When driving
Example of follow-up cruising
When following a vehicle driving slower than the set speed
The system continues follow-up cruising while adjusting for changes in the
speed of the vehicle ahead in order to maintain the vehicle-to-vehicle dis-
tance set by the driver.
Example of acceleration
When there no longer are vehicles driving slower than the set speed in
the lane ahead
When the vehicle ahead of you executes a lane change, the system slowly
accelerates until the set speed is reached. The system then returns to con-
stant speed cruising.
Approach warning
When your vehicle is too close to a vehicle ahead, and sufficient auto-
matic deceleration via the cruise control is not possible, the display will
flash and a 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.
Apply the brakes to ensure an appropriate vehicle-to-vehicle distance.
nDynamic radar cruise can be set when
lThe shift lever is in D. (Recommended)
Dynamic radar cruise control can also be set when the shift lever is in the S posi-
tion and range “4”, “5”, or “6” has been selected.
lVehicle speed is above approximately 30 mph (50 km/h).
nSwitching modes
The mode cannot be switched to constant speed control mode if vehicle-to-vehicle
distance control mode has been used. The mode also cannot be switched from
constant speed control to vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode. Turn the sys-
tem off by pressing the “ON-OFF” button, and turn it on again.
nAccelerating
The vehicle can accelerate normally. After acceleration, the set speed resumes.

CAUTION
nWhen using the rear view monitor system, observe the following precautions to
avoid an accident that could result in death or serious injuries:
lNever depend solely on the monitor system when reversing.
lAlways check visually and with the mirrors to confirm your intended path is clear.
lDepicted distances between objects and flat surfaces differ from actual dis-
tances.
nConditions which may affect the rear view monitor system
lIf the back of the vehicle has been hit, the camera’s position and mounting angle
may have changed. Have the vehicle inspected by your Lexus dealer.
lRapid temperature changes, such as when hot water is poured on the vehicle in
cold weather, may cause the system to function abnormally.
lIf the camera lens is dirty, it cannot transmit a clear image. Rinse with water and
wipe with a soft cloth. If extremely dirty, wash with a mild cleanser and rinse.
lThe displayed image may be darker and moving images may be slightly distorted
when the system is cold.
