vehicle distance control mode set
speed.
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.

With the cruise control off, press
and hold the cruise control main
switch for 1.5 seconds or more.
Immediately after the switch is pressed, the
dynamic radar cruise control indicator will
come on. Afterwards, it switches to the
cruise control indicator.
Switching to constant speed control mode
is only possible when operating the switch
with the cruise control off.
2Accelerate or decelerate, with
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
on.
The vehicle speed at the moment the
switch is released becomes the set speed.

■Dynamic radar cruise control with full-
speed range can be set when
●The shift lever is in D.
●The desired set speed can be set when
the vehicle speed is approximately 20
mph (30 km/h) or more. (However,
when the vehicle speed is set while driv-
ing at below approximately 20 mph [30
km/h], the set speed will be set to
approximately 20 mph [30 km/h].)
■Accelerating after setting the vehicle
speed
The vehicle can accelerate by operating the
accelerator pedal. After accelerating, the
set speed resumes. However, during vehi-
cle-to-vehicle distance control mode, the
vehicle speed may decrease below the set
speed in order to maintain the distance to
the preceding vehicle.
■When the vehicle stops while follow-up
cruising
●Pressing the “+RES” switch while the
vehicle ahead stops will resume follow-
up cruising if the vehicle ahead starts off
within approximately 3 seconds after the
switch is pressed.
●If the vehicle ahead starts off within 3 sec-
onds after your vehicle stops, follow-up
cruising will be resumed.
■Automatic cancelation of vehicle-to-
vehicle distance control mode
Vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode is
automatically canceled in the following situ-
ations.
●VSC is activated.
●TRAC is activated for a period of time.
●When the VSC or TRAC system is
turned off.
●The sensor cannot detect correctly
because it is covered in some way.
●When the brake control or output
restriction control of a driving support
system operates. (For example: Pre-Col-
lision System, Drive-Start Control)
●The parking brake is operated.
●The vehicle is stopped by system control
on a steep incline.
●The following are detected when the
vehicle has been stopped by system con-
trol:
• The driver is not wearing a seat belt.
• The driver’s door is opened.

If vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode
is automatically canceled for any reasons
other than the above, there may be a mal-
function in the system. Contact your Lexus
dealer.
■Automatic cancelation of constant
speed control mode
Constant speed control mode is automati-
cally canceled in the following situations:
●Actual vehicle speed is more than
approximately 10 mph (16 km/h) below
the set vehicle speed.
●Actual vehicle speed falls below approxi-
mately 20 mph (30 km/h).
●VSC is activated.
●TRAC is activated for a period of time.
●When the VSC or TRAC system is
turned off.
●When the brake control or output
restriction control of a driving support
system operates. (For example: Pre-Col-
lision System, Drive-Start Control)

WARNING
■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.

2184-5. Using the driving support systems
■The system can be operated when
●The engine switch is in IGNITION ON
mode.
●Intuitive parking assist function is on.
●The vehicle speed is less than about 6
mph (10 km/h).
●A shift lever is shifted to a position other
than P.
■Setting the buzzer volume
The buzzer volume can be adjusted on the
multi-information display. ( P.215)
■If “Parking Assist Unavailable Clean
Parking Assist Sensor” is displayed on
the multi-information display
A sensor may be covered with ice, snow,
dirt, etc. Remove the ice, snow, dirt, etc.,
from the sensor to return the system to nor-
mal.
Also, due to ice forming on a sensor at low
temperatures, a warning message may be
displayed or the sensor may not be able to
detect an object. Once the ice melts, the system will return to normal.
■If “Parking Assist Unavailable” is dis-
played on the multi-information display
●Water may be continuously flowing over
the sensor surface, such as in a heavy
rain. When the system determines that it
is normal, the system will return to nor-
mal.
●Initialization may not have been per-
formed after a battery terminal was dis-
connected and reconnected. Initialize the
system. (
P.218)
If this message continues to be displayed
even after initializati on, have the vehicle
inspected by your Lexus dealer.
■If a battery terminal has been discon-
nected and reconnected
The system needs to be initialized. To initial-
ize the system, drive the vehicle straight
ahead for 5 seconds or more at a speed of
approximately 22 mph (35 km/h) or more.
Additionally, for vehicles with the Parking
Support Brake function, turn the steering
wheel fully to the left and right with the vehi-
cle stopped.
■Sensor detection information
●The sensor’s detection areas are limited
to the areas around the vehicle’s front
and rear bumpers.
●The following situations may occur
during use.
• Depending on the shape of the object and other factors, the detection distance
may shorten, or detection may be impos-
sible.
• There will be a short delay between object detection and display. Even at low
speeds, there is a possibility that the
object will come within the sensor’s
detection areas before the display is
shown and the warning beep sounds.
• It might be difficult to hear the buzzer due to the volume of the audio system or air
flow noise of the air conditioning system.
• It may be difficult to hear the buzzer if
buzzers for other systems are sounding.
■Objects which the system may not prop-
erly detect
The shape of the object may prevent the
sensor from detecting it. Pay particular
WARNING
■When to disable the function
In the following situations, disable the
function as it may operate even though
there is no possibility of a collision.
●Failing to observe the warnings above.
●A non-genuine Lexus suspension
(lowered suspension, etc.) is installed.
■Notes when washing the vehicle
Do not apply intensive bursts of water or
steam to the sensor area. Doing so may
result in the sensor malfunctioning.
●When using a high pressure washer to
wash the vehicle, do not spray the sen-
sors directly, as doing so may cause a
sensor to malfunction.
●When using steam to clean the vehi-
cle, do not direct steam too close to
the sensors as doing so may cause a
sensor to malfunction.
