■Lane change assist function (vehicles
with Lexus Safety System + A)
Depending on the vehicle speed, vehicle
condition, road conditions, or conditions of
the area around the vehicle, the lane
change assist function may not operate or it
may be difficult to recognize that it has
operated.
If steering control oper ation is excessive or
insufficient, it can be corrected by the
driver’s operation of the steering wheel.
In situations such as the following, the lane
change assist function may be canceled:
●When the system no longer detects white
(yellow) lane lines
●When the turn signal lever is operated
fully (right/left turn position)

operational range of the function
●When the system detects operation of
the steering wheel, brake or accelerator
pedal by the driver
While the lane change assist function is

2444-5. Using the driving support systems
LS500h_OM_(U)_1809operating, if the system detects that a vehi-
cle is quickly approaching in the lane
toward which the turn signal is operated,
the steering assist may slightly steer the
vehicle away from the lane while a buzzer is
sounding, the steering
wheel is vibrating,
and a warning display is displayed on the
multi-information display, to help prevent
the vehicle from entering the lane and alert
the driver of the approaching vehicle.
■Hands off steering wheel alert
In the following situations, a warning mes-
sage urging the driver to hold the steering
wheel and the symbol shown in the illustra-
tion are displayed on the multi-information
display to warn the driver. The warning
stops when the system determines that the
driver holds the steering wheel. Always
keep your hands on the steering wheel
when using this system, regardless of warn-
ings.
Depending on the vehicle condition and
road conditions, the warning may not oper-
ate. Also, if the system determines that the
vehicle is driving around a curve, warnings
will occur earlier than during straight-lane
driving.
●When the system determines that the
driver is driving without holding the steer-
ing wheel while the sy stem is operating
If the driver continue s to keep their hands
off of the steering wheel, the buzzer
sounds, the driver is warned and the func-
tion is temporarily ca nceled. This warning
also operates in the same way when the
driver continuously operates the steering
wheel only a small amount.
The buzzer also sounds even if the alert
type is set to .
●When the system determines that the
vehicle may not turn and instead depart
from its lane while driving around a curve
(vehicles with Lexus Safety System + 2.0)
●When the system determines that the
driver is driving with out holding the steer-
ing wheel while the st eering wheel assist
of the steering assist function is operating
(vehicles with Lexus Safety System + 2.0)
If the driver continues to keep their hands
off of the steering wheel and the steering
wheel assist is operating, the buzzer
sounds and the driver is warned. Each time
the buzzer sounds, the continuing time of
the buzzer becomes longer.
The buzzer also sounds even if the alert
type is set to .

●If something is attached to the steering
wheel.
●If the driver is gripping the wood trim,
stitched area, spokes, or other part of the
steering wheel that does not have sen-
sors.
In situations such as the following, the hands
off steering wheel alert may not operate
and the steering assist function and lane
centering function may operate even if the
driver’s hands are off the steering wheel
(vehicles with Lexus Safety System + A):
●If an object contacts the steering wheel.
●If a wide object or ar ms are held in front
of the steering wheel.
■Vehicle sway warning function
When the system determines that the vehi-
cle is swaying while the vehicle sway warn-
ing function is operating, a buzzer sounds

accelerator pedal operation, to the
desired vehicle speed (at or above
approximately 20 mph [30 km/h])
and press the “-SET” switch to set
the speed.
Cruise control “SET” indicator will come

off, press the “+RES” switch.
Your vehicle will also resume follow-up
cruising if the accelerator pedal is
depressed after the vehicle ahead of
you starts off. 1
Pressing the cancel switch cancels
the speed control.The speed control is also canceled when
the brake pedal is depressed. (When the
vehicle has been stopped by system con-
trol, depressing the brake pedal does not
cancel the setting.)
2Pressing the “+RES” switch
resumes the cruise control and
returns vehicle speed to the set
speed.
When your vehicle is too close to a
vehicle ahead, and sufficient automatic
deceleration via the cruise control is
not possible, the display will flash and
the buzzer will sound to alert the driver.
An example of this would be if another
driver cuts in front of you while you are
following a vehicle. Depress the brake
pedal to ensure an appropriate vehi-
cle-to-vehicle distance.

*:If equipped
The RSA system recognizes specific
road signs using the front camera
and/or navigation system (when data is
available) to provide information to the
driver via the display.
When the front camera recognizes a
sign and/or informat ion of a sign is available from navigation system, the
sign will be displayed on the
multi-information display.

When the Driving support system
information display is selected, a
maximum of 3 signs can be dis-
played. ( P.90)
 When a tab other than the Driving

is selected, only a recognized speed
limit sign or do not enter sign (when
notification is necessary) will be dis-
played. ( P.90)
If signs other than speed limit signs are rec-
ognized, they will be displayed in an over-
lapping stack under th e current speed limit
