■Operational conditions
The pre-collision system is enabled and the system determines that the possibility of a
frontal collision with a vehicle or pedestrian is high.
Each function is operationa l at the following speeds:
●Pre-collision warning:
• Vehicle speed is between approximately 7 and 110 mph (10 and 180 km/h). (For
detecting a pedestrian, vehicle speed is between approximately 7 and 50 mph [10
and 80 km/h].)
• The relative speed between your vehicle and the vehicle or pedestrian ahead is approximately 7 mph (10 km/h) or more.
●Pre-collision brake assist:
• Vehicle speed is between approximately 20 and 110 mph (30 and 180 km/h). (For
detecting a pedestrian, vehicle speed is between approximately 20 and 50 mph
[30 and 80 km/h].)
• The relative speed between your vehicle and the vehicle or pedestrian ahead is
approximately 20 mph (30 km/h) or more.
●Pre-collision braking:
• Vehicle speed is between approximately 7 and 110 mph (10 and 180 km/h). (Fordetecting a pedestrian, vehicle speed is between approximately 7 and 50 mph [10
and 80 km/h].)
• The relative speed between your vehicle and the vehicle or pedestrian ahead is approximately 7 mph (10 km/h) or more.
The system may not operate in the following situations:
●If a battery terminal has been disconnected and reconnected and then the vehicle has
not been driven for a certain amount of time
●If the shift lever is in R
●If VSC is disabled (only the pre-collis ion warning function will be operational)
●If the low speed four-wheel drive indicator is illuminated (only the pre-collision warning
function will be operational)

LDA (Lane Departure Alert)
When driving on roads with white (yellow)
lines, this function alerts the driver
when the vehicle might depart from its lane.
The LDA system recognizes visible
white (yellow) lines with the camera
sensor on the upper portion of the front
windshield.
◆Lane departure alert function
When the system determines that
the vehicle might depart from its
lane, a warning is displayed on the
multi-information display, and either
the warning buzzer sounds or the
steering wheel vibrates to alert the
driver.
When the warning buzzer sounds or
the steering wheel vibrates, check
the surrounding road situation and
carefully operate the steering wheel
to move the vehicle back to the cen-
ter of the lane.

◆Vehicle sway warning function
When the vehicle is swaying or
appears as if it may depart from its
lane multiple times, the warning
buzzer sounds and a message is dis-
played on the multi-information dis-
play to alert the driver.
WARNING
■Before using LDA system
Do not rely solely upon the LDA system. The LDA system does not automatically drive
the vehicle or reduce the amount of attention that must be paid to the area in front of
the vehicle. The driver must always assume full responsibility for driving safely by pay-
ing careful attention to the surrounding cond itions and operating the steering wheel to
correct the path of the vehicle. Also, the driver must take adequate breaks when
fatigued, such as from driving for a long period of time.
Failure to perform appropriate driving operat ions and pay careful attention may lead to
an accident, resulting in death or serious injury.
■To avoid operating LDA system by mistake
When not using the LDA system, use the LDA switch to turn the system off.

Press the LDA switch to turn the LDA
system on.
The LDA indicator illuminates.
Press the LDA switch again to turn the
LDA system off.
When the LDA system is turned on or
off, operation of the LDA system contin-
ues in the same cond
ition the next time
the engine is started.
WARNING
■Situations unsuitable for LDA system
Do not use the LDA system in the following situations.
The system may not operate properly and lead to an accident, resulting in death or
serious injury.
●A spare tire, tire chains, etc. are equipped.
●Objects or patterns that could be mistaken for white (yellow) lines are present on the
side of the road (guardrails, cu rbs, reflective poles, etc.).
●Vehicle is driven on a snow-covered road.
●White (yellow) lines are difficult to see due to rain, snow, fog, dust, etc.
●Asphalt repair marks, white (yellow) line marks, etc. are present due to road repair.
●Vehicle is driven in a temporary lane or restricted lane due to construction work.
●Vehicle is driven in a construction zone.
■Preventing LDA system malfunctions and operations performed by mistake
●Do not modify the headlights or place stickers, etc. on the surface of the lights.
●Do not modify the suspension etc. If the suspension etc. needs to be replaced, con-
tact your Lexus dealer.
●Do not install or place anything on the hood or grille. Also, do not install a grille guard
(bull bars, kangaroo bar, etc.).
●If your windshield needs repair s, contact your Lexus dealer.

WARNING
■Before using dynamic radar cruise control
●Driving safely is the sole responsibility of the driver. Do not rely solely on the system,
and drive safely by always paying ca reful attention to your surroundings.
●The dynamic radar cruise control provides driving assistance to reduce the driver’s
burden. However, there are limitatio ns to the assistance provided.
Read the following conditions carefully. Do not overly rely on this system and always
drive carefully.
• When the sensor may not be correctly detecting the vehicle ahead: P. 268
• Conditions under which the vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode may not function correctly: P. 269
●Set the speed appropriately depending on the speed limit, traffic flow, road condi-
tions, weather conditions, etc. The driver is responsible for checking the set speed.
●Even when the system is functioning norma lly, the condition of the preceding 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 assuming the system ensures safety while
driving can lead to an accident, resulting in death or serious injury.
●Switch the dynamic radar cruise control off using the “ON/OFF” button when not in
use.
■Cautions regarding the driving assist systems
Observe the following precautions, as there are limitations to the assistance provided
by the system.
Failure to do so may cause an accident resulting in death or serious injury.
●Assisting the driver to measure following distance
The dynamic radar cruise control is only in tended to help the driver in determining
the following distance between the driver ’s own vehicle and a designated vehicle
traveling ahead. It is not a mechanism that allows careless or inattentive driving, and it
is not a system that can assist the driver in low-visibility conditions . It is still necessary
for driver to pay close attention to the vehicle’s surroundings.
●Assisting the driver to judg e proper following distance
The dynamic radar cruise control determines whether the following distance
between the driver’s own vehicle and a design ated vehicle traveling ahead is within a
set range. It is not capable of making any other type of judgement. Therefore, it is
absolutely necessary for the driver to remain vigilant and to determine whether or not
there is a possibility of danger in any given situation.
●Assisting the driver to operate the vehicle
The dynamic radar cruise cont rol has limited capability to prevent or avoid a collision
with a vehicle traveling ahead. Therefore, if there is ever any danger, the driver must
take immediate and direct control of the vehicle and act appropriately in order to
ensure the safety of all involved.

WARNING
■Situations unsuitable for dy
namic radar cruise control
Do not use dynamic radar cruise contro l in any of the following situations.
Doing so may result in inappropriate speed control and could cause an accident result-
ing in death or serious injury.
●Roads where there are pede strians, cyclists, etc.
●In heavy traffic
●On roads with sharp bends
●On winding roads
●On slippery roads, such as thos e covered with rain, ice or snow
●On steep downhills, or where there are sudden changes between sharp up and down
gradients
Vehicle speed may exceed the set speed when driving down a steep hill.
●At entrances to freeways and highways
●When weather conditions are bad enough that they may prevent the sensors from
detecting correctly (fog, snow, sandstorm, heavy rain, etc.)
●When there is rain, snow, etc. on the fron t surface of the radar sensor or camera sen-
sor
●In traffic conditions that require frequent repeated a cceleration and deceleration
●When your vehicle is towing a trailer (wit h towing hitch) or during emergency towing
●When an approach warning buzzer is heard often
