■Front door opening linked windshield wiper stop function (vehicles with rain-sensing windshield wipers)
When “AUTO” is selected and the windshield wipers are operating, if a front door is
opened, the operation of the windshield wipers will be stopped to prevent anyone near the vehicle from being sprayed by water from the wipers, provided the vehicle is stoppedwith the parking brake applied or the shift leve r in P. When the front door is closed, wiper
operation will resume.
■Customization
Some functions can be customized. ( P. 740)
WARNING
■Caution regarding the use of windshield wipers in AUTO mode (vehicles with rain-
sensing windshield wipers)
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, etc. do not
become caught in th e 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
fluid may freeze on the windshield and cause low visibility. This may lead to an accident, resulting in death or serious injury.
■When the washer nozzle heaters are operating (if equipped)
Do not touch the area around the washer no zzle heaters, as they can become very hot and burn you.
NOTICE
■When the windshield is dry
Do not use the wipers, as they may damage the windshield.
■When the washer fluid tank is empty
Do not operate the switch continually as the washer fluid pump may overheat.
■When a nozzle becomes blocked
In this case, contact any authorized Lexus de aler or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional.Do not try to clear it with a pin or other object. The nozzle will be damaged.

The pre-crash safety system is equipped with a sophisticated computer that will
record certain data, such as:
• Accelerator status
• Brake status
• Vehicle speed
• Operation status of the pre-crash safety system functions
• Information (such as the distance and relative speed between your vehicle
and the vehicle ahead or other objects)
The pre-crash safety system does not re cord conversations, sounds or pictures.
●Data usage
Lexus may use the data recorded in this computer to diagnose malfunctions,
conduct research and development, and improve quality.
Lexus will not disclose the recorded data to a third party except:
• With the consent of the vehicle owner or with the consent of the lessee if
the vehicle is leased
• In response to an official request by the police, a court of law or a govern-
ment agency
• For use by Lexus in a lawsuit
• For research purposes where the data is not tied to a specific vehicle or
vehicle owner

PCS (Pre-Crash Safety system)
: If equipped
The pre-crash safety system uses a radar sensor and camera sensor to detect
vehicles and pedestrians*1 in front of your vehicle. When the system deter-
mines that the possibility of a frontal collision with a vehicle or pedestrian is
high, a warning operates to urge the driver to take evasive action and the
potential brake pressure is increased to help the driver avoid the collision. If
the system determines that the possibility of a frontal collision with a vehicle or
pedestrian is extremely high, the brakes are automatically applied*2 to help
avoid the collision or help reduce the impact of the collision.
The pre-crash safety system can be disabled/enabled and the warning timing
can be changed. ( P. 304)
*1: Depending on the region in which the vehicle was sold, the pedestrian detection
function may not be available. Contact any authorized Lexus dealer or repairer, or
another duly qualified and equipped professional for details.
*2: Depending on the region in which the vehicle was sold, the pre-crash braking func-
tion (automatic braking function) may no t be available. Contact any authorized
Lexus dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional for
details.

◆Pre-crash warning
When the system determines that
the possibility of a frontal collision is
high, a buzzer will sound and a warn-
ing message will be displayed on the
multi-information display to urge the
driver to take evasive action.
◆Pre-crash brake assist
When the system determines that the possi bility of a frontal collision is high,
the system applies greater braking force in relation to how strongly the brake
pedal is depressed.
◆Pre-crash braking*3
When the system determines that the possi bility of a frontal collision is high,
the system warns the driver. If the system determines that the possibility of a
frontal collision is extremely high, the brakes are automatically applied to help
avoid the collision or reduce the collision speed.
*3: Depending on the region in which the vehi cle was sold, the pre-crash braking function
may not be available.
◆Suspension control (if equipped)
When the system determines that the possi bility of a frontal collision is high,
the Adaptive Variable Suspension System ( P. 423) will control the damping
force of the shock absorbers to help ma intain an appropriate vehicle posture.

WARNING
■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 pr event collisions or lessen collision damage or injury in every situation. Do not overly rely on this system. Failure to do so may lead
to an accident, resulting in death or serious injury.
●Although this system is designed to help avoid a collision or help reduce the impact of the collision, its effectiveness may change according to various conditions, therefore
the system may not always be able to achieve the same level of performance. Read the following conditions carefully. Do not overly rely on this system and always drive carefully.
• Conditions under which the system may oper ate even if there is no possibility of a collision: P. 307 • Conditions under which the system may not operate properly: P. 310
●Do not attempt to test the operation of the pre-crash safety system yourself, as the system may not operate properly, possibly leading to an accident.
■Pre-crash braking*3
●When the pre-crash braking function is operating, a large amount of braking forcewill be applied.
●If the vehicle is stopped by the operation of the pre-crash braking function, the pre- crash braking function operation will be canceled after approximately 2 seconds. Depress the brake pedal as necessary.
●The pre-crash braking function may not operate if certain operations are performedby the driver. If the accelerator pedal is being depressed strongly or the steering wheel is being turned, the system may determine that the driver is taking evasive
action and possibly prevent the pre-crash braking function from operating.
●In some situations, while the pre-crash brakin g function is operating, operation of the function may be canceled if the accelerator pedal is depressed strongly or the steer-
ing wheel is turned and the system determines that the driver is taking evasive action.
●If the brake pedal is being depressed, the system may determine that the driver is tak- ing evasive action and possibly delay the operation timing of the pre-crash braking
function.
*3: Depending on the region in which the vehicle was sold, the pre-crash braking func-
tion may not be available.
