1-1. For safe use
●A frontal impact applied to the front bumper while driving at speeds outside of the operational speed range
●A side impact or rear impact
●A vehicle rollover (In some accident situ-ations, the Pop Up Hood may operate.)
WARNING
■When the Pop Up Hood is operated
●Do not pull the hood lock release lever.
Doing so after the Pop Up Hood has operated will further raise the hood and may cause an injury. Do not drive
with the hood raised, as doing so may block the driver’s vision, possibly caus-ing an accident.
●Do not forcibly push down the hood.
As the popped up hood cannot be lowered by hand, doing so may deform the hood or cause an injury.
●If the Pop Up Hood has operated, have
it replaced by any authorized Lexus retailer or Lexus authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer. If the Pop Up
Hood has operated, stop the vehicle in a safe place and contact authorized Lexus retailer or Lexus authorized
repairer, or any reliable repairer.
●Do not touch the lifters immediately after the Pop Up Hood has operated, as the lifters may be hot and burn you.
NOTICE
■Pop Up Hood precautions
●Make sure to close the hood before driving, as the system may not operate
properly if the hood is not fully closed.
●Make sure that all 4 tires are of the specified size and inflated to the speci-fied tire pressure. If tires of a different
size are used, the system may not operate properly.
●If something has hit the area around the front bumper, the sensors may be
damaged even if the Pop Up Hood has not operated. Have the vehicle inspected by any authorized Lexus
retailer or Lexus authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
●Do not remove or repair the parts or wiring of the Pop Up Hood, as doing
so may cause accidental operation or prevent the system from operating properly. If repair or replacement is
necessary, contact any authorized Lexus retailer or Lexus authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
●Do not remove such components as
the front bumper, hood or suspension, or replace them with non-genuine parts, as doing so may prevent the sys-
tem from operating properly.
●Do not install anything to the front bumper or hood, as doing so may pre-vent the sensors from detecting an
impact correctly and prevent the sys- tem from operating properly.
●Do not close the hood with force or
apply load to the lifters, as doing so may damage the lifters and prevent the system from operating properly.
●Do not modify the suspension, as
changes made to the vehicle height may prevent the system from operat-ing properly.

4-2. Driving procedures
in the following conditions:
●The driver’s door is not closed.
●The driver is not wearing the seat belt.
●“EPB Activation Stopped Incompletely” or “EPB Malfunction Visit Your dealer” is displayed on the multi-information dis-
play.
If any of the conditions above are detected
when the brake hold system is enabled, the system will turn off and the brake hold standby indicator light will go off. In addi-
tion, if any of the conditions are detected while the system is holding the brake, a warning buzzer will sound and a message
will be shown on the multi-information dis- play. The parking brake will then be set automatically.
■Brake hold function
●If the brake pedal is left released for a period of about 3 minutes after the sys-
tem has started holding the brake, the parking brake will be set automatically. In this case, a warning buzzer sounds and a
message is shown on the multi-informa- tion display.
●To turn the system off while the system is holding the brake, firmly depress the
brake pedal and press the button again.
●The brake hold function may not hold the
vehicle when the vehicle is on a steep incline. In this situation, it may be neces-sary for the driver to apply the brakes. A
warning buzzer will sound and the multi- information display will inform the driver of this situation. ( P.378)
■When the parking brake is set automati-
cally while the system is holding the brakes
The parking brake will not be released auto- matically. Perform one of the following pro-cedures to release the parking brake and
confirm that the parking brake indicator light turns off. ( P.187)
●With the brake pedal depressed, operate the parking brake switch.
●Fasten your seat belt, check that the shift position is in either D or R and slowly depress the accelerator pedal.
■If “Brake Hold Unavailable” is shown on the multi-information display
The brake hold system cannot be used. The reason the brake hold system is not avail-able (the driver’s door opens, the driver’s
seat belt is unfasten, or the hood or trunk opens) may be displayed. Use the brake hold system when it becomes available.
■Warning message and buzzers
Warning messages and buzzers are used to indicate a system malfunction or to inform
the driver of the need for caution. ( P.378)
WARNING
■When the vehicle is on a steep incline
When using the brake hold system on a
steep incline exercise caution. The brake hold function may not hold the vehicle in such a situation.
■When the vehicle is stopped on a slip-
pery road
The system cannot stop the vehicle when
the gripping ability of the tires has been exceeded. Do not use the system when the vehicle is stopped on a slippery road.
NOTICE
■When parking the vehicle
The brake hold system is not designed for use when parking the vehicle for a
long period of time. Turning the engine switch off while the sys- tem is holding the brake may release the
brake, which would cause the vehicle to move. When operating the engine switch , depress the brake pedal,
set the parking brake and shift the shift position to P.
