Warning messages are used to indicate a system malfunction or to inform the driver of
the need for caution while driving. ( →P. 511)
CAUTION
■Before using the LDA system
Do not rely solely on the LDA system. The LDA system does not drive the vehicle auto-
matically, nor does it reduce the amount of care you need to take. As such, the driver
must always assume full responsibility for understanding his/her surroundings, for
operating the steering wheel to correct the driving line, and for driving safely.
Inappropriate or negligent driving could lead to an accident.
■To avoid operating the LDA by mistake
Switch the LDA system off using the LDA switch when not in use.
■Situations unsuitable for LDA system
Do not use the LDA system in any of the following situations.
Otherwise, the system may not function correctly and could result in an accident.
●When driving with tire chains, a spare tire, or similar equipment
●When there are objects or structures along the roadside that might be misinterpreted
as lane markers (such as guardrails, a 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 a road with lane closures due to maintenance, or when driving in a
temporary lane

●If your windshield needs repairs, contact any authorized Lexus dealer or repairer, or
another duly qualified and equipped professional.
■Camera sensor
Observe the following to ensure that the LDA system functions correctly.
●Keep the windshield clean at all times.
Performance could be affected if the windshie ld is dirty, or if raindrops, condensation
or ice are adhering to the windshield.
●Do not spill liquid onto the camera sensor.
●Do not attach window tinting to the windshield.
●Do not install an antenna in front of the camera lens.
●If the area of the windshield in front of the camera sensor is fogged up, use the wind-
shield defogger to remove the fog.
When it is cold, using the heater with air blowing to the feet may allow the upper part
of the windshield to fog up. This will have a negative effect on the images.
●Do not scratch the camera lens, or let it get dirty.
When cleaning the inside of the windshield , be careful not to get any glass cleaner
etc. on the lens. Also, do not touch the lens.
For lens repair, contact any authorized Lexus dealer or repairer, or another duly qual-
ified and equipped professional.

■Obstacles not detected
The sensor cannot detect plastic obstacles such as traffic cones. There may also be occa-
sions when the sensor cannot detect pedestri ans, animals, bicycles, motorcycles, trees,
or snowdrifts.
■Situations in which the pre-crash safe ty 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 intersection
●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
●If the vehicle is skidding when VSC is not operating
●When your vehicle is steeply inclined
●When only part of your vehicle’s front end collides with, or contacts, a vehicle or object
in a frontal collision
●When the radar sensor moves off position due to its surrounding area being subjected
to a strong impact
●When an obstacle suddenly appears in front of the vehicle due to the steering wheel
being turned sharply or another cause
■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 dis-
abled. In this case, the system will not activa te even if there is a collision possibility.
■When there is a malfunction in the system or if the system is temporarily unusable
The pre-crash safety system warning light will flash and warning messages will be dis-
played. ( →P. 5 0 1 , 5 1 1 )
