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.

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

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 .

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 .

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.
