●Pre-crash braking:
Vehicles without camera sensors
• The pre-crash braking off switch is not pressed.
• The VSC OFF switch is not pressed.
• Vehicle speed is greater than about 15 km/h (10 mph).
• The speed at which your vehicle is approaching the obstacle or the vehicle run-
ning ahead of you is greater than about 15 km/h (10 mph).
Vehicles with camera sensors
• The pre-crash braking off switch is not pressed.
• The VSC OFF switch is not pressed.
• Vehicle speed is greater than about 5 km/h (4 mph).
• The speed at which your vehicle is approaching the obstacle or the vehicle run-
ning ahead of you is greater than about 5 km/h (4 mph).
●Suspension control:
• Vehicle speed is greater than about 5 km/h (4 mph).
• The speed at which your vehicle is approaching the obstacle or the vehicle run-
ning ahead of you is greater than about 30 km/h (19 mph).
●Steering gear control (VGRS) (vehicles with camera sensors):
• Vehicle speed is greater than about 30 km/h (19 mph).
• The speed at which your vehicle is approaching the obstacle or the vehicle run-
ning ahead of you is greater than about 30 km/h (19 mph).
●Pre-crash alert braking (vehicles with driver monitor system):

■Situations in which the pre-crash safety system does not function properly
The system may not function effectively in situations such as the following:
●On roads with sharp bends or uneven surfaces
●If a vehicle suddenly moves in front of your vehicle, such as at an intersection
●If a vehicle suddenly cuts in front of your vehicle, such as when overtaking
●In inclement weather such as heavy rain, fog, snow or sand storms
●If the vehicle is skidding when VSC is not operating
●When an extreme change in vehicle height occurs
●When only part of your vehicle’s front end collides with, or contacts, a vehicle or
object in a frontal collision
●When the radar sensor moves off position due to its surrounding area being sub-
jected to a strong impact
●If an obstacle in front of the vehicle is small
●When the system judges that the driver performed a collision avoidance operation
via the accelerator pedal, brake pedal, or steering wheel
■Automatic cancelation of the pre-crash safety system
When a malfunction occurs due to sensor contamination, etc. that results in the sen-
sors being unable to detect obstacles, the pre-crash safety system will be automati-
cally disabled. In this case, the system will not activate even if there is a collision
possibility.
■When there is a malfunction in the system
The pre-crash safety system warning light will flash and warning messages will be
displayed. ( P. 557, 563)

CAUTION
■Limitations of the pre-crash safety system
The driver is solely responsible for safe driving. Always drive safely, taking care to
observe your surroundings.
Do not use the pre-crash safety system instead of normal braking operations under
any circumstances. This system will not prevent collisions or lessen damage or inju-
ries in all cases. Do not overly rely on this system. Failure to do so may cause an
accident, resulting in death or serious injury.
This system has been designed to help avoid and reduce the impact of collisions.
However, the system operates differently depending on the situation ( P. 350,
352). As a result, the same level of performance may not be expected in all cases.
Also, the pre-crash safety brakes may not operate if the driver is depressing the
brake pedal or turning the steering wheel, as the system will determine such condi-
tions as collision avoidance operations.
■Handling the radar sensor
Observe the following to ensure the pre-crash safety system can function effec-
tively. Otherwise, the system may not function correctly and could result in an acci-
dent.
●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 surrounding area to a strong impact.
If the sensor moves even slightly off position, the system may malfunction. If the
sensor or surrounding area is subject to a strong impact, always have the area
inspected and adjusted by any authorized Lexus dealer or repairer, or another
duly qualified and equipped professional.
●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 radar sensor needs to be replaced, contact any authorized Lexus dealer or
repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional.

CAUTION
■Driving with snow tires
Observe the following precautions to reduce the risk of accidents.
Failure to do so may result in a loss of vehicle control and cause death or serious
injury.
●Use tires of the specified size.
●Maintain the recommended level of air pressure.
●Do not drive at speeds in excess of the speed limit or the speed limit specified for
the snow tires being used.
●Use snow tires on all, not just some wheels.
■Driving with tire chains
Observe the following precautions to reduce the risk of accidents.
Failure to do so may result in the vehicle being unable to be driven safely, and may
cause death or serious injury.
●Do not drive in excess of the speed limit specified for the tire chains being used,
or 50 km/h (30 mph), whichever is lower.
●Avoid driving on bumpy road surfaces or over potholes.
●Avoid sudden acceleration, abrupt steering, sudden braking and shifting opera-
tions that cause sudden engine braking.
●Slow down sufficiently before entering a curve to ensure that vehicle control is
maintained.
●Do not use LKA (Lane-Keeping Assist) system. (if equipped)
NOTICE
■Repairing or replacing snow tires
Request repairs or replacement of snow ti res from Lexus dealers or legitimate tire
retailers.
This is because the removal and attachment of snow tires affects the operation of
the tire pressure warning valves and transmitters.
■Fitting tire chains
The tire pressure warning valves and transmitters may not function correctly when
tire chains are fitted.
