WARNING
■When the Pop Up Hood is operated
●Do not pull the hood lock release lever.
Doing so after the Pop Up Hood has
operated will further raise the hood
and may cause an injury. Do not drive
with the hood raised, as doing so may
block the driver’s vision, possibly caus-
ing an accident.
●Do not forcibly push down the hood.
As the popped up hood cannot be
lowered by hand, doing so may deform
the hood or cause an injury.
●If the Pop Up Hood has operated, have
it replaced by your Lexus dealer. If the
Pop Up Hood has operated, stop the
vehicle in a safe place and contact
your Lexus dealer.
●Do not touch the lifters immediately
after the Pop Up Hood has operated,
as the lifters may be hot and burn you.
NOTICE
■Pop Up Hood precautions
●Make sure to close the hood before
driving, as the system may not operate
properly if the hood is not fully closed.
●Make sure that all 4 tires are of the
specified size and inflated to the speci-
fied tire pressure. If tires of a different
size are used, the system may not
operate properly.
●If something has hit the area around
the front bumper, the sensors may be
damaged even if the Pop Up Hood has
not operated. Have the vehicle
inspected by your Lexus dealer.
●Do not remove or repair the parts or
wiring of the Pop Up Hood, as doing
so may cause accidental operation or
prevent the system from operating
properly. If repair or replacement is
necessary, contact your Lexus dealer.
●Do not remove such components as
the front bumper, hood or suspension,
or replace them with non-genuine
parts, as doing so may prevent the sys-
tem from operating properly.
●Do not install anything to the front
bumper or hood, as doing so may pre-
vent the sensors fr om detecting an
impact correctly and prevent the sys-
tem from operating properly.
●Do not close the hood with force or
apply load to the lifters, as doing so
may damage the lifters and prevent the
system from operating properly.
●Do not modify the suspension, as
changes made to the vehicle height
may prevent the system from operat-
ing properly.

Drive information

1984-5. Using the driving support systems
• The vehicle is wobbling.
• The vehicle is being driven at extremely high speeds.
• When driving on a hill
• If the radar sensor or camera sensor is misaligned
●In some situations such 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
●Some pedestrians such as the following
may not be detected by the radar sensor
and camera sensor, preventing the sys-
tem from operating properly:
• Pedestrians shorter than approximately 3.2 ft. (1 m) or tall er than approximately
6.5 ft. (2 m)
• Pedestrians wearing oversized clothing (a rain coat, long skirt, etc.), making their
silhouette obscure
• Pedestrians who are carrying large bag- gage, holding an umbrella, etc., hiding
part of their body
• Pedestrians who are bending forward or squatting
• Pedestrians who are pushing a stroller, wheelchair, bicycle or other vehicle
• Groups of pedestrians which are close
together
• Pedestrians who are wearing white and look extremely bright
• Pedestrians in the dark, such as at night or while in a tunnel
• Pedestrians whose clothing appears to
be nearly the same co lor or brightness as
their surroundings
• Pedestrians near walls , fences, guardrails,
or large objects
• Pedestrians who are on a metal object (manhole cover, steel plate, etc.) on the
road
• Pedestrians who are walking fast
• Pedestrians who are changing speed abruptly • Pedestrians running out from behind a
vehicle or a large object

■If the PCS warning light flashes or illumi-
nates and a warning message is dis-
played on the multi-information display
The pre-collision system may be temporar-
ily unavailable or there may be a malfunc-
tion in the system.
●In the following situations, the warning
light will turn off, the message will disap-
pear and the system will become opera-
tional when normal operating conditions
return:
• When the radar sensor or camera sensor
or the area around either sensor is hot,
such as in the sun
• When the radar sensor or camera sensor
or the area around either sensor is cold,
such as in an extremely cold environment
• When a front sensor is dirty or covered
with snow, etc.
• When the part of the windshield in front of the camera sensor is fogged up or cov-
ered with condensation or ice (Defog-
ging the windshield: P.253)
• If the camera sensor is obstructed, such
as when the hood is open or a sticker is
attached to the windshield near the cam-
era sensor
●If the PCS warning light continues to flash
or remains illuminated or the warning
message does not disappear even
though the vehicle has returned to nor-
mal, the system may be malfunctioning.
Have the vehicle inspected by your Lexus
dealer immediately.

lision brake assist and pre-collision brak-
ing functions are also disabled.
