warning light is illuminated,
stop your vehicle in a safe place as soon as possible and adjust the tire inflation
pressure immediately.
●If the tire pressure warning light comes on even after tire inflation pressure adjust-
ment, it is probable that you have a flat tire. Check the tires. If a tire is flat, change
it with the spare tire and have the flat tire repaired by the nearest any authorized
Lexus dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional.
●Avoid abrupt maneuvering and braking. If the vehicle tires deteriorate, you could
lose control of the steering wheel or the brakes.
■If a blowout or sudden air leakage should occur
The tire pressure warning system may not activate immediately.
NOTICE
■To ensure the tire pressure warning system operates properly
Do not install tires with different specifications or makers, as the tire pressure warn-
ing system may not operate properly.
