■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 whic h the function may
not operate or detect correctly
In the following situations, RSA does not
operate normally and may not recognize
signs, display the inco rrect 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 navigation system map data is out-
dated.
●The navigation system is not operating.
●The speed informatio
n 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 engine switch was last turned off while
a speed limit sign was displayed on the
multi-information display, the same sign dis-
plays again when the engine switch is
turned to IGNITION 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.408)

2014-5. Using the driving support systems
4
Driving
The vehicle travels at the speed set by the driver.
Example of deceleration cruising and follow-up cruising
When a preceding vehicle driving slower than the set speed appears
When a vehicle is detected running ahead of you, the system automatically decelerates
your vehicle. When a greater reduction in vehicle speed is necessary, the system applies
the brakes (the stop lights will come on at th is time). The system will respond to changes in
the speed of the vehicle ahead in order to maintain the vehicle-to-vehicle distance set by
the driver. Approach warning warns you when the system cannot decelerate sufficiently to
prevent your vehicle from closing in on the vehicle ahead.
When the vehicle ahead of you stops, your vehicl e will also stop (vehicle is stopped by sys-
tem control). After the vehicle ahead starts off, pressing the “+RES” switch or depressing
the accelerator pedal (start-off operation) will resume follow-up cruising. If the start-off
operation is not performed, system contro l continues to keep your vehicle stopped.
When the turn signal lever is operated and your vehicle moves to an overtaking lane while
driving at 50 mph (80 km/h) or more, the vehicle will accelerate to help to overtake a
passing vehicle.
The system’s identification of what is an overtaking 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 region where the overtaking lane is on a differ-
ent 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 reached. The system then returns to constant
speed cruising.
1 Press the cruise control main
switch to activate the cruise con-
trol.
Dynamic radar cruise control indicator will
come on and a message will be displayed
on the multi-information display. Press the
switch again to deactivate the cruise con-
trol. If the cruise control main switch is pressed
and held for 1.5 seconds or more, the sys-
tem turns on in constant speed control
mode. (

accelerator pedal operation, to the
desired vehicle speed (at or above
approximately 20 mph [30 km/h])
and press the “-SET” switch to set
the speed.
Cruise control “SET” indicator will come

(Except when the vehicle has been
stopped by system control in vehicle-to-
vehicle distance control mode)
2Decreases the speed Fine adjustment: Press the switch.
Large adjustment: Press and hold the
switch to change the speed, and
release when the desired speed is
reached.
In the vehicle-to-vehicle distance con-
trol mode, the set speed will be
increased or decreased as follows:
For the U.S. mainland and Hawaii
Fine adjustment: By 1 mph (1.6 km/h)*1 or 1
km/h (0.6 mph)
*2 each time the switch is
pressed
Large adjustment: Increases or decreases
in 1mph (1.6 km/h)
*1 or 1 km/h (0.6 mph)*2
increments for as long as the switch is held
Except for the U.S. mainland and
Hawaii
Fine adjustment: By 1 mph (1.6 km/h)*1 or 1
km/h (0.6 mph)

in 5 mph (8 km/h)
*1 or 5 km/h (3.1 mph)*2
increments for as long as the switch is held
In the constant speed control mode
(  P.205), the set speed will be
increased or decreased as follows:
Fine adjustment: By 1 mph (1.6 km/h)*1 or 1
km/h (0.6 mph)
*2 each time the switch is
pressed
Large adjustment: The speed will continue
to change while the switch is held.

In situations where vehicle-to-vehicle
distance control needs to operate,
such as when a preceding vehicle cuts
in front of your vehicle, the curve
speed reduction function will be can-
celed.
■Operation display
Displayed when the vehicle speed is
being reduced.
When the vehicle speed reduction ends,
the display will disappear.
■Changing the settings of the curve
speed reduction function
The curve speed reduction function
can be enabled/disabled and the vehi-
cle speed reduction strength can be
adjusted on ( P.76) of the multi-
information display.
The setting will change each time the “OK”
meter control switch is pressed.
When constant speed control mode is
selected, your vehicle will maintain a
set speed without controlling the vehi-
cle-to-vehicle distance. Select this mode only when vehicle-to-vehicle
distance control mode does not func-
tion correctly due to a dirty radar, etc.

Switching to constant speed control mode
is only possible when operating the switch
with the cruise control off.

PKSA (Parking Support
Alert)
*
The Parking Support Alert system
consists of the following functions
that operate when driving at a low
speed or backing up, such as when
parking. When the system deter-
mines that the possibility of a colli-
sion with a detected object, such as
a wall, or pedestrian is high, a warn-
ing operates to urge the driver to
take evasive action.

and/or objects:
●Vehicles approaching from directly
behind
●Vehicles backing up in a parking space
next to your vehicle
●Vehicles that the sensors cannot detect
due to obstructions
●Guardrails, walls, signs, parked vehicles
and similar stationary objects*
●Small motorcycles, bicycles, pedestrians,
etc.*

correctly in the following situations:
●When the sensor is misaligned due to a
strong impact to the sensor or its sur-
rounding area.
●When mud, snow, ice, a sticker, etc.,is
covering the sensor or surrounding area
on the rear bumper.
