After the vehicle ahead of you starts
off, push the lever up.
Your vehicle will also resume follow-up
cruising if the accelerator pedal is
depressed after the vehicle ahead of
you starts off.1
Pulling the lever toward you can-
cels the speed control.
The speed control is also canceled when
the brake pedal is depressed.
(When the vehicle has been stopped by
system control, depressing the brake pedal
does not cancel the setting.)
2Pushing the lever up resumes the
cruise control and returns vehicle
speed to the set speed.
However, when a vehicle ahead is not
detected, cruise control does not resume
when the vehicle speed is approximately
25 mph (40 km/h) or less.
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.

●Vehicle speed is at or above approxi-
mately 30 mph (50 km/h).
However, when a preceding vehicle is
detected, the dynamic radar cruise con-
trol with full-speed range can be set even
if the vehicle speed is below approxi-
mately 30 mph (50 km/h).
■Accelerating after setting the vehicle
speed
The vehicle can accelerate by operating the
accelerator pedal. After accelerating, the
set speed resumes. However, during vehi-
cle-to-vehicle distance control mode, the
vehicle speed may decrease below the set
speed in order to maintain the distance to
the preceding vehicle.
■When the vehicle stops while follow-up
cruising
●Pushing the lever up while the vehicle
ahead stops will resume follow-up cruis-
ing if the vehicle ahead starts off within
approximately 3 seconds after the lever
is pushed up.
●If the vehicle ahead starts off within 3 sec-
onds after your vehicle stops, follow-up
cruising will be resumed.
■Automatic cancelation of vehicle-to-
vehicle distance control mode
Vehicle-to-vehicle dist ance control mode is
automatically canceled in the following situ-
ations:
●Actual vehicle speed falls at or below
approximately 25 mph (40 km/h) when
there are no vehicles ahead.
●The preceding vehicle leaves the lane
when your vehicle is following at a vehicle
speed at or below approximately 25 mph
(40 km/h). Otherwise, the sensor can
not properly detect the vehicle.
(“CRUISE NOT AVAILABLE No pre-
ceding vehicle” is displayed on the multi-
information display.)

■Sensor detectio n information
●The sensor’s detection areas are limited
to the areas around the vehicle’s bumper.
●Certain vehicle conditions and the sur-
rounding environment may affect the
ability of a sensor to correctly detect an
obstacle. Particular instances where this
may occur are listed below.
• There is dirt, snow or ice on the sensor. (Wiping the sensors will resolve this
problem.)
• The sensor is frozen. (Thawing the area will resolve this problem.)
In especially cold weather, if a sensor is
frozen the screen may show an abnormal
display, or obstacles may not be
detected.
• The sensor is covered in any way.
• The vehicle is leaning considerably to one side.
• On an extremely bumpy road, on an incline, on gravel, or on grass.
• The vicinity of the vehicle is noisy due to vehicle horns, motorcycle engines, air
brakes of large vehicles, or other loud
noises producing ultrasonic waves.
• There is another vehicle equipped with parking assist sensors in the vicinity.
• The sensor is coated with a sheet of spray or heavy rain.
• The vehicle is equipped with a fender
pole or wireless antenna.
• Towing eyelets are installed.
• The bumper or sensor receives a strong impact.
• A backlit license plate, license plate holder, etc., are installed.
• The vehicle is approaching a tall or curved curb.
• In harsh sunlight or intense cold weather.
• The area directly under the bumpers is
not detected.
• If obstacles draw too close to the sensor.
• A non-genuine Lexus suspension (low- ered suspension etc.) is installed.
• People may not be detected if they are wearing certain types of clothing.
In addition to the examples above, there are
instances in which, because of their shape,
signs and other objects may be judged by a
sensor to be closer than they are.
●The shape of the obstacle may prevent a sensor from detecting it. Pay particular
attention to the following obstacles:
• Wires, fences, ropes, etc.
• Cotton, snow and other materials that
absorb sound waves
• Sharply-angled objects
• Low obstacles
• Tall obstacles with upper sections pro- jecting outwards in the direction of your
vehicle
●The following situations may occur
during use.
• Depending on the shape of the obstacle and other factors, the detection distance
may shorten, or detection may be impos-
sible.
• Obstacles may not be detected if they
are too close to the sensor.
• There will be a short delay between obstacle detection and display. Even at
slow speeds, there is a possibility that the
obstacle will come within the sensor’s
detection areas befo re the display is
shown and the buzzer sounds.
• Thin posts or object s lower than the sen-
sor may not be detected when
approached, even if they have been
detected once.
• It might be difficult to hear beeps due to
the volume of audio system or air flow
noise of the air conditioning system.

WARNING
■When using the intuitive parking
assist
Observe the following precautions.
Failing to do so may result in the vehicle
being unable to be driven safely and pos-
sibly cause an accident.
●Do not use the sensor at speeds in
excess of 6 mph (10 km/h).
●The sensors’ detection areas and reac-
tion times are limited. When moving
forward or reversing, check the areas
surrounding the vehicle (especially the
sides of the vehicle) for safety, and
drive slowly, using the brake to control
the vehicle’s speed.
●Do not install accessories within the
sensors’ detection areas.
NOTICE
■When using intuitive parking assist
In the following situations, the system
may not function correctly due to a sen-
sor malfunction, etc. Have the vehicle
checked by your Lexus dealer.
●The intuitive parking assist operation
display flashes, and a buzzer sounds
when no obstacles are detected.
●If the area around a sensor collides
with something, or is subjected to
strong impact.
●If the bumper collides with something.
●If the display shows continuously with-
out beeping, except when the buzzer
mute switch has been turned on.
●If a display error occurs, first check the
sensor.
If the error occurs even if there is no
ice, snow or mud on the sensor, it is
likely that the sensor is malfunctioning.
■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.

■Buzzer operation and distance to
an obstacle
A buzzer sounds when the sensors are
operating. 
The buzzer sounds faster as the
vehicle approaches an obstacle.
When the vehicle comes within the
approximately 1.0 ft. (30 cm) of the
obstacle, the buzze r sounds contin-
uously.
 When 2 or more obstacles are
detected simultaneously, the buzzer
system responds to the nearest
obstacle. If one or both come within
the above distances, the beep will
repeat a long tone, followed by fast
beeps.
 Automatic buzzer mute function:
After a buzzer begins sounding, if
the distance between the vehicle
and the detected object does not
become shorter, the buzzer will be
muted automatically. (However, if
the distance between the vehicle
and object is 1.0 ft. (30 cm) or less,
this function will not operate.)
