The ABS does not operate effectively when
The limits of tire gripping performance have been exceeded (such as exces-
sively worn tires on a snow covered road).
The vehicle hydroplanes while driving at high speed on wet or slick road.
Stopping distance when the ABS is operating may exceed that of normal condi-
tions
The ABS is not designed to shorten the vehicle’s stopping distance. Always
maintain a safe distance from the vehicle in front of you, especially in the fol-
lowing situations:
When driving on dirt, gravel or snow-covered roads
When driving with tire chains
When driving over bumps in the road
When driving over roads with potholes or uneven surfaces
TRC may not operate effectively when
Directional control and power may not be achievable while driving on slippery
road surfaces, even if the TRC system is operating.
Drive the vehicle carefully in conditions where stability and power may be lost.
When the VSC is activated
The slip indicator light flashes. Always drive carefully. Reckless driving may
cause an accident. Exercise particular care when the indicator light flashes.
When the TRC system is turned off
Be especially careful and drive at a speed appropriate to the road conditions. As
these are the system to help ensure vehicle stability and driving force, do not
turn the TRC system off unless necessary.
Replacing tires
Make sure that all tires are of the specified size and of the same brand, tread
pattern and total load capacity. In addition, make sure that the tires are inflated
to the recommended tire inflation pressure level.
The ABS, VSC and TRC systems will not function correctly if different tires
are installed on the vehicle.
Contact any authorized Lexus dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and
equipped professional for further information when replacing tires or wheels.
Handling of tires and the suspension
Using tires with any kind of problem or modifying the suspension will affect
the driving assist systems, and may cause a system to malfunction.

Limitations of the pre-crash safety system
Do not overly rely on the pre-crash safety system. Always drive safely, taking
care to observe your surroundings and checking for any obstacles or other road
hazards.
Failure to do so may cause an accident resulting in death or serious injury.
Cautions regarding the assist contents of the system
By means of alarms and brake control, the pre-crash safety system is intended
to assist the driver in avoiding collisions through the process of LOOK-
JUDGE-ACT. There are limits to the degree of assistance the system can pro-
vide, so please keep in mind the following important points.
Assisting the driver in watching the road
The pre-crash safety system is only able to detect obstacles directly in front of
the vehicle, and only within a limited range. 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 the driver to pay close
attention to the vehicle’s surroundings.
Assisting the driver in making correct judgement
When attempting to estimate the possibility of a collision, the only data avail-
able to the pre-crash safety system is that from obstacles it has detected
directly in front of the vehicle. Therefore, it is absolutely necessary for the
driver to remain vigilant and to determine whether or not there is a possibility
of collision in any given situation.
Assisting the driver in taking action
The pre-crash safety system’s braking assist feature is designed to help reduce
the severity of a collision, and so only acts when the system has judged that a
collision is unavoidable. This system by itself is not capable of automatically
avoiding a collision or bringing the vehicle to a stop safely. For this reason,
when encountering a dangerous situation the driver must take direct and
immediate action in order to ensure the safety of all involved.
