The installation of a mobile two-way radio system in your vehicle could affect elec-
tronic systems such as:
●Multiport fuel injection system/sequential multiport fuel injection system
●Dynamic radar cruise control system
●Cruise control system
●Anti-lock brake system
●SRS airbag system
●Seat belt pretensioner system
Be sure to check with your Lexus dealer for precautionary measures or special
instructions regarding installation of a mobile two-way radio system.
Hybrid vehicles: High voltage parts and cables on the hybrid vehicles emit approxi-
mately the same amount of electromagnetic waves as the conventional gasoline
powered vehicles or home electronic appliances despite of their electromagnetic
shielding.
Hybrid vehicles: Unwanted noise may occur in the reception of the mobile two-way
radio.

4-5. Using the driving support systems
■Dynamic radar cruise control can be set when
●The shift lever is in D or range 4 or higher of S has been selected.
●Vehicle speed is above approximately 30 mph (50 km/h).
■Accelerating after setting the vehicle speed
The vehicle can accelerate normally. After acceleration, the set speed resumes.
However, during vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode, the vehicle speed may

Vehicle-to-vehicle distance control driving is automatically canceled in the following
situations:
●Actual vehicle speed falls below approximately 25 mph (40 km/h).
●VSC is activated.
●The sensor cannot operate correctly because it is covered in some way.
●The windshield wipers are operating at high speed (when the wipers are in AUTO
mode or the high speed wiper operation).
If vehicle-to-vehicle distance control driv ing is automatically canceled for any other
reason, there may be a malfunction in the system. Contact your Lexus dealer.
