2019 Lexus ES350 parking sensors

2244-5. Using the driving support systems
*:If equipped
This function will operate in situations such as the following if an object is detected
in the traveling direction of the vehicle.
■When traveling at a low speed and the brake pedal is not depressed, or is
depressed late
Parking Support Brake function (static objects)*
If the sensors detect a static object, such as a wall, in the traveling direction of
the vehicle and the system determines that a collision may occur due to the
vehicle suddenly moving forward due to an accidental accelerator pedal oper-
ation, the vehicle moving the unintended direction due to the wrong shift posi-
tion being selected, or while parking or traveling at low speeds, the system will
operate to lessen the impact with the detected static object and reduce the
resulting damage.

WARNING
●If the area around a radar sensor is
subjected to an impact, the system
may not operate properly due to a
sensor malfunction. Have the vehicle
inspected by your Lexus dealer.
■Handling the suspension
Do not modify the suspension, as
changes to the height or inclination of the
vehicle may prevent the sensors from
detecting objects correctly or cause the
system to not operate or operate unnec-
essarily.
■If the Parking Support Brake function
(static objects) operates unnecessar-
ily, such as at a railroad crossing
In the event that the Parking Support
Brake function (static objects) operates
unnecessarily, such as at a railroad cross-
ing, brake control w ill be canceled after
approximately 2 seconds, allowing you
to proceed forward and leave the area,
brake control can also be canceled by
depressing the brake pedal. Depressing
the accelerator pedal after brake control
is canceled will allow you to proceed for-
ward and leave the area.
■Notes when washing the vehicle
Do not apply intensive bursts of water or
steam to the sensor area.
Doing so may result in the sensor mal-
functioning.
●When using a high pressure washer to
wash the vehicle, do not spray the sen-
sors directly, as doing so may cause a
sensor to malfunction.
●When using steam to clean the vehicle,
do not direct steam too close to the
sensors as doing so may cause a sen-
sor to malfunction.
■When to disable the Parking Support
Brake
In the following situations, disable the
Parking Support Brake as the system
may operate even though there is no
possibility of a collision.
●When inspecting the vehicle using a
chassis roller, chassis dynamo or free
roller
●When loading the vehicle onto a boat,
truck or other transport vessel
●If the suspension has been modified or
tires of a size othe r than specified are
installed
●If the front of the vehicle is raised or
lowered due to the carried load
●When equipment that may obstruct a
sensor is installed, such as a towing
eyelet (if equipped) bumper protector
(an additional trim strip, etc.), bicycle
carrier, or snow plow
●When using an automatic car wash

■Detection range of the Parking Support
Brake function (static objects)
The detection range of the Parking Support
Brake function (static objects) differs from
the detection range of the intuitive parking
assist. ( P.209) Therefore, even if the intu-
itive parking assist detects an object and
provides a warning, the Parking Support
Brake function (static objects) may not start
operating.
■Objects that the Parking Support Brake
function (static obje cts) may not detect
The sensors may not be able to detect cer-
tain objects, such as the following:
●Pedestrian
●Cotton cloth, snow, and other materials
that are poor reflectors of ultrasonic
waves
●Objects which are not perpendicular to
the ground, are not perpendicular to the
traveling direction of the vehicle, are
uneven or are waving
●Low objects
●Thin objects such as wires, fences, ropes
and signposts
●Objects that are extremely close to the
bumper
■Intuitive parking assist buzzer
Regardless of whether the intuitive parking
assist system is enabled or not ( P.206), if
the Parking Support Brake function (static
objects) is enabled ( P.219), the front or
rear sensors detect an object and brake control is performed, the intuitive parking
assist buzzer will sound to notify the driver
of the approximate distance to the object.
■Situations in which the Parking Support
Brake function (static objects) may
operate even if there is no possibility of a
collision
In some situations, such as the following, the
Parking Support Brake function (static
objects) may operate even though there is
no possibility of a collision.

• When driving on a gravel road or in an area with tall grass
• When driving toward a banner, flag, low- hanging branch or boom barrier (such as
those used at railroad crossings, toll gates
and parking lots)
• When driving on a narrow path sur-
rounded by a structure, such as in a tun-
nel or on an iron bridge
• When parallel parking
• When there is a rut or hole in the surface
of the road
• When driving on a metal cover (grating),
such as those used for drainage ditches
