Driving
*:If equipped
The RSA system recognizes specific
road signs using the front camera to
provide information to the driver via
the display.
If the system judges that the vehicle is
being driven over the speed limit, per-
forming prohibited actions, etc.,
according to the recognized road
signs, it notifies the driver through a
visual notification and notification
buzzer.
When the front camera recognizes a
sign, the sign will be displayed on the multi-information display.

When the driving assist system
information is selected, a maximum
of 3 signs can be displayed.
( P.89)
 When a tab other than the driving
assist system information is selected,
the following types of road signs will
be displayed.( P.89)
• Speed limit sign
• Do Not Enter sign (when notification is
necessary)
If signs other than speed limit signs are rec-
ognized, they will be displayed in an over-
lapping stack under th e current speed limit
sign.
The following types of road signs,
including electronic signs and blinking
signs, are recognized.

WARNING
■Before using the RSA
Do not rely solely upon the RSA system.
RSA is a system which supports the
driver by providing information, but it is
not a replacement for a driver’s own
vision and awareness. Drive safely by
always paying careful attention to the
traffic rules.

ered due to the carried load.
●The surrounding brightness is not suffi-
cient or changes suddenly.
●When a sign intended for trucks, etc. is
recognized.
●The speed information displayed on the
meter and on the navigation system may
be different due to the navigation system
using map data.
■Speed limit sign display
If the power switch was last turned off while
a speed limit sign wa s displayed on the
multi-information display, the same sign dis-
plays again when the power switch is turned
to ON mode.
■If “RSA malfunction Visit Your Dealer” is
shown
The system may be malfunctioning. Have
the vehicle inspected by your Lexus dealer.
■Customization
Some functions can be customized. (Cus-
tomizable features: P.443)
In vehicle-to-vehicle distance control
mode, the vehicle automatically accel-
erates, decelerates and stops to match
the speed changes of the preceding
vehicle even if the accelerator pedal is
not depressed. In constant speed con-
trol mode, the vehicle runs at a fixed
speed.
Use the dynamic radar cruise control
with full-speed range on freeways and
highways.

WARNING
■Before using dynamic radar cruise
control with full-speed range
●Driving safely is the sole responsibility
of the driver. Do not rely solely on the
system, and drive safely by always pay-
ing careful attention to your surround-
ings.
●The dynamic radar cruise control with
full-speed range pr ovides driving
assistance to reduce the driver’s bur-
den. However, there are limitations to
the assistance provided.
Read the following co nditions carefully.
Do not overly rely on this system and
always drive carefully.
• When the sensor ma y not be correctly
detecting the vehicle ahead: P.245
• Conditions under which the vehicle- to-vehicle distance control mode may
not function correctly: P.246
●Set the speed appropriately depend-
ing on the speed limit, traffic flow, road
conditions, weather conditions, etc.
The driver is responsible for checking
the set speed.
●Even when the system is functioning
normally, the condition of the preced-
ing vehicle as detected by the system
may differ from the condition
observed by the driver. Therefore, the
driver must always remain alert, assess
the danger of each situation and drive
safely. Relying solely on this system or
assuming the system ensures safety
while driving can lead to an accident,
resulting in death or serious injury.

in use.
■Cautions regarding the driving assist
systems
Observe the following precautions, as
there are limitations to the assistance
provided by the system.
Failure to do so may cause an accident
resulting in death or serious injury.
●Assisting the driver to measure follow-
ing distance
The dynamic radar cruise control with
full-speed range is only intended to help
the driver in determining the following
distance between the driver’s own vehi-
cle and a designated vehicle traveling
ahead. It is not a mechanism that allows
careless or inattentive driving, and it is
not a system that can assist the driver in
low-visibility conditions. It is still neces-
sary for driver to pay close attention to
the vehicle’s surroundings.
●Assisting the driver to judge proper
following distance
The dynamic radar cruise control with
full-speed range determines whether the
following distance between the driver’s
own vehicle and a designated vehicle
traveling ahead is within a set range. It is
not capable of making any other type of
judgement. Therefore, it is absolutely
necessary for the driver to remain vigi-
lant and to determine whether or not
there is a possibility of danger in any
given situation.

Driving
The system’s identification of what is an over taking lane may be determined solely based on
the location of the steering wheel in the vehicl e (left side driver position versus right side
driver position.) If the vehicle is driven to a re gion where the overtaking lane is on a different
side from where the vehicle is normally driven, the vehicle may accelerate when the turn
signal lever is operated in the opposite direction to the overtaking lane (e.g., if the driver
normally operates the vehicle in a region where the overtaking lane is to the right but then
drives to a region where the overtaking lane is to the left, the vehicle may accelerate when
the right turn signal is activated).
Example of acceleration
When there are no longer any preceding vehicles driving slower than the set
speed
The system accelerates until the set speed is re ached. The system then returns to constant
speed cruising.
1 Press the “ON/OFF” button to
activate the cruise control.
Dynamic radar cruise control indicator will
come on and a message will be displayed
on the multi-information display.
Press the button again to deactivate the
cruise control.
If the “ON/OFF” button is pressed and
held for 1.5 seconds or more, the system
turns on in constant speed control mode.
( P.244)
2 Accelerate or decelerate, with
accelerator pedal operation, to the
desired vehicle speed (at or above
approximately 20 mph [30 km/h]) and push the lever down to set the
speed.
Cruise control “SET”
indicator will come
on.
The vehicle speed at the moment the lever
is released beco mes the set speed.
To change the set speed, operate the
lever until the desired set speed is dis-
played.

Driving
Select a distance from the table below.
Note that the distances shown corre-
spond to a vehicle speed of 50 mph
(80 km/h). Vehicle-to-vehicle distance
increases/decreases in accordance
with vehicle speed. When the vehicle is
stopped by system control, the vehicle
stops at a certain vehicle-to-vehicle
distance depending on the situation.
After the vehicle ahead of you starts
off, push the lever up.
Your vehicle will also resume follow-up
cruising if the accelerator pedal is
depressed after the vehicle ahead of
you starts off. 1
Pulling the lever toward you can-
cels the speed control.
The speed control is also canceled when
the brake pedal is depressed.
(When the vehicle has been stopped by
system control, depressing the brake pedal
does not cancel the setting.)
2Pushing the lever up resumes the
cruise control and returns vehicle
speed to the set speed.
When your vehicle is too close to a
vehicle ahead, and sufficient automatic
deceleration via the cruise control is
not possible, the display will flash and
the buzzer will sound to alert the driver.
