■Operational conditions for each
pre-collision function
The pre-collision system is enabled and the
system determines that the possibility of a
frontal collision with a detected object is
high.
The system may not operate in the following
situations:
• If a battery terminal has been discon- nected and reconnected and then the
vehicle has not been driven for a certain
amount of time
• If the shift lever is in R
• When the VSC OFF indicator is illumi- nated (only the pre-collision warning
function will be operational)
The operation speeds and operation cancella tion for each function is listed below.
●Pre-collision warning
While the pre-collision warning function is operat ing, if the steering wheel is operated heav-
ily or suddenly, the pre-collis ion warning may be cancelled.
●Pre-collision brake assist

as heavy rain, fog, snow or a sandstorm
• When driving through steam or smoke
• When the surrounding area is dim, such as at dawn or dusk, or while at night or in
a tunnel, making a detectable object
appear to be nearly the same color as its
surroundings
• When driving in a place where the sur- rounding brightness changes suddenly,
such as at the entrance or exit of a tunnel
• After the engine has started the vehicle has not been driven for a certain amount
of time
• While making a left/right turn and for a few seconds after making a left/right turn
• While driving on a curve and for a few seconds after driving on a curve
• If your vehicle is skidding
• If the front of the vehicle is raised or low-
ered
• If the wheels are misaligned
• If a wiper blade is blocking the front cam- era
• The vehicle is being driven at extremely high speeds
• When driving on a hill
• If the radar sensor or front camera is mis-
aligned
• When driving in a traffic lane separated
by more than one lane where oncoming
vehicles are driving while making a
right/left turn
• When largely out of place with the oppo- site facing targeted oncoming vehicle
during a right/left turn • While making a right/left turn, when a
pedestrian approaches from behind or
side of your vehicle
●In addition to the above, in some situa-
tions, such as the following, the emer-
gency steering assist may not operate.
• When the white (yellow) lane lines are difficult to see, such as when they are
faint, diverging/merging, or a shadow is
cast upon them
• When the lane is wider or narrower than
normal
• When there is a light and dark pattern on the road surface, such as due to road
repairs
• When the target is too close
• When there is insufficient safe or unob- structed space for the vehicle to be
steered into
• If oncoming vehicle is present
• If VSC function is operating
●In some situations su ch as the following,
sufficient braking forc e or steering force
may not be obtained, preventing the sys-
tem from performing properly:
• If the braking functions cannot operate to their full extent, such as when the brake
parts are extremely cold, extremely hot,
or wet
• If the vehicle is not properly maintained (brakes or tires are excessively worn,
improper tire inflation pressure, etc.)
• When the vehicle is being driven on a gravel road or other slippery surface
• When the road surface has deep wheel tracks
• When driving on a hill road
• When driving on a road that has inclines
to the left or right
■If VSC is disabled
●If VSC is disabled ( P.230), the
pre-collision brake assist and pre-colli-
sion braking functions are also disabled.

●The PCS warning light will turn on and
“VSC Turned OFF Pre-Collision Brake
System Unavailable” will be displayed on
the multi-information display.LTA (Lane Tracing Assist)
While driving on a road with clear
white (yellow) lane lines, the LTA
system warns the driver if the vehi-
cle may deviate from the current
lane or course
*, and also can
slightly operate the steering wheel
to help avoid deviation from the
lane or course
*. Also, while the
dynamic radar cruise control with
full-speed range ( P.187) is oper-
ating, this system will operate the
steering wheel to maintain the vehi-
cle’s lane position.
The LTA system recognizes white
(yellow) lane lines or a course
*
using the front camera. Addition-
ally, it detects preceding vehicles
using the front camera and radar.
*: Boundary between asphalt and the side of the road, such as grass, soil, or
a curb

●When operation condit ions are no longer
met, a function may be temporarily
canceled. However, when the operation
conditions are met again, operation of the
function is automatically restored.

1944-5. Using the driving support systems
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 dis-
tance control mode does not function
correctly due to a dirty radar, etc.
1With the cruise control off, press
and hold the “ON/ OFF” button for
1.5 seconds or more.
Immediately after the “ON/OFF” button 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 lever
with the cruise control off.
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 becomes the set speed.
Adjusting the sp eed setting: P.190
Canceling and resuming the speed setting: P.192
■Dynamic radar cruise control with
full-speed range can be set when
●The shift lever is in D.
●The desired set spee
d can be set when
the vehicle speed is approximately 20
mph (30 km/h) or more.
(However, when the vehicle speed is set
while driving at belo w approximately 20
mph [30 km/h], the se t 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. Ho wever, during vehi-
cle-to-vehicle distance control mode, the
vehicle speed may decrease below the set
speed in order to main tain the distance to
the preceding vehicle.
■When the vehicle stops while follow-up
cruising
●Pushing the lever up while the vehicle
ahead stops will resu me follow-up cruis-
ing if the vehicle ahead starts off within
approximately 3 seco nds after the lever
is pushed up.
●If the vehicle ahead starts off within 3 sec-
onds after your vehicle stops, follow-up
cruising will be resumed.
■Automatic cancelation of vehi-
cle-to-vehicle dist ance 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.
Selecting constant speed con-
trol mode

1954-5. Using the driving support systems

Driving
●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 restric-
tion control of a driving support system
operates.
(For example: Pre-Collision 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.
• The vehicle has been stopped for about 3 minutes.
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 restric-
tion control of a driving support system
operates.
(For example: Pre-Collision System,
Drive-Start Control)
●The parking brake is operated.
If constant speed cont rol mode is automati-
cally canceled for any reasons other than
the above, there may be a malfunction in the
system. Contact your Lexus dealer.
■Situations in which the curve speed
reduction function may not operate
In situations such as the following, the curve
speed reduction function may not operate:
●When the vehicle is being driven around
a gentle curve
●When the accelerato r pedal is being
depressed
●When the vehicle is being driven around
an extremely short curve
■Brake operation
A brake operation sound may be heard and
the brake pedal response may change, but
these are not malfunctions.
■Warning messages and buzzers for
dynamic radar cruise control with
full-speed range
Warning messages and buzzers are used to
indicate a system malfunction or to inform
the driver of the need for caution while driv-
ing. If a warning messa ge is shown on the
multi-information display, read the message
and follow the instructions. ( P.163, 338)
■When the sensor may not be correctly
detecting the vehicle ahead
In the case of the fo llowing and depending
on the conditions, operate the brake pedal
when deceleration of the system is insuffi-
cient or operate the accelerator pedal
when acceleration is required.
As the sensor may not be able to correctly
detect these types of vehicles, the approach
warning ( P.192) may not be activated.
●Vehicles that cut in suddenly
●Vehicles traveling at low speeds
●Vehicles that are not moving in the same
lane
●Vehicles with small rear ends (trailers
with no load on board, etc.)
