WARNING
■Handling the suspension
Do not modify the suspension, as
changes to the height or inclination of the
vehicle may prevent the sensors from
detecting objects correctly or cause the
system to not operate or operate unnec-
essarily.
■If the Parking Support Brake function
(static objects) operates unnecessar-
ily, such as at a railroad crossing
In the event that the Parking Support
Brake function (static objects) operates
unnecessarily, such as at a railroad cross-
ing, brake control w ill be canceled after
approximately 2 seconds, allowing you
to proceed forward and leave the area,
brake control can also be canceled by
depressing the brake pedal. Depressing
the accelerator pedal after brake control
is canceled will allow you to proceed for-
ward and leave the area.
■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.
■When to disable the Parking Support
Brake
In the following situations, disable the
Parking Support Brake as the system
may operate even though there is no
possibility of a collision.
●When inspecting the vehicle using a
chassis roller, chassis dynamo or free
roller

traveling direction of the vehicle.
■Re-enabling the Parking Support Brake
function (static objects)
 P.262
■Detection range of the Parking Support
Brake function (static objects)
The detection range of the Parking Support
Brake function (static objects) differs from
the detection range of the intuitive parking
assist. ( P.250) Therefore, even if the intu-
itive parking assist detects an object and
provides a warning, the Parking Support
Brake function (static objects) may not start
operating.
■Objects that the Parking Support Brake
function (static obje cts) may not detect
The sensors may not be able to detect cer-
tain objects, such as the following:

the ground, are not perpendicular to the
traveling direction of the vehicle, are
uneven or are waving
●Low objects
●Thin objects such as wires, fences, ropes
and signposts
●Objects that are extremely close to the
bumper
●Sharply-angled objects
●Tall objects with upper sections project-
ing outwards in the direction of your vehi-
cle
■Situation in which the Parking Support
Brake function (static objects) may not
operate
When driving with the shift lever in N.
■Intuitive parking assist buzzer
Regardless of whether the intuitive parking
assist system is enabled or not ( P.248), if
the Parking Support Brake function (static
objects) is enabled ( P.259), the front or
rear sensors detect an object and brake
control is performed, the intuitive parking
assist buzzer will sound to notify the driver
of the approximate distance to the object.
■Situations in which the Parking Support
Brake function (static objects) may
operate even if there is no possibility of a
collision
In some situations, such as the following, the
Parking Support Brake function (static
objects) may operate even though there is
no possibility of a collision.
●Vehicle surroundings
• When driving on a narrow road
• When driving on a gravel road or in an area with tall grass
• When driving toward a banner, flag, low-hanging branch or boom barrier
(such as those used at railroad crossings,

be achievable while driving on slippery
road surfaces, even if the TRAC/VSC
system is operating. Drive the vehicle
carefully in conditions where stability and
power may be lost.
■Active Cornering Assist does not
operate effectively when
●Do not overly rely on Active Corner-
ing Assist. Active Cornering Assist
may not operate effectively when
accelerating down slopes or driving on
slippery road surfaces.
●When Active Cornering Assist fre-
quently operates, Active Cornering
Assist may temporarily stop operating
to ensure proper operation of the
brakes, TRAC and VSC.
■Hill-start assist control does not oper-
ate effectively when
●Do not overly rely on hill-start assist
control. Hill-start assist control may
not operate effectively on steep
inclines and roads covered with ice.
●Unlike the parking brake, hill-start
assist control is not intended to hold
the vehicle stationary for an extended
period of time. Do not attempt to use
hill-start assist control to hold the vehi-
cle on an incline, as doing so may lead
to an accident.
■When the TRAC/VSC/Trailer Sway
Control is activated
The slip indicator light flashes. Always
drive carefully. Re ckless driving may
cause an accident. Exercise particular
care when the indicator light flashes.
■When the TRAC/VSC/Trailer Sway
Control systems are turned off
●Be especially careful and drive at a
speed appropriate to the road condi-
tions. As these are the systems to help
ensure vehicle stab ility and driving
force, do not turn the
TRAC/VSC/Trailer Sway Control sys-
tems off unless necessary.
●Trailer Sway Control is part of the VSC
system and will not operate if VSC is
turned off or experiences a malfunc-
tion.
■Replacing tires
Make sure that all ti res are of the speci-
fied size, brand, tread pattern and total
load capacity. In addition, make sure that
the tires are inflated to the recom-
mended tire inflation pressure level.
The ABS, TRAC, Trailer Sway Control
and VSC systems will not function cor-
rectly if different tire s are installed on the
vehicle.
Contact your Lexus dealer for further
information when replacing tires or
wheels.
■Handling of tires and the suspension
Using tires with any kind of problem or
modifying the suspensi on will affect the
driving assist systems, and may cause a
system to malfunction.
■Trailer Sway Control precaution
The Trailer Sway Control system is not
able to reduce trailer sway in all situa-
tions. Depending on many factors such
as the conditions of the vehicle, trailer,
road surface and driving environment,
the Trailer Sway Control system may not
be effective. Refer to your trailer owner’s
manual for information on how to tow
your trailer properly.
