●In the following situations, if the situation has changed (or the vehicle has been driven for 
some time) and the normal operating conditions are detected, the message will disappear 
and the system will  become operational. 
If the message does not disappea r, contact your Lexus dealer.
When the temperature around the radar sensor is outside of the operational range, such as 
when the vehicle is in the sun or in an extremely cold environment
When the front camera cannot detect objects in fr ont of the vehicle, such as when driving in 
the dark, snow, or fog, or when bright  lights are shining into the front camera
When the temperature around the front 
camera is outside of the operational range, 
such as when the vehicle is in the sun or in an 
extremely cold environment
If the front camera is hot, such as after the 
vehicle had been parked in the sun, use the 
air conditioning system  to decrease the tem-
perature around the front camera. 
If a sunshade was used when the vehicle was 
parked, depending on its type, the sunlight 
reflected from the surface of the sunshade 
may cause the temperature of the front cam-
era to become excessively high.
If the front camera is  cold, such after the 
vehicle is parked in an extremely cold envi-
ronment, use the air conditioning system to 
increase the temperature around the front 
camera. 
The area in front of the front camera is 
obstructed, such as when the hood is open 
or a sticker is attached  to the part of the 
windshield in front of the front camera.
Close the hood, remove the sticker, etc. to 
clear the obstruction.

●The following situations may occur 
during use.
• Depending on the shape of the object 
and other factors, the detection distance 
may shorten, or detection may be impos-
sible.
• There will be a short delay between  object detection and display. Even at low 
speeds, there is a possibility that the 
object will come within the sensor’s 
detection areas before the display is 
shown and the warning beep sounds.
• It might be difficult to hear the buzzer due  to the volume of the audio system or air 
flow noise of the air conditioning system.
■Conditions under which the function 
may not function correctly
Certain vehicle conditions and the sur-
rounding environment may affect the ability 
of a sensor to correctly  detect objects. Par-
ticular instances where this may occur are 
listed below.
●There is dirt, snow or ice on a sensor. 
(Cleaning the sensors will resolve this 
problem.)
●A sensor is frozen. (Thawing the area will 
resolve this problem.) 
In especially cold weather, if a sensor is 
frozen the sensor display may be dis-
played abnormally, or objects, such as a 
wall, may not be detected.
●A sensor is covered in any way.
●When a sensor or the area around a sen-
sor is extremely hot or cold.
●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.
●A sensor is coated with a sheet of spray 
or heavy rain.
●If a sensor is hit by a large amount of 
water, such as when driving on a flooded 
road.
●If the vehicle is significantly tilted.
●The vehicle is approaching a tall or 
curved curb.
●If objects draw too close to the sensor.
■Objects which may not be properly 
detected
The shape of the object may prevent the 
sensor from detectin g it. Pay particular 
attention to the following objects:
●Wires, fences, ropes, etc.
●Cotton, snow and other materials that 
absorb sound waves
●Sharply-angled objects
●Low objects
●Tall objects with upper sections project-
ing outwards in the direction of your vehi-
cle
People may not be de tected if they are 
wearing certain types of clothing.

• When backing out of a shallow angle parking spot

Except F SPORT models
F SPORT models
1 Normal mode
Provides an optimal ba lance of fuel econ-
omy, quietness, and dynamic performance.
Suitable for city driving.
Press the switch to change the Normal 
mode when not in Normal mode.
2 Eco drive mode
Helps the driver acce lerate in an eco-
friendly manner and  improve fuel economy 
through moderate thro ttle characteristics 
and by controlling the operation of the air 
conditioning system (heating/cooling).
When not in Eco drive mode, if the driving 
mode select switch is turned toward you, 
Driving mode select switch
The driving modes  can be selected 
to suit driving condition.

2444-5. Using the driving support systems
the “Eco” indicator comes on.
3Sport mode
Assists acceleration  response by con-
trolling the transmission, engine and steer-
ing. Suitable for when precise handling is 
desirable, for example when driving on 
mountain roads.
When not in Sport mode, if the driving 
mode select switch is turned backward, the 
“Sport” indicator comes on.
■Operation of the air conditioning sys-
tem in Eco drive mode
Eco drive mode controls the heating/cool-
ing operations and fan speed of the air con-
ditioning system to enhance fuel efficiency. 
To improve air condit ioning performance, 
perform the following operations:
●Turn off eco air conditioning mode 
(  P.264)
●Adjust the fan speed ( P.262, 265)
●Turn off Eco drive mode
■Automatic deactivation of Sport mode
If the engine switch is  turned off after driv-
ing in Sport mode, the driving mode will be 
changed to Normal mode.
■Driving mode pop-up display (vehicles 
with 10.3-inch display model)
When the driving mode is changed, the 
selected driving mode will be temporarily 
displayed on the side display. ( P.259)
■ABS (Anti-lock Brake System)
Helps to prevent wheel lock when the 
brakes are applied suddenly, or if the 
brakes are applied while driving on a 
slippery road surface
■Brake assist
Generates an increased level of brak-
ing force after the brake pedal is 
depressed when the system detects a 
panic stop situation.
■VSC (Vehicle Stability Control)
Helps the driver to  control skidding 
when swerving sudden ly or turning on 
slippery road surfaces
■Enhanced VSC (Enhanced Vehi-
cle Stability Control)
Provides cooperative control of the 
ABS, TRAC, VSC and EPS.
Helps to maintain directional stability 
when swerving on slippery road sur-
faces by controlling steering perfor-
mance.
Driving assist systems
To keep driving safety and perfor-
mance, the following systems oper-
ate automatically in response to 
various driving situations. Be aware, 
however, that these systems are 
supplementary and should not be 
relied upon too heavily when oper-
ating the vehicle.
