NOTICE
■When the windshield is dry
Do not use the wipers, as they may damage the windshield.
■When there is no washer fluid spray from the nozzle
Damage to the washer fluid pump may be caused if the lever is pulled toward you
and held continually.
■When a nozzle becomes blocked
In this case, contact your Lexus dealer.
Do not try to clear it with a pin or other object. The nozzle will be damaged.

◆ABS (Anti-lock Brake System)
Helps to prevent wheel lock when the brakes are applied suddenly, or if
the brakes are applied while dri ving on a slippery road surface
◆Brake assist
Generates an increased level of br aking force after the brake pedal is
depressed when the system detects a panic stop situation
◆VSC (Vehicle Stability Control)
Helps the driver to control skidding when swerving suddenly or turning
on slippery road surfaces
◆TRAC (Traction Control)
Helps to maintain drive power and prevent the drive wheels from spin-
ning when starting the vehicle or accelerating on slippery roads
◆Hill-start assist control
Helps to prevent the vehicle from ro lling backward when starting on an
incline or slippery slope
◆VGRS (Variable Gear Ratio Steering)
Adjusts the wheel turning angle in accordance with the vehicle speed
and steering wheel movement
Driving assist systems
To help enhance driving safety an d performance, the following systems
operate automatically in response to various driving situations. Be
aware, however, that these systems are supplementary and should not
be relied upon too heavily when operating the vehicle.

3024-5. Using the driving support systems
LS600hL_U(OM50E41U)
■Conditions that may trigger the system even if there is no danger of a collision
●When there is an object by the roadside at the entrance to a curve
●When passing an oncoming vehicle on a curve
●When driving over a narrow iron bridge
●When there is a metal object on the road surface
●When driving on an uneven road surface
●When passing an oncoming vehicle on a left-turn
●When your vehicle rapidly closes on the vehicle in front
●When a grade separation/interchange, sign , billboard, or other structure appears
to be directly in the vehicle’s line of travel
●When there is a metal plate in the road in front of the vehicle on a downhill slope
●When climbing a steep hill causes an overhead billboard or other metallic structure
to appear directly in the vehicle’s line of travel
●When driving under an overpass
●When an extreme change in vehicle height occurs
●When passing through certain toll gates
●When driving through a lump of steam or smoke
●When the radar sensor moves off position due to its surrounding area being sub-
jected to a strong impact
When the system is activated in the situations described above, there is also a possi-
bility that the seat belts will retract quickly and the brakes will be applied with a force
greater than normal. When the seat belt is locked in the retracted position, stop the
vehicle in a safe place, release the seat belt and refasten it.
■Obstacles not detected
The radar sensor cannot detect plastic obstacles such as traffic cones. There may
also be occasions when the sensor cannot detect pedestrians, animals, bicycles,
motorcycles, trees, or snowdrifts.
■A camera sensor cannot detect obstacles in the following situations:
●A camera sensor is directly receiving intense light, such as sunlight.
●Visibility is poor because of bad weather or other reasons.
●The sensor temperature is extremely high.
●The headlights are not turned on in dark ness such as at night or in a tunnel.

3064-5. Using the driving support systems
LS600hL_U(OM50E41U)
CAUTION
■Headlights (vehicles with camera sensors)
●Observe the following to ensure proper near-infrared ray projection:
• Keep the headlights clean at all times.
• The detection performance may deteriorate if the high beams are misaligned
or inoperative.
●The near-infrared ray transmitters projec t strong energy that is not visible.
Although the transmitters normally turn off when the vehicle is stopped, never
look into the headlights for your safety.
■Determining the direction the driver is facing and whether the driver’s eyes are
open or closed (vehicles with driver monitor system)
The direction the driver is facing and whether the driver’s eyes are open or closed
may not be determined correctly if the following conditions exist:
●There is an object between the driver monitor sensor and the driver’s face, such
as when the sensor is blocked.
●A part of the driver’s face is covered.
●The sensor or the driver’s face is exposed to intense light such as sunlight.
●The driving posture is improper.
●The vehicle is parked.
■Handling the driver monitor sensor (vehicles with driver monitor system)
Observe the following to ensure the driver monitor sensor can function effectively.
Failure to do so may result in a malfunction or may prevent the system from cor-
rectly determining the direction the driver is facing and whether the driver’s eyes
are open or closed, resulting in an unexpected accident.
●Do not disassemble, damage, lift or pull on the sensor.
●Do not select the sensor while driving.
●Do not wet or spill water on the sensor.
●Do not drop anything on or allow anythi ng to hit against the sensor. Do not sub-
ject the sensor to an impact.
●Make sure that there are no scratches, dirt or stickers on the side of the sensor
that faces the driver.
●Do not place any objects in front of the si de of the sensor that faces the driver or
cover the sensor.

CAUTION
■The near-infrared light
NOTICE
■The near-infrared camera
●Make sure the windshield is kept clean.
●System performance may deteriorate if rain water, condensation or ice adheres
to the camera. If you notice the inner lens of the camera is dirty, the garnish will
have to be replaced. Consult your Lexus dealer.
●Do not subject the camera to strong impacts, or disassemble the camera.
●As the alignment of the camera has been very finely adjusted, do not change or
remove the mounting.
●If the windshield fogs up, defog the windshield using the front defroster.
●Do not dirty or scratch the camera lens.
●Night view may not function properly if an object is placed on the sensor, or any-
thing that blocks the sensor is affixed to the windshield.
Follow these precautions to avoid damage to
or incorrect operation of the Lexus night
view system.
●System performance may deteriorate if the
areas around the headlights are dirty. Clean
the vehicle if it is dirty.
●The near-infrared ray tr ansmitters irradiate
strong energy not visible to the eyes. Do
not stare at the light at close range for a
long time.
Follow these precautions to avoid damage to
or incorrect operation of the Lexus night
view.

3264-6. Driving tips
LS600hL_U(OM50E41U)
Perform the following according to the driving conditions:
●Do not try to forcibly open a window or move a wiper that is frozen.
Pour warm water over the frozen area to melt the ice. Wipe away the
water immediately to prevent it from freezing.
●To ensure proper operation of the climate control system fan, remove
any snow that has accumulated on the air inlet vents in front of the wind-
shield.
●Check for and remove any excess ice or snow that may have accumu-
lated on the exterior lights, vehicle’s roof, chassis, around the tires or on
the brakes.
●Remove any snow or mud from the bo ttom of your shoes before getting
in the vehicle.
Accelerate the vehicle slowly, keep a safe distance between you and the
vehicle ahead, and drive at a reduced speed suitable to road conditions.
Park the vehicle and move the shift lever to P without setting the parking
brake. The parking brake may freeze up, preventing it from being
released. If necessary, block the wheels to prevent inadvertent sliding or
creeping.

LS600hL_U(OM50E41U)
■Ventilation and air conditioning odors
●To let fresh air in, set the air conditioning system to the outside air mode.
●During use, various odors from inside and outside the vehicle may enter into and
accumulate in the air condit ioning system. This may then cause odor to be emitted
from the vents.
●To reduce potential odors from occurring:
• It is recommended that the air conditio ning system be set to outside air mode
prior to turning the vehicle off.
• The start timing of the blower may be delayed for a short period of time immedi- ately after the air conditioning system is started in automatic mode.
■Air conditioning filter

■Customization
Settings (e.g. exhaust gas sensor se nsitivity, etc.) can be changed.
(Customizable features P. 5 6 4 )
CAUTION
■To prevent the windshield from fogging up
Do not use
during cool air operation in extremely humid weather. The differ-
ence between the temperature of the outs ide air and that of the windshield can
cause the outer surface of the windshield to fog up, blocking your vision.
NOTICE
■To prevent 12-volt battery discharge
Do not leave the air conditioning system on longer than necessary when the hybrid
system is off.
