In the situations below, the system may not be able to correctly detect the
surrounding brightness levels, and may flash or expose nearby pedestrians
to the high beam. Therefore, you should consider turning the high beams on
or off manually rather than relying on the Automatic High Beam system.
• In bad weather (rain, snow, fog, sandstorms etc.)
• The windshield is obscured by fog, mist, ice, dirt etc.
• The windshield is cracked or damaged.
• The inside rear view mirror or camera sensor is deformed or dirty.
• The camera sensor temperature is extremely high.
• Surrounding brightness levels are equal to those of headlights, tail lights
or fog lights.
• Vehicles ahead have headlights that are either switched off, dirty, are
changing color, or have are not aimed properly.
• When driving through an area of intermittently changing brightness and
darkness.
• When frequently and repeatedly driving ascending/descending roads, or
roads with rough, bumpy or uneven surfaces (such as stone-paved roads,
gravel tracks etc.).
• When frequently and repeatedly taking curves or driving on a winding
road.
• There is a highly reflective object ahead of the vehicle, such as a sign or
a mirror.
• The back of a vehicle ahead is highly reflective, such as a container on a
truck.
• The vehicle’s headlights are damaged or dirty.
• The vehicle is listing or tilting, due to a flat tire, a trailer being towed etc.
• The high beam and low beam are repeatedly being switched between in
an abnormal manner.
• The driver believes that the high beam may be causing problems or dis-
tress to other drivers or pedestrians nearby.
CAUTION
Limitations of the Automatic High Beam
Do not rely on the Automatic High Beam. Always drive safely, taking care
to observe your surroundings and turning high beam on or off manually if
necessary.

CAUTION
Situations unsuitable for LKA
Do not use LKA in any of the following situations.
Otherwise, the system may not function correctly and could result in an
accident.
When driving with snow tires, tire chains, a spare tire, or similar equip-
ment
When the tires have been excessively worn, or when the tire inflation
pressure is low
When there are objects or structures along the roadside that might be mis-
interpreted as lane markers (such as guardrails, curb, reflector posts, etc.)
When driving on snowy roads
When pavement lane markers are difficult to see due to rain, snow, fog,
sand, dirt, etc.
When there are visible lines on the pavement from road repairs, or if the
remains of old lane markers are still visible on the road
When driving on slippery roads, such as those covered with rain, ice or
snow
When driving in a lane other than the driving or passing lanes on a free-
way or highway
When driving on a road with lane closures due to maintenance, or when
driving in a temporary lane
When towing a trailer
NOTICE
To prevent damage to or incorrect operation of the LKA system
Do not modify the headlights or attach stickers to the surface of the lights.
Do not modify the suspension, or replace them with non-genuine parts.
Do not install or place anything on the hood or the grille. Also, do not
install a grille guard (bull bars, kangaroo bar etc.).
Do not modify the sun visor or replace it with anything other than a genu-
ine Lexus product.
If your windshield needs repairs, contact any authorized Lexus dealer or
repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional.

4124-5. Using the driving support system
GS450h_300h_OM_OM30D53E_(EE)
Situations in which the pre-crash safety system does not function properly
The system may not function effectively in situations such as the following:
On roads with sharp bends or uneven surfaces
If a vehicle suddenly moves in front of your vehicle, such as at an intersec-
tion
If a vehicle suddenly cuts in front of your vehicle, such as when overtaking
In inclement weather such as heavy rain, fog, snow or sand storms
When your vehicle is skidding
When your vehicle is steeply inclined
When the radar sensor moves off position due to its surrounding area being
subjected to a strong impact
Automatic cancelation of the pre-crash safety system
When a malfunction occurs due to sensor contamination, etc. that results in
the sensors being unable to detect obstacles, the pre-crash safety system will
be automatically disabled. In this case, the system will not activate even if
there is a collision possibility.
When there is a malfunction in the system, or if the system is temporarily
unusable
“PCS” warning light will flash and warning messages will be displayed.

Before using the Lexus night view
Never depend on this system only.
Lexus night view is intended as a supplemental aid to help you see pedestri-
ans and road conditions ahead of the vehicle. As there are limits to the sys-
tem, do not rely solely on the system while in use, and drive safely while
observing the following precautions.
When using the Lexus night view
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may cause an accident resulting in death or serious injury.
Never drive while looking at the Lexus night view screen only.
Do not look continuously at the Lexus night view screen while driving.
Pedestrians, objects etc. ahead of the vehicle may be overlooked by the
system. The system should always be used as a supplemental aid only.
Lexus night view is designed to help you see objects better when driving
in darkness on a road with few curves. Do not use the Lexus night view in
well-lit areas or on roads with many curves or slopes. There may be areas
that cannot be displayed by the system due to the road conditions (curve
size, gradient, etc.)
Lexus night view may be unable to project some features at an appropriate
level of brightness. Some or all parts of certain features may be dark or
difficult to see. Do not rely solely on the Lexus night view, and drive care-
fully while checking the surroundings for safety, as you would with a nor-
mal vehicle. Also, the following features and conditions may not be
displayed clearly.
Features that are difficult to display:
• Clothing of a pedestrian made of a certain kind of material (ex. leather
jackets)
• The characters on signs and billboards
• The information on road signs
Conditions in which display is difficult:
• Unfavorable weather conditions such as rain, fog, snowfall, snow
storms etc.
• There are large puddles of water on the road surface following rainfall
• The area of the front windshield in front of the camera is fogged up,
dirty or icy
• The areas around the headlights are covered with ice, snow, mud etc.
• The 12-volt battery voltage is remarkably low
• There are bright lights ahead of the vehicle

Press .
The dehumidification function
operates and fan speed increases.
Set the outside/recirculated air
mode button to outside air mode if
the recirculated air mode is used.
(It may switch automatically.)
To defog the windshield and the
side windows early, turn the air
flow and temperature up.
To return to the previous mode,
press
again when the wind-
shield is defogged.

GS450h_300h_OM_OM30D53E_(EE)
Air conditioning odors
During use, various odors from inside and outside the vehicle may enter
into and accumulate in the air conditioning system. This may then cause
odor to be emitted from the vents.
To reduce potential odors from occurring:
• It is recommended that the air conditioning system be set to outside air
mode prior to turning the vehicle off.
• The start timing of the blower may be delayed for a short period of time
immediately after the air conditioning system is started in automatic
mode.
nanoe *1 system (if equipped)
The air conditioning system adopts nanoe generator. This helps to provide
clean air and moisture by emitting electrically charged ions coated with
water particles through the front center vent on driver’s side
*2.
When the fan is turned on and is selected, the nanoe system is acti-
vated.
When the fan is operated in the following conditions, system performance
will be maximized. If the following conditions are not met, performance
will be limited.
• The , or air outlets are being used.
• The front center vent on driver’s side is open.
When nanoe is generated, a small amount of ozone is emitted and may be
faintly smelled in some situations. However, this is approximately the same
as the amount that already exists in nature, such as in forests, and it has no
affect on the human body.
A slight noise may be heard during operation. This is not a malfunction.
*1:nanoe and the nanoe mark are trademarks of Panasonic Corporation.
*2: According to temperature and humidity conditions, fan speed and direc-
tion of the air flow, the nanoe system may not operate at full capacity.
