cle will go into transmission protection
mode automatically. Have the vehicle
inspected by your Lexus dealer.

Driving assist system
WARNING
■Lexus Safety System +
The Lexus Safety System + is designed to
operate under the assumption that the
driver will drive safely, and is designed to
help reduce the impact to the occupants
and the vehicle in the case of a collision
or assist the driver in normal driving con-
ditions.
As there is a limit to the degree of recog-
nition 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 surro undings and driving
safely.

WARNING
■To avoid malfunction of the radar sen-
sor

trol
In vehicle-to-vehicle distance con-
trol mode, the vehicle automati-
cally accelerates
and decelerates
to match the speed changes of the
preceding vehicle even if the accel-
erator pedal is not depressed. In
constant speed control mode, the
vehicle runs at a fixed speed.
Use the dynamic radar cruise con-
trol on freeways and highways.

WARNING
■Before using dynamic radar cruise
control
●Driving safely is th e sole responsibility
of the driver. Do not rely solely on the
system, and drive safely by always pay-
ing careful attention to your
surroundings.
●The dynamic radar cruise control pro-
vides driving assistance to reduce the
driver’s burden. However, there are
limitations to the assistance provided.
Read the following conditions care-
fully. Do not overly rely on this system
and always drive carefully.
• When the sensor ma y not be correctly
detecting the vehicle ahead:
P.178
• Conditions under which the vehi- cle-to-vehicle distance control mode
may not function correctly:
P.178
●Set the speed appropriately depend-
ing on the speed limit, traffic flow, road
conditions, weather conditions, etc.
The driver is responsible for checking
the set speed.
●Even when the system is functioning
normally, the condition of the preced-
ing vehicle as detected by the system
may differ from the condition
observed by the driver. Therefore, the
driver must always remain alert, assess
the danger of each situation and drive
safely. Relying on this system or assum-
ing the system ensu res safety while
driving can lead to an accident, result-
ing in death or serious injury.
●Switch the dynamic radar cruise con-
trol off using the “ON/OFF” button
when not in use.
