46 1-1. For safe use
RC F_U ■
If the SRS airbags deploy (inflate) ●
Slight abrasions, burns, brui sing etc., may be sustained from SRS airbags, due to the
extremely high speed deployment (inflation) by hot gases. ●
A loud noise and white powder will be emitted. ●
Parts of the airbag module (steering wheel hub, airbag cover and inflator) as well as the
front seats, parts of the front and rear pillars, and roof side rails may be hot for several
minutes. The airbag itself may also be hot. ●
The windshield may crack. ●
For Lexus Enform Safety Connect subscribers, if the SRS airbags deploy or in the event
of a severe rear-end collision, the system is designed to send an emergency call to the
response center, notifying them of the vehicle’s location (without needing to push the
“SOS” button) and an agent will attempt to speak with the occupa nts to ascertain the
level of emergency and assistance required . If the occupants are unable to communi-
cate, the agent automatically treats the call as an emergency and helps to dispatch the
necessary emergency services. (  P. 370)WARNING ■

RC F_U WARNING ■
Before using LDA system
Do not rely solely upon the LDA system. The LDA system does not automatically drive
the vehicle or reduce the amount of attention that must be paid to the area in front of
the vehicle. The driver must always assume full responsibility for driving safely by pay-
ing careful attention to the surrounding cond itions and operating the steering wheel to
correct the path of the vehicle. Also, the driver must take adequate breaks when
fatigued, such as from driving for a long period of time.
Failure to perform appropriate driving operat ions and pay careful attention may lead to
an accident, resulting in death or serious injury. ■
To avoid operating LDA system by mistake
When not using the LDA system, use the LDA switch to turn the system off.■

RC F_U WARNING ■
When using the intuitive parking assist
Observe the following precautions.
Failing to do so may result in the vehicle be ing unable to be driv en safely and possibly
cause an accident. ●
Do not use the sensor at speeds in excess of 6 mph (10 km/h). ●
The sensors’ detection areas and reaction ti mes are limited. When moving forward or
reversing, check the areas surrounding the vehicle (especially th e sides of the vehi-
cle) for safety, and drive slowly, using the brake to control the vehicle’s speed. ●
Do not install accessories within the sensors’ detection areas.■
Limitations of the sensors ●
RC350/RC300: The detection areas of the sensors are limited to the areas around
the vehicle’s front and rear bumpers. ●
RC F: The detection areas of the sensors are limited to the areas around the vehicle’s
front corners and the rear bumpers. ●
Certain vehicle conditions and surrounding environments, such as the following, may
affect the ability of th e sensors to correctly detect obje cts. Pay particul ar attention in
the following situations. Failure to do so may result in the vehicle being driven
unsafely, possibly leading to an accident.
• When there is dirt, snow or ice on a se nsor (Cleaning the sensor will resolve this
problem.)
• When the sensor is frozen (Thawing the area will resolve this problem.)
In especially cold weather, if a sensor is frozen the screen may show an abnormal
display, or objects may not be detected
• When a sensor is covered in any way
• When the vehicle is leaning considerably to one side
• When driving on an extremely bump y road, incline, gravel, or grass
• When the vicinity of the vehicle is noisy due to vehicle horns, motorcycle engines,
air brakes of large vehicles, or other loud noises producing ultrasonic waves
• When there is another vehicle equipped with parking assist sensor in the vicinity
• When the sensor is coated with a sheet of spray or heavy rain
• When the vehicle is equipped with a fender pole or wireless antenna
• When a towing eyelet is installed
• When a bumper or sensor receives a strong impact
• When the vehicle is approaching a tall or curved curb
• When driving in harsh sunlig ht or intense cold weather
• When an object is directly under a bumper
• When objects become too close to the sensors
• When a non-genuine Lexus suspension (lowered suspension, etc.) is installed
In addition to the situations above, there are instances in which, because of their
shape, signs and other objects may be judged by the sensor to be closer than they
are.
