• The vehicle is being driven at extremely
high speeds.
• When driving on a hill
• If the radar sensor or camera sensor is misaligned
●In some situations such as the following,
sufficient braking force may not be
obtained, preventing the system from
performing properly:
• If the braking functions cannot operate to
their full extent, such as when the brake
parts are extremely cold, extremely hot,
or wet
• If the vehicle is not properly maintained (brakes or tires are excessively worn,
improper tire inflation pressure, etc.)
• When the vehicle is being driven on a gravel road or other slippery surface
●Some pedestrians such as the following
may not be detected by the radar sensor
and camera sensor, preventing the sys-
tem from operating properly:
• Pedestrians shorter than approximately 3.2 ft. (1 m) or tall er than approximately
6.5 ft. (2 m)
• Pedestrians wearing oversized clothing (a rain coat, long skir t, etc.), making their

■If the PCS warning light flashes and a
warning message is displayed on the
multi-information display
The pre-collision system may be temporar-
ily unavailable or there may be a malfunc-
tion in the system. In this case, read the
warning message and follow the instruction.
●In the following situations, the warning
light will turn off, the message will disap-
pear and the system will become opera-
tional when normal operating conditions
return:
• When the radar sensor or camera sensor or the area around either sensor is hot,
such as in the sun
• When the radar sensor or camera sensor or the area around either sensor is cold,
such as in an extremely cold environment
• When the radar sensor or front grille emblem is dirty or covered with snow,
etc.
• When the part of the windshield in front of the camera sensor is fogged up or cov-
ered with condensation or ice (Defog-
ging the windshield: P.243)
• If the camera sensor is obstructed, such as when the hood is open or a sticker is
attached to the windshield near the cam-
era sensor
●If the PCS warning light continues to flash
or the warning message does not disap-
pear, the system may be malfunctioning.
Have the vehicle inspected by your Lexus
dealer immediately.
■If VSC is disabled
●If VSC is disabled ( P.228), the pre-
collision brake assist and pre-collision
braking functions are also disabled.
●The PCS warning light will turn on and
