cle
• When approaching the side or front of a vehicle
• If a preceding vehicle has a small rear end, such as an unloaded truck

• When a vehicle ahead is not directly in front of your vehicle
• When driving in incl ement weather such
as heavy rain, fog, snow or a sandstorm
• When the vehicle is hit by water, snow,
dust, etc. from a vehicle ahead
• When driving through steam or smoke
• When driving in a place where the sur- rounding brightness changes suddenly,
such as at the entrance or exit of a tunnel
• When a very bright light, such as the sun
or the headlights of oncoming traffic,
shines directly into the camera sensor
• When the surrounding area is dim, such
as at dawn or dusk, or while at night or in
a tunnel

■Warning message
If the following warning messag e is displayed on the multi-information display and the LDA
indicator illuminates in orange, follow th e appropriate troubleshooting procedure.
Warning messageDetails/Actions
“Lane Departure Alert Malfunction
Visit Your Dealer”The system may not be operating properly.
Have the vehicle inspected at your Lexus dealer.
“Front Camera Unavailable Remove
Debris On Windshield”
Dirt, rain, condensation, ice, snow, etc. are present
on the windshield in front of the camera sensor.
Turn the LDA system off, remove any dirt, rain,
condensation, ice, snow, et c. from the windshield,
and then turn the LDA system back on.
“Front Camera Unavailable”
The operation conditions of the camera sensor
(temperature, etc.) are not met.
 When the operation conditions of the camera
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 sen-
sor.
 Turn the LDA system off and follow the appropri-
ate troubleshooting procedures for the warning
message. Afterward, drive the vehicle for a short
time, and then turn the LDA system back on.

This mode employs a radar sensor to detect the presence of vehicles up to approx-
imately 328 ft. (100 m) ahead, determines the current vehicle-to-vehicle following
distance, and operates to maintain a suit able following distance from the vehicle
ahead.
Note that vehicle-to-vehicle distance will close in when traveling on downhill slopes.
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 distance
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 slower than the set speed appears
When a vehicle is detected running ahead of you, the system automatically decelerates
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). The sy stem 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 th e system cannot decelerate sufficiently to
prevent your vehicle from closing in on the vehicle ahead.
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 re ached. The system then returns to constant
speed cruising.

■When the message is displayed on the
multi-information display showing that
TRAC has been disabled even if the switch has not been pressed
TRAC cannot be operated. Contact your
Lexus dealer.
■Operating conditions of hill-start assist
control
When the following four conditions are met,
the hill-start assist control will operate:
●The shift lever is in a position other than P
or N (when starting off forward/back-
ward on an upward incline).
●The vehicle is stopped.
●The accelerator pedal is not depressed.
●The parking brake is not engaged.
■Automatic system cancelation of
hill-start assist control
The hill-start assist control will turn off in any
of the following situations:
●The shift lever is moved to P or N.
●The accelerator pedal is depressed.
●The parking brake is engaged.
●Approximately 2 seconds elapse after
the brake pedal is released.
■VGRS is disabled when
VGRS may stop operating in the following
situations.
In this event, the steering wheel may move
from its straight forward position, but it will
return when the system restarts.
●When the steering wheel is operated for
an extended period of time while the
vehicle is stopped or is moving very
slowly
(on vehicles with LDH, DRS is disabled
together with VGRS)
●When the steering wheel has been held
fully to the left or right
The center position of the steering wheel
may change when VGRS is disabled. How-
ever, the position will return to normal after
VGRS is reactivated.
■When the battery is disconnected (vehi-
cles with VGRS)
The steering wheel may move from its
straight forward position, but this will be
corrected automatically when driving.
■Sounds and vibrations caused by the
ABS, brake assist, VSC, TRAC, hill-start
assist control and VGRS systems
●A sound may be heard from the engine
compartment when the brake pedal is
depressed repeatedly, when the engine is
started or just after the vehicle begins to
move. This sound does not indicate that a
malfunction has occurred in any of these
systems.
●Any of the following conditions may
occur when the above systems are oper-
ating. None of these indicates that a mal-
function has occurred.
• Vibrations may be felt through the vehicle body and steering.
• A motor sound may be heard after the
vehicle comes to a stop.
• The brake pedal may pulsate slightly after the ABS is activated.
• The brake pedal may move down slightly after the ABS is activated.
■EPS, VGRS and DRS operation sound
When the steering wheel is operated, a
motor sound (whirring sound) may be
heard. This does not indicate a malfunction.
■Reactivation of the TRAC/VSC systems
Even after the TRAC /VSC systems have
been turned off, turning the engine off and
then on again will automatically reactivate
the TRAC/VSC systems.
■Reactivation of the TRAC system linked
to vehicle speed
When only the TRAC system is turned off,
the TRAC system will turn on when vehicle
speed increases. Ho wever, when both
TRAC/VSC systems are turned off, the sys-
tems will not turn on even when vehicle
speed increases.
■Reduced effectiveness of the EPS sys-
tem
The effectiveness of the EPS system is
reduced to prevent the system from over-
heating when there is frequent steering

key's registered air co nditioning settings.
●When the engine switch is turned off, the
current air conditioning settings will auto-
matically be registered to the electronic
key that was used to unlock the vehicle.
●The system may not operate correctly if
more than one electr onic key is in the
vicinity or if the smart access system with
push-button start is used to unlock a pas-
senger door.
