In the following situations, the RSA sys-
tem will notify the driver.
When the vehicle speed exceeds
the speed notification threshold of
the speed limit sign displayed, the
sign display will be emphasized and
a buzzer will sound.
 When the RSA system recognizes a
do not enter sign and determines
that your vehicle has entered a
no-entry area, the displayed sign will
flash and a buzzer will sound.
Depending on the situation, a notifica-
tion function may not operate properly.
■Setting procedure
1 Press or of the meter control
switches and select .
2 Press or of the meter control
switches and select , then press
.
3 Press or of the meter control
switches and select “RSA”, then press
.
■Automatic turn-off of RSA sign display
In the following situations, a displayed
speed limit sign and/or do not enter sign will
stop being displayed automatically:
●No sign has been recognized for a cer-
tain distance.
●The road changes due to a left or right
turn, etc.
In the following situations, stop and yield
signs will stop being displayed automati-
cally:
●The system determines that your vehicle
has passed the sign.
●The road changes due to a left or right
turn, etc.
■Conditions in which the function may
not operate or detect correctly
In the following situations, RSA does not
operate normally and may not recognize
signs, display the incorrect sign, etc. How-
ever, this does not indicate a malfunction.
●The front camera is misaligned due to a
strong impact being applied to the sen-
sor, etc.
●Dirt, snow, stickers, etc. are on the wind-
shield near the front camera.
●In inclement weather such as heavy rain,
fog, snow or sand storms.
●Light from an oncoming vehicle, the sun,
etc. enters the front camera.
●The sign is dirty, faded, tilted or bent.
●The contrast of electronic sign is low.
●All or part of the sign is hidden by the
leaves of a tree, a pole, etc.
●The sign is only visible to the front camera
for a short amount of time.
●The driving scene (turning, lane change,
etc.) is judged incorrectly.
●If a sign not appropriate for the currently
traveled lane, but the sign exists directly
after a freeway branches, or in an adja-
cent lane just before merging.
●Stickers are attached to the rear of the
preceding vehicle.
●A sign resembling a system compatible
sign is recognized.

●Side road speed signs may be detected
and displayed (if positioned in sight of the
front camera) while the vehicle is travel-
ing on the main road.
●Roundabout exit road speed signs may
be detected and displayed (if positioned
in sight of the front camera) while travel-
ing on a roundabout.
●The front of the vehicle is raised or low-
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.

Dynamic radar cruise con-
trol with full-speed range
In vehicle-to-vehicle distance con-
trol mode, the ve hicle automati-
cally accelerates, decelerates and
stops to match the speed changes
of the preceding vehicle even if the
accelerator pedal is not depressed.
In constant speed control mode,
the vehicle runs at a fixed speed.
Use the dynamic radar cruise con-
trol with full-speed range on free-
ways and highways.

2424-5. Using the driving support systems
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 acti-
vate 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 con-
trol.
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.245)
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.

the vehicle has been stopped by

2444-5. Using the driving support systems
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.
1Pulling 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 con-
trol, 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.
An example of this would be if another
driver cuts in front of you while you are
following a vehicle. Depress the brake
pedal to ensure an appropriate vehi-
cle-to-vehicle distance.
■Warnings may not occur when
In the following instances, warnings
may not occur even when the vehi-
cle-to-vehicle distance is small.
 When the speed of the preceding
vehicle matches or exceeds your
vehicle speed
 When the preceding vehicle is trav-
eling at an extremely slow speed
 Immediately after the cruise control
speed was set

WARNING
●Keep the sensors and the surrounding
areas on the rear bumper clean at all
times.
If a sensor or its su rrounding area on the
rear bumper is dirty or covered with
snow, the Blind Spot Monitor may not
operate and a warning message
(  P.248) will be displayed. In this situa-
tion, clear off the dirt or snow and drive
the vehicle with the operation conditions
of the BSM function ( P.252) satisfied

surrounding area on the rear bumper.
●Do not subject a sensor or its sur-
rounding area on the rear bumper to a
strong impact.
If a sensor is moved even slightly off
position, the system may malfunction
and vehicles may not be detected cor-
rectly.
In the following situations, have your
vehicle inspected by your Lexus
dealer.
• A sensor or its surrounding area is subject to a strong impact.
• If the surrounding area of a sensor is scratched or dented, or part of them
has become disconnected.
●Do not disassemb le the sensor.
