Alert
Malfunction
Visit Your Dealer” The system may not be operating properly.
 Have the vehicle inspected at your Lexus
dealer.
“Forward Camera
System
Unavailable
Clean Windshield” Dirt, rain, condensation, ice, snow, etc. are
present on the windshield in front of the cam-
era sensor.
 Turn the LDA system of f, remove any dirt,
rain, condensation, ice, snow, etc. from the
windshield, and then turn the LDA system
back on.
“Forward Camera
System
Unavailable” The operation conditions of the camera sen-
sor (temperature, etc.) are not met.
 When the operation conditions of the cam-
era sensor (temperature, etc.) are met, the
LDA system will become available. Turn
the LDA system off, wait for a little while,
and then turn the LDA system back on.
“Lane Departure Alert Unavailable” The LDA system is temporarily canceled due
to a malfunction in a sensor other than the
camera sensor.
 Turn the LDA system off and follow the
appropriate troubleshooting procedures
for the warning message. Afterward, drive
the vehicle for a short time, and then turn
the LDA system back on.
“Lane Departure
Alert
Unavailable
Below Approx
32 mph” The LDA system cannot be used as the vehicle
speed is less than approximately 32 mph
(50 km/h).
 Drive the vehicle at approximately 32 mph
(50 km/h) or more.

Dynamic radar cruise control  with full-speed
range 
In vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode, the vehicle automatically acceler-
ates, decelerates and stops to match the speed changes of the preceding vehicle
even if the accelerator pedal is not depr essed. In constant speed control mode,
the vehicle runs at a fixed speed.
Use the dynamic radar cruise control with full-speed range on freeways and
highways. ●

WARNING ■
Before using dynamic radar cruise control with full-speed range●
Driving safely is the sole responsibility of the driver. Do not rely solely on the system,
and drive safely by always paying ca reful attention to your surroundings. ●
The dynamic radar cruise control with full- speed range provides driving assistance to
reduce the driver’s burden. However, there are limitations to the assistance provided.
Read the following conditions carefully. Do not overly rely on this system and always
drive carefully.
• When the sensor may not be correctly detecting the vehicle ahead:  P. 285
• Conditions under which the vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode may not
function correctly:  P. 286●
Set the speed appropriately depending on the speed limit, traffi c flow, road condi-
tions, weather conditions, etc. ●
Even when the system is functioning norma lly, the condition of the preceding vehicle
as detected by the system may differ from the condition observed by the driver.
Therefore, the driver must always remain alert, assess the danger of each situation
and drive safely. Relying on this system or assuming the system ensures safety while
driving can lead to an accident, resulting in death or serious injury. ●
Switch the dynamic radar cruise control with full-speed range off using the “ON/
OFF” button when not in use. ■
Cautions regarding the driving assist systems
Observe the following precautions, as there are limitations to the assistance provided
by the system.
Failure to do so may cause an accident resulting in death or serious injury.●
Assisting the driver to measure following distance
The dynamic radar cruise cont rol with full-speed range is only intended to help the
driver in determining the following distan ce between the driver’s own vehicle and a
designated vehicle traveling ahead. It is no t a mechanism that allows careless or inat-
tentive driving, and it is not a system that can assist the driver in low-visibility condi-
tions. It is still necessary for driver to pa y close attention to the vehicle’s surroundings.●
Assisting the driver to judg e proper following distance
The dynamic radar cruise control with full-speed range determines whether the fol-
lowing distance between the driver’s own vehicle and a designated vehicle traveling
ahead is within a set range. It is not capable of making any other type of judgement.
Therefore, it is absolutely necessary for the driver to remain vigilant and to determine
whether or not there is a possibility of danger in any given situation.●
Assisting the driver to operate the vehicle
The dynamic radar cruise control with full-speed range has limited capability to pre-
vent or avoid a collision with a vehicle trave ling ahead. Therefore, if there is ever any
danger, the driver must take immediate and direct control of the vehicle and act
appropriately in order to ensure the safety of all involved.

Driving WARNING ■
Situations unsuitable for dynamic rada r cruise control with full-speed range
Do not use dynamic radar cruise control with full-speed range in any of the following
situations.
Doing so may result in inappropriate speed control and could cause an accident result-
ing in death or serious injury. ●
Roads where there are pede strians, cyclists, etc.●
In heavy traffic ●
On roads with sharp bends ●
On winding roads ●
On slippery roads, such as thos e covered with rain, ice or snow●
On steep downhills, or where there are sudden changes between sharp up and down
gradients
Vehicle speed may exceed the set speed when driving down a steep hill.●
At entrances to freeways and highways ●
When weather conditions are bad enough that they may prevent the sensors from
detecting correctly (fog, snow, sandstorm, heavy rain, etc.)●
When there is rain, snow, etc. on the fron t surface of the radar sensor or camera sen-
sor ●
In traffic conditions that require frequent repeated a cceleration and deceleration●
When your vehicle is towing a trailer or during emergency towing ●
When an approach warning buzzer is heard often

LX570_OM_OM60R07U_(U) 4-5. Using the driving support systems
This mode employs a radar sensor to detect the presence of vehicles up to
approximately 328 ft. (100 m) ahead, de termines the current vehicle-to-vehicle
following distance, and operates to main tain a suitable following distance from
the vehicle ahead. When driving on downhill slopes, the ve hicle-to-vehicle distance may become
shorter.
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 switch.
Example of deceleration cruising and follow-up cruising
When a preceding vehicle driving sl ower than the set speed appearsWhen 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 (the stop lights will come on at this time). Th e system will respond to
changes in the speed of the vehicle ahead in order to maintain the vehicle-to-vehicle
distance set by the driver. Approach warning warns you when the system cannot
decelerate sufficie ntly to prevent your vehicle from closing in on the vehicle ahead.
When the vehicle ahead of you stops, your vehicle will also stop (vehicle is stopped by
system control). After the vehicle ahead starts off, pushing the cruise control lever up
or depressing the accelerator pedal will resume follow-up cruising.
Example of acceleration
When there are no longer any preceding vehicles driving slower than the set
speed The system accelerates until the set speed is reached. The system then returns to con-
stant speed cruising.Driving in vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode

Driving Press the “ON/OFF” button to acti-
vate the cruise control. Radar cruise control indicator will come
on and a message will be displayed on
the multi-information display.
Press the button again to deactivate the
cruise control.
If the “ON/OFF” button is pressed and
held for 1.5 seconds or more, the system
turns on in constant speed control
mode. (  P. 283)
Accelerate or decelerate, with
accelerator pedal operation, to the
desired vehicle speed (at or above
approximately 30 mph [50 km/h])
and push the lever down to set the
speed. Cruise control “SET” indicator will come
on.
The vehicle speed at the moment the
lever is released becomes the set speed.
If the lever is operated while the vehicl e speed is below appr oximately 30 mph (50
km/h) and a preceding vehicle is present, the set speed will be adjusted to approxi-
mately 30 mph (50 km/h).Setting the vehicle speed (vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode) 1
