1744-5. Using the driving support systems
■If a warning message is displayed on the multi-information display
A system may be temporarily unavailable or there may be a malfunction in the system.
●In the following situations, perform the actions specified in the table. When the normal
operating conditions are detected, the message will disappear and the system will
become operational.
If the message does not disappear, contact your Lexus dealer.
●In the following situations, if the situation has changed (or the vehicle has been driven for
some time) and the normal operating conditions are detected, the message will disap-
pear and the system will become operational.
If the message does not disappear, contact your Lexus dealer.
• When the temperature around the radar sensor is outside of the operational range, such as when the vehicle is in the sun or in an extremely cold environment
• When the front camera cannot detect objects in front of the vehicle, such as when driving in the dark, snow, or fog, or when bright lights are shining into the front camera
• Depending on the conditions in the vicinity of the vehicle, the radar may judge the sur- rounding environment can not be properly re cognized. In that case, “Pre-Collision Sys-
SituationActions
When the area around a camera is covered
with dirt, moisture (fogged up, covered with
condensation, ice, etc.), or other foreign
matterUsing the wiper and A/C function, remove
the dirt and other attached matter.
( P.263)
When the temperature around the front
camera is outside of the operational range,
such as when the vehicle is in the sun or in an
extremely cold environment
If the front camera is hot, such as after the
vehicle had been parked in the sun, use the
air conditioning system to decrease the tem-
perature around the front camera.
If a sunshade was used when the vehicle was
parked, depending on its type, the sunlight
reflected from the surface of the sunshade
may cause the temperature of the front cam-
era to become excessively high.
If the front camera is cold, such after the
vehicle is parked in an extremely cold envi-
ronment, use the air conditioning system to
increase the temperature around the front
camera.
The area in front of the front camera is
obstructed, such as when the hood is open
or a sticker is attached to the part of the
windshield in front of the front camera.
Close the hood, remove the sticker, etc. to
clear the obstruction.
When “Pre-Collision System Radar In Self
Calibration Unavailable See Owner’s Man-
ual” is displayed.Check whether there is attached materials
on the radar sensor and radar sensor cover,
and if there is, remove it.

•SPORT S mode
Controls the transmission and engine to
provide quick, powerful acceleration. This
mode is suitable for when agile driving
response is desired, such as when driving
on roads with many curves.
When not in SPORT S mode, if the Driving
Mode Select switch is turned away from
you, the “Sport S” indicator comes on.
•SPORT S+ mode
Helps to ensure steering performance and
driving stability by simultaneously con-
trolling the steering and suspension in
addition to the transmission and engine.
Suitable for sportier driving.
When in SPORT S mode, if the Driving
Mode Select switch is turned away from
you, the “Sport S+” indicator comes on.
■Operation of the air conditioning sys-
tem in Eco drive mode
Eco drive mode contro ls the heating/cool-
ing operations and fan speed of the air con-
ditioning system to enhance fuel efficiency.
To improve air conditioning performance,
perform the following operations:
●Turn off eco air conditioning mode
(  P.267)
●Adjust the fan speed ( P.263, 265)
●Turn off Eco drive mode ( P.213)
■Automatic deactivation of sport mode
and custom mode (if equipped)
If the engine switch is turned off after driv-
ing in sport mode or custom mode, the
drive mode will be changed to normal
mode.
■Driving mode pop-up display (12.3-inch
display model)
When the driving mode is changed, the
selected driving mode will be temporarily
displayed on the side display. ( P.259)
■Customization (vehicles with Adaptive
Variable Suspension system)
Settings (e.g. custom mode) can be
changed.
(Customizable features:  P.408)

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.

2324-5. Using the driving support systems
the audio system volume is high, the air
conditioning system is being used, etc.
• If the temperature in the cabin is
extremely high or low, the Center Dis-
play may not operate correctly.
*: If equipped
■Parking Support Brake function
(static objects)
Ultrasonic sensors are used to detect
static objects, such as a wall, in the
detection area when driving at a low
speed or backing up. ( P.239)
■Parking Support Brake function
(rear-crossing vehicles)
Rear radar sensors are used to detect
approaching vehicles in the detection
area behind the vehicle when backing
up. ( P.242)
PKSB (Parking Support
Brake)
*
The Parking Support Brake 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 or
pedestrian is high, a warning oper-
ates to urge the driver to take eva-
sive action. If the system
determines that the possibility of a
collision with a detected object or
pedestrian is extremely high, the
brakes are automatically applied to
help avoid the collision or help
reduce the impact of the collision.
