■System check display
The “LEXUS HYBRID DRIVE” message is displayed 3 seconds after the
“POWER” switch is set to the ON mode. At this time a systems check is conducted,
and the normal display is shown upon successful completion of this check.
NOTICE
■The multi-information display at low temperatures
Allow the interior of the vehicle to warm up before using the liquid crystal informa-
tion display. At extremely low temperatures, the information display monitor may
respond slowly, and display changes may be delayed.

to activate the cruise control.
Press the button once more to
deactivate the cruise control.
Switch to constant speed
control mode.
(Push the lever away from
you and hold for approxi-
mately 1 second.)
Vehicle-to-vehicle distance con-
trol mode is always reset when
the “POWER” switch is
switched to ON mode.
■ Adjusting the speed setting
Increase speed
Decrease speed
Hold the lever until the desired
speed setting is displayed.
In the constant speed control
mode, fine adjustment of the set
speed (approximately 1.0 mph
[1.6 km/h]) can be made by
lightly pressing the lever up or
down and releasing it.

Cancel
Pull the lever towards you to
cancel cruise control.
The setting is also canceled
when the brake pedal is
depressed.
Resume
To resume cruise control and
return to the set speed, push the
lever up.
■Changing the vehicle-to-vehicle distance
Each pull of the switch changes
the vehicle-to-vehicle distance
Long

The vehicle-to-vehicle distance
is automatically set to the long
mode when the “POWER”
switch is set to the ON mode.
A mark will be displayed to indi-
cate the presence of the vehicle

Example of follow-up cruising 
When following a vehicle driving slower than the set speed
The system continues follow-up cruising while adjusting for changes in the
speed of the vehicle ahead in order to maintain the vehicle-to-vehicle dis-
tance set by the driver.
Example of acceleration 
When there are no longer vehicles driving slower than the set speed in
the lane ahead
When the vehicle ahead of you executes a lane change, the system slowly
accelerates until the set vehicle speed is reached. The system then returns to
fixed speed cruising.
Approach warning
When your vehicle is too close to a vehicle ahead, and sufficient auto-
matic deceleration via the cruise cont rol is not possible, the display will
flash and buzzer will sound to alert th e driver. An example of this would
be if another driver cuts in front of you while you are following a vehicle.
Apply the brakes to ensure an appr opriate vehicle-to-vehicle distance.
■Warning lights and messages for dynamic radar cruise control
Warning lights, messages and buzzers are us ed to indicate a system malfunction or
to inform the driver of the need for caution while driving. ( P. 5 0 2 )
■Switching modes
The mode cannot be switched to constant speed control mode if vehicle-to-vehicle
distance control mode has been used. The mode also cannot be switched from
constant speed control to vehicle-to-vehic le control mode. Turn the system off by
pressing the “ON-OFF” button, and turn it on again.

Intuitive parking assist (if equipped)
Intuitive parking assist uses sensors in the front and rear of the vehicle to
detect the distance between the vehicle and any obstacles, and informs the
driver of this distance using the mult i-information display, the touch screen,
and warning beeps. 
The system may be used at speeds less than about 6 mph (10 km/h).
■ Sensor types
Dual sensors
There are 4 sensors installed in the front bumper, two in the center section
to detect obstacles directly ahead, an d one in each corner of the bumper,
to detect obstacles in those areas. 
The dual sensors detect obstacles ahea d of the vehicle, and judge whether
avoidance maneuvers are necessary (whether the obstacle will come
within 0.8 ft. [25 cm] of the vehicl e), according to the distance between
the obstacle and the vehicle, and the steering wheel position. The screen
display and beeps will change accordingly.
Rear corner sensors
These sensors detect obstacles around the rear corners of the vehicle.
Back sensors
These sensors detect obstacles behind the vehicle.

Multi-information display and touch screenIf the sensors detect an obstacle, it is displayed on the multi-information
display in the instrument cluster. 

Sensor detection display, obstacle distance and beepsWhen the intuitive parking assist is activated, the approximate distance to
the obstacle is displayed. Also, if an obstacle with which a collision is pos-
sible is detected, a warning beep will sound.

Steering guide symbolDisplays the steering mane uvers required to avoid an obstacle. Move the
steering wheel in the direction shown by the arrow.
The steering guide symbol only
shows the maneuvers necessary to
avoid an obstacle.
When using the system, always
check your surroundings for
safety.
Beeps and obstacle distance
A beep sounds when an obstacle with which there is a danger of collision
is detected. As the vehicle moves clos er to the obstacle, the interval of
the beep becomes shorter.
● When the following obstacle distan ces are reached, the beep changes
from intermittent to continuous:
• If the distance to the obstacle detected by the dual sensors or rear corner
sensors is less than 0.8 ft. (25 cm).
• If the distance to the obstacle detected by the back sensors is less than 1.1
ft. (35 cm).
● If obstacles are detected by the dual sensors in 2 places at once, or if
both rear corner sensors detect obst acles at the same time, the system
will sound a warning beep for the closer of the 2 obstacles.
