Digital Rearview Mirror*
The Digital Rearview Mirror is a
system that uses the camera on the
rear of the vehicle and displays its
image on the display of the Digital
Rearview Mirror.
The Digital Rearview Mirror can be
changed between optical mirror
mode and digital mirror mode by
operating the lever.
The Digital Rearview Mirror allows
the driver to see the rear view
despite obstructions, such as the
head restraints, luggage or rear
sunshade ensuring rear visibility.
Also, the rear seats are not dis-
played and privacy of the passen-
gers is enhanced.
WARNING
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in death or
serious injury.
■Before using the Digital Rearview
Mirror
●Make sure to adjust the mirror before
driving. ( P.144)
• Change to optical mirror mode and adjust the position of the Digital Rear-
view Mirror so that the area behind
your vehicle can be viewed properly.
• Change to digital mirror mode and adjust the display settings.
●As the range of the image displayed by
the Digital Rearview Mirror is different
from that of the optical mirror, make
sure to check this difference before
driving.

■Total load capacity and seating capacity
These details are also described on the tire
and loading information label. ( P.406)
WARNING
●Do not place cargo or luggage in or on
the following locations.
• At the feet of the driver
• On the front passenger or rear seats (when stacking items)
• On the package tray
• On the instrument panel
•On the dashboard
• In front of the Center Display
●Secure all items in the occupant com-
partment.
■Capacity and distribution
●Do not exceed the maximum axle
weight rating or the total vehicle
weight rating.
●Even if the total load of occupant’s
weight and the cargo load is less than
the total load capacity, do not apply the
load unevenly. Improper loading may
cause deterioration of steering or
braking control which may cause
death or serious injury.
Vehicle load limits
Vehicle load limits include total
load capacity, seating capacity,
towing capacity and cargo capac-
ity.
 Total load capacity (vehicle
capacity weight): P.456
Total load capacity means the com-
bined weight of occupants, cargo
and luggage.
 Seating capacity: P.456
Seating capacity means the maxi-
mum number of occupants whose
estimated average weight is 150 lb.
(68 kg) per person.
 Towing capacity
Lexus does not recommend towing
a trailer with your vehicle.
 Cargo capacity
Cargo capacity may increase or
decrease depending on the weight
and the number of occupants.
WARNING
■Overloading the vehicle
Do not overload the vehicle.
It may not only cause damage to the tires,
but also degrade steering and braking
ability, resulting in an accident.

2164-5. Using the driving support systems
■Intersection right/left turn assis-
tance
If the system determines that there is a
high possibility of a collision in the fol-
lowing situations, it will assist with
Pre-collision warning and, if necessary
Pre-collision braking. Depending on
the configuration of the intersection, it
may not be possible to support.
 When you turn right/left at an inter-
section and cross the path of an
oncoming vehicle
 When you turn right/left, pedestrian
is detected in the forward direction
and estimated to enter your vehi-
cle’s path (bicyclists are not
detected.)
■Active steering assist
If the system determines that the possi-
bility of a collision with an object, such
as a guardrail, or pedestrian is high,
even though the brakes are applied, and that the collision may be avoidable
through steering cont
rol, the system
will steer the vehicle automatically to
help avoid the collision or help reduce
the impact of the collision.
■Active Assist for seat belts (front
seats only)
If the system determines that the possi-
bility of a frontal collision is high, the
system will retract the seat belts. Addi-
tionally, the system may retract the seat
belts if the brakes are applied suddenly
or control of the vehicle is lost.
■Pre-collision seatbacks (front pas-
senger’s seat / power rear seat [if
equipped])
If the system determines that the possi-
bility of a frontal collision is high, it may
move the seatbacks of the front pas-
senger’s seat and power rear seats to
the upright position automatically, if
reclined.
If a seat is being adjusted, it may not be
moved by the pre-collis ion seat function.
■Suspension control
When the system determines that the
possibility of a frontal collision is high,
the Adaptive Variable Suspension Sys-
tem ( P.304) will control the damp-
ing force of the shock absorbers to
help maintain an appropriate vehicle
posture.
■Steering control
When the system determines that the
possibility of a frontal collision is high
and the driver is op erating the steering
wheel, the LDH system ( P.305) will
control the turning angle of the front

2284-5. Using the driving support systems
sage will be displayed on the
multi-information display to urge the
driver to take evasive action.
■Pre-collision brake assist
When the system determines that the
possibility of a frontal collision is high,
the system applies greater braking
force in relation to how strongly the
brake pedal is depressed.
■Pre-collision braking
If the system determines that the possi-
bility of a frontal collision is extremely
high, the brakes are automatically
applied to help avoid the collision or
reduce the impact of the collision.
■Pre-collision seatbacks (front pas-
senger’s seat / power rear seat [if
equipped])
If the system determines that the possi-
bility of a frontal collision is high, it may
move the seatbacks of the front pas-
senger’s seat and power rear seats to
the upright position automatically, if
reclined.
If a seat is being ad justed, it may not be
moved by the pre-collision seat function.
■Suspension control
When the system determines that the
possibility of a frontal collision is high, the Adaptive Variable Suspension Sys-
tem (
P.304) will control the damp-
ing force of the shock absorbers to
help maintain an appropriate vehicle
posture.
■Steering control
When the system determines that the
possibility of a frontal collision is high
and the driver is op erating the steering
wheel, the LDH system ( P.305) will
control the turning angle of the front
and rear wheels and effort necessary
to turn the steering wheel to help
enhance steering responsiveness.
WARNING
■Limitations of the pre-collision system
●The driver is solely responsible for safe
driving. Always drive safely, taking
care to observe your surroundings.
Do not use the pre-collision system
instead of normal braking operations
under any circumstances. This system
will not prevent collisions or lessen col-
lision damage or injury in every situa-
tion. Do not overly rely on this system.
Failure to do so may lead to an acci-
dent, resulting in death or serious
injury.
●Although this system is designed to
help avoid a collision or help reduce
the impact of the collision, its effective-
ness may change according to various
conditions, therefore the system may
not always be able to achieve the same
level of performance.
Read the following conditions care-
fully. Do not overly rely on this system
and always drive carefully.
• Conditions under which the system may operate even if there is no possi-
bility of a collision:
P.231
• Conditions under which the system may not operate properly: P.233
