2017 LEXUS RC200T warning lights

501-1. For safe use
RC200t_RC F_EE(OM24728E)
The main SRS airbag system and Pop Up Hood components are shown above.
The SRS airbag system and Pop Up Hood are controlled by the airbag sensor
assembly. As the airbags deploy, a chemical reaction in the inflators quickly fills
the airbags with non-toxic gas to help restrain the motion of the occupants.
When the Pop Up Hood is activated, a non-toxic gas is released due to a chemi-
cal reaction in the lifters, which causes the pistons to eject quickly and raise the
rear portion of the hood. (Pop Up Hood: P. 62)

WARNING
■Caution regarding the use of windshield wipers in AUTO mode
The windshield wipers may operate unexpectedly if the sensor is touched or the wind- shield is subject to vibration in AUTO mode. Take care that your fingers or anything
else do not become caught in the windshield wipers.
■Caution regarding the use of washer fluid
When it is cold, do not use the washer fluid until the windshield becomes warm. The

●In the following situations, the engine may restart automatically if the engine is stopped by the Stop & Start system. (To enable stoppi ng of the engine by the Stop & Start sys- tem, drive the vehicle.)
• The brake pedal is pumped or strongly depressed. • The air conditioning system is being used.• The battery is not sufficiently charged.
■If the steering wheel is turned shortly after the engine has started
If the steering wheel is turned shortly after the engine has been started by the Stop & Start system, the steering wheel may feel heavy.
■Hood
●If the hood is opened while the engine is stopped by the Stop & Start system with theshift lever in D, the engine w ill stall and will not be able to be restarted by the automatic
engine start function. In this case, restart the engine using the normal engine starting procedure. ( P. 247)
●If the hood is opened while the engine is stopped by the Stop & Start system with the
shift lever in P, the engine will be restarted automatically.
●Even if the hood is closed after the engine is started with the hood open, the Stop & Start system will not operate. Close the hood, turn the engine switch off, wait 30 sec-
onds or more, and then start the engine.
■When to use the Stop & Start system
●Use the Stop & Start system when stopping the vehicle temporarily at red lights, inter-
sections, etc. When stopping the vehicle fo r a longer period of time, stop the engine completely.
●When the system does not operate, is canceled, or is malfunctioning, warning mes-
sages and a warning buzzer are used to inform the driver. ( P. 291)

Driving
RC200t_RC F_EE(OM24728E)
This mode employs a radar sensor to detect the presence of vehicles up to
approximately 120 m (400 ft.) ahead, determines the current vehicle-to-vehicle
following distance, and operates to maintain a suitable following distance from
the vehicle ahead.
Note that vehicle-to-vehicle distance will close in when traveling on long downhill slopes.
Example of constant speed cruising
When there are no vehicles ahead
The vehicle travels at the speed set by the driver. The desired vehicle-to-vehicle dis- tance can also be set by operating the vehicle-to-vehicle distance control.
Example of deceleration cruising
When a preceding vehicle driving slower than the set speed appears
When a vehicle is detected running ahead of you, the system automatically deceler- ates your vehicle. When a greater reductio n in vehicle speed is necessary, the system applies the brakes (the stop lights will come on at this time). A warning tone warns you
when the system cannot decelerate sufficiently to prevent your vehicle from closing in on the vehicle ahead.
Example of follow-up cruising
When following a preceding vehicle driving slower than the set speed
The system continues follow-up cruising wh ile adjusting for changes in the speed of
the vehicle ahead in order to maintain the vehicle-to-vehicle distance set by the driver.
Example of acceleration
When there are no longer any preceding vehicles driving slower than the set
speed
The system accelerates until the set speed is reached. The system then returns to con- stant speed cruising.
