nate.
■Conditions to turn the high beams on/off
automatically
●When all of the follo
wing conditions are
met, the high beams will be turned on
automatically (after approximately 1 sec-
ond):
• The vehicle speed is approximately 21 mph (34 km/h) or more.
• The area ahead of the vehicle is dark.
• There are no vehicles ahead with head-
lights or tail lights turned on.
• There are few streetlights on the road
ahead.
●If any of the following conditions are met,
the high beams will turn off automatically:
• The vehicle speed is below approxi- mately 17 mph (27 km/h).
• The area ahead of the vehicle is not dark.
• Vehicles ahead have their headlights or
tail lights turned on.
• There are many streetlights on the road ahead.
■Camera sensor dete ction information
●The high beams may not be automatically
turned off in the following situations:
• When a vehicle suddenly appears from
around a curve
• When the vehicle is cut in front of by another vehicle
• When vehicles ahead cannot be
detected due to repeated curves, road
dividers or roadside trees
• When vehicles ahead appear in a far-
away lane on a wide road
• When the lights of vehicles ahead are not on
AHB (Automatic High
Beam)
The Automatic High Beam uses a
camera sensor located behind the
upper portion of the windshield to
assess the brightness of the lights of
vehicles ahead, streetlights, etc.,
and automatically turns the high
beams on or off as necessary.
WARNING
■Limitations of the Automatic High
Beam
Do not overly rely on the Automatic High
Beam. Always drive sa fely, taking care to
observe your surroundings and turning
the high beams on or off manually if nec-
essary.
■To prevent incorrect operation of the
Automatic High Beam system
Do not overload the vehicle.

will operate in high speed operation. After
the vehicle is stopped, operation will return
to normal when the engine switch is turned
to IGNITION ON mode, or operation will
stop when the driver’s door is opened.
■Outside rear view mirror defogger acti-
vation linked to windshield wiper opera-
tion
The outside rear view mirror defoggers
automatically turn on when you operate the
windshield wipers.
The outside rear view mirror defoggers
automatically turn off approximately 15
minutes after the wipers stop.
For details about the outside rear view mir-
ror defoggers: P.324When the windshield wipers are not
being used, they retract to below the
hood. To enable the windshield wipers
to be lifted when parking in cold condi-
tions or when replacing a windshield
wiper insert, change the rest position of
the windshield wipers to the service
position using the wiper lever.
■Raising the wipers to the service
position
Within approximately 45 seconds of
turning the engine switch off, move the
wiper lever to the (U.S.A.) or
(Canada) position and hold it for
approximately 2 seconds or more.
The wipers will move to the service posi-
tion.
WARNING
■Caution regarding the use of wind-
shield wipers in AUTO mode
The windshield wipers may operate
unexpectedly if the sensor is touched or
the windshield is subject to vibration in
AUTO mode. Take care that your fingers
or anything else do not become caught
in the windshield wipers.
■Caution regarding the use of washer
fluid

●Intersection right/left turn assistance (pre-collision braking)
When the turn signal lights are not flashing, support for turning left or right at an intersec-
tion which targets oncoming vehicles does not work.
The system may not operate in the following situations:
●If a battery terminal has been disconnected and reconnected and then the vehicle has not
been driven for a certain amount of time
●If the shift position is in R
●When the VSC OFF indicator is illuminated (only the pedest rian alert and pre-collision
warning function will be operational)
●When there is insufficient safe or unobstructed space for the vehicle to be steered into
●When an object is approaching the area the vehicle is to be steered into
■Vehicle, pedestrian or bicyclist detec-
tion function
The pre-collision system detects vehicles,
pedestrians and bicyclists based on the size,
profile, and motion of the person. However,
a vehicle, pedestrian or bicyclist may not be
detected depending on the surrounding
brightness and the motion, posture, and
angle of the person, preventing the system
from operating properly. ( P.224)
The illustration shows an image of vehicles,
pedestrians and bicyclists.
■Cancelation of pre-collision braking
and active steering assist
If either of the following occur while the
pre-collision braking function is operating, it
will be canceled:
●The accelerator pedal is depressed
strongly.

2264-5. Using the driving support systems
emerge from behind a vehicle or large
object
• Pedestrians and bicyclists which are
extremely close to the side of the vehicle
(outside rear view mirror, etc.)
• When driving in a tr affic lane separated
by more than one lane where oncoming
vehicles are driving while making a
right/left turn
• When largely out of place with the oppo- site facing targeted oncoming vehicle
during a right/left turn
• While making a right/left turn, when a pedestrian approaches from behind or
side of your vehicle
●In some situations, such as the following,
the sensors may not detect the lane lines
or a safe space the vehicle can be steered
into, preventing the ac tive steering assist
from operating properly:
• When the white (yellow) lane lines are difficult to see, such as when they are
faint, diverging/merging, or a shadow is
cast upon them
• When the lane is more wide or narrow
than normal
• When there is a light and dark pattern on the road surface, such as due to road
repairs
• If the system determines that a collision can be avoided by only using the brakes
• When a pedestrian is detected near the
centerline of the vehicle
●In some situations such as the following, sufficient braking forc
e or steering force
may not be obtained, preventing the sys-
tem 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 there are deep ruts in the road
• When driving on a slope
• When driving on a horizontally slanted road
●Some guardrails, such as the following,
may not be detected by the sensors, pre-
venting the system from operating prop-
erly:
• Guardrails which are less than approxi- mately 1.9 ft. (60 cm) tall
• Short guardrails
• Irregularly-shaped gu ardrails (wire cable
guardrails, guardrails made of thin poles,
etc.)
• Guardrails which are not illuminated by the headlights at nigh t, in a tunnel, etc.
• Guardrails which appear to be nearly the
same color or brightness as their sur-
roundings
• Guardrails which appear to be nearly the
same shape as their surroundings (walls,
etc.)
• Guardrails which are over a metal object
(manhole cover, steel plate, etc.)
• Guardrails which are hidden behind thick grass
• Guardrails which are extremely close to the side of the vehicle (outside rear view
mirror, etc.)
• Curved guardrails or guardrails at the entrance of a curve
●In some situations su ch as the following,
the system may detect a pedestrian and
display a warning on the head-up display,
even though no pedestrian exists:
• If the front of the vehicle is raised or low- ered, such as when the road surface is
uneven or undulating (due to ruts, etc.)
• When driving on a slope
• When driving on a horizontally slanted road

WARNING
■Before using LTA system
●Do not rely solely upon the LTA sys-
tem. The LTA system does not auto-
matically drive the vehicle or reduce
the amount of attention that must be
paid to the area in front of the vehicle.
The driver must always assume full
responsibility for driving safely by pay-
ing careful attention to the surround-
ing conditions and operating the
steering wheel to correct the path of
the vehicle. Also, the driver must take
adequate breaks when fatigued, such
as from driving for a long period of
time.
●Failure to perform appropriate driving
operations and pay careful attention
may lead to an accident, resulting in
death or serious injury.
●When not using the LTA system, use
the LTA switch to turn the system off.
■Situations unsuitable for LTA system
In the following situations, use the LTA
switch to turn the system off. Failure to do
so may lead to an acc ident, resulting in
death or serious injury.
●Vehicle is driven on a road surface
which is slippery due to rainy weather,
fallen snow, freezing, etc.
●Vehicle is driven on a snow-covered
road.
●White (yellow) lines are difficult to see
due to rain, snow, fog, dust, etc.
●Vehicle is driven in a temporary lane or
restricted lane due to construction
work.
●Vehicle is driven in a construction
zone.
●A spare tire, tire chains, etc. are
equipped.
●When the tires have been excessively
worn, or when the tire inflation pres-
sure is low.
●During emergency towing.
■Situations in whic h the lane change
assist function should not be used
●When driving on a one lane road or
road without lane markers
●When there is no broken white line
between your vehicle and the lane
toward which the turn signal is oper-
ated
●Vehicle is driven in traffic lanes other
than that freeways and highways.
■Preventing LTA system malfunctions
and operations performed by mistake
●Do not modify the headlights or place
stickers, etc. on the surface of the
lights.
●Do not modify the suspension etc. If
the suspension etc. needs to be
replaced, contact your Lexus dealer.
●Do not install or place anything on the
hood or grille. Also, do not install a
grille guard (bull bars, kangaroo bar,
etc.).
●If your windshield needs repairs, con-
tact your Lexus dealer.
■Conditions in which functions may
not operate properly
In the following situations, the functions
may not operate properly and the vehicle
may depart from its la ne. Drive safely by
