■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 at or above 
approximately 30 mph (50 km/h).
■Accelerating after setting the vehicle speed
The vehicle can accelerate by operating the  accelerator pedal. After accelerating, the
set speed resumes. However, during vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode, the vehi-
cle speed may decrease below the set speed in  order to maintain the distance to the pre-
ceding vehicle.
■Automatic cancelation of vehicle- to-vehicle distance control mode
Vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode is  automatically canceled in the following situ-
ations.
●Actual vehicle speed falls  at or below approximately 25 mph (40 km/h).
●VSC is activated.
●TRAC is activated for a period of time.
●When the VSC or TRAC system is turned  off by pressing the VSC OFF switch.
●The sensor cannot detect correctly because it is covered in some way.
●Pre-collision braking is activated.
If vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode  is automatically canceled for any other rea-
son, there may be a malfunction in th e system. Contact your Lexus dealer.
■Automatic cancelation of constant speed control mode
Constant speed control mode is automatica lly canceled in the following situations:
●Actual vehicle speed is more than approxim ately 10 mph (16 km/h) below the set vehi-
cle speed.
●Actual vehicle speed falls below  approximately 25 mph (40 km/h).
●VSC is activated.
●TRAC is activated for a period of time.
●When the VSC or TRAC system is turned off.
●Pre-collision braking is activated.
If constant speed control mode is automati cally canceled for any other reason, there may
be a malfunction in the system . Contact your Lexus dealer.
■Warning messages and buzzers fo r dynamic radar cruise control
Warning messages and buzzers are used to  indicate a system malfunction or to inform
the driver of the need for ca ution while driving. If a warning message is shown on the
multi-information display, read the  message and follow the instructions.

Intuitive parking assist∗
∗: If equipped
The distance from your vehicle to nearby obstacles when parallel parking or
maneuvering into a garage is measured 
by the sensors and communicated via
the multi-information display, navigation system screen or Lexus Display
Audio system screen and a buzzer. Always check the surrounding area when
using this system.

When on, the indicator light comes on
to inform the driver that the system is
operational.
When the sensors detect an obstacle, a 
graphic is shown on the multi-informa-
tion display and navigation system scre en or Lexus Display Audio system screen
depending on the position and distance to the obstacle.

●The shape of the obstacle may prevent the 
sensor from detecting it. Pay particular
attention to the following obstacles:
• Wires, fences, ropes, etc.
• Cotton, snow and other materi als that absorb sound waves
• Sharply-angled objects
• Low obstacles
• Tall obstacles with upper sections projecting  outwards in the direction of your vehi-
cle
●The following situations may occur during use.
• Depending on the shape of the obstacle  and other factors, the detection distance
may shorten, or detect ion may be impossible.
• Obstacles may not be detected if they are too close to the sensor.
• There will be a short delay between obstacle detection and display. Even at slow speeds, there is a possibility th at the obstacle will come within the sensor’s detection
areas before the display is shown and the warning beep sounds.
• Thin posts or objects lower than the sens or may not be detected for collision when
approached, even if they have been detected once.
• It might be difficult to hear beeps due to th e volume of audio system or air flow noise
of air conditioning system.
■If “Clean Parking Assist Sensor” is di splayed on the multi-information display
A sensor may be dirty or covered with snow or ic e. In such cases, if it is removed from the
sensor, the system should return to normal.  Also, due to the sensor being frozen at low
temperatures, a malfunction display may appear  or an obstacle may not be detected. If
the sensor thaws out, the syst em should return to normal.
■If “Parking Assist Malfunction” is di splayed on the multi-information display
Depending on the malfunction  of the sensor, the device may not be working normally.
Have the vehicle inspected by your Lexus dealer.

WARNING
■When using the intuitive parking assist
Observe the following precautions.
Failing to do so may result in the vehicle be ing unable to be driven safely and possibly
cause an accident, resulting in death or serious injury.
●Do not use the sensor at speeds in excess of 6 mph (10 km/h).
●The sensors’ detection areas and reaction ti mes are limited. When moving forward or
reversing, check the areas surrounding the  vehicle (especially the sides of the vehi-
cle) for safety, and drive slowly, using the brake to control the vehicle’s speed.

■HD Radio™ Technology troubleshooting guide
■Reception sensitivity
●Maintaining perfect radio reception at all times is difficult due to the continually chang-
ing position of the antenna, differences in si gnal strength and surrounding objects, such
as trains, transmitters, etc.
●The radio antenna is mounted inside the rear  window. To maintain clear radio reception,
do not attach metallic window tinting or  other metallic objects to the antenna wire
mounted inside the rear window.
