■Raindrop sensor
●If the wiper is turned to “AUTO” mode while the power switch is in ON mode, the
wipers will operate once to show that “AUTO” mode is activated.
●If the temperature of the raindrop sensor is 194°F (90°C) or higher, or 5°F (-15°C)
or lower, automatic operation may not occur. In this case, operate the wipers in any
mode other than “AUTO” mode.
■If no windshield washer fluid sprays
Check that the washer nozzles are not blocked if there is washer fluid in the wind-
shield washer fluid reservoir.
■Outside rear view mirror defogger activation linked to windshield wiper operation
The outside rear view mirror defoggers automatically turn on when you operate the
windshield wipers.
The outside rear view mirror defoggers automatically turn off approximately 15 min-
utes after the wipers stop.
For details about the outside rear view mirror defoggers: P. 3 5 8
●The raindrop sensor judges the amount of
raindrops.
An optical sensor is adopted. It may not
operate properly when sunlight from the
rising or setting of the sun intermittently
strikes the windshield, or if bugs etc. are
present on the windshield.
CAUTION
■Caution regarding the use of windshield wipers in “AUTO” mode
The windshield wipers may operate unexpect edly if the sensor is touched or the
windshield is subject to vibration in “AUTO” mode. Take care that your fingers or
anything else do not become ca ught in the windshield wipers.
■Caution regarding the use of washer fluid
When it is cold, do not use the washer fluid until the windshield becomes warm.
The fluid may freeze on the windshield and cause low visibility. This may lead to an
accident, resulting in death or serious injury.

■Situations in which the pre-collision 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 an extreme change in vehicle height occurs
●When only part of your vehicle’s front en d 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 sub-
jected to a strong impact
●If an obstacle in front of the vehicle is small
●When the system judges that the driver performed a collision avoidance operation
via the accelerator pedal, brake pedal, or steering wheel
■Automatic cancelation of the pre-collision system
When a malfunction occurs due to sensor co ntamination, etc. that results in the sen-
sors being unable to detect obstacles, the pre-collision system will be automatically
disabled. In this case, the system will not activate even if there is a collision possibility.
■When there is a malfunction in the system
The pre-collision system warning light will flash and warning messages will be dis-
played. ( P. 495, 503)

CAUTION
■Limitations of the pre-collision system
Do not overly rely on the pre-collision system. Always drive safely, taking care to
observe your surroundings and checking for any obstacles or other road hazards.
Failure to do so may cause an accident resulting in death or serious injury.
■Handling the radar sensor
Observe the following to ensure the pre-collision system can function effectively.
Otherwise, the system may not function co rrectly and could result in an accident.
●Keep the sensor and grille cover clean at all times.
Clean the sensor and grille cover with a soft cloth so you do not mark or damage
them.
●Do not subject the sensor or surr ounding area to a strong impact.
If the sensor moves even slightly off position, the system may malfunction. If the
sensor or surrounding area is subject to a strong impact, always have the area
inspected and adjusted by your Lexus dealer.
●Do not disassemble the sensor.
●Do not attach accessories or stickers to the sensor, grille cover or surrounding
area.
●Do not modify or paint th e sensor and grille cover.
●Do not replace them with non-genuine parts.
■Handling the camera sensors (if equipped)
Observe the following to ensure that the PCS functions effectively:
●Keep the windshield clean at all times.
PCS effectiveness may be reduced due to the presence of raindrops, condensa-
tion, ice or snow on the windshield.
●Do not subject the camera sensor to a strong impact or force, and do not disas-
semble the camera sensor.
●Do not change the installation position of the camera sensor, or remove and rein-
stall it. The direction of the camera sensor is precisely adjusted.
●When the windshield fogs up, use the windshield defogger to dry the windshield.
During cold weather, using the heater with air blowing to the feet may allow the
upper part of the windshield to fog up, having a negative effect on the images.
●Do not place anything on the dashboard.
Images reflected on the windshield may reduce the effectiveness of the camera
sensor.
●Do not scratch the camera lens, or let it get dirty.
●Do not attach a sticker or other items to the windshield near the camera sensor.
