another driver cuts in front of you while
you are following a vehicle. Depress
the brake pedal to ensure an appropri-
ate vehicle-to-vehicle distance.

inspected by your Lexus dealer.
●Do not subject a sensor or its sur-
rounding area on the rear bumper to a
strong impact.
If a sensor is move d 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.

■Cautions regarding the use of the
system
There is a limit to the degree of recogni-
tion accuracy and control performance
that this system can provide, do not
overly rely on this system. The driver is
always responsible for paying attention
to the vehicle’s surroundings and driving
safely.
■To ensure the system can operate
properly
Observe the following precautions.
Failing to do so may result in the vehicle
being unable to be driven safely and pos-
sibly cause an accident.
●Do not damage the sensors, and
always keep them clean.
●Do not attach a sticker or install an
electronic component, such as a
backlit license plate (especially fluo-
rescent type), fog lights, fender pole or
wireless antenna near a radar sensor.
●Do not subject the surrounding area of
the sensor to a strong impact. If sub-
jected to an impact, have the vehicle
inspected by your Lexus dealer. If the
front or rear bumper needs to be
removed/installed or replaced, con-
tact your Lexus dealer.
●Do not modify, disassemble or paint
the sensors.
●Do not attach a license plate cover.
●Keep your tires properly inflated.
