●The intrusion sensor detects intruders or movement in the vehicle. 
●The tilt sensor detects changes in ve hicle inclination, such as when the 
vehicle is towed away. 
This system is designed to deter an d prevent vehicle theft but does not 
guarantee absolute security against all intrusions. 
■Setting the intrusion sensor and tilt sensor 
The intrusion sensor and tilt sensor will be set automatically when the 
alarm is set. ( P. 112)
■Canceling the intrusion sensor and tilt sensor 
If you are leaving pets or other moving things inside the vehicle, make 
sure to stop the intrusion sensor and tilt sensor before setting the alarm,
as they will respond to movement inside the vehicle. 
Turn the engine switch off. 
Press the intrusion sensor and 
tilt sensor cancel switch.
A message will be shown on the 
multi-information display in the
instrument cluster. 
Press the switch again to re-enable 
the intrusion sensor and tilt sensor.

■Canceling and automatic re-enabling of the intrusion sensor and tilt sensor
●The alarm will still be set even when the intrusion sensor and tilt sensor are can- 
celed.
●After the intrusion sensor and tilt sensor are canceled, pressing the engine switch
or unlocking the doors using the entry function or wireless remote control will re-
enable the intrusion sensor and tilt sensor.
●The intrusion sensor and tilt sensor will automatically be re-enabled when the
alarm system is deactivated.
■Intrusion sensor detection considerations 
The sensor may trigger the alarm in the following situations:
●Places with extreme vibrations or noises, or situations in which the vehicle is subject 
to repeated impacts or vibrations: 
• When parked in a parking garage 
• When the vehicle is transported by a ferry, trailer, train, etc.
• When ice adhering to the vehicle is removed
• When the vehicle is in an automatic or high-pressure car wash
• When in a hail or lightning storm
●A window or the moon roof is open. 
In this case, the sensor may detect the fol-
lowing: 
• Wind or the movement of objects such as 
leaves and insects inside the vehicle 
• Ultrasonic waves emitted from devices 
such as the intrusion sensors of other
vehicles 
• The movement of people outside the 
vehicle
●Unstable items, such as dangling accesso- 
ries or clothes hanging on the coat hooks,
are in the vehicle.

■Tilt sensor detection considerations 
The sensor may trigger the alarm in the following situations:
●The vehicle is transported by a ferry, trailer, train, etc.
●The vehicle is parked in a parking garage.
●The vehicle is inside a car wash that moves the vehicle.
●Any of the tires loses air pressure.
●The vehicle is jacked up.
●An earthquake occurs or the road caves in.
NOTICE
■To ensure the intrusion sensor functions correctly
●Installing accessories other than genuine Lexus parts or leaving objects between 
the driver’s seat and front passenger’s seat may reduce the detection perfor-
mance.
●To ensure that the sensors operate prop-
erly, do not touch or cover them.
●Do not spray air fresheners or other prod-
ucts directly into the sensor holes.

performed, ECO lamp (blue) will illuminate. (ECO lamp will become brighter the
more Eco-friendly your driving is. Also, while the vehicle is stopped or the acceler-
ation exceeds Zone of Eco driving, ECO lamp turns off. ( P. 132) However, when 
Eco drive mode is selected, while the vehicle is stopped or the acceleration
exceeds Zone of Eco driving, ECO lamp does not turn off.):

Operation of each component

■When using the rear seat head restraints 
Manual type:  
Always raise the head restraint one level from the stowed position when using. 
Rear center seat:  
Make sure to pull the head restraint forward when using the rear center seat.
■Active head restraints (if equipped)
●The active head restraint on the front passenger seat will not activate if the seat is
unoccupied. However, it may activate during a rear-end collision if luggage is in the
seat or the seat belt is fastened.
●Once the active head restraint has activated, the head restraint remains protruded
forward and upward. After it has operated, have it repaired at your Lexus dealer.
CAUTION
■Head restraint precautions 
Observe the following precautions regarding the head restraints. Failure to do so 
may result in death or serious injury.
●Use the head restraints designed for each respective seat.
●Adjust the head restraints to the correct position at all times.
●Manual type: After adjusting the head restraints, push down on them and make
sure they are locked in position.
●Do not drive with the head restraints removed.
■The active head restraint on the front passenger seat (if equipped) 
Do not place anything, such as a cushion, on the front passenger’s seat.  
Doing so will disperse the passenger’s weight, which may prevents the sensor from
detecting the passenger’s weight properly. As a result, the active head restraint
may not activate in the event of an accident.
■Active head restraint precautions (if equipped)
●Do not put head restraint covers.
●For removal, installation, modification, disassembly or disposal of the active head
restraints, contact your Lexus dealer. 
Inappropriate handling of the active head restraints may prevent them from oper-
ating properly during an accident.

2884-3. Operating the lights and wipers
LS460/LS460L_GE (OM50G06E)
AFS (Adaptive Front-lighting System) secures excellent visibility at inter- 
sections and on curves by automatically adjusting the direction of the light 
axis of the headlights according to vehicle speed and the degree of the 
tire’s angle as controlled by steering input.
AFS operates at speeds of 10 km/h (6 mph) or higher.
■Daytime running light system 
To make your vehicle more visible to othe r drivers during daytime driving, the day- 
time running lights turn on automatically whenever the engine is started and the 
parking brake is released with the headlight switch off or in the   position. (Illumi- 
nate brighter than the front position ligh ts.) Daytime running lights are not designed 
for use at night.
■Headlight control sensor
AFS (Adaptive Front-lighting System)
The sensor may not function properly if an
object is placed on the sensor, or anything
that blocks the sensor is affixed to the wind-
shield. 
Doing so interferes with the sensor detecting
the level of ambient light and may cause the
automatic headlight system to malfunction.
