tem in order to reduce changes in the cabin temperature.
●To ensure air conditioning system performanc e when the vehicle is stopped, disable the
Stop & Start system by pressing the Stop & Start cancel switch.
■Changing the idling stop time with the air conditioning system on
The length of time the Stop & Start system will operate when the air conditioning system

■Temporary cancelation of the LDA system functions
If any of the following occurs, the LDA system functions will be temporarily canceled. The functions will resume after the necessary operating conditions have returned.
●The turn signal lever is operated.
●The vehicle speed deviates from the operating range of the LDA system functions.
●When the lane lines cannot be recognized while driving.
●When the lane departure warning sounds.
The lane departure warning function will not operate again for a several seconds after it has been activated, even if the vehicle leaves the lane again.
■The lane departure warning
Depending on the audio system sound level or air conditioning fan noise while the audio system or air conditioning system is in use, it may be difficult to hear the warning sound.
■After the vehicle has been parked in the sun
The LDA system may not be available and a warning message ( P. 603) will be dis- played for a while after driving has started. When the temperature in the cabin decreasesand the temperature around the camera sensor ( P. 314) becomes suitable for its oper-
ation, the functions will begin to operate.
■If there are lane markers on only one side of the vehicle
The lane departure warning will not operate fo r the side on which lane markers could not
be recognized.
■Conditions in which the function may not operate correctly
In the following situations, the camera sensor may be unable to recognize lane markers
causing the lane departure warning function to operate incorrectly. However, this does not indicate a malfunction.
●When driving through an area with no lane markers, such as a tollbooth, a crossing or
before a ticket checkpoint
●When driving on a sharp curve
●When lane markers are extremely narrow or extremely wide
●When the vehicle leans to one side an unusual amount due to a heavy load or improper tire inflation pressure
●When the following distance between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead is extremely
short
●When the lane markers are yellow (These ma y be more difficult for the system to rec- ognize compared to white markers.)
●When the lane markers are broken, Botts’ dots (raised pavement markers) or stones
●When the lane markers are on a curb etc.
●When lane markers are obscured or partially obscured by sand, dirt, etc.
●When there are shadows on the road running parallel with lane markers, or if a shadow covers the lane markers
●When driving on a partic ularly bright road surface, such as concrete
●When driving on a road surface that is bright due to reflected light
●When driving in a location where the light level changes rapidly, such as the entrance to
or exit from a tunnel

maneuvering into a garage is measured by the sensors and communicated via
the multi-information display, Lexus Display Audio screen and a buzzer.
Always check the surrounding ar ea when using this system.

WARNING
• When an object is directly under a bumper • When objects become too close to the sensors• When a non-genuine Lexus suspension (l owered suspension, etc.) is installed
In addition to the situations above, there are instances in which, because of their shape, signs and other objects may be judged by th e sensor to be closer than they are.
●The shape of an object may prevent the sensor from detecting it. Pay particular atten-
tion to the following:
• Wires, fences, ropes, etc. • Cotton, snow and other materials that absorb sound waves
• Sharply-angled objects •Low objects• Tall objects with upper sections projecting outwards in the direction of your vehi-
cle • People, animals and other moving objects• People wearing certain types of clothing
●The following situations may occur when using the Lexus parking assist-sensor.
• Depending on the shape of the object and other factors, the detection distance
may be shortened, or detection may not be possible. • Objects may not be detected if they are too close to a sensor.• There will be a short delay between the de tection of an object and display of the
detection. Even at slow speeds, there is a possibility that the object will come within a sensor’s detection area before the display is shown and a warning beep sounds.
• Thin posts or objects lower than a sensor may not be detected when approached, even if they have been detected once.• It might be difficult to hear beeps due to the volume of the audio system or air flow
noise of the air conditioning system.
