Buzzer operation and distance to an obstacle
A beep sounds when the corner sensors and center sensors are operat-
ing.
● The buzzer beeps faster as the vehicle approaches an obstacle.
When the vehicle comes within the fo llowing distance of the obstacle,
the buzzer sounds continuously.
• Front corner sensors: Approximately 1.1 ft. (35 cm)
• Front center sensors: Approximately 1.0 ft. (30 cm)
• Rear corner sensors: Approximately 0.8 ft. (25 cm)
• Rear center sensors: Approximately 1.3 ft. (40 cm)
● When 2 or more obstacles are detected simultaneously, the buzzer
system responds to the nearest obstacle.

Approximately 3.3 ft. (100 cm)
Approximately 4.9 ft. (150 cm)
Approximately 2.0 ft. (60 cm)
Approximately 1.8 ft. (55 cm)
The diagram shows the detection
range of the sensors. Note that the
sensors may not be able to detect
obstacles that are extremely close
to the vehicle.
The range of the sensors may
change depending on the shape of
the object etc.

■Sensor detection information
●Certain vehicle conditions and the surrounding environment may affect the
ability of a sensor to correctly detect an obstacle. Particular instances where this
may occur are listed below.
• There is dirt, snow or ice on a sensor.
• A sensor is frozen.
• A sensor is covered in any way.
• The vehicle is leaning considerably to one side.
• On an extremely bumpy road, on an incline, on gravel, or on grass.
• The vicinity of the vehicle is noisy due to vehicle horns, motorcycle engines,air brakes of large vehicles, or other loud noises producing ultrasonic waves.
• There is another vehicle equipped with parking assist sensors in the vicinity.
• A sensor is coated with a sheet of spray or heavy rain.
• The vehicle is equipped with a fender pole or radio antenna.
• Towing eyelets are installed.
• A bumper or sensor receives a strong impact.
• The vehicle is approaching a tall or right-angled curb.
• In harsh sunlight or intense cold weather.
• A non-genuine Lexus suspension (lowered suspension etc.) is installed.
In addition to the examples above, there are instances in which, because of their
shape, signs and other objects may be judged by a sensor to be closer than they
are.
●The shape of the obstacle may prevent a sensor from detecting it. Pay particular
attention to the following obstacles:
• Wires, fences, ropes, etc.
• Cotton, snow and other materials that absorb sound waves
• Sharply-angled objects
• Low obstacles
• Tall obstacles with upper sections projecting outwards in the direction of your vehicle

LDA (Lane Departure Alert)∗
∗: If equipped
While driving on a freeway or motor highway that has lane markings, this
system recognizes the lanes using a camera as a sensor to alert the driver
when the vehicle deviates from its lane.
If the system judges that the vehicle may deviate from its lane, it alerts
the driver using rapid beeping and indications on the multi-information
display.
■Turning the LDA system on
The system will be activated depending on the recognizability of
lane markings and on the vehicle speed.
Press the “LDA” switch to acti-
vate the system.
The “LDA” indicator will come
on.
Press the switch again to turn
the LDA system off.
