After the vehicle ahead of you starts
off, press the “+RES” switch.
Your vehicle will also resume follow-up
cruising if the accelerator pedal is
depressed after the vehicle ahead of
you starts off. 1
Pressing the cancel switch cancels
the speed control.The speed control is also canceled when
the brake pedal is depressed. (When the
vehicle has been stopped by system con-
trol, depressing the brake pedal does not
cancel the setting.)
2Pressing the “+RES” switch
resumes the cruise control and
returns vehicle speed to the set
speed.
When your vehicle is too close to a
vehicle ahead, and sufficient automatic
deceleration via the cruise control is
not possible, the display will flash and
the buzzer will sound to alert the driver.
An example of this would be if another
driver cuts in front of you while you are
following a vehicle. Depress the brake
pedal to ensure an appropriate vehi-
cle-to-vehicle distance.

*:If equipped
The RSA system recognizes specific
road signs using the front camera
and/or navigation system (when data is
available) to provide information to the
driver via the display.
When the front camera recognizes a
sign and/or informat ion of a sign is available from navigation system, the
sign will be displayed on the
multi-information display.
When the Driving support system
information display is selected, a
maximum of 3 signs can be dis-
played. ( P.90)
When a tab other than the Driving
support system information display
is selected, only a recognized speed
limit sign or do not enter sign (when
notification is necessary) will be dis-
played. ( P.90)
If signs other than speed limit signs are rec-
ognized, they will be displayed in an over-
lapping stack under th e current speed limit
sign.
The following types of ro ad signs are recognized.
A non-official or recently introduced traffic signs may not be recognized.

Summary of function
WARNING
■Before using the RSA
Do not rely solely upon the RSA system.
RSA is a system which supports the
driver by providing information, but it is
not a replacement for a driver’s own
vision and awareness. Drive safely by
always paying careful attention to the
traffic rules.

In the following situations, the RSA sys-
tem will alert the driver.
When the vehicle speed exceeds
the speed warning threshold of the
speed limit sign displayed, the sign
display will be emphasized and a
buzzer will sound.
When the RSA system recognizes a
do not enter sign and determines
that your vehicle has entered a
no-entry area, the displayed sign will
flash and a buzzer will sound.
Depending on the situation, traffic
environment (traffic direction, speed
unit) may be detected incorrectly and a
warning display may not operate prop-
erly.

■Conditions in whic h the function may
not operate or detect correctly
In the following situations, RSA does not
operate normally and may not recognize
signs, display the incorrect sign, etc. How-
ever, this does not indicate a malfunction.
●The front camera is misaligned due to a
strong impact being applied to the sen-
sor, etc.
●Dirt, snow, stickers, etc. are on the wind-
shield near the front camera.
●In inclement weather such as heavy rain,
fog, snow or sand storms
●Light from an oncoming vehicle, the sun,
etc. enters the front camera.
●The sign is dirty, faded, tilted or bent.
●All or part of the sign is hidden by the
leaves of a tree, a pole, etc.
●The sign is only visible to the front camera
for a short amount of time.
●The driving scene (turning, lane change,
etc.) is judged incorrectly.
●Even if it is a sign not appropriate for the
currently traveled lane, such a sign exists
directly after a freeway branches, or in an
adjacent lane just before merging.
●Stickers are attached to the rear of the
preceding vehicle.
●A sign resembling a system compatible
sign is recognized.
●Side road speed signs may be detected
and displayed (if positioned in sight of the
front camera) while the vehicle is travel-
ing on the main road.
●Roundabout exit road speed signs may
be detected and displayed (if positioned
in sight of the front camera) while travel-
ing on a roundabout.
●The front of the vehicle is raised or low-
ered due to the carried load.
●The surrounding brightness is not suffi-
cient or changes suddenly.
●When a sign intended for trucks, etc. is
recognized.
■Speed limit sign display
If the power switch was last turned off while
a speed limit sign was displayed on the
multi-information display, the same sign dis-
plays again when the power switch is turned
to ON mode.
■Customization
Some functions can be customized. (Cus-
tomizable features: P.479)

Outside rear view mirror indicators
When a vehicle is detected in a blind spot
of the outside rear view mirrors or
approaching rapidly from behind into a
blind spot, the outside rear view mirror
indicator on the detected side will illumi-
nate. If the turn signal lever is operated
toward the detected side, the outside rear
view mirror indicator flashes.

the multi-information display
Ice, snow, mud, etc., may be attached to the
rear bumper around the sensors. ( P.259)
The system should return to normal opera-
tion after removing the ice, snow, mud, etc.
from the rear bumper. Additionally, the sen-
sors may not operate normally when driving
in extremely hot or cold environments.
■Customization

( P.479)
BSM (Blind Spot Monitor)
The Blind Spot Monitor is a system
that uses rear side radar sensors
installed on the inner side of the
rear bumper on the left and right
side to assist the driver in confirm-
ing safety when changing lanes.
WARNING
■Cautions regarding the use of the sys-
tem
The driver is solely responsible for safe
driving. Always driv e safely, taking care
to observe your surroundings.
The Blind Spot Monitor is a supplemen-
tary function which alerts the driver that a
vehicle is in a blind spot of the outside
rear view mirrors or is approaching rap-
idly from behind into a blind spot. Do not
overly rely on the Blind Spot Monitor. As
the function cannot judge if it is safe to
change lanes, over reliance could lead to
an accident resulting in death or serious
injury.
As the system may not function correctly
under certain conditions, the driver’s own
visual confirmation of safety is necessary.

WARNING
●Keep the sensors and the surrounding
areas on the rear bumper clean at all
times.
If a sensor or its su rrounding area on the
rear bumper is dirty or covered with
snow, the Blind Spot Monitor may not
operate and a warning message
( P.258) will be displayed. In this situa-
tion, clear off the dirt or snow and drive
the vehicle with the operation conditions
of the BSM function ( P.262) satisfied
for approximately 10 minutes. If the
warning message does not disappear,
have the vehicle inspected by your Lexus
dealer.
●Do not attach accessories, stickers
(including transparen t stickers), alumi-
num tape, etc. to a sensor or its sur-
rounding area on the rear bumper.
●Do not subject a sensor or its sur-
rounding area on the rear bumper to a
strong impact.
If a sensor is moved even slightly off
position, the system may malfunction
and vehicles may not be detected cor-
rectly.
In the following situations, have your
vehicle inspected by your Lexus
dealer.
• A sensor or its surrounding area is subject to a strong impact.
• If the surrounding area of a sensor is scratched or dented, or part of them
has become disconnected.
●Do not disassemb le the sensor.
●Do not modify the sensor or surround-
ing area on the rear bumper.
●If a sensor or the rear bumper needs to
be removed/installed or replaced,
contact your Lexus dealer.
●Do not paint the rear bumper any
color other than an official Lexus color.
