instrument cluster Lexus GS300 2006 Dynamic Radar Cruise Control

Warning Display
If there is trouble somewhere in the dynamic radar cruise control while the vehicle−to−vehicle distance control mode is on, the “CRUISE”
indicator light in the instrument cluster flashes, the master warning light comes on and the warning tone sounds, and one or more of the
warning messages will appear on the multi−information display.
If a warning message appears on the display, take the appropriate measure referring to Section 3−1, “Owner’s Manual”.

Approach Warning
Dynamic radar cruise control and approach warning do not operate when the vehicle ahead is at a stop
or is driving much slower than your vehicle. Use caution for the vehicle at the end of the line in heavy
traffic or at the tollgate, the vehicle at a stop and the very slow vehicle.
If your vehicle approaches the vehicle ahead because of insufficient braking when the vehicle ahead deceler-
ates abruptly or when another vehicle cuts in ahead of you, the multi−information display flashes and beeps.
Depress the brake pedal to slow down, ensuring sufficient vehicle−to−vehicle distance.
