WARNING
■If a safety system warning light does
not come on
Should a safety system light such as the
ABS and SRS warning light not come on
when you start the hybrid system, this
could mean that these systems are not
available to help protect you in an acci-
dent, which could result in death or seri-
ous injury. Have the vehicle inspected by
your Lexus dealer immediately if this
occurs.

Driving
*:If equipped
■Intuitive parking assist
Ultrasonic sensors are used to detect
static objects in the detection area
when driving at a low speed or backing
up. ( P.216)
■RCTA (Rear Cross Traffic Alert)
function (if equipped)
Rear side radar sensors are used to
detect approaching vehicles in the
detection areas behind the vehicle
when backing up. ( P.222)
■RCD (Rear camera detection)
function (if equipped)
A rear camera sensor is used to detect
pedestrians in the detection area
behind the vehicle when backing up.
( P.226)
■Adjusting the buzzer volume
The buzzer volume can be adjusted on
the multi-information display. The vol-

PKSA (Parking Support
Alert)*
The Parking Support Alert system
consists of the following functions
that operate when driving at a low
speed or backing up, such as when
parking. When the system deter-
mines that the possibility of a colli-
sion with a detected object, such as
a wall, or pedestrian is high, a warn-
ing operates to urge the driver to
take evasive action.

WARNING
■Cautions regarding the use of the
function
The driver is solely responsible for safe
driving. Always driv e safely, taking care
to observe your surroundings.
The RCTA function is only a supplemen-
tary function which alerts the driver that a
vehicle is approaching from the right or
left at the rear of the vehicle. As the
RCTA function may not function cor-
rectly under certain conditions, the
driver’s own visual confirmation of safety
is necessary. Over reli ance on this func-
tion may lead to an accident resulting
death or serious injury.
NOTICE
■Before using the RCTA function
Do not place obstacles near the sensors.
