2804-5. Using the driving support systems
GS450h_300h_OM_OM30F92E_(EE) 
• After the hybrid system has started the vehicle has not been driven for a certain amount of time• While making a left/right turn and for a  few seconds after making a left/right turn 
• While driving on a curve and for a few seconds after driving on a curve • If your vehicle is skidding 
• If the wheels are misaligned • If a wiper blade is blocking the camera sensor 
• The vehicle is wobbling. • 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 system from operating properly*4: 
• Pedestrians shorter than approximately 1 m (3 .2 ft.) or taller than approximately 2 m 
(6.5 ft.) • Pedestrians wearing oversized clothing (a rain  coat, long skirt, etc.), making their sil- houette obscure 
• Pedestrians who are carrying large baggage, holding an umbrella, etc., hiding part of their body• Pedestrians who are bending forward or squatting 
• Pedestrians who are pushing a stroller , wheelchair, bicycle or other vehicle • Groups of pedestrians which are close together• Pedestrians who are wearing white and look extremely bright 
• Pedestrians in the dark, such as at night or while in a tunnel • Pedestrians whose clothing appears to be nearly the same color or brightness astheir surroundings 
• Pedestrians near walls, fences, guardrails, or large objects • Pedestrians who are on a metal object (manhole cover, steel plate, etc.) on the road• Pedestrians who are walking fast 
• Pedestrians who are changing speed abruptly • Pedestrians running out from be hind a vehicle or a large object • Pedestrians who are extremely close to the side of the vehicle (outside rear view

Winter driving tips
●Use fluids that are appropriate to the prevailing outside temperatures.  
•Engine oil 
• Engine/power control unit coolant 
•Washer fluid
●Have a service technician inspect the condition of the 12-volt battery.
●Have the vehicle fitted with four snow tires or purchase a set of tire chains for 
the rear tires.*
Ensure that all tires are the specified size and brand, and that chains match the size of the tires.
*: Tire chains cannot be mounted on vehicles with front and rear tires of differing 
sizes and vehicles with LDH and 19 inch tires
Perform the following according to the driving conditions: 
●Do not try to forcibly open a window or move a wiper that is frozen. Pour 
warm water over the frozen area to melt the ice. Wipe away the water imme- 
diately to prevent it from freezing. 
●To ensure proper operation of the climate control system fan, remove any 
snow that has accumulated on the air inlet vents in front of the windshield. 
●Check for and remove any excess ice or snow that may have accumulated on
the exterior lights, vehicle’s roof, chassis, around the tires or on the brakes.
●Remove any snow or mud from the bottom of your shoes before getting in the 
vehicle.
Carry out the necessary preparations an d inspections before driving the vehi- 
cle in winter. Always drive the vehicle in a manner appropriate to the prevail- 
ing weather conditions.

3384-6. Driving tips
GS450h_300h_OM_OM30F92E_(EE)
WARNING
■Driving with snow tires 
Observe the following precautions to reduce the risk of accidents.  Failure to do so may result in a loss of vehicle control and cause death or serious injury.
●Use tires of the specified size.
●Maintain the recommended  level of air pressure.
●Do not drive at speeds in excess of the speed limit or the speed limit specified for the 
snow tires being used.
●Use snow tires on all, not just some wheels.
■Driving with tire chains (vehicles with front  and rear tires of the same size except for 
the vehicles with LDH and 19 inch tires) 
Observe the following precautions to reduce the risk of accidents.  Failure to do so may result in the vehicle  being unable to be driven safely, and may 
cause death or serious injury.
●Do not drive in excess of the speed limit sp ecified for the tire chains being used, or 50 km/h (30 mph), whichever is lower.
●Avoid driving on bumpy road surfaces or over potholes.
●Avoid sudden acceleration, abrupt steerin g, sudden braking and shifting operations that cause sudden engine braking.
●Slow down sufficiently before entering a curve to ensure that vehicle control is main-tained.
●Do not use LKA (Lane-Keeping Assist) system. (if equipped)
NOTICE
■Repairing or replacing snow tires 
Request repairs or replacement of snow ti res from Lexus dealers or legitimate tire 
retailers. This is because the removal and attachment of snow tires affects the operation of thetire pressure warning va lves and transmitters.
■Fitting tire chains (vehicles with front and rear tires of the same size except for the vehicles with LDH and 19 inch tires) 
The tire pressure warning valves and transmitters may not function correctly when tire 
chains are fitted.
■When standing the windshield wipers up 
Raise the wipers in line with the windshield. ( P. 337)  
Failure to do so may result in damage to the wipers and/or the hood.
