321-1. For safe use
Rear side airbags
Side impact sensors (front door)
Your vehicle is equipped with ADVANCED AIRBAGS designed based on the US 
motor vehicle safety standards (FMVSS208). The airbag sensor assembly (ECU) 
controls airbag deployment  based on information obtained from the sensors etc. 
shown in the system components diagram  above. This information includes crash 
severity and occupant information. As the airbags deploy, a chemical reaction in 
the inflators quickly fills the airbags with no n-toxic gas to help restrain the motion of 
the occupants.
■If the SRS airbags deploy (inflate)
●Slight abrasions, burns, bruising etc., may 
be sustained from SRS airbags, due to the 
extremely high speed deployment (infla-
tion) by hot gases.
●A loud noise and white powder will be 
emitted.
●Parts of the airbag module (steering 
wheel hub, airbag cover and inflator) as 
well as the front seat s, parts of the front 
and rear pillars, and roof side rails, may 
be hot for several minutes. The airbag 
itself may also be hot.
●The windshield may crack.
●All of the doors will be unlocked. 
(  P.99)
●The brakes and stop lights will be con-
trolled automatically. ( P.245)
●The interior lights will turn on automati-
cally. ( P.275)
●The emergency flashers will turn on auto-
matically. ( P.350)
●Fuel supply to the engine will be stopped. 
( P.357)
●For Lexus Enform Safety Connect sub-
scribers, if any of the following situations 
occur, the system is designed to send an 
emergency call to the response center, 
notifying them of the vehicle’s location 
(without needing to push the “SOS” but-
ton) and an agent will attempt to speak 
with the occupants to ascertain the level 
of emergency and assi stance required. If 
the occupants are unable to communi-
cate, the agent automatically treats the  call as an emergency and helps to dis-
patch the necessary emergency services. 
(
 P.56)
• An SRS airbag is deployed.
• A seat belt pretensioner is activated.
• The vehicle is involved in a severe rear- end collision.
■SRS airbag deployment  conditions (SRS 
front airbags)
●The SRS front airbags will deploy in the 
event of an impact that exceeds the set 
threshold level (the  level of force corre-
sponding to an approximately 12 - 18 
mph [20 - 30 km/h] frontal collision with 
a fixed wall that does not move or 
deform).
However, this threshold velocity will be con-
siderably higher in the following situations:
• If the vehicle strikes an object, such as a  parked vehicle or sign pole, which can 
move or deform on impact
• If the vehicle is involved in an underride 
collision, such as a collision in which the 
front of the vehicle underrides, or goes 
under, the bed of a truck
●Depending on the type of collision, it is 
possible that only the seat belt preten-
sioners will activate.
●The SRS front airbags for the front pas-
senger will not activate if there is no pas-
senger sitting in the front passenger seat. 
However, the SRS front airbags for the 
front passenger may deploy if luggage is 
put in the seat, even if the seat is unoccu-
pied.

1  The side marker, parking, tail, 
license plate, instrument panel 
lights, and daytime running lights 
( P.165) turn on.
2  The headlights and all the 
lights listed above (except daytime 
running lights) turn on.
3  The headlights, daytime run-
ning lights ( P.165) and all the  lights listed above turn on and off 
automatically.
4  (U.S.A.) Off 
 (Canada) The daytime running 
lights turn on.
■AUTO mode can be used when
The engine switch is in ON.
■Daytime running light system
●The daytime running lights illuminate the 
parking lights and illuminate brighter than 
the parking lights.
●To make your vehicle more visible to 
other drivers during daytime driving, the 
daytime running lights turn on automati-
cally when all of the  following conditions 
are met. (The daytime running lights are 
not designed for use at night.)
• The engine is running
• The parking brake is released
• The headlight switch  is in the   (Can-
ada only),   or   (when the sur-
roundings are bright) position
The daytime running lights remain on after 
they illuminate due to the conditions above, 
even if the parking brake is set again.
●For the U.S.A.: Daytime running lights 
can be turned off by operating the head-
light switch to   position.
●Compared to turning on the headlights, 
the daytime running light system offers 
greater durability and consumes less 
electricity, so it can help improve fuel 
economy.
■Headlight control sensor
The sensor may not function properly if an 
object is placed on the sensor, or anything 
that blocks the sensor is affixed to the wind-
shield.
Doing so interferes with the sensor detect-
ing the level of ambien t light and may cause 
the automatic headlight system to malfunc-
tion.

1864-5. Using the driving support systems
The system can detect the following:
Vehicles
 Bicyclists
 Pedestrians
■Pre-collision warning
When the system determines that the 
possibility of a frontal collision is high, a 
buzzer will sound and a warning mes-
sage will be displayed on the multi-
information display to urge the driver  to take evasive action.
■Pre-collision brake assist
When the system determines that the 
possibility of a frontal collision is high, 
the system applies greater braking 
force in relation to how strongly the 
brake pedal is depressed.
■Pre-collision braking
If the system determines that the possi-
bility of a frontal collision is extremely 
high, the brakes are automatically 
applied to help avoid the collision or 
reduce the impact of the collision.
PCS (Pre-Collision System)
The pre-collision system uses a 
radar sensor and front camera to 
detect objects ( P.186) in front of 
the vehicle. When the system 
determines that the possibility of a 
frontal collision with an object is 
high, a warning operates to urge 
the driver to take evasive action 
and the potential brake pressure is 
increased to help the driver avoid 
the collision. If the system deter-
mines that the possibility of a frontal 
collision with an object is extremely 
high, the brakes are automatically 
applied to help avoid the collision or 
help reduce the impact of the colli-
sion.
The pre-collision system can be dis-
abled/enabled and the warning tim-
ing can be changed. ( P.188)

■Limitations of the pre-collision system
●The driver is solely responsible for safe 
driving. Always drive safely, taking 
care to observe your surroundings. Do 
not use the pre-collision system 
instead of normal braking operations 
under any circumstances. This system 
will not prevent collisions or lessen col-
lision damage or injury in every situa-
tion. Do not overly rely on this system. 
Failure to do so may lead to an acci-
dent, resulting in death or serious 
injury.

aligned●In some situations su ch 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

If vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode 
is automatically canceled for any reasons 
other than the above, there may be a mal- function in the system. Contact your Lexus 
dealer.
■Automatic cancelation of constant 
speed control mode
Constant speed control mode is automati-
cally canceled in the following situations:
●Actual vehicle speed is more than 
approximately 10 mph (16 km/h) below 
the set vehicle speed.
●Actual vehicle speed falls below approxi-
mately 20 mph (30 km/h).
●VSC is activated.
●TRAC is activated for a period of time.
●When the VSC or TRAC system is 
turned off.
●Pre-collision braking is activated.
If constant speed control mode is automati-
cally canceled for any reasons other than 
the above, there may be a malfunction in the 
system. Contact your Lexus dealer.
■Brake operation
A brake operation sound may be heard and 
the brake pedal response may change, but 
these are not malfunctions.
■Warning messages and buzzers for 
dynamic radar cruise control with full-
speed range
Warning messages and buzzers are used to 
indicate a system malfunction or to inform 
the driver of the need for caution while driv-
ing. If a warning messa ge is shown on the 
multi-information displa y, read the message 
and follow the instructions. ( P.184, 367)
■When the sensor may not be correctly 
detecting the vehicle ahead
In the case of the fo llowing and depending 
on the conditions, operate the brake pedal 
when deceleration of  the system is insuffi-
cient or operate the accelerator pedal 
when acceleration is required. 
As the sensor may not be able to correctly 
detect these types of vehicles, the approach 
warning ( P.210) may not be activated.

■Conditions under which the vehicle-to-
vehicle distance control mode may not 
function correctly
In the case of the following conditions, 
operate the brake pedal (or accelerator 
pedal, depending on the situation) as nec-
essary. 
As the sensor may not be able to correctly 
detect vehicles ahead, the system may not 
operate properly.
●When the road curves or when the lanes  are narrow
●When steering wheel operation or your 
position in the lane is unstable
●When the vehicle ahead of you deceler-
ates suddenly
●When driving on a road surrounded by a 
structure, such as in a tunnel or on a

ates by depressing the accelerator pedal 

2224-5. Using the driving support systems
■The system can be operated when
●The engine switch is in ON.
●Intuitive parking assist function is on.
●The vehicle speed is less than about 6 
mph (10 km/h).
●The shift lever is in a position other than P.
■Setting the buzzer volume
The buzzer volume can be adjusted on the 
multi-information display. ( P.219)
■If “Parking Assist Unavailable Clean 
Parking Assist Sensor” is displayed on 
the multi-information display
A sensor may be covered with ice, snow, 
dirt, etc. Remove the ice, snow, dirt, etc., 
from the sensor to return the system to nor-
mal.
Also, due to ice forming on a sensor at low 
temperatures, a warning message may be 
displayed or the sensor may not be able to 
detect an object. Once the ice melts, the 
system will return to normal.
■Sensor detection information
●The sensor’s detectio n areas are limited 
to the areas around the vehicle’s front and 
rear bumpers.
WARNING
●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.
●The area directly under the bumpers is 
not detected.
■When to disable the function
In the following situations, disable the 
function as it may operate even though 
there is no possibility of a collision.
●The vehicle is equipped with a fender 
pole or wireless antenna.
●The front or rear bu mper or a sensor 
receives a strong impact.
●A non-genuine Lexus suspension 
(lowered suspension, etc.) is installed.
●Towing eyelet is installed.
●A backlit license plate is installed.
■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 or shows continuously, 
and a beep sounds when no objects 
are detected.
●If the area around a sensor collides 
with something, or is subjected to 
strong impact.
●If the bumper or grille collides with 
something.
●If the display flashes or is displayed 
continuously and a buzzer does not 
sound, except when the mute function 
has been turned on.
●If a display error oc curs, first check the 
sensor. 
If the error occurs even when 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.
●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.
