GX460_OM_OM60L72U_(U)4-2. Driving procedures
■When the steering lock cannot be released
■Steering lock motor overheating prevention
To prevent the steering lock motor from overheating, the motor may be suspended if the
engine is turned on and off repeatedly in a sh
ort period of time. In this case, refrain from
running the engine. After about 10 seconds, the steering lock motor will resume func-
tioning.
■When the engine switch indicator flashes in amber
The system may be malfunctioning. Have the vehicle inspected by your Lexus dealer,
immediately.
■If the electronic key battery is depleted
 P. 4 8 3
■If the smart access system with push-butto n start has been deactivated in a customized
setting
 P. 5 4 9
The green indicator light on the engine switch
will flash and a message will be shown on the
multi-information display. Press the engine
switch again while turn
ing the steering wheel
left and right.
CAUTION
■When starting the engine
Always start the engine while sitting in the driver’s seat. Do not depress the accelerator
pedal while starting the engine under any circumstances.
Doing so may cause an accident resu lting in death or serious injury.
■Caution while driving
If engine failure occurs while the vehicle is moving, do not lock or open the doors until
the vehicle reaches a safe and complete stop. Activation of the steering lock in this cir-
cumstance may lead to an accident, re sulting in death or serious injury.
■Stopping the engine in an emergency
If you want to stop the engine in an emergency while driving the vehicle, press and hold
the engine switch for more than 2 seconds, or press it briefly 3 times or more in succes-

However, do not touch the engine switch while driving except in an emergency. Turning
the engine off while driving will not cause lo ss of steering or braking control, but the
power assist to these systems will be lost. Th is will make it more difficult to steer and
brake, so you should pull over and stop the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do so.

Driving
Example of constant speed cruising
When there are no vehicles ahead
The vehicle travels at the speed set by the driver. The desired vehicle-to-vehicle dis-
tance can also be set by operating the vehicle-to-vehicle distance control.
Example of deceleration cruising
When the vehicle ahead is driving slower than the set speed
When a vehicle is detected running ahead of you, the system automatically deceler-
ates your vehicle. When a greater reduction in vehicle speed is necessary, the system
applies the brakes. A warning tone warns yo u when the system cannot decelerate suf-
ficiently to prevent your vehicle from closing in on the vehicle ahead.
Example of follow-up cruising
When following a vehicle driving slower than the set speed
The system continues follow-up cruising wh ile adjusting for changes in the speed of
the vehicle ahead in order to maintain the vehicle-to-vehicle distance set by the driver.
Example of acceleration
When there are no longer any vehicles ahead driving slower than the set
speed
The system accelerates until the set speed is reached. The system then returns to con-
stant speed cruising.
When your vehicle is too close to a vehicle ahead, and sufficient automatic
deceleration via the cruise control is no t possible, the display will flash and the
buzzer will sound to alert the driver. An ex ample of this would be if another driver
cuts in front of you while you are followi ng a vehicle. Apply the brakes to ensure
an appropriate vehicle-to-vehicle distance.
■Warnings may not occur when
In the following instances, there is a po ssibility that the warnings will not occur:
●When the speed of the vehicle ahead matches or exceeds your vehicle
speed
●When the vehicle ahead is traveling at an extremely slow speed
●Immediately after the cruise control speed was set
●As the instant the accelerator is applied

LDA (Lane Departure Alert)
While driving on a road that has lane ma
rkers, this system recognizes the white

deviates from its lane.
If the system judges that the vehicle may deviate from its lane, it alerts the driver
using beeping and indications on the multi-information display.
Camera sensor
Press the “LDA” switch to activate the
system.

●When the lane width is between approximately 9.8 and 13.1 ft. (3 and 4 m)
●When driving on a straight road or through a curve with a radius of more than
approximately 656 ft. (200 m)
When the LDA system is on, the lane lines are shown.
When thin lines are shown:
Lane markers are not recognized by
the system, or the LDA system is tem-
porarily canceled.
When solid lane lines are shown:
The LDA system is active.
If the vehicle deviates from the lane, the
lane line will flash.
